My fiance and I are getting married in June, right smack in the middle of Psych for Summer Session, and I have managed to plan almost the entire wedding. We have been engaged for over a year, but I just started planning in July, and I have everything done except the minor details and we are going to have 125-150 people there. If it is something you and your BF are set on, I would say GO FOR IT! I am having a blast planning the wedding, and I still study ALL the time, obsessively! Good luck!

We tend to have one woman who asks the most awful questions. Per a previous post, this is a repeat, but for those who didnt get the joy of reading them earlier, here are two questions she actually raised her hand and asked in front of the ENTIRE nursing program: "Can your pt come back to life after being embalmed?" AND "Can you give the dying pt's family anti anxiety meds?" Don't ask me how some of us got into the program....:uhoh21:

I go to Galveston College and have quite a few friends in the UTMB nursing program. They have relocated classes to areas such as ACC, and anywhere they can find to continue on with their education. So though other things are falling apart with UTMB, they are keeping their students on track to graduating

Studying is very hard to make fun, but if you just think about what lies on the line when you are studying, you will be more apt to want to do well. It took me a while to get accustomed to studying, and developing good study skills, but I have since found a way to make myself study. And when you get that test grade back from all your hard work, it becomes fun and inspiring then!

We just covered parenteral this semester and this is what we were taught. Deltoid for elderly might be a problem, unless you could use a smaller needle at a slight angle for the injection. Hope this helps :)

I am also a fan of the bubble bath wind down . Spending a few hours watching recorded tv shows (Ellen Degeneres, Greys, Private Practice) and surfing the net, I am ready to drift off into sleep so I can wake up and do it all again!

1. Are you seriously going to sit there and ask the professor if a patient came come back to life after being embalmed......SERIOUSLY?!?! 2. NO, you CANNOT medicate a dying patients family for anxiety if they are not your patient, and the fact that you even began to think this is a possibility frightens me! 3. HOW did you get into nursing school? 4. Seriously, if you postpone class one more time by asking stupid questions (see above) I am going to lose it on you! 5. On a much lighter note, thank you to my fellow classmates for sticking together and pulling through on the "month of hell" after missing over a month of class from the hurricane, we will appreciate the hard work in May 2010!

Well, I am new to the forum as a member, but have been around reading for quite some time. I would love to help you out for your class! 1) How has being in nursing school different than what you expected? Nursing school is actually everything I expected and more. The fast pace was expected, but the amount of knowledge we take in such a short amount of time is incredible! 2) What is the most challenging aspect of being a nursing student for you? To me the most challenging aspect changes depending on what is going on with the program. It tends to be keeping a clean house in the midst of getting all my work done, but the challenges are what makes it more fun and rewarding. ) What is the best part about being a nursing student for you? A few weeks, pre clinical, I would have told you I wasn't sure yet:bugeyes:, but recently after having worked with the patients directly I can say the amazing feeling that it gives me to put a smile on someone's face that might not have had a smile that day is INDESCRIBABLE! 4) What advice would you give to pre-nursing students about what to do before entering nursing program? I would say make sure that you have everything together, and learn the process of effective organization BEFORE starting class, you will appreciate it sooo much once the semester starts! And give yourself plenty of time to do what you won't have time to do throughout school:chuckle Hope it helps!
