  1. The real reason I'm freaking out

    missjennmb replied to NewNurseAlert's topic in General Students

    There's nothing you can do but move forward. You can't worry about what happens as a result of what you've done in the past, but all you can do is just act exemplary (and make sure they dont get the...

  2. Nursing diagnosis for ear infection

    missjennmb replied to Idaho Murse's topic in General Students

    a child who cannot sleep for more than a half hour would have a lot more problems than pain... ineffective coping skills (waaay more temper tantrums and break downs due to lack of sleep), regressed...

  3. Working Full-Time

    missjennmb replied to Fedwork10's topic in General Students

    I think it also depends on the teacher and program. Our courseload is pretty crazy. If your teacher does not teach in a way that works for you or narrows down the content somewhat, it makes your...

  4. Working Full-Time

    missjennmb replied to Fedwork10's topic in General Students

    I am not sure about the other parts of your life, but I just about lost my mind until I stopped working as of last week (this was my first "time off" this weekend since Christmas). I have a 14 yr old...

  5. Just burnt out

    missjennmb posted a topic in General Students

    I'm half way through my program. Half of my class is gone due to failing and many others have only been saved by questionable last minute bonus points (some avail to the rest of the class and some...

  6. they teach us to be advocatees for patients but,,,

    missjennmb replied to mRpeNa's topic in General Students

    To the OP I am very curious what your CI said? If I had a desire to do something for my patient that was outside of my directives for the day, I would go straight to my CI. An enema is something...

  7. Where do you want to work once you're done

    missjennmb replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    I said a whole bunch of places in my last post, but at this point, I don't want to work anywhere (atleast not right away). I need a break!

  8. Just burnt out

    missjennmb replied to missjennmb's topic in General Students

    Thanks for the supportive feedback. After talking with my friend on the way home from clinicals I was really feeling discouraged (she's not feeling as I am and was pretty much annoyed with me I...

  9. suggested reading for lpn student

    missjennmb replied to tnlpn8's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I would get a couple of pharm books the break before that class starts (pharmacology demystified or pharmacology made incredibly easy ect) because that has been the toughest class for everyone I have...

  10. Just burnt out

    missjennmb replied to missjennmb's topic in General Students

    thanks :) your response cheered me up :) I forget sometimes how far I've come. It feels like I have been in school for a decade and I cant imagine life without nursing school. I'm going to just...

  11. PLZ HELP! DIDN'T PASS

    missjennmb replied to slim2007's topic in General Students

    Not really sure what you are asking? You need to take some time for introspection and figure out exactly where the problem is and what you need help with. There are some great resources here, but...

  12. Injections practice?

    missjennmb replied to NurseStudentHusband's topic in General Students

    This is a surprising conversation for me. IMO injections are a piece of cake. The hardest part of injections really is knowing the data related (size of needle, med details, type of syringe, best...

  13. Some Honesty

    missjennmb replied to ccstudent's topic in General Students

    honesty? sounds like you're having a tough time, but please dont make everyone think that is how it is for every nurse everywhere. Where I live, they are trying to recruit us at the hospitals we are...

  14. What students should NOT do before,during, and after exams

    missjennmb replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    Thats a great idea. I think I'll try the classical music. :) I, like you, cant deal with lyrics because I try to listen to them, but I think I could listen to classical, and I love classical.

  15. blah... i thought that nursing school was not going to be this hard!!!

    missjennmb replied to 9livesRN's topic in General Students

    There's a lot of drama, but if its anything like my school it will die down once people start to fail out. We're at the halfway point and even the most drama queen types have started to buckle down...

  16. For those of you with toddlers at home....

    missjennmb replied to krltdy's topic in General Students

    I have a 3 yr old and a 1 yr old. I have trouble with two of them but am usually ok with just one. First off I am not someone who leaves my knicknacks in reach, or leaves anything even remotely...

  17. What students should NOT do before,during, and after exams

    missjennmb replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    We are actually encouraged to use our classroom. We spend atleast 10 hours a week there outside of class time studying together with our teachers' blessing and encouragement. We live in our...

  18. Interview etiquette for finding out the pay!!!

    missjennmb replied to XYnurse2B's topic in General Students

    Here's the thing... you should NEVER take a job without discussing the pay. Never. However, you want them to want you, before you ask them what they are going to pay you. WHY? Because, say that...

  19. What students should NOT do before,during, and after exams

    missjennmb replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    wow you guys are grumpy lol My study group and I study in our classroom for about 2 hrs before tests and most other days before class as well, and we continue right up until test/quiz time and have no...

  20. How are things with your home life while in school?

    missjennmb replied to j_audrey's topic in General Students

    My husband is not insecure, but life can still get rocky with school and everything. I actually stopped working just this week (halfway through LPN school, not expecting to finish RN school until...

  21. Which A&P Class should I take for LPN

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

    As I understand it, living with your mom means there is benefit in taking the "fast route" right? I dont live with your mom so I cant really tell you. I can say that if I lived with my mom I would...

  22. Where do you want to work once you're done

    missjennmb replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    No idea. I will have my LPN by the end of this year, but assuming I am not burned out beyond wanting to continue and my husband still has a job, I'm going to continue on to get my RN. I literally...

  23. I HAVE HAD IT!!!!!!

    missjennmb replied to raidermom's topic in School

    It must be frustrating for you, being the caretaker of all of these children. I can see both sides (although not if the parent is home on their butts doing nothing admittedly). I know that my...

  24. Anything but a Nurse!

    missjennmb replied to L&DWannabe's topic in General Students

    You have to make your own way in the world. Even if you DID end up hating it, the alternative, to never go after something you dream to be just because others told you not to, would eat you alive....

  25. Basic Pharmacology For Nurses by Clayton Stock Harroun

    missjennmb posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I need help. I have been through the same chapter 50 times and I just get more and more and MORE lost each time. Has anyone used this book for Pharmacology that could tell me how to understand what...
