  1. CCAC Fall 2009!

    sh1901 replied to mochabean's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Hey guys....second semester at Allegheny campus here. Try not to stress out too much. Honestly, the most important thing you can do is make sure that you keep up with your reading. There is a TON...

    sh1901 replied to sweetiez's topic in General Students

    I'll graduate in December 2010 and I'll be 33...not ashamed at all. I finally got the opportunity to get the degree that I

  3. Is this a bad sign??

    sh1901 replied to Nepenthe Sea's topic in General Students

    My grandmother was a WWII era nurse, she taught me to make a bed that you could bounce a quarter off of. Poor hubby, he gets the "evil eye" every time he makes the

  6. HELP!

    sh1901 replied to Scrubby's topic in General Nursing

    Scrubby - I am so sorry about all of this and the "non"-outcome of it all. I honestly think that in the work place you should treat everyone with basic human decency. I don't care if they are the...

  7. No JOB- Spare time=LOSE WEIGHT!

    sh1901 replied to k.morris's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Hey all....haven't posted for a while...had family in town and my MIL moved in with us temporarily....joy! At any rate, I don't think that I have gained any weight while the fam was in, but I don't...

  8. I might have cancer :(

    sh1901 replied to krltdy's topic in General Students

    I'm glad that your instructors were so supportive! I continue to keep you in my thoughts and prayers as you go through this most difficult time!

  9. RN to BSN, OR RN to MSN?

    sh1901 replied to KaiTT21's topic in General Students

    KaiTT21, Although I'm a bit older than you, I'm in a similar boat. I'm working on my ADN and I want to progress further. I know my path though. I want to be a Nurse Practitioner, I'm just not...

  10. School Supplies: Anything out of the ordinary needed?!

    sh1901 replied to confusedstudentnurse's topic in General Students

    I just LOVE this idea. I've had horrible neck problems every since I started school. I just tried to order this and hit a snag when trying to check out. I'm having issues with BOTH paypal and...

  11. I might have cancer :(

    sh1901 replied to krltdy's topic in General Students

    I am so sorry to hear that you are going through this. Keep faith that things will work out. As for dealing with your instructors - I would just be really honest with them, giving them as much...

  12. Do people tell you all about their medical problems because you're going to be an RN?

    sh1901 replied to worf's topic in General Students

    My sister is a bit of a hypochondriac. She used to call my mom all the time because my mom was a CNA. Now that I am in nursing school she calls me (or send me text messages). It's insane. She came...

  13. Who else is having fun with school supplies?

    sh1901 replied to knittingmonster's topic in General Students

    I think that I have always had a love-affair with school supplies. I could do some serious damage if let loose in a staples or office depot. My hubby thinks I have a screw loose, but I always tell...

  14. Shift Assignments - Who bugs you the most?

    sh1901 replied to Tait's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not yet a working nurse, but have been a manager in both the business realm and the academic realm and I think that these personality types are universal....only the material that they are...

  15. Nervous about entering REAL hospital world

    sh1901 replied to Ivanabanonymous's topic in General Students

    Most people I know (including some of my instructors) have said that you will learn more in your first year on the floor than you will in school. For the op - if you have only one semester left, I...

  16. Non-Nursing Work Experience...will this be a minus?

    sh1901 replied to sh1901's topic in First Year After Licensure

    thanks everyone. Unfortunately, I am working while going to school, but it's a non-medical position and I get paid too much to give it up for something else in the mean time....so, maybe I'll see if...

  17. Non-Nursing Work Experience...will this be a minus?

    sh1901 posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm not yet graduating, but very much looking forward to it. From everything that I have read on allnurses, it appears that I should start to apply about 3 months before I graduate. That would be...

  18. No JOB- Spare time=LOSE WEIGHT!

    sh1901 replied to k.morris's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I really like the sticker idea. The Wii keeps you pretty honest...which is currently my exercise method of choice. I like the fact that it monitors what I do and how long I do it and then I can...

  19. Hygiene More specific facial hair

    sh1901 replied to benr98's topic in General Nursing

    I think that it may be program specific. I know that in our program, facial hair is permitted as long as it is neat and kept short. The clinical instructor is the one who makes the decision of what...

  20. Pinning is in 3.5 hours... OMG

    Congratulations!! Just reading your post and thinking about it makes me all teary!! I can't wait! Great job nursing student 19 - enjoy the rewards of your hard work!!

  21. Do whiners make it through nursing school?

    sh1901 replied to tuchipie's topic in General Students

    You know what they say, "It takes all kinds...." Well, I've found that no matter where I work, what profession I work in, or where I am going to school, you always have those that whine. I personally...

  22. Fake Nails

    sh1901 replied to Coloradogrl's topic in General Nursing

    Me either. I just re-read some of the posts about the scrubs being worn to the store, etc. I also think that this is a no-no. You are taking care of folks who are ill, they have all kinds of gross...

  23. Non-Nursing Work Experience...will this be a minus?

    sh1901 replied to sh1901's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Thanks to you both for your responses. It's been my dream to be a nurse for a very long time and I guess now that the end of school is getting closer, I'm starting to stress myself out a

  24. Fake Nails

    sh1901 replied to Coloradogrl's topic in General Nursing

    I have to say that this post hit home. I happen to know someone who is a nurse, and has been for over 10 years. This person and I are, at the very most, acquaintances (she's my hubby's ex-wife)....

  25. Workin part time while going to nursing school???

    sh1901 replied to VentcSN's topic in General Nursing

    Working while going to school does make it harder - but I am working FULL TIME and still managed to make Dean's list last semester. I also have 2 step-kids at home with about a million activities...
