  1. Evolution of your specialty interests

    Faith213 replied to SkiMama's topic in General Students

    I'm interested in anything from conception (antepartal) to peds. Pediatric cardiology and NICU are some areas in which I've had experience (albeit that pediatric cardiology has been from a patient's...

  2. Any nurses have SVT or IST?

    Faith213 replied to travelnurse28's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Your symptoms are similar to mine. I'm over a year post-ablation for WPW. They haven't found anything abnormal either. I'm concerned that a silent pathway may becoming active since they ablated the...

    Faith213 replied to Yummy Chocolate's topic in General Students

    Faith213 replied to tammy1974's topic in General Students

    I got a 988 on my Fundamentals HESI which converts to a 91.45%

  8. For Fun--Kudos 2 Me...The "toot your own horn" thread

    Faith213 replied to tammy1974's topic in General Students

    My instructor has been using my Patient Data Records (20-25 pages in length and full of everything about your patient) which I have received 20/20's on as examples to the other students and...

  9. Pathophysiology

    Faith213 replied to kristi1111's topic in General Students

    Pathophysiology was a pre-req for my program. I found that if you paid attention and did well in A&P, then you just build upon that knowledge a little bit and should do well. However, like others...

  10. How many patients do you have during clinicals?

    Faith213 replied to Kaychell's topic in General Students

    The first semester we had one total care patient. This semester we again start off with one total care patient and can do a lot more than we could last semester such as oral medication administration,...

  12. One week to go

    Faith213 replied to cmonkey's topic in General Students

    I am also starting my junior year on the 23rd and am ready to have a nursing class involving more pathophysiology instead of all therapeutic communication and the

  14. " Self directed" nursing program..???

    Faith213 replied to DahliaDaisy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with That Guy. I like the structure of a classroom setting and having deadlines. It'd be too easy for me to put off doing my work. If you are motivated and self-driven it might could work out....

  15. Remember when...?

    Faith213 replied to Nepenthe Sea's topic in General Students

    - When you didn't have to try to memorize every thing about hundreds of drugs and still worry that if you forget one little detail about a single drug that you'll end up killing your patient.* - When...

  16. Kicked out of nursing school b/c medical dx! Wth? Really?

    Faith213 replied to Succubus's topic in General Students

    I understand your frustration, but technically it is their business. It is their responsibly to make sure their students are safely taking care of patients. Any condition, including mental illness,...

  17. Things you would love to say to your fellow nursing students!

    Faith213 replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    You just perfectly described one of my classmates. This person also thought that since they were repeating the class and "already knows all this" that they had to answer every question that was...

  18. New student question...

    Faith213 replied to mnmcbm's topic in General Students

    My pre-reqs included pathophysiology, so that would be what I feel I should have spent more time on. If that course is included as a nursing class in your program, you shouldn't have to worry about...

  19. What is the funniest thing a patient has ever said to you?

    Faith213 replied to carolmaccas66's topic in General Nursing

    I've only had twelve days of clinicals so far, so nothing hilarious, yet. I did introduce myself to one of my patients and said I'd be there all day to help with his care. He starts laughing and says,...

  20. So how/what do people react when you tell them you're a student nurse?

    Faith213 replied to chibisam's topic in General Students

    "Oh you'll never have a problem finding a job." If only they could read the posts on

  21. Do you read the book before or after material is covered in class?

    Faith213 replied to Izzy11's topic in General Students

    In my program, you have to read ahead of time and actually retain some of the information. We have pop quizzes (8% of course total) relatively frequently, and if you just looked over the PowerPoint...

  22. Baby during NS = bad idea?

    Faith213 replied to gumby1411's topic in General Students

    That's why I came to the conclusion that they were stretching the truth, if not flat out lying. I figured the hospital had a policy like a previous poster mentioned about not providing maternity leave...

  23. Baby during NS = bad idea?

    Faith213 replied to gumby1411's topic in General Students

    This is another good point. Grads who have interviewed at a local hospital have said that they are requiring them to sign an agreement to not get pregnant during their first year there. Now, I don't...

  24. How long did it take you to complete your prereqs?

    Faith213 replied to tmarie's topic in General Students

    I know this wasn't directed at me specifically but I thought I could answer the question, too. At my school, CLEP tests do not have a grade or GPA attached to them, they provide you with credit in the...

  25. What do you wish you were told on the first day?

    Faith213 replied to AOx1's topic in General Students
