Please help! Im a first semester nursing student and have a terrible case of the splotches all along my neck during clinical. I know its my anxiety and Ive had it all my adult life. Its just very embarrassing when I step into a pts room, explain to the patient that Im a student nurse but reassure them that I will give them the best care possible when I have a heat rash on my neck! Any tips on how to deal with this? Thanks!

Oh ok... Basically Im heading into my first semester of Nursing School and just want to get an idea of what im going to learning. Thanks!

Any insight on what to expect in NU101? What sort of skills will we be taught, topics that are covered, etc? What were the best parts from NU101 that you can recall? And obviously the worse Thanks B

Im in the same boat. I took out a private loan through the Student Loan Network..Heres the link. I had a hard time at first because my school is a smaller school and was not on many lenders school lists (Sallie Mae, Wachovia). Luckily this company offers private loans for my school... http://www.studentloannetwork.com/private-student-loans/ Good luck!:wink2:

Thank you so much for your response! I really appreciate it! :loveya:

Brainyheart...question for you...I was accepted into the January Slot...evening weekend. During my interview, the counselor went over my schedule and i was so nervous that it kinda flew over my head. Can you give me an idea of what the weeks are like? Basically, am I in clinical Friday Sat and Sun every weekend? Thanks! B:)

I was wondering if anyone can give me insight on what to expect in nursing 101? I'm sure every school is different but to get a feel of what people learn their first semester of nursing school would be so very helpful! Thanks ~B

Honestly, the applicant from overseas most likely got in because she doesnt tie up any financial aid (i.e. Stafford Loans) Now, (especially now!) there is limited capital for student loan companies to shell out and because of that alot of schools (especially the small ones) have to scale back how much aid they distribute to their students. International students pay cash and do not qualify for aid therefore they are an easy in.
