  1. Study Books help, advise, suggestions? second semester

    CrazyNurseGrrl replied to Starfish1's topic in General Students

    I've heard good things about the "Incredibly Easy" series - they have an NCLEX study and an NCLEX Q&A and several of my friends have the Q&A. Have you looked at the CD for Saunders? It's...

  2. A family matter... any advice?

    CrazyNurseGrrl posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi everyone, There is a situation I feel I need to do something about - I don't feel right just sitting back and doing nothing. The situation is in regards to my significant other's new step-father....

  3. kckcc any positive feedback???

    CrazyNurseGrrl replied to butterflies135's topic in General Nursing

    I am by no means an expert... but I have heard very negative things about it. I know of a young woman who began in the program and left it - and is now trying to get in elsewhere - because she felt...

  4. What Does Your Grade Consist Of?

    CrazyNurseGrrl replied to mike1973's topic in General Students

    100% test grades, final included as any other test. Everything else is pass/fail. I actually like it - you either know the skill or you don't. And if you can't do it without contaminating or some...

  5. Do you have to be really good in science to go into nursing??

    CrazyNurseGrrl replied to notenufshoes's topic in General Students

    My gut reaction is to say "No, you don't have to be GREAT at science." Or "REALLY GOOD." However, you DO have to be motivated and work hard to understand the science, despite that. I am NOT a...

  6. Education advice needed

    CrazyNurseGrrl replied to AmericanChai's topic in General Nursing

    First of all. You can do it. Yes, there will be insane moments/weeks/months. But you won't go insane (permanently anyway:) ) While on one hand it would be nice to do the LPN route first - I will...

  7. Uniform Guidlines where you work

    CrazyNurseGrrl replied to Truth66's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe I'm just being... ignorant... but at the hospital I work at you can wear any type of underwear you desire - so long as you're not showing them (and/or your butt crack) off. Not that the...

  8. Anyone with Anxiety issues

    CrazyNurseGrrl replied to ThinkRNin2009's topic in General Students

    Hello, As a nursing student you know there are all sorts of reasons for anxiety... and this is probably a bit isolated, but I experienced anxiety enough that it interfered with my life. And then I...

  9. Anyone know when JCCC will send letters for Fall '07 ADN???

    CrazyNurseGrrl replied to momma&nurse2B's topic in General Nursing

    Hey Lauren - Fact of the matter is that some people are 4.0 and 30s on their ACTs. Some are 3.0 and in the low 20s for ACT score. I personally had a decent ACT score but a "not great" science score -...

  10. What color scrubs does your school make you wear for clinicals??

    CrazyNurseGrrl replied to intensity_too's topic in General Students

    We wear our school color - it's a dark red that most companies call "wine". Wear it top and bottom with our school's name and "Nursing Student" in a gold color on the left breast. Just regular...

  11. JCCC/KU/Anywhere else Admissions

    CrazyNurseGrrl replied to Lauren3787's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Lauren, Do you have all your prereqs taken care of? KU requires all of them, and JCCC prefers most of them, as well as CNA - but don't worry, you can take a CNA course in as little as 2 weeks (but...

  12. Obligation in the face of car accident?

    CrazyNurseGrrl posted a topic in General Students

    Hi everyone! I was driving home from clinicals today with my clinical group and someone mentioned car accidents and how a nurse should respond - then another person replied that if you see an...

  13. Brown Mackie?

    CrazyNurseGrrl replied to vintin2nm's topic in General Nursing

    And by the way - Brown Mackie will quote some great pass rate to you. The problem is, clinicals are "competitive" to get into. Less than half the class ever gets to go to clinicals, and thus take...

  14. Summer between 1st & 2nd year Nursing school

    CrazyNurseGrrl posted a topic in Camp

    Hi everyone, I am very interested in camp nursing. I thought I read somewhere that some camps will allow you to come in and work if you're about to start your second year of nursing school. I have...

  15. should you tell your classmate/co-worker about body odor

    CrazyNurseGrrl replied to PEBBLES1's topic in General Students

    I think some people have already given great advice for HOW to tell her... my 2 cents is: I PRAY that someone would tell ME if I were having that problem. Keep that in
