  1. Does your school give back q's on exams?

    tachybradyRN replied to Kitty Hawk's topic in General Students

    The only thing that frustrates me about "give-backs" this semester is that they're not done for the entire group of 100 students, they're done on a class by class, professor by professor basis. I've...

  2. nursing school and marriage

    tachybradyRN replied to e_zapanta's topic in General Nursing

    My mom and dad were fine when my mom was in nursing school, but she made some things clear up front: 1) She was going to need ALONE time, study time, for her, away from him. 2) When she was not...

  3. I guess NCC started sending out acceptance letters

    tachybradyRN replied to Natingale's topic in New York Nursing

    What do they mean, "tentatively accepted"? Is there something more you have to do before being accepted? When I was accepted to NCC, I was accepted, period (pending my passing the courses I was...

  4. 1st year Nursing STUDENT

    tachybradyRN replied to mcStudent's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I also am still under my parents' insurance (I'm assuming you are) and have to take 12 credits to be full time and keep my health insurance. That said, I took A&P2 my first sem. with NUR 101 and...

  5. 1st Year Nursing Student comes to an end

    tachybradyRN replied to Natingale's topic in New York Nursing

    I certainly expected it to be tough, but nothing could have prepared me for the reality of the situation. For learning how to say, "Yes ma'am, and how high would you like me to jump?" even when I...

  6. what makes nursing courses challenging?

    tachybradyRN replied to 1lollipop's topic in New York Nursing

    I'm currently ending my first year of nursing school at NCC. I second what Hydakins said, in that "Its a LOT of info to learn in a small amount of time." If you are willing to make a real...

  7. Did anyone apply for Nassau Community fall 2008?

    tachybradyRN replied to Ehope's topic in New York Nursing

    I got in Fall '07. Applications are due in the middle of March or Feb or something, right? We didn't find out we were accepted until last week of April-early May. I had registered for other classes...

  8. What to expect first year clinicals?

    tachybradyRN replied to hopefornursing's topic in General Students

    First semester for us, the focus was on assessment and communication (using therapeutic communication techniques which we learned in the first 1-2 months). By the end of the first semester, each of...

  9. My name is Alli.. and I'm an addict.

    tachybradyRN posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    I can't tell you how blessed I feel to have found this forum subcategory. I'm an addict in recovery.. two years on April 6th!.. and a nursing student, and I feel like sometimes I don't have anyone to...

  10. You know you are in nursing school when ctxt

    tachybradyRN replied to tnstudentnurse's topic in General Students

    When you're practicing landmarking for IM injection sites in the lab and you get to the Dorsogluteal site, and you say with a straight face, "I need a real butt instead of this mannequin" and your...

  11. You know you are in nursing school when ctxt

  12. should I be concerned about my daughter not menstrating?

    tachybradyRN replied to oknurse320's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I got mine at 13, but my little sister got hers at 14 and was super embarrrassed about it. She STILL won't discuss it with my mom and still sends me to by Tampax, haha. That said, I know girls who...

  13. Most Arduous Courses in School?

    tachybradyRN replied to 1lollipop's topic in New York Nursing

    I love Medical Micro but I would definitely suggest getting your pre-reqs and co-reqs done BEFORE taking the nursing classes if possible. I took A&P 2 with NUR 101 and am now finishing Micro with...

  14. What should I do - Nassau Community College

    tachybradyRN replied to nurse2btracy's topic in New York Nursing

    I bet I could guess what professor you had for 103/104. I'm finishing up 105 and it's definitely harder than 101, but only because you're really expected to understand and apply INTEGRATED content,...

  15. Summer Employment

    tachybradyRN replied to am0r803's topic in New York Nursing

    I would say externships like the one offered by NS-LIJ, but I don't know when the application deadlines are. I had an interview for a NS-LIJ externship the other day. (I'm also first year ADN, second...

    tachybradyRN replied to ilovematt48's topic in General Students

    I had my interview yesterday. I was asked: 1) Tell me about a time you had to make a difficult decision while in the clinical area. What happened? What did you do? What was the outcome? 2) Tell me...

  17. Stethoscope for school. Input?

    tachybradyRN replied to lainith's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I use a regular sprague stethescope and it's perfectly adequate. I figure, more expensive ones run the risk of theft, so I'd rather have a cheap one (I'm not exactly made of money). I've never had a...

  18. I got in!!!!!

    tachybradyRN replied to misserella8036's topic in Texas Nursing

    Congratulations on getting in. You're in for the ride of your

  21. I got into Nassau Community College!!!

    tachybradyRN replied to Lilluv117's topic in New York Nursing

    PS: It's not as scary as it sounds. It is possible to get an A if you work your butt off. I got an A in 101, Fall 2007. I'm in 105 right now and I'm currently a very high B+ (borderline

  22. In the state of New York can you work as a graduate nurse?

    tachybradyRN replied to CalypsoRN's topic in New York Nursing

    You mean right after you graduate, before you pass your boards? I don't know about all hospitals, but my mom works at NS Plainview and she was hired as a new grad before passing boards, and NS...

  23. Quitting smoking.. for real this time.

    tachybradyRN replied to tachybradyRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I did not finish the course of meds. I did the starting week and was fine, noticed that when I smoked, I wasn't getting that nicotine "rush" you sometimes get. Once I got into the maintenance weeks,...

  24. What mantra is getting you through nursing school?

    tachybradyRN replied to MySimplePlan's topic in General Students

    "this is temporary". really, it's only two years (or four years for some of us) and i can totally suck it up and take it for another year. i'm almost halfway there already, and i feel like i just...

  25. HIPAA and personal journals

    tachybradyRN replied to newlpn08's topic in General Nursing

    I would think as long as you don't post hospital name, any patient information, and any info that could give away where you were (like town names or anything) it wouldn't be a HIPAA violation.. but I...
