  1. Instructors

    CBsMommy replied to CBsMommy's topic in General Students

    No, we don't really raise our hands in class. I know that I am probably perceived as a show-off however I also do not want to impede my learning since that's what I'm there for. I also do not like...

  2. I Have a Bad Feeling About This Student - Am I Over-reacting?

    CBsMommy replied to SunnyPupRN's topic in General Nursing

    OP: So, how was your day? Were you able to get everything accomplished? I really hope all turns out okay for everyone in this situation and the bully or bullies also get the mental help they need...

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

    CBsMommy replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    To some of my classmates: 1. I don't care if you like me or not...you still need to treat me with respect (and I will do the same for you). 2. I don't care if you think I'm a "know-it-all" or...

  4. Feeling left out.....VENT!

    CBsMommy replied to ERsn's topic in General Students

    I'm sort of like this in lab. I haven't really felt out all of the personalities and haven't decided who I like to work with. I do different activities with different people on different days to see...

  5. Is anyone here loving nursing school?

    CBsMommy replied to Jewl's topic in General Students

    I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE nursing school! The nursing process makes sense to me and I love learning how meds work. I LOVE learning new skills and I'm usually one of the first to volunteer for the...

  6. Anyone fail out of nursing school for not being able to take a bp???

    CBsMommy replied to ohcomeon's topic in General Students

    Are you trying to do a 2-step BP or does it matter? I agree with trying your own body first. Are you having trouble hearing the sounds of a BP? If that is the case, I would suggest you run to...

  7. Nursing or Accounting.. Please help me decide.

    CBsMommy replied to amanda1266's topic in General Nursing

    And no, nurses are not paid well for all that they

  8. Nursing or Accounting.. Please help me decide.

    CBsMommy replied to amanda1266's topic in General Nursing

    Why don't you try and shadow both an Accountant and a Nurse? That might help you decide which you would rather do. I will add that Nursing is no easy task and many, many people leave nursing after...

  9. To those who live in Colorado

    CBsMommy replied to NickiLaughs's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I would suggest Castle Rock as a great place to live. It is right in between Colorado Springs and Denver. It's a little bit of a bear to drive in the snow but Colorado doesn't have too many snow...

  10. Anyone have anything positive to say about nursing school?

    CBsMommy replied to AllThingsPink's topic in General Students

    I'm only a week and a half into school and so far, so good! They have hit us really hard with assignments, tests and clinical skills already but if you are well prepared, have all of your...

  11. Question about nursing process

    CBsMommy posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Ok. So I know ADPIE and all of Daytonite's descriptions. Thanks Daytonite! But, we had a question on a quiz today that read: Mr. Jones was describing what he thought would be the use and expectation...

  12. So Stressed & Aggravated At My Job

    CBsMommy replied to shining_star28463's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't sign it either. Walking around a parking lot is dangerous these days. Since when do we put our safety in jeopardy for our patients? Although, I might have walked outside and looked left...

  13. Memorizing Cells

    CBsMommy replied to utbritton's topic in General Students

    I personally think of the cell as working just like the body. For instance, the nucleus is the "brain" of the cell, the cell membrane is the "skin" of the cell, etc., etc. I think drawing it out...

  14. What specialty do you want and not want to work in?

    CBsMommy replied to guiltysins's topic in General Students

    Trauma, trauma,

  15. Bathing Classmates and Other Personal Boundaries?

    CBsMommy replied to brownhairedgal's topic in General Students

    I agree that invasive procedures shouldn't be done on other students, such as caths, etc., and thank goodness our school doesn't let us do invasive procedures on that to each other (that's why we have...

  16. Student Loan Weirdness

    CBsMommy replied to tothepointeLVN's topic in General Students

    No. This is not going to affect your score. I've been in the mortgage industry for many years and have more practice with credit reports than the 3 bureaus! LOL. This is typical for student loans....

  17. Trying to get financial aid is making my head spin!!

    CBsMommy replied to CaitlinLiz's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    The Spring 2010 semester is going to be based on last year's taxes. If you need this for summer or fall, just file the FAFSA when you file your taxes. Are you a dependent student? You will need...

  18. Nursing school starts Tuesday!!

    CBsMommy replied to capemay5143's topic in General Students

    I start on Wednesday but we had an all day orientation on Thursday with homework so I'm going to go ahead and say that we started last Thursday! This is going to be the most challenging time of our...

  19. Oh man, anybody else have anything similar to this?

    CBsMommy replied to Csb233's topic in General Students

    I have never really fainted or fallen out of my seat but I did start to get queasy when we were talking about myelin sheaths and about the heart pumping blood (2 seperate occasions). I realized that...

  20. Anyone have anything positive to say about nursing school?

    CBsMommy replied to AllThingsPink's topic in General Students

    I just started orientation this past Thursday and I know that I am going to love the challenge it's going to present! I know that there are going to be stressful times (which is what you are hearing...

  21. how to survive nursing school- financially

    CBsMommy replied to greatpyr_mom's topic in General Students

    Can you try to do a loan modification with your mortgage company while you still have a job? Can you cut back the hours you work so they will lower your loan payment? The way the loan modification...

  22. Would You Go To Haiti To Help?????

    CBsMommy replied to Misslady113's topic in General Nursing

    If I was out of school and actually working as a nurse, you bet, I would be down there in a heartbeat working with an organization to help provide medical care. I've always wanted to go to Haiti in an...

  23. Nursing in colorado for new grads

    CBsMommy replied to GivingLove's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I really think it's because of the economy. A lot of nurses that were supposed to retire didn't because their 401Ks were wiped out. A lot of nurses that weren't working went back because their...

  24. Curious..What classes were in everyone's first semester?

    CBsMommy posted a topic in General Students

    I was just wondering what classes you had first semester? I am done with everything except the core nursing classses, so first semester will be only Nursing Fundamentals and Pharmacology. Next...

  25. Nursing in colorado for new grads

    CBsMommy replied to GivingLove's topic in Colorado Nursing

    From what I hear, the hiring everywhere in Colorado for new grads right now is non-existent! I hear Texas is hiring! Good
