  1. Tattoos and piercings

    msjack replied to averna's topic in General Students

    I think it totally depends on your school. I had to take out my tongue ring for school. They were not allowed. We also can only have one earring per ear and have to be studs..no hoops or danglies....

  2. Psych Process Recording

    msjack replied to preciousbear's topic in General Students

    Have you checked your psych book? Our book has a step by step example and a sample

  3. Sitter questions

    msjack replied to xoloveinautumn's topic in General Students

    Personally I hate sitting. At my hospital, usually the transporters are also sitters. But most of the time there are not enough so the techs have to fill in. On my floor whatever tech is taking...

    msjack replied to Lovely_RN's topic in General Students

  5. Pt help!!!!!!

    msjack replied to DN08's topic in General Students

    Is the patient only on palliative care/hospice? If so, that is the reason why they are not having tx for the cancer. It sounds like it since you say they are only on pain and N/V meds which are...

  6. NVCC Nur Program-Withdraw, No Way!!

    msjack replied to Bpeaceful2All's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I'm sorry to hear you did so poorly. One test definitely doesn't make your grade, so I would not W/D. I would keep working at it. It took me some time to get used to the nursing exams. Remember though...

  7. How do I manage all of this reading????

    msjack replied to Valasca's topic in General Students

    Hi all-I'm in the same boat as everyone else. I just can't/don't have time to read all the chapters. I've found if I do the review questions that come on the CD for the textbook and also on the CD for...

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

    msjack replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    Please for the love of god shower before clinical!! I dry heave when you walk by me and I can't stand to be in that tiny room with it smelling like mold and BO! It's not rocket science. Stop dipping...

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

    msjack replied to intensity_too's topic in General Students

    Well thankfully they just changed them last year from all white pants and shirt with a smock to finally scrubs. Now it's hunter green pants with a white top and lab coat with our school logo...

    msjack replied to RXtech's topic in General Students

    :eek::eek: Poor girl....what an embarrassing way to find

  11. Stool sample for Micro class?????

    msjack replied to RXtech's topic in General Students

    But it is. The OP said that the teacher was requiring an "acorn" size

  12. Stool sample for Micro class?????

    msjack replied to RXtech's topic in General Students

    I've done plenty of "code browns", it's pretty much what I do all day and I still have a problem with this. When your working and in a professional setting it's different then being in class with...

  13. Stool sample for Micro class?????

    msjack replied to RXtech's topic in General Students

    We definitely never had to do that. That does seem a bit odd. I really wouldn't want to know what my friend/classmate's poop looks like. What are you all doing with it? What kind of testing? It's...

  14. should you tell your classmate/co-worker about body odor

    msjack replied to PEBBLES1's topic in General Students

    I agree with the previous poster, I think it's the instructor's place to tell her. I think she would be more offended if a friend told her or wouldn't take it seriously. I know it's a touchy subject...

  15. BSN vs. ADN

    msjack replied to Papi15437's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Have you thought about getting your ADN and then pursuing your BSN after you're already working as an RN? Most hospitals (atleast in my area) have tuition reimbursement. That way you could have some...

  18. NOVA Need to switch Clinical Assignments

    msjack replied to naide88's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Mrs. A is VERY mean. I didn't have her clinical, but I was at the same site as she and her group was at at the same days and time. We had one of her students come to running crying to our CI because...

  19. NOVA Need to switch Clinical Assignments

    msjack replied to naide88's topic in Virginia Nursing

    That would be SO great if they added a few more clinicals...closer to me...haha. I saw that some of the clinical sections have 9 students in them. I was wondering if they were the ones from the TBA's....

  22. RN School and Work? Is it possible?

    msjack replied to SoontobeNorfolkRN's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I don't go to your school, but I know working is possible with NS. A lot of people do it. I did it. I actually worked two jobs during school. It was tough, but you definitely need a job with...

  23. NOVA Need to switch Clinical Assignments

    msjack replied to naide88's topic in Virginia Nursing
