  1. How should I handle this?

    missjennmb replied to dipsett08's topic in General Students

    suck it up and finish! It makes no sense to waste what you have done so far. You should be proud of yourself that you have gotten this far. Its only 5 courses, and then you can transfer that to the...

  2. Do You Outline Chapters?

    missjennmb replied to missjennmb's topic in General Students

    I guess the issue I'm having is that last semester I ALWAYS studied the wrong information and I'm trying to figure out a way to do better. I got a "B" but I really feel that there was no way that I...

  3. Best way to study

    missjennmb replied to georgia2009's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I got a B and I just read the material, did the end of chapter questions and study guide questions, then read the material again the weekend before the test. A classmate gets straight As and does...

  4. Which Medical Dictionary?

    missjennmb replied to SAHMStudent's topic in General Students

    I love my Tabers too. I didn't like the ones the school suggests because they are for students, and I wanted something that would still be relevant once I started working (not that they wouldnt but I...

  5. Do You Outline Chapters?

    missjennmb replied to missjennmb's topic in General Students

    agreed. The problem is that every time, if I try to narrow it down, I end up studying the wrong information. If I don't, I end up just reading the chapters over and over again, and reading doesn't...

  6. Do You Outline Chapters?

    missjennmb replied to missjennmb's topic in General Students

    This will be my second class with this instructor, and I'm pretty sure that she is using the same teaching method as she did for the last. Our syllabus only states which chapters we are covering on...

  7. What kind of Nursing school drama in your school?

    missjennmb replied to NoeIssa's topic in General Students

    We have a LOT of crazy drama in our class. I think its the size of the class (14 people now, started at 17 in August). Its disgusting. It makes me really hate the school, and I would transfer if it...

  8. Nursing student taking drugs

    missjennmb replied to txpatches's topic in General Students

    I would never put myself in a position to see "for a fact" that someone was smoking pot. Although I don't agree that it should be illegal any more or less than cigarettes, I value my freedom too much...

  9. Eating before clinicals

    missjennmb replied to shrimpchips's topic in General Students

    I think its really a bad idea to set students up with the expectation that they will not be able to eat once they are nurses for hours on end. You have to be flexible. At my hospital, a lot of...

  10. Needles/IV cert.....YIKES!!

    missjennmb replied to Scrubs'09's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Be excited that you get to be IV certified through your school!!! We are not, and I am pretty disapointed about it honestly. I don't understand why it is not a standard part of LPN education....

  11. The First two Nursing Process Courses

    missjennmb replied to Felicia327's topic in General Students

    What does your advisor say? (assuming she is a nursing instructor of some sort) Personally, I would take 2, but you really have to be committed to making it work at all costs. I take 1 nursing class...

  12. Eating before clinicals

    missjennmb replied to shrimpchips's topic in General Students

    My first rotation was a nursing home. The scent of it totally kept me from eating anything at all during the day. I have nothing against nursing homes, but I definitely choose not to eat there,...

  13. Why do a lot of people aim for the bare minimum?

    missjennmb replied to kgh31386's topic in General Students

    I don't squeek by, but I do find a point where I make the conscious choice to accept my grade rather than work harder. I have a lot going on in my life though and I'm stretched pretty thin,...

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

    missjennmb replied to phuture_rn's topic in General Students

    I'm so sorry for your struggles. Truly I am. Keep your chin up though and don't give up on your dreams. Atleast you are able to continue to take classes instead of having to stop

  15. Bored!!!!

    missjennmb replied to hunnybaby24's topic in General Students

    I'm bored, but I'm not ready to start back yet. I am on edge. I just cant seem to relax. part of me wants to climb into bed for the next two days (I work sat/sun and start back Monday) and the...

  16. How's the job market in YOUR area?

    missjennmb replied to Chico David's topic in General Nursing

    *we currently have 3 non-bedside nursing positions available (2 are LPN and 1 doesn't specify RN or LPN) and 13 bedside positions available (all RN) Our hospital has just mandated across the board no...

  17. How's the job market in YOUR area?

    missjennmb replied to Chico David's topic in General Nursing

    At one point there WAS an IT shortage. There was a sudden boom with the internet and newer greater programs for Windows, software use in offices, ect ect. The cycle generally goes: there's a...

  18. For Fun - Things You Want to Buy Once You're a Nurse

    missjennmb replied to Multicollinearity's topic in General Students

    What a great thread!! There have been a bunch of these in the past, but what better than a motivational thread as we head into a new semester? :) I'm shallow in some of my wants. I have given up so...

  19. Day One in the Life of a Nursing Student

    missjennmb replied to MachoNurse's topic in General Nursing

    My first day was really similar, as far as the hesitation and fear. We were paired up that first week though and luckily the other student had taken CNA courses already so she just dove in and I...

  20. Scared so very scared

    missjennmb replied to PoetryInMotion's topic in General Students

    I was scared when I started also. Not sure if it was the right field for me, or if I would like it, and not sure I would cut it. The first day of clinicals, I met the most wonderful old lady who...

  21. Clinical scrubs

    missjennmb replied to notthereyet0's topic in General Students

    We had no option to chose our items and ours came wrong as well. I ended up buying an additional top in a different size (but same exact item #). I also ordered another top from that same company...

  22. I have relatives that always put me down

    missjennmb replied to LulaNurse's topic in General Students

    Think of it this way. Nursing school is the hardest thing you may ever do. Thousands of people fail out of nursing school every year. At my school, the previous year's class ended with less than...

  23. my husband....the jerk......sorry this is a rant :)

    missjennmb replied to HeatherTN's topic in General Students

    I'm so sorry that you are going through this. IMO, if your house is abuse-free and you feel your kids will be ok with it, I would just stay and focus on whats important... school and the kids. Don't...

  24. Absolutely the most entertaining birth plan I have ever read....

    missjennmb replied to Mermaid4's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thanks, I did. :icon_roll Its sad when, in order to strive for a natural birth, a woman has to avoid a hospital all together. 1 baby born in the hospital via unnecessary scheduled cesarean 14 years...

  25. Mom of a 7 year old starting last semester....feel like a bad mother

    missjennmb replied to brandyberry1973's topic in General Students

    Just wanted to chime in to agree with the pp's. I have 3 kids, 1 yr, 3 yrs, and 14 yrs. They ALL started having issues from my not being around enough during my past semester. The baby wouldn't...
