  1. my first poop/ nasty experience... just wanna share

    Nepenthe Sea replied to 9livesRN's topic in General Students

    Yeah...enquiring minds want to

  2. Passing out in the OR

    Nepenthe Sea replied to Carrie_MTC's topic in General Students

    I can't believe he told you to find another career! My sister used to go to school to be a surgical tech, and she passed out once, and said that EVERYBODY does it at some point. I think he was just...

  3. Things you would love to say to your fellow nursing students!

    Nepenthe Sea replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    I just started nursing school in January,and I already have something to say to someone. 1. Pay attention in class, and then you won't miss the professor saying that we are meeting in another building...

  4. Scared to death of doing a foley insertion.

    Nepenthe Sea replied to Koyaanisqatsi-RN's topic in General Students

    This is what I was going to suggest. I watched some of those videos before I even got into nursing school, because I was intimidated by the thought of doing one, too. Here in a couple of weeks I am...

  5. Dating while in NS?

    Nepenthe Sea replied to ErinJane's topic in General Students

    It sucks, doesn't it? I have been with my boyfriend for a little over one year, and we see each other once a week, generally. I told my mom that if he and I break up, I'm not dating until I...

  6. Going to the Gym

    Nepenthe Sea replied to medgirlRN's topic in General Students

    Well, I didn't go to the gym the first week of school because I was still recovering from a resp. infection and didn't want to overdo it, but I went ahead and paid for my membership so that I would be...

  7. Little things that keep you motivated

    Nepenthe Sea replied to tfleuter's topic in General Students

    For the OP... before I got into nursing school, I would pass the hospital where my girls were born and spent 5 weeks in NICU, and would think "I'll be back there someday", kind of like you. My girls'...

  8. First day of nursing School *unleashed* post yours

    Nepenthe Sea replied to 9livesRN's topic in General Students

    Last Tuesday was the first day of Nursing Skills I. We just went over the syllabus and talked a little about the program. Nothing major. We would have had Intro to Nursing the day before had it not...

  9. What the heck do these people think?

    Nepenthe Sea replied to imn2nursin's topic in General Students

    I don't know why, but around here, everybody seems to know it's really tough. Every time I tell someone I'm in nursing school, they're like, "Wow, that's a hard program", and they're always very...

  10. IPod and lecture question

    Nepenthe Sea posted a topic in General Students

    Hey, I just got an IPod classic for Christmas and am looking forward to using it for all kinds of stuff. I was wondering though - how do you get your recorded lectures onto your IPod? I have a...

  11. IPod and lecture question

    Nepenthe Sea replied to Nepenthe Sea's topic in General Students

    Thanks, I will look into the recorder. I tried to put the lectures from my recorder on the IPod and failed miserably. My sister is good at stuff like that and she couldn't figure it out either. I...

  12. Would you want a classmate to be your nurse?

    Nepenthe Sea replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Students

    We're just starting nursing school today, and I already know of 2 that I would run screaming from should I encounter them in the hospital! My friend, who is starting school with me, and I had these...

  13. First day tomorrow - nervous wreck

    Nepenthe Sea replied to momof2students's topic in General Students

    Tommorrow is my first day, also. I am nervous, but REALLY excited, too. I'm so glad I don't start clinicals until NEXT semester, or I'd really be nervous. Good luck to you! Everything will work...

  14. Going to the Gym

    Nepenthe Sea replied to medgirlRN's topic in General Students

    Okay, y'all have inspired me! I have been looking at the info on our school gym, which I have never used before. I have at least one chunk of time during each day between classes where I can go to...

  15. Going to the Gym

    Nepenthe Sea replied to medgirlRN's topic in General Students

    If you join the student nurses association at my school, you get a discount on the membership at one of our local gyms. I think that's cool, but can't afford ANY membership at this time. And they've...

  16. So excited...and yet so scared!

    Nepenthe Sea posted a topic in General Students

    Tommorrow is the start of a two-day Nursing Success "Boot Camp". I didn't even find out until the last minute if I was going to be able to go or not (long story I posted about in the Pre-Nursing...

  17. So excited...and yet so scared!

    Nepenthe Sea replied to Nepenthe Sea's topic in General Students

    Thanks for all your encouragement :heartbeat! The last two days have been cool. We met some of the faculty, talked about critical thinking skills, different learning styles, how to study NCLEX-style...

  18. Losing my mind...

    Nepenthe Sea posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm just now getting around to complaining about this...I haven't even wanted to discuss it at all. I was accepted into the ADN RN program at my local cc. I worked very hard to get in: earned a 4.0,...

  19. Losing my mind...

    Nepenthe Sea replied to Nepenthe Sea's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I did get into my A&P class, Loner. And I'm sure it will be a mixed blessing :chuckle.

  20. Losing my mind...

    Nepenthe Sea replied to Nepenthe Sea's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    LOL!! So

  21. Losing my mind...

    Nepenthe Sea replied to Nepenthe Sea's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I looked at the school website at about 4:00 PM today, and they had me registered for my nursing classes! YEAH!! Of course, I have called them so much lately that I am probably on some unofficial...

  22. Losing my mind...

    Nepenthe Sea replied to Nepenthe Sea's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    OMG...I called the school at 10:30 AM, and they still didn't have my approval. Just now, my friend who has a DRUG POSSESSION charge in her background has received her acceptance and has been...

  23. Losing my mind...

    Nepenthe Sea replied to Nepenthe Sea's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes, I think that is what is happening, too - they will check out everybody and then hand over the decisions at the same time. I know that this doesn't mean "no chance", and on one level, I think...

  24. A&P II Spring 2009, anyone?

    Nepenthe Sea replied to Nepenthe Sea's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    i had different professors for the lecture and lab in a&p i, too. it can be confusing! they would tell us completely different things

  25. Really Good Books for the Obsessed

    Nepenthe Sea replied to jaywolves's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That book is written by the same author of "The Woman with the Worm in Her Brain". I tried to find it a few weeks ago, and somebody already bought it! Can't wait to read it,
