I would definitely put that patch on. That's what help me quit smoking. I'm one of those that can't do the cold turkey and I hate the cravings it gave me. I used the patch and it helped tremendously. Atleast got rid of the physical addictions, I ...

I'm also heading back tomorrow for second year! I'm starting out with my psych clinical and then have lecture and another class on thursday.

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 Mrs. A had told her she was too old to go into nurs...

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. The girl I was in class with this summer signed u...

Yea I was on the nova website this morning trying to see if anyone forgot to pay...lol...so I could get a closer clinical. The only two I see open are Mrs. A's and the one that switches into Mrs. A's. We know why about that. So I guess I'll be goi...

I can't recommend a particular brand quite yet, but I just ordered one from HP. Hopefully it should be here soon! But I did want to let everyone know that HP has a student discount program. It's called the academic purchase program and they have pret...

Flames is right I'm starting second year so that's why I get to "pick" my clinicals. 1st year will be able to in the second semester.

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 flexible hours. Serving is perfect. That was one of m...

Yes you can get back in. You only have 3 years to do it from the time you were supposed to graduate. So I was supposed to graduate '06, but now it'll be '09 so this is the last year I can start with the second years or I'll have to start all over aga...

For me it's definitely Trauma ICU. That would be my #1 choice. After that it would be another ICU or CCU and then OR.

I wish I could switch with you! I'm second year though. I'm coming back in to the program after 3 years....so I got the last pick on clinicals . I feel your pain, but 40 mins isn't that bad...I'm looking at about an 1-1 1/2 drive. I'm coming from Hay...

Those above two are great jobs to have definitely. I work as a tech PT and I'm also a server PT. It's great money and very flexible hours.

Good Luck!! Enjoy!! What unit are you working on??

Thanks so much! That does help. I do love trauma, well not right when it comes into the ED...lol...but after they are somewhat patched up, I find it very interesting. The interview process sounds tough....definitely will have to think about the day/n...

Please don't let that discourage you! In my first year of nursing school there was a guy in our class that had a severe stuttering problem. He still would ask questions in a class of 120 and yes they would take him a little bit longer, but NO ONE eve...

I'm so sorry to hear that...but I know what you are going through somewhat. I withdrew from nursing school about 2 yrs ago. I wanted to go back the next year, but my mom was dx with oral cancer so I didn't. I wanted to be with her. Well she ended up ...

That definitely doesn't sound right:no:. I've never heard of such a thing. We have to do care plans on a pt, but we are given atleast a week to do them with atleast 2 days with the pt. And it totally sounds unsafe to have you at clinical all day afte...

Hi there-I'm sorry to hear that you're having this issue. I work as a tech on a step down ICU and I am also in nursing school. I'm not going to try and justify the way they are speaking to you, especially if they are flat out saying "No". However, w...
