  1. Where did YOU sleep last night?

    ybq2008 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    We had weather here as well. I'm a nursing student, but I was a counselor in my previous life and I work part-time for an EAP company. I've been at work since Friday night. Actually, I'm still here. I...

  6. ABSN Duke Fall 2010

    ybq2008 replied to Maryash79's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Its a little slow work again and I get auto updates when your thread is active so I thought I would take a stab at this question. Our total cost of attendance for the entire 16 month program including...

  7. I took all my prereqs...now what classes should I take?

    ybq2008 replied to TrinaCNA's topic in General Students

    I would consider a communications or psychology class. Something that might boost your ability to understand and communicate with people. Usually those courses are really straight foward and don't...

  8. Any Nursing students out there who's had difficulty?

    ybq2008 replied to healthcare4life's topic in General Students

    Grades are somewhat important, but comprehension and application in the clinical setting is really what makes the best RN (from what I've been told). I feel you on the grade thing, but try not to beat...

  9. starting the nursing program at eku in january

    ybq2008 replied to lucy247's topic in General Students

    You might want to check out the boards pass rate. For your school last year, they were 95%, which is great. I've attached the file for you to look over. Good luck with everything! :)...

  10. Accelerated BSN vs traditional BSN?

    ybq2008 replied to Lefty Lou's topic in General Students

    Don't quote me on this because I can't find the source, but I believe that I read an article about the cost analysis of ADN and BSN programs on this site written by a staff member and its actually...

  11. Failed Clinical Med Surge 3

    ybq2008 replied to goetface's topic in General Students

    I'm really sorry this happened. I know it was a huge error, but being failed feels like it negates all of the great things you accomplished this semester. People are human and make errors. Ask any...

  12. ABSN Duke Fall 2010

    ybq2008 replied to Maryash79's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I'm at work and its slow right now so I thought I'd check in and try to help answer some questions and maybe relieve some of your stressors. Some of you may be interested in reading the thread from...

  13. Procrastinators Unite!

    ybq2008 posted a topic in General Students

    Hello peers! I have two final exams next week to study for, but I'm a the point in the semester where procrastination consumes at least 30% of my time. While procrastinating, I found this link: So...

  14. Procrastinators Unite!

    ybq2008 replied to ybq2008's topic in General Students

    After pulling an all-nighter to study, this procrastinator is done for the semester! Woohoo!

  15. trying to stay sane

    ybq2008 replied to sillygirl87's topic in General Students

    I think meds can be helpful, but going to therapy and really working on the root of what causes you to feel so anxious might be good for the long-term. Xanax can become very addictive and you start to...

  16. trying to stay sane

    ybq2008 replied to sillygirl87's topic in General Students

    Dealing with the stress and anxiety surrounding being a student is completely normal. Add being a nursing student, which we all new takes on a whole new level of pressure and intensity, and you feel...

  17. Procrastinators Unite!

    ybq2008 replied to ybq2008's topic in General Students

    Lol, that's one reason I deactivated my facebook account for now. I was spending waaay too much time procrastinating there, which is especially awful since I work outside of nursing school and have...

  18. H1N1 vaccine & clinical

    ybq2008 replied to CaptScrubs13's topic in General Students

    I agree with you Juli. The rumors are awful. I heard someone mention that they thought the government would sterilize people through the vaccine. Its that hysteria that causes fear and mistrust in the...

  19. H1N1 vaccine & clinical

    ybq2008 replied to CaptScrubs13's topic in General Students

    I attend one of the premier universities in this country, responsible for publishing most of the studies that the CDC cites. I was advised by medical professionals, trained using the same reference...

  21. Procrastinators Unite!

    ybq2008 replied to ybq2008's topic in General Students

    Seriously, especially with so much stuff to do, lol. Is it sad that I've been on the PC off and on for the past 2 hours? But I worked 3rd last night and I'm groggy, so that's my excuse for wasting...

  22. Procrastinators Unite!

    ybq2008 replied to ybq2008's topic in General Students

    I'll have to look in to it and get back with you

  23. H1N1 vaccine & clinical

    ybq2008 replied to CaptScrubs13's topic in General Students

    Our program has not required it, but it strongly encourages it thus far. We haven't gotten clinical placements for next semester yet, so that may change very soon. As far as the nasal spray is...

  24. dating in nursing school

    ybq2008 replied to brokenroads27's topic in General Students

    I had just started dating someone when school first started and I had to cut things off a few weeks in because the time commitment of school and my job was entirely too much to continue with a new...
