    CBsMommy replied to Despareux's topic in General Students

    You're right. As soon as I found out that we had that week off I was a little miffed...I would rather just be done. Now that the week off is a little closer though, I'm actually grateful. I have to...

  4. Five more weeks left in last semester....

    CBsMommy replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    Oh, me too. In fact, I told the girls in clinical that we should go right from clinicals, out into the woods behind the hospital, build a fire and strip down to our unmentionables, throw our ugly...

    CBsMommy replied to Despareux's topic in General Students

    My senoritis is SO BAD right now that I do have little mini temper tantrums! Every little thing due in class makes me want to scream!!! I feel like a caged animal. If I wasn't planning most of the...

  11. Family Members

    CBsMommy replied to CBsMommy's topic in General Nursing

    That's a great idea and one that I need to store in my mind for future use! Love it!

  12. Family Members

    CBsMommy replied to CBsMommy's topic in General Nursing

    We didn't have the staff for a 1:1 at that time....I did suggest that to the RN. I don't expect the family to "understand the magnitude of the responsibility the RN has when it comes to a patient" but...

  13. so I found out...

    CBsMommy replied to mommywithplenty's topic in General Students

    I used to get upset about stuff like this too. I used to let it waste more of my energy than not. Now that I'm older, it's not worth it. I have a phrase that I use in cases like these, "It's their...

  14. RN school graduation gift to self? What did you promise yourself?

    CBsMommy replied to OnaTrek's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I LOVE this question! After graduation, passing the NCLEX and getting a job, I am going to first pay off the car loan (I AM ALMOST THERE!) and then I am treating my 3 person family on a cruise to...

  15. I pay to hear the instructor... not your stories (rant. beware)

    CBsMommy replied to grownuprosie's topic in General Students

    You could do what the people in my class do. The constant interruptor sits beside me. Behind us are the girls who hate it. Every time she starts talking about something not pertinent, the girls...

  16. What types of pharm?

    CBsMommy posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I am going to take NCLEX in about 8 weeks and am starting on my plan for studying. Pharm questions are the worst types of questions for me! What pharm should I focus on the most, from those of you...

  17. Where do you sit in lecture

    CBsMommy replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    I always sit in the front, to the right, one seat from the wall (not dead center). I've always been in this seat, from the first day of Fundamentals. It's been pretty lucky for me too! Like another...

  18. writing papers during school?

    CBsMommy replied to aachavez's topic in General Students

    I am in an ADN program and the first couple of semesters, we would have to complete care plans, which is like writing a paper, some of mine would be anywhere from 8-10 pages. In psych, we also had to...

  19. I really want to succeed, but...

    CBsMommy replied to ngerste's topic in General Students

    OP - I had the worst clinical experience in my first semester! I went home twice in tears (which is rare for me). I remember the first time I was giving meds, I placed the blister pack over the...

  20. "Note to New Students" Nursing School is not all bad!!!

    CBsMommy replied to NursingStudent87's topic in General Students

    I honestly love nursing school too. I'm excited to graduate in a few weeks (Yea, I never thought I'd be able to say that!) and I'm a little "over it" right this second but I'm just burned out. I...

  21. Being injured by patients

    CBsMommy replied to SugarBabe99's topic in General Students

    I had the same fears that you did, especially after some of the threads on here! First of all, Alzheimer's patients tend to get a little aggressive and combative in the later stages. Most of this...

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

    CBsMommy replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

  23. How do you get through the last few months of nursing school?

    CBsMommy replied to bella147's topic in General Students

    I just passed my last med-surg class with an A. I have had no motivation to study since the semester started in August but it was worth MAKING myself crack open the books to get my A. I treated...

  24. Where do the damn pillows go?

    CBsMommy replied to dudette10's topic in General Nursing

    This is something I've always wondered about. That and why the supplies in our stock rooms are put in the weirdest of places! And why there aren't enough computers for everyone and why can't I find...

  25. So, My Clinical Instructor Hates Me...

    CBsMommy replied to MissJulie's topic in General Students

    Miss Julie - It's hard not to take it personally, I know. My current CI and I don't jive in the personality part this semester either. I just fix a smile on my face, say, "Yes, Ma'am" and move on....
