  1. Tell me how do YOU study.

    sh1901 replied to Prettyladie's topic in General Students

    I read each chapter before class and create a basic outline of the concepts on my laptop. I will also highlight key points so that if I feel that I need to look over something again, I can find it...

  2. I got accepted into LMU's nursing program!

    sh1901 replied to country_boy's topic in General Students

    Congratulations!! My advice is not to fall behind in your reading - it is virtually impossible to catch back up!! I have found that the male nursing students at my school are dedicated and work very...

  3. Random Thoughts: From a Nursing Student

    sh1901 replied to VidaUrbana's topic in General Students

    Why do I have a clinical instructor for a med-surg rotation who has been working in home health for the past 25 years and doesn't ever leave the conference

  4. What is the schedule like in nursing school?

    sh1901 replied to sstephens04's topic in General Students

    I think that it probably depends on the school. I have summers off, and know myself well enough to know that I need that "recharge" time. I work full-time, have a family and go to school, so the...

  5. books!

    sh1901 replied to Stephanieee's topic in General Students

    My first semester I had the same experience. I did purchase all of the books, but not through the book store. I used textbooks.com and Amazon and rather than paying about $1200 I ended up with a...

  6. Vent - Uniforms!!

    sh1901 posted a topic in General Students

    Before I get off on my tangent here, let me say that I know that our uniforms could be worse. I've seen what some other folks have posted on here. Our uniforms consist of navy blue scrub pants with...

  7. Anyone at CCAC (Community College of Allegheny County)?

    sh1901 replied to ChristineN's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Hi Nurs 1 - I'm a NRN102 student at CCAC Allegheny Campus, in the evening/weekend program. I saw your post about your clinical and wanted to respond. There is not really any flexibility with...

  8. Vent - Uniforms!!

    sh1901 replied to sh1901's topic in General Students

    It seems that in general everyone has some sort of issue with their uniforms. I have to say though that I agree with one of the pp's that since part of the students in our school are wearing the polo...

  9. Stupid things said by your non-nurse significant other

    sh1901 replied to Moogie's topic in Nursing Humor

    My mother in law was staying with us last year after a pretty long stay in the hospital. She knows I'm in nursing school, so she acts like I'm her nurse in the hospital. She has fibromyalgia and...

  10. Most Embarassing Nursing Moments

    sh1901 replied to Jessiedog's topic in Nursing Humor

    This is a fantastic thread! I'm still a student, but I am really enjoying all the stories!! Thanks to all of you for

  11. Test without any use?

    sh1901 replied to DeLovely's topic in General Students

    I had to take the NET (Nursing Entrance Test) before I started NS, but it wasn't anywhere close to $266!! That seems like a ridiculous extra cost to me. Everything is so expensive your first...

  12. Best site for used textbooks?

    sh1901 replied to Tryxie's topic in General Students

    I started last semester and had to get 13 books. Getting them through the book store was going to be about $1200. I used textbooks.com and amazon and got all of my books for about $700. I trust...

  13. Vent - Uniforms!!

    sh1901 replied to sh1901's topic in General Students

    Everyone has their uniform horror stories....I've read many of them on here, which is why I almost didn't post anything. I was just so fired up! I know that compared to many, many people that my...

  14. I have a "weak" stomach.

    sh1901 replied to JeniLyn's topic in General Students

    It's like I have this internal switch, flip it up, I'm just me and gag if I get to close to the kitty litter box, flip it down and I'm the nurse who patiently cleans up the vomit from the...

  15. What's in your clinical book bag?

    sh1901 replied to SANART11's topic in General Students

    I have my stethoscope, pen light, scissors, drug book, notecards (with various information on them), pathophys book, RNnotes (I agree with pp, these are GREAT), snacks, notebook paper, my syllabus,...

  16. do you type or write your notes?

    sh1901 replied to Zoe*aka*studentnurse's topic in General Students

    When I read a chapter I type up some notes/an outline of the material. I hand write my notes in lecture and then usually add them into my outline. This gives me a very comprehensive study guide of...

  17. Vent - Uniforms!!

    sh1901 replied to sh1901's topic in General Students

    I guess that a uniform that I hate will just have to be a character building aspect of school.

  18. anyone going to CCAC for nursing???

    sh1901 replied to HeavenBound0530's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Congrats Mochabean!! For me it has been a tough road, but completely

  19. Vent - Uniforms!!

    sh1901 replied to sh1901's topic in General Students

    To answer your question Morte, no, our names are not embroidered on our pants. If my pants have held up well enough after 3 more semesters of clinical, I would consider passing them on...the shirt I...

  20. anyone going to CCAC for nursing???

    sh1901 replied to HeavenBound0530's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I am not a fast track student but started last Spring. I'll be a 102 student this fall at Allegheny campus. I can say that I did not have even 1 instructor for 101 that I felt was out to "eat their...

  21. Vent - Uniforms!!

    sh1901 replied to sh1901's topic in General Students

    I have other polo shirts in my wardrobe and they all fit quite well. There was no "good fit" for these shirts. They are just plain awkward. I've tried tucking it in, I've tried pulling it out -...

  22. A Sticky Situation?

    sh1901 replied to anon695's topic in General Students

    When we studied this last semester, I had one instructor who gave some pretty good advice in these situations, and trust me, as a class, we threw everything we could think of at her. Here are a...

  23. anyone studying while on summer break?

    sh1901 replied to scrublifenurse10's topic in General Students

    I have not done a whole lot yet this summer. I did a little NCLEX review, but not much else. I just starting purchasing my text books for next semester though and I plan to start to brush up a bit...

  24. I'm Done!!!

    sh1901 replied to chevyv's topic in General Students

    Congratulations!!!

  25. Working for Mercy

    sh1901 replied to hownic23's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Just as an FYI - Mercy is now part of the UPMC system, so some of their policies have probably changed. Best of luck to
