  1. My First Clinical Deficiency (Long)

    *LadyJane* replied to WeirdNurseKelly's topic in General Students

    You did a good job, you just stumbled in one spot. Okay? Good all day, missed one (important) spot, but really. Don't beat yourself up about this. Just think, how could you have planned your day...

  2. Evolve/Hesi Tests and just general very new student

    *LadyJane* replied to jlynn2303's topic in General Students

    I just had my first year HESI this week and passed it with plenty of room to spare. I didn't really study specifically for the test, but I did buy the HESI prep book, and use that to make sure that I...

  3. Every Nurse Should Give Birth

    *LadyJane* replied to Vito Andolini's topic in General Nursing

    I am ready, willing and able to deliver pain meds to people in pain. I've been there, done that, and I understand how it feels to feel like you have a shark biting you in the stomach, and there isn't...

  4. Challenges in the Nursing Profession

    *LadyJane* replied to laurenlynne's topic in General Nursing

    LOL. Sounds like an essay question to go along with a nursing school application. Am I

  5. What I learned my first year as a nurse. (Things they don't teach in nursing school.)

    *LadyJane* replied to 3sodapop's topic in General Students

    To be an excellent nurse, you need the heart as well as the

  6. How My Instructor Affected My Life

    *LadyJane* replied to raebabelvn's topic in General Students

    Sorry to say this, but your teacher was psycho. This kind of crap treatment is soooo last century and serves to breed more nurses-who-eat-their-young.

  7. Dead Babies...To Get It Off My Chest

    *LadyJane* replied to caddismt's topic in General Nursing

    Oh ugh. I am so sorry you (or anyone, really) had to go through this. How

  8. Am I paranoid; or do all my clinical instructors dislike me?

    *LadyJane* replied to cincin1's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, tone down the loud laugh. You might be having a great time on your clinicals, but it's likely that someone nearby in a hospital bed is suffering. You might be perceived as inconsiderate to...

  9. Can't get these knots outta my neck

    *LadyJane* replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    I never had this trouble until I started spending the kind of time reading like I do now. I tried an ergonomic book holder (made just for holding big heavy books like nursing books) and I can read...

  10. HELP! Will this school be ok??

    *LadyJane* replied to hope2rn's topic in General Nursing

    You might do well to learn about the HESI test and the whole idea of nursing schools and their "100% pass rates". At most nursing schools these days, the school teaches the students for the years...

  11. Green Christmas-Full Cemetary??

    *LadyJane* replied to racing-mom4's topic in General Nursing

    I wonder if the snow tends to isolate people during Dec. and so isolate sick people and keep viruses from spreading, and green christmas equals people being out and about and spreading viruses

  12. Would you have said something?

    *LadyJane* replied to NewWayofLife's topic in General Nursing

    BFF = best female friend, or for us older gals, what was always known as "best

  13. Repeating Courses

    *LadyJane* replied to dipsett08's topic in General Nursing

    Check with the advisor at the university, s/he might be able to help you strategize the best for your application. I know some schools have a "forgiveness provision" where if you've had a...

  14. potter & perry

    *LadyJane* replied to POMD09's topic in General Nursing

    What you need to look for is a silver colored scratch off patch somewhere inside the front cover or first page of your book. Scratch that off, and that is the number that you use to register to use...

  15. Do nurses talk about their patients when the leave

    *LadyJane* replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in General Nursing

    My stomach looks like Freddy Krueger tore it up, too. But, you know something? It feels so much better now than when it looked pretty. Know what I learned from that experience? That it's much more...

  16. update on kizzykat

    *LadyJane* replied to ohmeowzer RN's topic in General Nursing

    So glad to hear about Kizzy. More prayers for both of you on the way. Also, your vet sounds like a true gem and a sweetheart. Blessings on him for his kind heart.

  17. Digital Recorder

    *LadyJane* replied to checkmate's topic in General Students

    I really like being able to listen to the lecture again while doing something brainless around the house that must be done, like cooking, cleaning, laundry, or exercising. I use an Olympus DVR, I...

  18. International Nurses in the USA

    *LadyJane* replied to RITYLISHKA's topic in General Nursing

    Please try to be much more patient with yourself! English is a difficult language to learn because it is a language that absorbs lots of words from other languages, so there is no set rule that...

  19. what makes nursing school so hard?

    *LadyJane* replied to kgheen09's topic in General Nursing

    It's just the volume of work and the volume of reading, viewing videos and hours of clinicals and lab work that is very time consuming. Most places I investigated before I settled on the school I...

  20. Digital Voice Recorders... again!

    *LadyJane* replied to crok9014's topic in General Students

    Hi RNin2011 and all, You don't have to buy a Mac to use that software. You can buy a PC and the software called "Microsoft One Note". It's the same thing, and records the same, etc. I use mine to...

  21. what is your preferred shift?

    *LadyJane* replied to ajaxgirl's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I guess I am the clone of Nurse Clown. Eves all the way, I'd prefer 3-11, but if Ihad to do twelves, it would be 7pm to 7am. I am sharp anytime but early AM. For me getting up early,...

  22. Calling all compassionate nurses... teach me

    *LadyJane* replied to don_ia18's topic in General Nursing

    Just because one patient tells you that doesn't mean it's necessarily true. Would you believe something because of what one person said one time? NO! Check into this further. Look at motives, and...

  23. Death bed visions

    *LadyJane* replied to legend0710's topic in General Nursing

    Just bumping a great thread... thanks to the OP for starting this...

  24. ob-gyne wards...

    *LadyJane* replied to pauiee_d.'s topic in General Nursing

    Actually it's not ridiculous. Many patients have a long, long relationship with one doctor/surgeon. That's a big difference between a relationship with someone for an eight hour

  25. Help will I ever get well!!!

    *LadyJane* replied to nebrgirl's topic in General Nursing

    LOL, Yes, have had a little bit of this, but those thoughts are usually pushed away when I think of all the reading/studying I need to get done before (insert any deadline here). This is normal to...
