  1. Doom and Gloom (A & P 1)

    RadfordSN replied to clamonte79's topic in General Students

    Everyone has their own strengths. I've never really done well in science courses, but they've always been interesting to me. I got A's in all my prerequisites. If you're really interested in the...

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

    RadfordSN replied to kris966's topic in General Students

    Before nursing school I would have said no, but after being a guinea pig for so many skills labs and having to be very open about personal things I don't think I'd have a problem with

  3. measuring resp rate?

    RadfordSN replied to mcubed45's topic in General Students

    I really have a problem counting respirations also. I saw someone else had mentioned that they find it helpful to mimic their patients resp. rate, and that's what I've been doing. It really is...

  4. I spent over 600 dollars on textbooks and supplies

    RadfordSN replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    Lucky! lol I never qualify for a book voucher. Luckily I was able to turn $450 worth of textbooks into $282 by buying on Amazon (plus free shipping, woot). Last semester I had to pay about $700 for...

  5. Hesi Exit Test

    RadfordSN replied to CSLee3's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    Wow. This actually freaks me out... I'm in my first semester of nursing school and we have HESIs as final exams for the majority of our classes. :/ I know someone said each exam should only cover what...

  6. My First Nursing Final

    RadfordSN replied to thatindiangurl's topic in General Students

    Well that's interesting.... lol Thanks for explaining that for me.

  7. My First Nursing Final

    RadfordSN replied to thatindiangurl's topic in General Students

    Does anyone have to take a final called the HESI exam? I have no idea what these things are... I'm freaking out.

  8. How did your clinicals start??

    RadfordSN replied to newbie08's topic in General Students

    Yay! I'm so glad I found this on the first page. I've been freaking out about my clinicals. I have my first one tomorrow morning at a psychiatric hospital, and I have no clue what we're doing. I'm...

  9. Care Plans - What's their purpose? - What do you think of them?

    RadfordSN replied to jjjoy's topic in General Students

    You're absolutely right. I know it gets easier, but with everything else that's going on it's hard to see that light at the end of this very long

  10. Care Plans - What's their purpose? - What do you think of them?

    RadfordSN replied to jjjoy's topic in General Students

    Seems like it would be an easier route compared to nursing. lol I wish I could buy that nursing diagnosis handbook, but until my paycheck comes I'm relying on information found on the internet....

  11. Made a Mistake

    RadfordSN replied to ChicagoRN2010's topic in General Students

    Don't worry about them. Good for you for making great grades, that's really awesome! I'm always very leery telling others my grades, even when begged, because it feels awful being resented by your...

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

    RadfordSN replied to Valasca's topic in General Students

    Like Natingale said, you're not alone. I hear everyone complaining about how much reading there is to do and how behind they are. Honestly, I don't read. That's not how I learn; I have to do hands-on...

  13. Care Plans - What's their purpose? - What do you think of them?

    RadfordSN replied to jjjoy's topic in General Students

    Alright, so care plans are what we're learning in Foundations this semester. It's on a Friday, 3 hours, last class of the day that began 6 hours ago...focusing in that class is a challenge. No one...

  14. Nursing student and over weight

    RadfordSN replied to intensity_too's topic in General Students

    That's exactly how I look at this same situation. I too am very big, and slightly bigger than the original poster. At first I did feel very out of place among my peers (always have), but then I...
