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

    CBsMommy replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    To my fellow students: 1) Please stop asking me about my grades. I think from now on I will just tell you all that I made 100% on everything. 2) Do not get mad at me when I am trying to help you,...

    CBsMommy replied to amathis's topic in General Students

    1. Spending time with my son, especially when he comes into my office and asks if I'm done with homework yet. (He's 3). 2. My job, which I hated anyway. 3. Sleep 4. Sleep 5. Sleep 6. Having...

  3. Single mom nursing student without help-needing advice and encouragement

    CBsMommy replied to 2blessings's topic in General Students

    As a single parent I know how hard this is and good for you for wanting to make a better life for yourself and your kiddos! Here's what I do to help myself and so far, I've done really good in all my...

  4. I witnessed something and can't do anything about it

    CBsMommy replied to The Princess Bride's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Yes, please report her any way that you can! Also, they should have camaras in that area, right? I would discuss with your instructor AGAIN what you saw and tell your instructor that you cannot...

  5. I witnessed something and can't do anything about it

    CBsMommy replied to The Princess Bride's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I would put in a complaint to the BON NOW, come he!! or high water! Regardless of what the nursing instructor says or the nursing manager, that needs to BE STOPPED NOW! I also would've walked into...

  6. Is Critical Thinking TAUGHT or just ASSESSED?

    CBsMommy replied to sunny d's topic in General Students

    Michaelxy - You said it perfectly. The only thing that I would add is not only do you need to see a problem and outcome from all sides of the issue, but you need to determine what those outcomes...

    CBsMommy replied to snoopy29's topic in General Nursing

    I spoke with my grandmother who was a nurse way back when. She remembers having to make baby formula from evaporated milk! She also stated that in her day they needed to clean everything. They...

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

    CBsMommy replied to Valasca's topic in General Students

    You know you're in nursing school when a student complains about pain in her LLQ and 10 other students break out the steths to listen to bowel sounds....true

  9. ID10T NS questions....... ***VENT***

    CBsMommy replied to FLmomof5's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    These types of questions are SO FRUSTRUATING! My instructor does these types of questions as well and while I love nursing school...I can't seem to pass our instructor's tests. They are SO VAGUE!...

  10. Does anyone here have or want tattoos???

    CBsMommy replied to sherriberry1's topic in General Students

    I have a big tattoo on my back as well. Easily hidden with clothes. I've kicked around the idea of getting another small one on the back of my neck but I'd always have to wear my hair long. We'll...

  11. Time management

    CBsMommy replied to >--stethoscope--o's topic in General Students

    I get A's in pharm because I take the extra time to understand how the different drugs work on the body (which doesn't take too much). This week I am going to be studying probably on the average, 5...

  12. First Day of Clinicals....Disaster

    CBsMommy replied to WILLBEANRN's topic in General Students

    Hang in there! We ALL make mistakes at first and you are taking those mistakes as a way to learn. Kudos to you as I think that you have exactly the right attitude! Be glad that you learned a few...

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

    CBsMommy replied to healthcare4life's topic in General Students

    OP: You are not alone with the theory classes. I haven't failed a test yet but I haven't been doing as well as I want either. Theory is just such a broad, nonspecific thing that there are many...

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

    CBsMommy replied to jrsmrs's topic in General Students

    I LOVE nursing school! I am also learning so much! Is it hard? Sure it is! Is it stressful? Sure it is! So is nursing as a career. People need to realize that part of nursing school is putting...

    CBsMommy replied to morningland's topic in General Students

    morningland....that just plain sucks. I am also sorry this happened to you as I think it's every student's nightmare to fail a check-off! I really hope they give you a make-up assignment so you can...

  16. can't get the math

    CBsMommy replied to greatful1's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Have you picked up a Teas Study Guide? That is the best way to re-learn and review math. It starts with addition and works it's way up. Good

  17. Is it just me?

    CBsMommy replied to >--stethoscope--o's topic in General Students

    I don't really have friends in nursing school but it is a good thing to at least be friendly (it really helps in lab and clinical). I have a really strong personality and tend to turn people off so I...

  18. Anybody else out there feel like a failure???

    CBsMommy replied to sherriberry1's topic in General Students

    Hang in there Sherri! I am in my first semester and cannot believe how much work it is! Just take it one day at a time and you will get through this. If you can, follow the suggestions above and set...

  19. Neurotransmitters

    CBsMommy posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Thanks in advance to anyone that can reply to this. If we block the neurotranmitters from reuptake, the effects of those neurotransmitters will last longer because they will be stuck in the synaptic...

    CBsMommy replied to sophie<3's topic in General Students

  22. Instructors

    CBsMommy posted a topic in General Students

    Hello all! I have a question for you...what type of students do instructors like? We've been in class for two weeks and I have an instructor that I'm not sure if she likes me or not. I'm always...

  23. Instructors

    CBsMommy replied to CBsMommy's topic in General Students

  24. Instructors

    CBsMommy replied to CBsMommy's topic in General Students

    My last reply was directed at gentylwind as yes, in their post, it says twice that I need to use this as a learning experience to work with people. And, yes, I feel that I do need to be recognized and...

  25. Instructors

    CBsMommy replied to CBsMommy's topic in General Students

    See, it seems to me that you are assuming that because I am a know-it-all or a show-off, I can't work well with people, which really isn't true. I'm a second career Mom who has worked with people...
