  1. Do friends outside of nursing school give you a hard time?

    sh1901 replied to hunnybaby24's topic in General Students

    I haven't really LOST any friends, but the relationships are different. They are more, well, distant. One of my friends who really had backed off decided to go to NS, and is doing her prereqs. Her...

  2. New TV Commercial...

    sh1901 replied to RutterMama's topic in General Students

    I'm personally addicted to House and Bones....although I rarely get to watch (except re-runs). The kids would probably lose it if we took away the Sponge Bob. We mostly watch movies though. We own...

  3. New TV Commercial...

    sh1901 replied to RutterMama's topic in General Students

    To be honest, there are a lot of commercials that I don't think are necessary!! I don't see why, when I am watching the 15 minutes of TV that I have for, I need to watch a commercial about how...

  4. Student Nurse Prayer

    sh1901 replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    AMEN!!!

  5. Going to the Gym

    sh1901 replied to medgirlRN's topic in General Students

    I enjoy working out to relieve stress...my issue has been that between my work schedule and my class schedule, I'm on the treadmill either late at night or way early in the morning. I used to take a...

  6. Class sizes

    sh1901 replied to sproeber89's topic in General Students

    I had skills lab last night and there were 14 in there, which seemed fine to me. We worked in smaller groups and the instructor had plenty of time to go around to each group and assist. We have...

  7. Rough seas ahead

    sh1901 replied to LovingLearning's topic in General Students

    How "open" are your instructors? That may help you to determine what to tell and what to keep to yourself. I think that at the very least, you need to tell them that your father is sick. How much...

  8. How to approach a student problem

    sh1901 replied to allinGod's topic in General Students

    I certainly hope that things work out!! My thoughts are with this student!

  9. First day of nursing School *unleashed* post yours

    sh1901 replied to 9livesRN's topic in General Students

    My first night of class was last night. I was so excited that I hardly slept Sunday night and my day at work seemed like it was dragging on forever because I wanted to get to school. There are 45...

  10. How to approach a student problem

    sh1901 replied to allinGod's topic in General Students

    I agree that there are 2 sides to every story and that school most certainly will have theirs. Make sure that you look through the student handbook (if you got one) to be certain that there are not...

  11. How to approach a student problem

    sh1901 replied to allinGod's topic in General Students

    I think that it would depend on what guidelines were set for the students before they started clinicals. If the standards of behavior were set, discussed, and provided in writing (like they are in my...

  12. How to break the news......

    sh1901 replied to RN2010LW's topic in General Students

    I think that if you feel she is going to be mad no matter what, you should just tell her what you told us. Then brace for impact!!

  13. New TV Commercial...

    sh1901 replied to RutterMama's topic in General Students

    I agree with Firestarter. I do not think that there should be prescription drug commercials on TV. I think that only pushes people to go to their physician and demand a medication (and it happens...

  14. Maintaining balance...

    sh1901 replied to studentnurse2012's topic in General Students

    Right now, I actually work full-time and go to school, so everything in my life is very regimented and scheduled. That being said, I schedule some fun-time or down-time into my week. I think that it...

  15. Anyone starting NS tomorrow??

    sh1901 replied to CardioNRS~DAWN's topic in General Students

    I start today as well. I'm in an evening-weekend program so I technically start tonight. No uniforms needed yet, but I got them washed and pressed this weekend so that they are ready to go!! I...

  16. Stress!!!!!!

    sh1901 replied to Blueberrz's topic in General Students

    Doing something physical that requires little or no brain activity is helpful for me. I used to do kickboxing, but just got a Wii Fit for Christmas and I'm using that. Make sure that you make time...

  17. We've Made It!! Class of 2010 (starting Spring 2009)

    sh1901 replied to TeeRN2Be's topic in General Students

    Best of luck to everyone!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!! WE DID

  18. Do You Outline Chapters?

    sh1901 replied to missjennmb's topic in General Students

    In most of my classes (even non-nursing) I have outlined chapters. My method is to read the chapter and highlight the points that I think are important and should be on the outline. I usually go...

  19. A new watch??

    sh1901 posted a topic in General Students

    I have a very nice watch with a second-hand that I wear everyday, but I'm thinking that I would rather get something that is maybe not so nice and probably water-proof for use when I'm doing my...

  20. Required Textbooks

    sh1901 replied to POMD01's topic in General Nursing

    I understand how you feel. I purchased 13 books for this semester! Many of the books are reference-type books, but they will be used for writing up patient care plans and making drug cards, etc. My...

  21. For Fun - Things You Want to Buy Once You're a Nurse

    sh1901 replied to Multicollinearity's topic in General Students

    I'm looking forward to not stressing about where the money is coming from to pay bills!!! I also want my boyfriend to stop working 2 jobs to bring in some extra money. I'd like to let him take some...

  22. Overwhelmed!!!!!

    sh1901 posted a topic in General Students

    I'm a first year SN and I've just picked up my books today. I'm not overwhelmed by the number of books (13 for 1 class, but mostly reference books) and although I will need to be a weight lifter to...

  23. TIPS FOR NEW NURSING STUDENTS - Clinicals Part 1

    sh1901 replied to StepbyStep's topic in General Students

    Excellent advice.....I laughed out loud when I read

  24. First day of nursing School *unleashed* post yours

    sh1901 replied to 9livesRN's topic in General Students

    Congrats on your first day!!! It must feel sooo good! I have orientation on Thursday and the first day is Monday....I can't wait! I don't think I will be able to sleep on Sunday

  25. Overwhelmed!!!!!

    sh1901 replied to sh1901's topic in General Students

    Do you mean how did orientation turn out? If so, that's on Thursday, so I'll let you know. I've been slowly going through the syllabus and reading assignments, etc. to plan my
