1. funny charting errors

   ~cxJvak replied to hello_nurse_mel's topic in Humor

   Oh gosh, mine's not nearly as funny. Patient was delivered healthy, vaginally, and full-term by c-section two weeks early. So what is it?

2. Who pins you at your pinning ceremony?

   ~cxJvak replied to kaybrn's topic in General Students

   At our school its the junior class that pins the seniors. Well, volunteers from the Student Nurse Organization that are members of the junior class... I think it would be more special if you had someone you chose pin you, but I can see how having an ...

3. Things you would LOVE to say to your nursing instructors...

   ~cxJvak replied to Montessori Mommy's topic in General Students

   Oh my, yes. There are several things you all have mentioned that I would again gladly repeat. Mostly, What were you thinking?! and Thanks. In that order. One of the best discussions we had a clinical was waiting time at post-conference. Our instruc...

4. what u wished u knew b4 NS

   ~cxJvak replied to coltsgrl's topic in General Students

   True. I also wish I had known how to juggle, translate hieroglyphics, use my feet like hands, and read with my eyes closed. Those might have come in handy. ~cxJvak

5. Who is at fault here?

   ~cxJvak replied to ~cxJvak's topic in General Students

   Oh, sorry for the confusion. We graduate Spring 09. We started nursing classes Summer 07. We were told about the paper in Spring 07. It was due April 2008. That's how backwards this is.

6. Making Sure to ACE Nursing I

   ~cxJvak replied to mrandmrsRN's topic in General Students

   Congrats, we just had a married couple accepted to our program. I think it's a clever way to get through! I would review anatomy because you already know it and basic stuff always helps. Med terms, or simply latin prefixes are great as well. Don't do...

7. Who is at fault here?

   ~cxJvak posted a topic in General Students

   We have a lot of issues come up in our program. Lucky me, I'm the class representative. Here's the latest. Yesterday we all received an email telling us that we should have turned in a paper on April 1st, but we were allowed to electronically submit ...

8. Does your school say you to pass the HESI to get your degree?

   ~cxJvak replied to KBoo's topic in General Students

   At Missouri State we have to take a few HESI tests every semester (Fundamentals, Pharmacology, Med-Surg, Mental Health, Peds/Maternity, and Management) scoring at least an 800 on each. If we fail the first time we pay a fine, have a letter placed in ...

9. You know you are in nursing school when ctxt

   ~cxJvak replied to tnstudentnurse's topic in General Students

   I got one! You solve the "House" episode before the first commercial.

10. You know you are in nursing school when ctxt

    ~cxJvak replied to tnstudentnurse's topic in General Students

    That's the funniest thing I've heard all day! Can I use that as a facebook quote?

11. GOOD things that have happened in nursing school!

    ~cxJvak replied to Kiringat's topic in General Students

    I've got such a great set of students to be with through nursing school. Every day I see them is a great day. If one of us is even close to being late for class at least five cell phones are pulled out to see if you overslept, got in an accident, or ...

12. How to tell a fellow student to...?

    ~cxJvak replied to Apollorn's topic in General Students

    It seems worth fighting to me, these are very unprofessional behaviors, but it is your instructor's position to deal with her (mostly.) You might want to advice her that she's not coming across well when she interrupts lecture and that patients might...

13. Too little effort?

    ~cxJvak replied to brittney140's topic in General Students

    I found that it wasn't exaggerated, but that's only because there wasn't enough time from 8-3 to see all the skills. Most of them we learned on our own, even being there until 9 most people only got to try things once. We all had to perform each skil...

14. Too little effort?

    ~cxJvak replied to brittney140's topic in General Students

    That is the truth, no way around it. I don't think I even opened my book first semester and second semester I didn't have time to open my book! I wonder what it is, we all thought it was just our program. Luckily, after a while you get used to it and...

    ~cxJvak replied to janina08RN's topic in NCLEX

    Anyone else heard of Audio Adrenaline's "The Good Life"? I've watched my dreams all fade away And blister in the sun Everything Ive ever had is unraveled and undone Ive set upon a worthless stack Of my ambitious plans And the people that Ive loved th...
