  3. Parents at Orientation

    ErinJane replied to lak20019's topic in General Students

    Seven hour orientation? Ours was 2 hours. 3 if you include the BBQ afterwards, which I skipped because I had a project to do. Do you live with your mom? Because if so I can understand her wanting to...

  4. Nursing shortage....really?

    ErinJane replied to Gumerk's topic in General Students

    They are hiring here (Idaho) but it's mostly for skilled/experienced nurses. I haven't even been able to get a CAP/CNA job yet and I will have my RN in December. It's just hard to get considered for a...

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

    ErinJane replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    Please don't talk to me during lecture. I am honestly trying to concentrate. Also, when I sit in a new place it means I really don't want you to sit next to me and distract me. I can't believe you...

  7. anyone studying while on summer break?

    ErinJane replied to scrublifenurse10's topic in General Students

    I've been fitting in short (like 10-20 minutes) study sessions throughout the summer. I am relying on my Saunders NCLEX prep book. Even if I only have enough time to work on 5 questions, at least I am...

  8. Best site for used textbooks?

    ErinJane replied to Tryxie's topic in General Students

    If you go to bigwords.com they will compare the prices for all of the above (amazon, ebay, half, textbooksrus etc). They then suggest the cheapest ones and you can also find rentals on the

  9. FAINTING...what made you drop?

    ErinJane replied to Music_Box_Dancer's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I was observing a C-section in the OR and I hadn't had anything to eat that morning (always eat something). It was the smell of them cauterizing fat that got to me. I leaned against the wall and then...

  10. clinicals, why are the nurses such *******.

    ErinJane replied to lesliedabbs's topic in General Students

    It's not like she is complaining about all nurses. And if it makes you so upset why post? Other than insulting the students and making us feel like a giant pain in your ***, it doesnt accomplish...

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

    ErinJane replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    You constantly bragged that you had never worked a day in your life. You have a daughter and you go to school entirely on taxpayer money. I knew you wouldn't last the day you were disgusted that...

  12. obtaining a bsn?

    ErinJane replied to sleepyhead4's topic in General Students

    I can swing one night a weekend out at the bars with friends (unless I have an exam the next week). But I am also 22, and have no children/husband. Also, I meet up with friends for lunches sometimes...

  13. Things you would like to tell... Nursing Staff ! ( and get away with)

    ErinJane replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

  14. do nursing students get to do RESEARCH?

    ErinJane replied to curiousstudent5's topic in General Students

    Absolutely, at my school anyway. Oftentimes at least 2 of the instructors or our chair are working a research project and if you make yourself available, they love to utilize students. You don't get...

  15. clinicals, why are the nurses such *******.

    ErinJane replied to lesliedabbs's topic in General Students

    In our program we take over complete care for half of our nurses patients, until we leave the nurse has no responsibility to deal with us or our patients unless they choose to. I've watched my nurses...

  16. What's a good reason to quit nursing school?

    ErinJane replied to none the wiser's topic in General Students

    I was the only person who "liked" geriatrics in my group (of 45). I didn't love it, I just didn't hate it like everyone else. However, I too have a hard hard time with end stage Alzheimers and other...

  17. So I've been picked as an "alternate"

    ErinJane replied to kayty2339's topic in General Students

    I was second alternate in my program. It was my first time applying and when I was wait listed I just dismissed it. Then, two weeks later I received my acceptance letter. Now I am going to be entering...

  18. clinicals, why are the nurses such *******.

    ErinJane replied to lesliedabbs's topic in General Students

    I didn't know that it wasn't an expected part of their duties at most hospitals. At our clinical site, teaching is considered a part of the nurses duties as much as patient care

  19. Why would you wear low rise jeans....

    ErinJane replied to msdeannah's topic in General Students

    It's not just you, it made me smile

  20. clinicals, why are the nurses such *******.

    ErinJane replied to lesliedabbs's topic in General Students

    The only problem I have with this is that patients, families and even physicians are there to teach us. The nurses are. I have been treated like crap by some of my nurses, but I think it has more to...

    ErinJane replied to rwh998877's topic in General Nursing

  22. Im accepted! What do I need??

    ErinJane replied to country_boy's topic in General Students

    Relax! Enjoy the end of your summer and the last bit of downtime you can get! Also, figure out if you are a single/huge binder or several/smaller binder kind of person. Both work, but one always works...

  23. A question about what nursing school covers...

    ErinJane replied to nohika's topic in General Students

    It varies alot and depends on the program. We have a LTC rotation (15 weeks) including a 3 week rotation in an acute care facility. In this one we provide cares and begin to develop care plans. Then...

  24. PDA's...do you use them in your clinical, really?

    ErinJane replied to JBGC4's topic in General Students

    We don't use them in our program. When I was starting my clinicals I contacted the head of our program and she said that she doesn't advise it. You can make it through. It makes it more stressful, but...

    ErinJane replied to msdeannah's topic in General Students

    I took my last CPR class with construction workers (through our local General contractors union). It was the last minute and I really needed the class so they let me in. I saw alot of crack in that...
