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

    gumby1411 replied to happy2learn's topic in General Students

    I don't think the OP said they were a nurse

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

    gumby1411 replied to happy2learn's topic in General Students

    Are you CPR certified? I guess if you're not certified, then there's not much you can do besides calling 9-1-1. (Never assume that someone else called - it's better to have 10 people call than...

  4. Lunch?

    gumby1411 replied to SC APRN's topic in General Students

    What's to worry about with the straw? It's a really thick plastic material (the bottle and straw are bpa free). I've never noticed any smells or anyting, even if I haven't washed it in a while. I...

  5. Lunch?

    gumby1411 replied to SC APRN's topic in General Students

    My Camelbak has a flip top with the straw in the bottle. I have the plastic one that's bpa free, but they also offer stainless steel if you prefer. I've dropped it I don't know how many times on the...

  6. What to expect on my 1st day!?

    gumby1411 replied to Courtcatt's topic in General Students

    Wow! I thought my program was bad b/c our first day of class is clinicals. I can't imagine having to know the first 15 chapters b/f classes even

  7. Scrubs Make Me Crazy (long rant)

  8. What type of RN do you wanna be?

    gumby1411 replied to reeta116's topic in General Students

    I love this post and reading about everyone's goal. I start NS next month, so I'll narrow it down in clinicals, or change my mind altogether, but right now, I'm interested in trauma, NICU, and...

  9. Lunch?

    gumby1411 replied to SC APRN's topic in General Students

    A bag of raw veggies is one of my favorite things to munch on during class. I also bring fresh fruit, nuts, and/or homemade granola bars. Yogurt and cheese are good, too, as long as you bring an...

  10. Scrubs Make Me Crazy (long rant)

    gumby1411 replied to coast2coast's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Lol! I think "front wedgie" is the PC term, if there is one for that event! Haha! And yes, stretch scrubs sound like a fabulous idea! I love my stretch jeans, they're so

  11. Scrubs Make Me Crazy (long rant)

    gumby1411 replied to coast2coast's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Coast2Coast - you are hilarious. I felt the same way after trying on scrubs for my nursing program that starts next month. I was so frustrated! I'm 5'9 and thin, so I typically don't have problems...

  12. What to expect on my 1st day!?

    gumby1411 replied to Courtcatt's topic in General Students

    My program is 12 months. We already had orientation. We have a few hours of basic skills instruction (feeding, bathing, changing linens, etc) the week before classes "officially" begin. From my...

  13. what type of socks do you use??

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

    I was wondering the same thing. I'm starting school next month, with clinicals my first day. I went to the local scrubs store today and there were about 30 options for compression socks. I was a...

    gumby1411 replied to christyness's topic in General Students

    Oops, I just posted in response to someone else and posted on the wrong topic...can't seem to delete the post.

  15. I GOT IN!!! Advice wanted :)

    gumby1411 replied to christyness's topic in General Students

    Congrats!! That's so exciting! I'm starting my program next month, so I can't offer you any 1st term advice, but there have been many topics here regarding pieces of advice for new students. You...

  16. What to expect on my 1st day!?

    gumby1411 replied to Courtcatt's topic in General Students

    I'm starting my accelerated BSN program next month. My first day of classes is a clinical rotation. I have to be at the hospital at 6:30am. Nothing like throwing us into the deep

  17. Pharmacology online?

    gumby1411 replied to mamacashew's topic in General Students

    I couldn't agree more with the two previous posts. They had some great points. I also took it online as a prereq to the ABSN program I'm starting next month. While the material is difficult and...

  19. Having trouble deciding which nursing school to go to. So confused.

    gumby1411 replied to swansonplace's topic in General Students

    Write out a full list of pros and cons. See which school has more pros. Regarding the 90% drop out rate at school #1: where did you hear this? Is this from the horse's mouth or the word on the...

  20. Can I have multiple ear piercings?

    gumby1411 replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in General Students

    I never thought about this before. I can't imagine the school telling you how many ear piercings you can have. I would think it has more to do with the requirements of the hospital where your...

  21. Will I forget it all??

    gumby1411 replied to MammaNurse2Be's topic in General Students

    Sure, it's called "Inside the Living Body". It follows the body of a female from birth to old age and is filmed with microscopic cameras inside the body. It was absolutely fascinating and a good...

  22. Will I forget it all??

    gumby1411 replied to MammaNurse2Be's topic in General Students

    I'm a little worried about the same thing. I took A&P a year ago, Micro & Nutrition more than a year ago and I start my nursing program next month. I was watching a National Geographic video...

  23. Torn about nursing school

    gumby1411 replied to ChrissyM82's topic in General Students

    HUH?! I don't know many people who can afford college by paying out of pocket. That's what scholarships, grants, and student loans are for! I don't know what that financial aid person was thinking....

  24. Torn about nursing school

    gumby1411 replied to ChrissyM82's topic in General Students

    I say go to the school you got into. Competition to get into nursing programs is fiece (in my area anyway). What happens if you apply to other programs and don't get in? My program is going to...

  25. Baby during NS = bad idea?

    gumby1411 posted a topic in General Students

    I'm starting an accelerated BSN program in August and will graduate the following August (2011). My husband and I have been married for 2 1/2 years and are a bit older (in our 30s). We are so...
