    AOX4RN replied to bringtherain112's topic in General Students

    AOX4RN replied to Hopeful3's topic in General Students

    AOX4RN replied to 777RN's topic in General Students

    AOX4RN replied to anonymousstudent's topic in General Students

    Tomorrow is my last day for the Maternity/Child rotation and it cannot end soon enough. It was a waste of time! I would rather have had 9 more weeks in med-surg to keep up my momentum. For all the...

  8. Why am I a B student?

    AOX4RN replied to Despareux's topic in General Students

    Honestly no matter how much or how little I study, I get at least a B on every test with a couple of As tossed in. I learned that in my first semester. Now I make sure I understand it and get a lot...

  13. The Nursing Math Thread

    AOX4RN replied to Tweety's topic in General Students

  14. The Nursing Math Thread

    AOX4RN replied to Tweety's topic in General Students

  22. Has anyone else gained weight in NS?

    AOX4RN replied to SCSUStudent's topic in General Students

    I gained some in the first semester but needed to watch it because lugging around extra weight while trying to lug around patients isn't a great idea. So I've been eating better, exercising and lost...

  23. How do you communicate with your patient?

    AOX4RN replied to ashm24's topic in General Students

    Since you already know what you need to get the answers for, see if you can fall into a conversation about those items naturally. The patient usually gives you more information that way than if you...
