  1. Teacher who would like to shift to nursing profession

    anewday replied to prof_hannah's topic in General Nursing

    Well if you think teaching is stressful...wait until you get into nursing. It is a whole different kind of stress! I am a student now, and the stress of school is someting else. I work at a hospital...

  2. Dismissed from my program less than a week before finals!!! Please Help!

    anewday replied to MattiesMama's topic in General Students

    That was so ridiculous of that clinical instructor:rolleyes: It really sounds like she has something personal against you. I would hate to have a nurse like that care for me if I were sick. What...

  3. How do you wear your hair for clinicals?

    anewday replied to Kamdyn's topic in General Students

    I wore mine last semester down. Neck length. Though the handbook states hair must not be past a certain length, I've never seen any of our instructors say anything to anybody about their hair. A lady...

  4. Am I the Only One Who Didn't Read This Summer?

    anewday posted a topic in General Students

    Well...am I?? :uhoh21: We were told that we might want to start reading ahead. I mean I tried, I really did, but I just couldn't focus. Now class starts in less than two weeks. Yikes!! I think I'm in...

  5. People you "know "coming to your unit for care

    anewday posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hello. I was wondering if anybody ever ran into people they know outside of work on the job. Like a neighbor, former co-worker, former classmate, or even someone you don't get along with etc......

  6. People you "know "coming to your unit for care

    anewday replied to anewday's topic in General Nursing

    I definitely feel what you are saying. It makes me very uncomfortable. I am a very private person, and putting myself in the shoes of the patient, I would rather a perfect stranger care for

  7. working full time and making A's is it possible?

    anewday replied to keithjones's topic in General Students

    Since you have 6-7 hours of time to do homework/study, it might be feasable. Other than that I believe it would be quite difficult, as the actual classes in the program are way more difficult than...

  8. Anyone else going to be bored this summer?

    anewday replied to Nepenthe Sea's topic in General Students

    Not me. I am going to enjoy my break, and all of this free time to the fullest. I know when September rolls around and the craziness starts again I will wish I had some time

  9. Instructor caused me to breakdown crying at clinical

    anewday replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    Wow... was that really necessary for her to tell the patient to tell her if you aren't taking good care of them? Some of these stories I read are really sickening. I think that was so unprofessional...

  10. Nurses/Students: How often do you cry?

    anewday replied to ToxicShock's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a student and I was just thinking about this earlier this week...I havent cried yet...but I don't know...this second semester looks like it's going to be something

  11. Anybody Else Overwhelmed w/this Semester Already??!!!

    anewday posted a topic in General Students

    I feel like I am going crazy already... Anybody

  12. Licensing/Employment Question

    anewday replied to jbjints's topic in General Students

    I think some hospitals will hire you after graduation, but before you pass boards. I think they hire you as a student nurse extern or tech, with the expectation that you will move into an RN position...

  13. Any Other Students Having Trouble Finding a Job

    anewday posted a topic in General Students

    I am at my witt's end. It is so difficult to find a job that will work with my class schedule. This lack of a job situation is not going to work for much longer. I have applied for several tech...

  14. Tattoo/employability question

    anewday replied to smirkingvag's topic in General Students

    Most schools and places that employ nurses won't allow visible tattoos. Makeup made specifically to cover tattoos should work for the facial tatt. Long sleeves should help with the ones on your

  15. RN student assigned to LPN???

    anewday replied to Sara5229's topic in General Students

    It doesn't matter. A lot of the basic principles of nursing that students cover in clinicals can be learned from working with an LPN. A lot of LPN's have a broad scope of practice. At one of my...

  16. What the heck do these people think?

    anewday replied to imn2nursin's topic in General Students

    Some of these folks making these comments don't have a clue. There no extra credit in NS. Every little points on exams count. Doing poorly on an exam IS a big deal, since that can determine whether a...

  17. Sharing information

    anewday replied to miss_c's topic in General Students

    I would feel no guilt at all. I have no problems working with others to get the work done. As a matter of fact I believe that working in groups with the RIGHT people is a great way to get things done...

  18. This was a question on our test today. What do you think the answer is?

    anewday replied to APRNReneeJ's topic in General Students

    I would have picked A as the

  19. Politely Refusing to Share Grades

    anewday replied to Cilantrophobe's topic in General Students

    I would just say when asked " I did ok" and and change the subject. People asking about grades is one of my pet peeves. I don't understand why people spend so much time worrying about other peoples...

  20. To pass or To be the highest?

    anewday replied to psySins's topic in General Students

    I strive to get scores way above the minimum passing score, because number one, the exam is a measure of how much of the information I understand. Number two, I don't ever want to be borderline or...

  21. Nursing School Students...Is It Hard?

    anewday replied to HappyMeNow's topic in General Students

    Nursing school is very difficult in my opinion. Afterall people's lives will be in our hands and we must know what we are doing. Several classmates dropped out of my class. Take it very seriously. I...

  22. Would you seek medical treatment at the place you work?

    anewday replied to kris966's topic in General Students

    I would most likely seek treatment at a place I didn't work, so that I may have some

  23. Would you want a classmate to be your nurse?

    anewday replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Students

    I don't think anyone in my class is incompetent as of yet as I just finished my first semester. But for privacy reasons I'd say no...I would never want a classmate be my nurse. I'd rather have a...

  24. Do friends outside of nursing school give you a hard time?

    anewday replied to hunnybaby24's topic in General Students

    No and I wouldn't put up with any so called friends giving me a hard time

  25. cheating classmate

    anewday replied to picurn10's topic in General Students

    I'd stay out of it since it is a rumor. People don't get away with doing wrongs forever... they eventually get
