  1. Passing out in the OR

    Panthyr replied to Carrie_MTC's topic in General Students

    I got that hot, buzzy, spots feeling once when I was younger. I was working in a vet's office and the doctor was doing a routine examination of a pomeranian's knee. I mean, seriously. It was a normal...

  2. Gloucester County College Nursing HESI exam question

    Panthyr replied to marygkk's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    That's a great score! I think you have a good shot too. :-) As for information sessions, mine was packed too... made me sick to my stomach to see all the people who were applying in just *one* info...

  3. Micro with NS classes

    Panthyr replied to ShortStackRN's topic in General Students

    I took it in my first semester, with Fundamentals of Nursing. It was a lot of work, but I got through it... ugh, sorry to hear you're going through this. Need a cheerleader? Youcandoit! Youcandoit!...

  4. My first day at clinical! (A longish tale)

    Panthyr replied to flyingchange's topic in General Students

    this made me laugh so hard, because i swear, i felt like that most of my clinical days in my first semester. (and i will probably feel like this for awhile yet!) it's rather like when i was first...

  5. Gloucester County College Nursing HESI exam question

    Panthyr replied to marygkk's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    It's funny Atomicwoman should mention sparknotes, because I used the sparknotes Bio and Chemistry review guides that I picked up from Barnes and Noble, to get ready for it too. And A&P review on...

  6. Gloucester County College Nursing HESI exam question

    Panthyr replied to marygkk's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    Thanks! I didn't really do too much different the second time around as far as math and reading went. However, knowing what they were looking for on the Biology and Chemistry helped. I did review a...

  7. Gloucester County College Nursing HESI exam question

    Panthyr replied to marygkk's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    I got a 92% and made it in, but I know people who are also part of the program and got 79% or so. 81% definitely has a shot, but the HESI isn't the only part of the equation. All the people I've...

  8. Am I too old to just be starting?

    Panthyr replied to Roxy0628's topic in General Students

    I started when I was 27 as well and I will be 30 when I graduate next May.... I wouldn't say I was too old, I'm actually one of the younger minority in my class.

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

    Panthyr replied to Multicollinearity's topic in General Students

    A hot tub...

  10. Is this a Good Stethoscope??

    Panthyr replied to Sl1011's topic in General Students

    I received one as a gift as well. I have also used the Littman Lightweight, and I must say that I feel the cardiology is well worth the extra money. I can hear everything! I would never trade... but...

  11. What can I expect in Maternal/Peds & Adult Nursing next semester?

    Panthyr replied to 2bnurselove08's topic in General Students

    Me too. My next semester is Peds, OB and Med Surg. I would love to know what to expect from OB, it makes me the most

  12. Atheists? How do you deal with religious people?

    Panthyr replied to CalicoKitty's topic in General Students

    A moment of silence isn't a prayer, but you can share it with someone who asks you to pray with them. Simply sitting there, quietly, next to them as they pray can comfort them in an important way. As...

  13. What FUNNY but IMPORTANT things did you learn this semester in nursing school?

    Panthyr replied to AZO49008's topic in General Students

    I don't have much to offer, but... :chuckle "How does this member-detachment make you feel?" Thanks for making my whole day...

  14. Lasik Eye Surgery: Whats Everyones Opinion?

    Panthyr replied to whiteoleander5's topic in General Students

    I had Lasik a year ago and I had no complications, and haven't worn glasses since. Believe it or not, my night vision actually increased, as I was very night blind before and now I can see fine....

  15. Taking science classes while nursing school?

    Panthyr replied to seek1kees's topic in General Students

    It's true, but it's not necessarily impossible to protect your GPA and take a science course in addition to nursing. In fact, I guess I broke all of these guidelines since I'm taking my science course...

  16. Taking science classes while nursing school?

    Panthyr replied to seek1kees's topic in General Students

    I'm taking a 4 credit science course with my 10 hours of nursing courses even as we speak. I have not had much trouble with it, as long as I keep up on the assignments and studying required. I always...

  17. Finals are coming!

    Panthyr replied to krenee's topic in General Students

    Taking my last Fundamentals test tomorrow, and our final is next Tuesday. I will be studying my butt off with the rest of you! The final is worth about 30% of our final grade, which is slightly better...

  18. Gloucester County College Students Sound Off!

    Panthyr replied to Crimsonking's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    I'm a first semester nursing student. So far the material doesn't seem too hard, but I'm having trouble figuring out exactly what they want as far as assessments on the care plans goes. I think I'm...

  19. Poked myself with a syringe

    Panthyr replied to Dakeirus's topic in General Students

    You have to recap after drawing the medicine up in the med room to take it to the patient's bedside, otherwise you're walking around the halls with an open needle! Eep! After actually administering...

  20. Goals for student externship

    Panthyr replied to pinkiepie_RN's topic in General Students

    Ilg, do you have any recommendations of a place we could go to learn about "a day in the unit" for different departments? It's hard to get an outsider-looking-in idea of each unit until you've been...

  21. Anyone live in South Jersey but commute to NYC?

    Panthyr replied to Turtle08's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    My husband commutes from Mount Laurel, on the Greyhound Bus Line every day. He used to take the train out of Hamilton station, but it was a long drive and was putting too much wear and tear on his...

  22. Does anyone have experience with AP or CLEP exams?

    Panthyr replied to calibound08's topic in General Students

    That's true, but the actual grades affect your GPA, which can have a negative effect on acceptance to certain schools and programs, depending on one's personal education plan.

  23. Does anyone have experience with AP or CLEP exams?

    Panthyr replied to calibound08's topic in General Students

    I wanted to CLEP some of the courses I had already had when I began my degree, and my college only allows you to get a "C" grade via the test, no matter how well you do on it. They told me that even...

  24. Anatomy/physiology refresher course

    Panthyr replied to am22's topic in General Students

    Those things aren't things that are covered in Anatomy and Physiology, just things that you might want to learn out of a book before the program starts, 2b.
