  1. Drug calculations in your head or calculator?

    gumby1411 replied to gumby1411's topic in General Students

    Actually, I think it's to the patient's benefit for me to use a calculator... Here's one of the problems I was looking at today: 42 x 1/9450 x 3/0.02. Now I know this isn't rocket science, but I...

  2. Drug calculations in your head or calculator?

    gumby1411 replied to gumby1411's topic in General Students

  4. Does anyone have homework already???

    gumby1411 replied to sch1109's topic in General Students

    U of M? Either we're in the same class or our schools are exactly the same. I got the same email. I'm at the library right now starting in on my videos! I wasn't expecting to start studying until...

    gumby1411 replied to bewitched's topic in General Students

  6. Living on your own in nursing school

    gumby1411 replied to Shucara SmartOne's topic in General Students

    Can you afford to move out? Have you figured out a budget with the money you'll have coming in while you're in NS. Rent, utilities, car payment, gas, car insurance, renter's insurance, groceries,...

  7. Nursing pack and watches

    gumby1411 replied to luvmysoldier's topic in General Students

    Check under the "nurses" tab, scroll to the bottom. There is a section called Nursing Gear. I saw a couple posts in there about watches with a bunch of good

  8. White Scrubs?

    gumby1411 replied to ziggysgal,RN's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Exactly! Last time I was in Victoria's Secret, they had various shades of flesh colored bras, not just black, white, and tan (and red, pink, purple, etc.). I'm fair skinned, so even a tan bra is too...

  9. what type of socks do you use??

    gumby1411 replied to ct1tx's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    You could always shave your

  10. Help! Final presentation!

    gumby1411 replied to AKA_Glamour_Pearl's topic in General Students

    The point I was making was to make the presentation visually stimulating with the use of powerpoint by adding a bunch of photos. I hate when powerpoints have nothing but text on them, those are just...

  11. What date do you start Nursing school?

    gumby1411 replied to healthstar's topic in General Students

    Yeah, I saw some stores started. I bought my highlighters at Office Max, but they didn't really have anything else that I was looking for on sale. (I'm VERY picky about my pens and notebooks!). I...

  12. Too Soon?

    gumby1411 replied to Maladroit's topic in General Students

    Last I checked, there was a "male student nurses" section on this site, but not one dedicated to just females. If there were, then the pregnancy questions would be posted there. Until then, perhaps...

  13. Too Soon?

    gumby1411 replied to Maladroit's topic in General Students

    I was debating the same thing. I'm a bit older than you, early 30's, and my husband and I are ready to start our family. I'm starting my ABSN program next month. Being my program is only a year,...

  14. Help! Final presentation!

    gumby1411 replied to AKA_Glamour_Pearl's topic in General Students

    Well, I haven't starting NS yet (next month), but at my old job, I used to give a lot of presentations. Can you include a powerpoint? I loved powerpoint as a presentation tool. You can add photos...

  15. What date do you start Nursing school?

    gumby1411 replied to healthstar's topic in General Students

    Sure is! I bought all my nursing books for this upcoming semester on Amazon. They have new and used.My ABSN program starts August 24th. I bought my scrubs, white shoes, books, and a netbook. I'm...

  16. Lunch?

    gumby1411 replied to SC APRN's topic in General Students

    Sounds great, please share your recipe! That's not juvenile at all! I love English muffin pizzas (and pita pizzas - same thing, just on a whole wheat pita). They got me through my first degree....

  17. Saw a car accident; I wish I was already a nurse!

    gumby1411 replied to happy2learn's topic in General Students

    Obviously I wouldn't put my own life in danger, but if the scene is safe, then I'll can jump in. I wouldn't dive head-first into a firery crash at the bottom of a ravine, but a less severe accident...

  18. Saw a car accident; I wish I was already a nurse!

    gumby1411 replied to happy2learn's topic in General Students

    I'm sorry but I can't believe some of the comments on this post. We are nurses (or soon to be) and have an ethical standard to uphold. Shame on you if you pass by someone that is injured or dying...

  19. Everyone wears scrubs!

    gumby1411 replied to calidonrnstudent's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Walmart employees wear scrubs? Huh? I agree with you. I haven't earned my scrubs yet (I'm starting my ABSN program next month), but I think that with clinicals my first day of class, I'll earn...

  20. Lunch?

    gumby1411 replied to SC APRN's topic in General Students

    I toast a mini whole wheat bagel or w.w. english muffin (Thomas' are my favorite) and top it with peanut butter and sliced strawberries, banana, or blueberries. I take it with me and a glass of milk...

  21. Lunch?

    gumby1411 replied to SC APRN's topic in General Students

    I've seen those before. I don't think I could get use to running with it on my back. I have a belt that I wear around my waist. It has small water bottles that click onto it. That took a lot of...

  22. White Scrubs?

    gumby1411 replied to ziggysgal,RN's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    And hey, at least you can bleach your scrubs! (Try to think positive!

  23. Saw a car accident; I wish I was already a nurse!

    gumby1411 replied to happy2learn's topic in General Students

    Yes, I do. I carry my CPR mask and a few pairs of gloves in my car...just in case...but yes, you are correct, you have to consider your safety before stopping. And always call 9-1-1, even if it...

  25. White Scrubs?

    gumby1411 replied to ziggysgal,RN's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    If I were you, I'd head to your local uniform or scrub shore. I was just in mine yesterday and although I don't need white scrubs (I lucked out with navy for my nursing program), they had white...
