  2. Is it feasible to work during nursing school?

    sh1901 replied to EastBayCAStudent's topic in General Students

    I work full time, have a family and go to school. It can be done, but you have to be willing to give certain things up and stay focused on school. It's difficult at times, but worth it in the end....

  4. Need to Vent.....

    sh1901 replied to Kimmipoo's topic in General Students

    I'm very structured with my time, and I have at least 1 full day a week devoted to nothing but family time. This way we can watch movies, go out and do some activity, whatever it is that we want to...

  9. Are there clinicals the 1st semester of nursing school?

    sh1901 replied to JadenRN TO BE's topic in General Students

    I think that it depends on your school, we had clinicals right away. I've also seen some posts on here that seem to indicate that they don't have clinicals the first semester. I would check with...

  12. reporting patient abuse

    sh1901 replied to Theone40's topic in General Students

    For the patient abuse there should be an anonymous way that you can report the abuse. This way, you can "save face" for your school so that they don't lose the sight, but the abuse can hopefully be...

  13. Nurse Practitioner vs. Physician Assistant

    sh1901 replied to Amadea1254's topic in General Students

    I think that in some cases (although not all) it may also come down to compensation. I hate to say this (becasue I would LOVE to continue my education to the NP level), but I believe that PA's are...

  14. I want 2 be a nurse, but I'm scared!!!

    sh1901 replied to MOM2BOYS0902's topic in General Students

    I agree with the pp, the learning style in NS is very different. Keep your A&P book for when you need a refresher, but don't stress about it if you can't remember all the muscles in the body....

  15. Question about the NET

    sh1901 replied to Jim P's topic in General Students

    I think that you are worked up about nothing. Your scores appear to be more than adequate and your work ethic appears to be intact. Just be prepared to do the work and hang in

  16. most difficult part of nursing school?

    sh1901 replied to bmr7's topic in General Students

    I think that I agree with all of the pp's. If I had to pick just one thing though, it would probably be the enormous amount of reading and the total lack of time in which to do the

  17. school papers?

    sh1901 replied to Logos's topic in General Students

    I would toss them - the powerpoints are based on the material in the books and if you need to look something up you aren't going to flip through an endless stack of powerpoints - you are going to look...

  20. Nursing diagnosis for ear infection

    sh1901 replied to Idaho Murse's topic in General Students

    I'm not trying to negate anything and no where did I indicate that this was a solitary diagnosis - I said "if you are creating a prioritized list...", use of the word LIST would indicate more than...

    sh1901 replied to Lovelymo79's topic in General Students

    Hi Lovelymo79 - I'm in an evening/weekend program because I have to work. Honestly, I do not feel that I am missing anything. The biggest difference was when we were doing our clinical in LTC...

  25. Nursing diagnosis for ear infection

    sh1901 replied to Idaho Murse's topic in General Students

    I think that risk for injury would also apply. However, if you are creating a prioritized list, acute pain would probably be at the top. In most scenarios, you want to go with your ABC's first,...
