  1. Giving Report

    jennabean55 replied to Pinky89's topic in Medical-Surgical

    I agree with what the previous individuals have said, it all comes down to getting into a rhythm. The hospital I work for has a printable patient profile that shows everything that the patient is...

  2. Confused Nursing Student....help!!

    jennabean55 replied to cssook's topic in General Students

    Before I started nursing school, I really wanted to specialize in Emergency Nursing. There were no "if's, and's or but's" about it! Once I got into nursing school I kept an open mind about the...

  3. Did you lose any students?

    jennabean55 replied to mscjackson35's topic in General Students

    In the program I was in, we started with 29 and we graduated with 19. I was very thankful the be apart of that group of

  4. When Will I Know?!?!?

    jennabean55 replied to MyMystudentRN's topic in General Students

    Born and bred in Southern California, Orange County. I moved to Western Pennsylvania two years ago to be with my boyfriend and to start Nursing School. Ugh....pre-reqs, I remember those!...

  5. When Will I Know?!?!?

    jennabean55 replied to MyMystudentRN's topic in General Students

    That's why I sat there for 10 minutes debating whether or not to open the letter, haha! I was just given the scholarship based on my GPA. I needed to maintain above a 3.0. I also applied for other...

  6. Experience with School Workload and holding a job

    jennabean55 replied to Jazzyjazz's topic in General Students

    You do what you need to do when it comes to school and work. I had to work while I was in Nursing School. I had no choice. My bills weren't going to pay themselves. I also needed a car to get me...

  7. What color is your uniform?

    jennabean55 replied to MILOBRI's topic in General Students

    Oh man! Gone are the days I ever have to wear my nursing school uniform, haha! We had White "Landau" pants that tended to fit tightly around some of my classmates ankles and had a funky stitch down...

  8. When Will I Know?!?!?

    jennabean55 replied to MyMystudentRN's topic in General Students

    It honestly depends on the school. I guess it wouldn't hurt to ask the school what to expect whether you're accepted or rejected. Needless to say, when I was rejected I received an envelope with...

  9. Backing out of RN school

    jennabean55 replied to rgodfrey's topic in General Students

    I honestly think that it's the program you're in and I'm really sorry to hear this. What school are you going to that accepts 1000 applicants?! That just seems a little wild. Let me just tell you up...

  10. Best Drug Manual??!

    jennabean55 replied to tammy_zeidan09's topic in General Students

    I used "Davis's Drug Guide for Nurses" when I was in Nursing School. I LOVED it! It came with a CD and it also had an iPhone app that you can download, which were both convenient. I still use the...

  11. Need some motivational words

    jennabean55 replied to nurse4a's topic in General Students

    In every nursing program you get students from ALL walks of life. Although it may not be made aware, everyone (including faculty) have their own personal struggles that they learn to separate from...

  12. Refusing the Influenza Vaccine

    jennabean55 replied to TheAmazingMrsA's topic in General Students

    The nursing program I was in did NOT require us to receive the influenza vaccine, it was optional. We were required the basics (Hepatitis B, MMR, DTaP; if not the vaccine, then the titers). We also...

  13. Online CPR renewal?

    jennabean55 replied to DarkLotus's topic in General Students

    I use to teach CPR and 1st Aid for BLS through AHA. It'd be wise of you need to make sure that your program or employer accept the accredited certification site before paying for anything. I know...

  14. School requiring ATI as part of course

    jennabean55 replied to sweetbeet's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    We were required to take ATI throughout the entirety of my nursing program. The ATI exams also accounted for 10% of our grade. If we didn't meet the programs standards, we were required to...

  15. Experienced Student Nurses...advice?

    jennabean55 replied to cchesney's topic in General Students

    I just graduated May 5, 2012 from Nursing School. I could NOT wait for NS to arrive any faster the second I found out I was accepted to the program. I was so eager and excited to learn and practice...

  16. Petrified I will fail out!

    jennabean55 replied to tammy_zeidan09's topic in General Students

    "The way you think determines the way you feel, and the way you feel determines the way you act." This is what I was told by one of the best (probably THE best) nursing professors I've ever had....

  17. Just Took The dreaded TEAS test

    jennabean55 replied to Star1278's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I am sure will do fine! I was super nervous as well and I am not a very good test taker (bad test anxiety!). I actually placed in the 90th percentile so it really lifted my spirits and confidence!...

  18. Are there any nursing schools that accept other nursing clinical classes?

    jennabean55 replied to dancingchica3213's topic in General Students

    Most nursing programs are very selective when it comes to outside courses and transferring them over. Personally, I moved from California to Pennsylvania over a year to ago because of nursing school...

  19. Impacted programs

    jennabean55 replied to bunnstyx17's topic in General Students

    Most schools on the west coast are impacted. I was born and raised in Southern California (Orange County) and I was placed on wait-list after wait-list. I received either A's/B's in all of my...

  20. Nursing Students- Were Any of You "B" Students- and Still Got Accepted?

    jennabean55 replied to lifelearningrn's topic in General Students

    I am in NS right now in Pittsburgh, PA and I love it. I'm originally from Southern California and was placed on a wait list for 2 years. My grades and test scores were decent (87 on TEAS, "A" in...

  21. Justice was served...finally

    jennabean55 posted a topic in General Students

    Like every nursing school, I have that one classmate....you know, the obnoxious one that chronically shows up late asking questions that she would have already known the answers too, but she was late,...

  22. Justice was served...finally

    jennabean55 replied to jennabean55's topic in General Students

    She does not eat alone. I don't plan on inviting her to any of the study sessions I attend because things would never get done due to inability to show up on time and keep quiet as well as staying on...

  23. Justice was served...finally

    jennabean55 replied to jennabean55's topic in General Students

    See that's what I don't understand. When the semester first started, the professors all got on their soap boxes and made it clear that tardiness was unacceptable. Apparently the "rules" are bent for...

  24. Justice was served...finally

    jennabean55 replied to jennabean55's topic in General Students

    Yeah I guess you're right mzchas...justice really wasn't served. Only

  25. what kind of nursing specialty do you want and why? :)

    jennabean55 replied to sophie<3's topic in General Students

    I want to work in the Emergency Department or Trauma Unit. When I was doing my rotations for phlebotomy I had the opportunity to work on all floors of the hospital. Out of all of the floors my...
