  1. People think you are rich because you are a nurse

    I DO NOT have a cell phone. I do have a land line that costs $9/month. No call waiting, no caller ID, just a land line. I have never texted a day in my life, never even once. Wouldn't know how to...
  2. Any suggestions on getting a head start

    I also left a job in real estate for nursing and just completed my first semester. The only thing that you can do to get ahead is start reading your books for this upcoming semester. You will be...
  3. Is it me? I am already bored....

    It's really strange to not have mental work to do. I've been doing all of my yard/housework stuff but I don't have anything to think/stress about. It has been very weird!! Maybe I should pick up...
  4. People think you are rich because you are a nurse

    I would stop by McDonald's and get an application for each of them and tape the applications to their door and sign Love, Your Name at the bottom. That is a guarantee that they will never talk to you...
  5. general questions i need help with.

    Have you tried to look up some of this information for yourself? You have 4 posts asking for answers to questions, one about a Kardex, which if you google it, will come right up. How are you...
  6. Do you remember???

    I did the same stalking of the mailbox, e-mailing the program coordinator, stalking the mailbox even more. :) Then when I finally got my acceptance letter I did the screaming in shock, crying,...
  7. I don't know what to do with myself.

    Let's see. Today was my first day of summer break and I got my son's fish aquarium put together so we can go get fish this weekend (once I get the water stabilized), I went and had the break pads...
  8. Frustrated and Nervous

    I have this same reaction as well. My BP drops drastically when I get blood drawn and I turn as white as a sheet and start cold-sweating. I don't know why this would hinder your performance in...
  9. When ill equipped students affect your grade...

    The only thing that I have to add to this is be very careful about looking at things like that. If the OP would've taken this person under their wing and couldn't get all of the things they needed...
  10. Are grades in your school shared?

    We don't have a class average posted. Many people talk about their scores with other people, although our class is huge, so it's impossible to know what everyone got. We do have those annoying...
  11. Study groups... To be or not to be?

    I'm with Happy2Learn. I have always found myself pulling other people up and when they still don't do as well as they would've liked, I still get the blame. I don't think that I will belong to...
  12. When ill equipped students affect your grade...

    Ahhhhh. That's no fun. A good healthy debate is awesome! I would've love to have seen that
  13. When ill equipped students affect your grade...

    Who e-mailed Nanacarol???? I want to know
  14. When ill equipped students affect your grade...

    One, this is a board for someone to come and vent their feelings. I am also a very sarcastic person which has really only helped me in my jobs and my life. Come and see the awards that I've won...
  15. When ill equipped students affect your grade...

    nanacarol - I want to work with you. In fact, I am going to show up to work and give you my entire patient load for the day while I sit in the breakroom and have coffee. Thanks for being a great...
  16. Nursing School vs. Family

    I echo everything else said here. I am a single mom of a 3 year old little boy too, who doesn't have live-in help and I can tell you that it is possible to spend great quality time with your kiddo....
  17. Daytonite has passed away...

    Her family and friends are in my prayers. She was such an inspiration to a lot of people and will be whole-heartedly
  18. Failure of non-required classes 5 years ago?

    I agree with Mi Vida Loca. It is just going to depend on the school and what they consider in their overall GPA. My school also went by the grades of my pre-req classes. I would also ask your...
  19. Can diabetic educators be fat?

    It depends on what you consider thin. Marilyn Monroe was a size 14 and that was considered healthy in her time. I do not agree with the "average" weights in the doctor's offices and certainly don't...
  20. can infants drink water?

    I used to give my baby water starting younger than 1 year but only when he was constipated or when it was very hot outside. He is a great water drinker now, in fact, he prefers that over everything...
  21. Students who freak out when they fail...

    I can understand crying and being upset but throwing a chair at a Professor? That's just a little unstable. I don't think I'd want this person as my nurse. People need to be able to control...
  22. When ill equipped students affect your grade...

    exactly! well
  23. When ill equipped students affect your grade...

    barlowjb - While you have excellent points in your post, where does it stop? The OP and several other nursing students have tried to help, over and over again, the NS that is struggling. Are you...
  24. Got my acceptance letter - NOT excited

    I felt pretty much the same way that you are feeling OP. That's pretty normal. I will tell you that I am almost done with first semester and you can do this! I still feel excited to this day and...
  25. When ill equipped students affect your grade...

    Wow. I cannot believe the attitude toward to the OP. It is not their job to hold this other student's hand and make sure they "get it". While it is nice to help a fellow classmate, it is not a...
