    Being prepared for the RN program

    jesskidding replied to slangley's topic in General Students

    1. My advice is not to study unless you are taking pre-req classes and need to study for them. If you are not currently taking classes then take it easy and enjoy your free time before NS starts. I...

    Is this realistic?

    jesskidding replied to ejf88's topic in General Students

    Since you are going to a CC the costs should be doable. No nursing students I know get a "big, fat refund check"....all the money has been used. There is usually nothing left over for us nursing...

    Is nursing for me?

    jesskidding replied to emptyboxcars's topic in General Students

    Maybe you would be happier as a physician. I think it sounds more like what you are describing. Have you thought of going to medical

    Skill Competency Error

    jesskidding replied to um_bek's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Just learn from your mistake and move on. You are still learning. Don't beat yourself up about it. Remember to always check pts charts for allergies. Triple check everything and make sure what you are...

    nursing career without touching people

    jesskidding replied to confusedstudent2011's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Considering the OP just registered this month and this is their first post....I'm thinking it's a troll trying to get attention and responses. The topic is so ridiculous and hardly

    Needs Help with Rural Capstone Ideas

    jesskidding replied to tsquire1's topic in General Nursing

    How about oral health/hygiene? I grew up in the rural mountains of NC and that is HUGE issue there. Also, there is also nutrition and weight issues in many rural areas. Especially in the South. I...

    Who is worried about their first test?

    jesskidding replied to futurenurseya33's topic in General Students

    9/15 for me. I am starting to get nervous. Just because I have no idea how each instructor is going to format their tests. We will just have to say a little prayer for each other.

    CNA and report

    How do you like the "charge CNA" position? Did it help the CNA's on your floor? I think our unit would benefit from a position like

    CNA and report

    jesskidding replied to tokmom's topic in General Nursing

    At my hospital CNA's give report to other CNA's. However, the RN's are supposed to be giving a report to the CNA's. That is actually hospital policy, but it's rarely ever done that way. You can't...

    How to make ends meet during nursing school?

    jesskidding replied to dclamb3's topic in General Students

    Can you work part time in a hospital as a CNA or something? I think you would get better experience as a CNA rather than a volunteer. Plus, you would be getting paid for your time. I am working PRN at...

    What should I be studying four months before starting nursing school?

    jesskidding replied to Granola Girl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I suggest taking it easy and relaxing. You will have enough to do once school starts. I asked myself the same question and I took that advice and I am so glad I did. Seriously, I just started NS on...

    ATI?

    jesskidding replied to kynthiamoon's topic in General Students

    The ATI test you take at the beginning of NS is usually a critical thinking assesment. That's what mine was. We had two tests that day in ATI and it was the critical thinking and a personality type...

    First day of Nursing school..What should I expect?

    jesskidding replied to Valery0725's topic in General Students

    Lots of paperwork, orientation stuff, clinical info, syllabus reading, orientation stuff, lots of questions from students, and more questions. We didn't get into the books the first day. Just a lot of...

    Co-worker talking behind my back "did i handel this right"

    jesskidding replied to Trekfan's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    She misspelled like 5 words. Who cares?! If you didn't have advice for her regarding her current work situation, then you shouldn't have posted anything at all. OP- I hope things get better at work...

    Nurses in the path of Hurricane Irene

    jesskidding replied to Horseshoe's topic in General Nursing

    I am in central NC and my hospital did a Code Major and Minor Triage drill yesterday. It shouldn't affect us to much since it's more out east, but I guess administration just wanted everyone to go...
