  1. What is it with this new "fad"?

    missjennmb replied to mrsraisinkain's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I stopped reading the responses when it began to go back and forth about symantics, but just wanted to comment on my experience. My son has ADHD. I've been told its "full blown" "most severe case...

  2. Is nursing the right choice?

    missjennmb replied to VVCN2012's topic in General Students

    If you use this board as your measuring stick, dont. People come here for help/to vent and nobody feels like making a post every time they had a GOOD day. Instead people post threads when they are...

  3. How was your first nursing course ?

    missjennmb replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    I was told during orientation that "only half the class passed Fundamentals last year". Apparently they changed it because even those that were about to fail three weeks ago are now either passing or...

  4. Best route of temp for intubated pt

    missjennmb replied to healthybee's topic in General Students

    I was thinking axillary or tympanic as well. Maybe someone with more experience can chime in. We just did our vitals part of Fundamentals a couple of weeks ago, but I guess I could be

  5. OB clinicals for males

    missjennmb replied to NursingIs4CoolPeople's topic in General Students

    I think what surprises me the most about this, is that more people have not mentioned being denied as a student in general. It's a bit hypocritical of me I guess, being on the student side suddenly...

  6. Flunked my test today. I'm so tired.

    missjennmb replied to cokeforbreakfast's topic in General Students

    You do child immunizations during clinical? God I hope we don't do that. Just the idea of a student learning to do immunizations on my babies mortifies me. Maybe I'm just not quite into "nurse...

  7. Universal Health Care and Wages

    missjennmb replied to leeae85's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    So the OP asks for data and gets a very colored anti Universal Healthcare response. That will get this thread moved to the political forum, and there are quite enough UVH threads there already to...

  8. Would you feel comfortable with putting your loved ones in a nursing home?

    missjennmb replied to BradleyRN's topic in General Nursing

    You make a very realistic point. I guess this issue is not black and white, which is where most of us are trying to hang our hats. I think thats really incredible that you are able and willing to do...

  9. a lil frustrated

    missjennmb replied to jjbutterflyjj's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I don't know your hours, but I have found myself completely unable to study at home. Instead, I stick around school as much extra as possible, and I DONT let myself get sucked into the chit...

  10. Losing Friends....

    missjennmb replied to ~FutureNurse~'s topic in General Students

    Just think about 10 years from now...5 years from now... what is going to be more important to you? Nursing obviously. I don't know what your friends do for careers, but I can definitely say that...

  11. To those that failed a semester in nursing school...

    missjennmb replied to justme1972's topic in General Students

    There are 4 out of 20 of the students in my class that are back from last year, and another one that will be joining us in the fall. I would either go back (because you'd know the teacher's material)...

  12. The Perils of White Pants

    missjennmb replied to DroogieRN's topic in General Students

    I dont think its too much to ask to duck into the ladies room every couple of hours. I doubt you could do it every 20 minutes, but if that was the need, you'd probably be passing out from blood loss....

  13. Difficult classmates - how do you deal?

    missjennmb replied to JettaDP's topic in General Students

    I have run into this issue already this year. There are some very two faced, just plain MEAN trouble making people in my classroom. I started out wanting to get along with everyone. But ya know what...

  14. A&P in first year nursing school. OMG

    missjennmb replied to phuture_rn's topic in General Students

    just wanted to say that I agree on coming fully prepared! It makes a huge difference in my comprehension level having already had exposure to the chapter before

  15. Points Away From Failing Out

    missjennmb replied to SamanthaSN's topic in General Students

    Stop worrying and caring about everyone else. It will only bring you down. You need to keep your eye on the prize and knock this out. Instead of thinking about passing and failing the course, just...

  16. A&P in first year nursing school. OMG

    missjennmb replied to phuture_rn's topic in General Students

    I'm in 1st semester nsg school and taking AP1 as well and it really is TOUGH. I know you said your teacher is tough, but the class is tough everywhere, I promise. I'm barely scraping by, but...

  17. Pain is subjective?

    missjennmb replied to lena130's topic in General Nursing

    This post is REALLY confusing to me, lol. You're supposed to give meds as doctor ordered right? So if you were overdosing, it would be because the doctor had ordered them that way, so you would just...

  18. Student moms who homeschool

    missjennmb replied to studentmom2007's topic in General Students

    Thanks. :) Its really not getting tougher with my son than it was a few years ago (we've homeschooled for about 3 yrs other than his stint at public school last year). Its just that as he gets...

  19. Student moms who homeschool

    missjennmb replied to studentmom2007's topic in General Students

    Thank you so much for the feedback. I'm in South Carolina and I think there is a lot of resistance here to virtual schools (K12 is one of our "South Carolina Virtual Schools" so probably fairly...

  20. Should I do an LPN Program?

    missjennmb replied to imapsychrn's topic in General Students

    Think of it this way... where will you be in 2 years? If you can commit to the 1 yr of LPN school, you will be half way to your RN. If you wait on the RN program, you will still be on the waiting...

  21. Anyone Get Soooo Nervous During Checkoff

    missjennmb replied to Butterfly3001's topic in General Students

    I really did a lot at the beginning, but after doing them a few times, and realizing that, worst case scenario, I just get to do it again the next day, and realizing that she is just a person, I don't...

  22. Student moms who homeschool

    missjennmb replied to studentmom2007's topic in General Students

    My son is in 8th grade using K12, and I'm really having a tough time. We use the state's curriculum (its free) and I really like the offerings, but there are SO many requirements, and I'm finding it...

  23. rude classmates

    missjennmb replied to beckyb2201's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I would urge caution if you feel the need to say something. Make sure the comment is between you and the teacher, or better yet, say nothing at all. I hate to be so negative, but students can be...

  24. Made a Mistake

    missjennmb replied to ChicagoRN2010's topic in General Students

    Bluntly? people are going to be negative if they're negative, and if it wasnt grades it would be something else. Eye on the prize and ignore the rest. (I have this tattoo'd to the inside of my...

  25. Pain is subjective?

    missjennmb replied to lena130's topic in General Nursing

    Is the concept of giving a placebo ever used? For some reason this just seems really crazy to me, yet two people have made that comment thus far...so perhaps I am just
