  1. Ok, I know I can't be alone... who loves NS?

    Nepenthe Sea replied to jrsmrs's topic in General Students

    ME! It's kind of like my kids...a PITA at times, but still love

  2. School pin...oops!

    Nepenthe Sea replied to greenfaery's topic in General Students

    You might try a uniform shop, either in your town or online. I'm sure they might have something that would work. Better than nada,

  3. What inspired you to become a nurse?

    Nepenthe Sea replied to NurseNinaFla's topic in General Nursing

    I have always had a major medical curiosity, but never wanted to be a nurse or a doctor. My grandpa was a medical lab tech, I took his tapeworm specimen to show-and-tell at school in the first grade...

  4. How Hard is Nursing School?

    Nepenthe Sea replied to MiahMSN's topic in General Students

    I am surprised that you aren't the least bit interested in micro, but that you love A&P. I loved ALL of those classes! I especially loved in micro when we learned about the different infectious...

  5. Research Project - Non-Traditional Students

    Nepenthe Sea replied to KentuckyRN2Be's topic in General Students

    I am 35, a single mother, in college for the second time. You can PM me,

  6. Current students or grads - How's your progress in Nursing school?

    Nepenthe Sea replied to healthcare4life's topic in General Students

    I am currently in the third semester of a five-semester ADN program. In my pre-reqs, I earned a 4.0, and fully expected to lose that upon entrance to NS. The first semester, I still retained my 4.0,...

  7. Hopelessness r/t nursing school

    Nepenthe Sea replied to jennifer7010's topic in General Students

    I took A&P I, micro, nutrition and one other class together right before I started nursing school, even though I was advised not to do it. I am so glad now that I did because I got used to having...

  8. Sick of RNs not believing patients about pain

    Nepenthe Sea replied to Rylee2008's topic in General Students

    We studied pain management last semester and I was surprised how much our instructor emphasized the need to give pts. their pain meds when they say they need them. Our text says that there is a very...

  9. Books to Study Before My Course

    Nepenthe Sea replied to studentdan's topic in General Students

    I recommend maybe getting a medical terminology book to begin with. It will help you get used to the words and abbreviations used. If you haven't had A&P yet, it might not hurt to get A&P Made...

  10. Trangendered MtF Nursung student

    Nepenthe Sea replied to Kareal's topic in General Students

    I don't think that seem like alot of money, considering the end result. I have to tell you, I have alot empathy for TG folk. I feel very "girlie", and have often wondered what it would be like to...

    Nepenthe Sea replied to Kareal's topic in General Students

  12. Trangendered MtF Nursung student

    Nepenthe Sea replied to Kareal's topic in General Students

    Hi, I have known one MtF transgender person that was going to school when I met her. We lived in a VERY conservative area, but she has since gone on to San Francisco, where I'm sure she is much more...

  13. tired of hearing it, nursing students PLEASE answer

    Nepenthe Sea replied to ChervRN's topic in General Students

    I don't have time to read through all of these, so hopefully I won't repeat too much of the same. The thing is that NS is COMPLETELY different than any other major you have probably had, if you have...

  14. i feels awkward!

    Nepenthe Sea replied to sophie<3's topic in General Students

    It IS awkward, and you may feel that way for a little while. It does get better, though, so just keep at it. Our first week of clinicals, I was talking to a CNA on the floor and she asked how far...

  15. Honor Societies for Students

    Nepenthe Sea replied to jbjints's topic in General Students

    I am so sorry! I was just in a hurry to reply and din't bother looking

  16. Honor Societies for Students

    Nepenthe Sea replied to jbjints's topic in General Students

    I thought that may be what she was talking about, but since she only mentioned her GPA and not her class rank, I thought it was possible that she thought she had to have a higher GPA. But yes, that...

  17. Preparation advice for Nursing School

    Nepenthe Sea replied to sphinx6's topic in General Students

    I second the posters who said to get a med-surg book and read it. Even Med Surg made Incredibly Easy would be good. Before I started nursing school, I bought A&P For Dummies, Microbiology...

  18. Honor Societies for Students

    Nepenthe Sea replied to jbjints's topic in General Students

    Undergraduate Student - Junior or senior students enrolled in baccalaureate programs at accredited institutions of higher education who have completed at least 1/2 of the nursing curriculum, rank in...

  19. You know you're in nursing school when....

    Nepenthe Sea replied to Valasca's topic in General Students

    ...when you set THREE alarm clocks for the morning that you have to get up at 4:00 A.M. for clinicals. ....you put yourself to sleep at night by going over the steps for I.V. insertion, physical...

    You're absolutely

  21. Had the WORST shadow experience, am shaking

    Nepenthe Sea replied to greenykilt's topic in General Students

    Good post. I just live in a very conservative area, and I don't know if we could get fired for standing up to the almighty M.D. I agree that there are some things we just have to take, if a patient is...

  22. Had the WORST shadow experience, am shaking

    Nepenthe Sea replied to greenykilt's topic in General Students

    I sure hope I get to work for someone like you someday! It's hard to feel like you can stand up to abuse if you're not being backed up and have to worry about getting

  23. Why is it so easy to get an LPN or ADN so easily riled up?

    Nepenthe Sea replied to Katie5's topic in General Nursing

    I haven't had to deal with this too much yet, because where I live, our ADN program is seen as better than the BSN program, (I know it's not like that everywhere, though). But I do get frustrated that...

  24. Obnoxious classmates that turn into great nurses

    Nepenthe Sea replied to newtress's topic in General Nursing

    I could have written this post, except for all the stuff post-graduation (not there yet). I feel like I'm fairly obnoxious, although I try not to be. This semester, I am learning that silence is...

  25. Is anyone here loving nursing school?

    Nepenthe Sea replied to Jewl's topic in General Students

    I am one that loves it. I love the material, I love learning skills. I even like studying, although sometimes the amount I have to study drives me nuts. I love figuring out WHY a disease does what it...
