  1. Anybody working full time while in school?

    intensity_too replied to Juicy925's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I work 40 hours a week, 5 days a week. My job is as a night auditor at a hotel, so I get some free time during my nights at work to study and read. If I had a job where I couldn't do school work...

  2. How I take a test and get an A

    intensity_too replied to TessaMae's topic in General Students

    Here's my thing . . . I know I am not going to get an A on every single test I take. There are going to be times when the material is hard and I might not pull off an A for that particular exam....

  3. I feel so lazy today!

    intensity_too replied to whiteoleander5's topic in General Students

    I'm totally not motivated today. I "rested" through most of lecture tonight because I was so dang tired. I'm at work right now, and all I can think about is crawling into my nice, warm (I left the...

  5. How I take a test and get an A

    intensity_too replied to TessaMae's topic in General Students

    I study very much the same way with a little variance. I go to every lecture no matter what! Being in class and hearing the information is a key step in how I learn. I take notes during class, write...

    intensity_too replied to RD_Congo's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a nursing student, and I can handle about anything . . . poop, pee, blood, vomit, but if a patient came in with maggots in a wound?? Yeah, I'd totally lose

    intensity_too posted a topic in General Students

    I'm new here and full of curiosity, so excuse my "getting to know you" type questions. I was wonder what material everyone is covering right now for those that began school this semester. We're...

  8. No laptops in class, seriously?

    intensity_too replied to mothersuess's topic in General Students

    I take my laptop to class with me. Not for note taking, but because our books this semester came with a CD that contains most of our books on it. You load it to your computer and then you have your...

    intensity_too posted a topic in General Students

    So, I've started accumulating my items for clinical . . . bandage scissors, stethoscope, clipboard, pen light, different colored pens, sharpie, PDA . . . other stuff I'm forgetting. Don't forget any...

    intensity_too replied to bethany_ortiz's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a nursing student too, and would also like to do newborn care or L&D. I hear that most hospitals won't take you on to these floors without prior experience. At least the hospitals here say...

  12. Carrying all that stuff to clinicals . . .

    intensity_too replied to intensity_too's topic in General Students

    I ended up buying a storage clipboard after reading here for a bit. Mine is bright orange! I figure that way, if I lay it down somewhere it will be easy to find, and people will be less likely to...

  15. Have you had to do anything morally wrong?

    intensity_too replied to EricaSAFJAF's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a nursing student, but I thought I'd throw my opinion out there for a few of your questions. I too believe in birthing at home, with assistance from a midwife, if you have a low risk pregnancy. I...

  16. Nursing math sucks!

    intensity_too posted a topic in General Students

    Just a little vent. We took our second exam in Metrology, and I didn't do as well as I thought. I got a 16 out of 20. Blah! I'll get to see the exam tomorrow to see exactly what I screwed up. I feel...

  17. Nursing math sucks!

    intensity_too replied to intensity_too's topic in General Students

    Thanks Daytonite for the message. What upsets me the most is I thought I had a good handle on the material. Our test covered reconstitution, units, and peds dosing. Apparently I was wrong. I can't...

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

    intensity_too replied to intensity_too's topic in General Students

    Wow! I'm really surprised by how many of you have to wear all white uniforms. For those that wear the white uniforms from head to toe, are you in a RN or BSN

    intensity_too posted a topic in General Students
