  2. What color are your school uniforms?

    notthereyet0 replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Students

  3. Pediatric Rotation

    notthereyet0 replied to healthcarestudent's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Probably a stupid suggestion, but watch Patch Adams. It is a movie by Robin Williams that is based on a true life story. It inspires me every time, although it is not just about kids, but it kinda...

    notthereyet0 replied to chesneyone's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    notthereyet0 posted a topic in Ohio Nursing

    notthereyet0 replied to rnhope2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    notthereyet0 replied to akadimkz's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    We are in what was a traditional BSN program, but it was "accelerated" to go through the summers. I thought, "what a great idea!" This summer has been really difficult to keep on task and stick with...

  12. Kent State Accelerated BSN prereq's

    notthereyet0 replied to barleany78's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Kent State is very picky about where you get your credits, especially if you have a declared major. You need to ask an advisor about this so that you are not left out in the cold after you take the...

  15. Vent - Uniforms!!

    notthereyet0 replied to sh1901's topic in General Students

    I thought it was hilarious when a nurse overheard several of us complaining about always having to hike our pants up (they either come squeezingly tight or balloon like). She commented that when she...

  16. Did your nursing school use collaborative testing for any classes?

    notthereyet0 posted a topic in General Students

    Our nursing school used collaborative test taking (groups of 3) for the final in one of the most difficult classes. Some really liked it, did better on the test because of it, others chose not to do...

    notthereyet0 posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Sorry to vent but here is my case study, this is the only info we are given. "You are working in an acute care facility medical unit. An 80-year-old female with mild confusion is admitted. No one is...

  20. Why do case studies give so little information and expect a multipage response?

    notthereyet0 replied to notthereyet0's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Daytonite, I always appreciate your advise (not that I don't anyone else's). You advised to look at the history, but they don't give you any to go on, so as a teacher in the past, should the student...
