  1. Going on to second semester with smaller class

    I ditto that. Everyone in my school is practically like family! In fact, I see my classmates more than my family these days... It doesn't make sense to hate each other when you could help one another...
  2. Going on to second semester with smaller class

    We started with 110 and now we are down to less than 70 students from the original group. Who knows how many will drop out after finals this upcoming week. We start our last semester in
  3. OMG!!! we had our orientation day!!! it was awesome!!!

    At least you came out of orientation so excited and on fire for learning. I remember feeling freaking terrified after my orientation. lol. Seriously, though, don't ever lose that passion. Nursing...
  4. "I am not hating anyone, but I honestly would not someone to take care of me that failed to attend lecture" Going to lecture does not necessarily equate being a good nurse, particularly if anyone...
  5. Feel Like I Can't Stop

    I'm jealous -- not done until next Thursday! :-( But then only one more semester! I can't believe the end is almost
  6. Spring 2009 Graduating Class

    Thank you so much! I can hardly wait. It is pediatrics and leadership for us next semester. I've heard through the grapevine those are hard classes, but I always prefer to think that hundreds upon...
  7. Students: Prefer morning or evening clinicals?

    Having done both, I much prefer evening clinical. I've always been a night owl, and it was always really hard for me to wake up so early and function. I had to wake up at 3:30 or 4:00 AM in order to...
  8. Nursing Students Treated Like 3rd Graders

    Yeah, we aren't allowed to have anything on the tables either. No water bottles, no keys, no tissues, no anything. And this year the teachers made a new rule: we aren't allowed to bring in our own...
  9. what will you be doing over the break?

    I'm baking pies tonight (cherry and pumpkin!) and tomorrow I am going to celebrating thanksgiving with my parents and my sister and her husband. We are planning on playing scrabble and listening to...
  10. I know you are just venting and all that, and every circumstance is different, but it's really starting to bug me how everyone seems to think that just because someone did not pass, it obviously...
  11. How do YOU decompress?

    I take bubble baths. I've always loved them from the time I was a little girl. (heck, I even study in the tub sometimes.) So relaxing! Or I play with my 3 dogs in the backyard, and say hello to our...
  12. Passed fourth finals!!

    Huzzah! I can't wait until it's my turn in
  13. Things you would LOVE to say to your nursing instructors...

    Oh, ok, I understand a little better. And I do know where you are coming from -- hey, I want to be a nurse practitioner and go to a flight nursing academy. Definitely a lot different than a med surg...
  14. Things you would LOVE to say to your nursing instructors...

    Funny, because I was of the assumption that most nurses were Registered Nurses. The BSN just means you happen to have a bachelors degree, as opposed to having an ADN degree. We all take the same...
  15. please answer this question about traction!

    I was told to never, ever, ever remove the weights unless the doctor ordered them to be taken
  16. A & P compared to med surge

    Two words: NCLEX
  17. Just Opened Acceptance Letter! I'm In!

    Congratulations! I remember getting my letter. Greatest feeling in the world!
  18. How far do you drive to nursing school?

    I live 54 miles from school. It usually takes about an hour to get to school, depending on traffic and construction, so I usually leave about an hour and 15 minutes before class to be on the safe...
  19. Poked myself with a syringe

    That's not an essay. That's a book, in my
  20. How quickly we forget

    Today as I was sitting in the hallway during our lunch break, cramming for my med surg test that was going to be taking place in less than 30 minutes, I could not help but overhearing the...
  21. How quickly we forget

    Thanks for all the replies, everyone. I didn't know so many people felt the same way I do. It's a good reminder for us all, I guess. :-) PM me sometime with your questions and I'll try to answer...
  22. Disgusted With School

    Oooh, I get it. You guys just include all your information in one packet. We do all of that (assessments, drugs, history, careplans, etc.) but they are all considered separate items, albeit due at the...
  23. Happy--no more 4 AMs!

    I am officially done with med surg clinicals, and that means no more waking up at ungodly hours. The rest of the semester I am going to be doing evening psych clinicals, from 4 PM-10PM. You have no...
  24. HIPAA violation?

    We were never allowed to bring anything home with us either. Anything copied from the chart went straight into the shredder before leaving. And when we had to turn in our 13 page assessments to the...
  25. How quickly we forget

    Thanks for actually reading the whole thing. I didn't mean for it to be that long. I was just typing whatever came to my head, not even bothering to check spelling or grammar. I took your advice, I...
