  1. Nursing student and over weight

    180Chick replied to intensity_too's topic in General Students

    I have the same problem. I try to lose weight, but absolutely nothing happens. Last semester, I started counting calories AND exercising. I would exercise about 45 minutes a day, at least 3 - 4 times...

  2. What color scrubs does your school make you wear for clinicals??

    180Chick replied to intensity_too's topic in General Students

    Oh, man. That sounds like something I would do. I am so accident prone. My first actual clinical week is the week of October 20th, so we'll see what happens that day. I am going to be covering myself...

  3. Nursing student and over weight

    180Chick replied to intensity_too's topic in General Students

    You're welcome! :) I am also an EMT, but I'm not currently working at it, due to the stress of taking a full load in Nursing school. I'm maxed out on credit hours. It is *essential* to lift patients...

  4. Nursing student and over weight

    180Chick replied to intensity_too's topic in General Students

    Oh, wow. I am sorry to hear about your back. I hope you start feeling better!!

  5. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Nursing Math

    180Chick replied to stuffbubby541's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    This seems like a good way to do it, and if it works for you, that's all that matters! :) My brain functions on formulas. I LOVE formulas. I don't know why, lol. That's why I really liked the Henke's...

  6. Experience before CRNA School

    180Chick replied to jfk6668's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Great thread! I too have some questions for the CRNAs on the site. I want to get finished with the CRNA as soon as possible, but I want to be well prepared before entering. The university I attend...

  7. Nursing student and over weight

    180Chick replied to intensity_too's topic in General Students

    You are both so right! I barely have time to breathe, let alone worry myself about exercising. I am taking a full load (which at my school is 17 hours). I have Anatomy with that as well. It seems...

  8. Nursing student and over weight

    180Chick replied to intensity_too's topic in General Students

    Thank you very much! :) I think it's kinda ridiculous, b/c our instructor is very overweight. How weird is that? And the medical students take the elevators when they want. What's wrong with the...

  9. Nursing student and over weight

    180Chick replied to intensity_too's topic in General Students

    I too am a nursing student that is overweight. I'm 5'5" and 184, but I'm really huge up top. So my scrub pants are like a medium, and my scrub top is an XL. It makes me look really awkward. I've...

  10. What wakes you up in the morning?

    180Chick replied to redtshirt's topic in General Students

    LOL Oh, ok. I know that I definitely want someone who -kids- about being a drug addict/alcoholic taking care of my family. I'm sure your instructor would think it is hilarious, too! LOL [Not the...

  11. Is Chem really a necessary prereq for Anatomy?

    180Chick replied to wannabmidwife's topic in General Students

    Well, when I took Physiology before Anatomy, I already had a very basic understanding of the body, because I'm an EMT. I made an A in Physiology, and it seems like I'm doing even better this semester...

  12. Is Chem really a necessary prereq for Anatomy?

    180Chick replied to wannabmidwife's topic in General Students

    Wow. That's amazing to me that some have to take Chem before they can take A & P. My school doesn't require that, thank goodness. That would be just one extra class on top of the load I already...

  13. What wakes you up in the morning?

    180Chick replied to redtshirt's topic in General Students

    Dude, are you serious?!?! Whether you're serious OR just kidding, you need kicked out either way. Seriously. That's not funny. Anyway, what usually wakes me up actually IS a really annoying alarm on...

  14. What color scrubs does your school make you wear for clinicals??

    180Chick replied to intensity_too's topic in General Students

    Oh goodness! ALL brown?! That IS awful. I feel much better about white now!

  15. Why do you love being a pediatric nurse?

    180Chick replied to lolale's topic in Pediatric

    Thanks for the great advice! I live in a very small, rural area in Tennessee. There is only one local hospital here, and it is very small. To work in a children's hospital or university hospital, I...

  16. What color scrubs does your school make you wear for clinicals??

    180Chick replied to intensity_too's topic in General Students

    White scrub top with navy embroidering on the left upper chest to say LMU (our school's initials). White scrub pants, white plain shoes, navy lab jacket white white embroidering on left upper chest...

  17. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Nursing Math

    180Chick replied to stuffbubby541's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Hey guys! I just wanted to say that Henke's Med-Math (the new edition - I think it's the 5th) helped me so much! We take 3 dosage quizzes, and I made a 100% on all 3 of them. That book is AMAZING. It...

  18. Why do you love being a pediatric nurse?

    180Chick replied to lolale's topic in Pediatric

    Ah, that's an excellent idea to get around that clause. Then you could work pediatrics, plus work in the ICU. You could still get the requirement for the MSN program, but still work with kids. That's...

  19. Why do you love being a pediatric nurse?

    180Chick replied to lolale's topic in Pediatric

    I know that, and I know the seriousness of it. It's just that for the MSN program to become a CRNA, they want ICU work (for some reason). I think it is a little odd as well. I spoke with my advisors...

  20. Why do you love being a pediatric nurse?

    180Chick replied to lolale's topic in Pediatric

    I'm a nursing student, and I will hopefully become an RN by May '10. It's my first semester in this rigorous program! But I know I can do it! Anyway, my university just started the Anesthesia...

  21. Is anyone starting NS at LMU in Knoxville??

    180Chick replied to ~FutureNurse~'s topic in Tennessee Nursing

    Awesome! There are some people on here that go to LMU, lol. I go to the Harrogate branch, and I am liking it pretty well. I am starting nursing school in August. Is anyone else studying their Henke's...

  22. Just got my Littmann Master Cardiology Stethoscope..

    180Chick replied to Scrubz's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I am starting the BSN program in August, so I bought myself a little present for making the Dean's List and getting in so quickly. I bought a Master Cardiology (Black Ed.), and I LOVE it. I am wanting...
