    sh1901 replied to LovingLearning's topic in General Students

    Lovin Learnin - I would probably have done the same thing that you did. I do understand what you mean though when you say that the situation was "strange". I think that you did a great job meeting...

  5. Daily planner

    sh1901 replied to JeanettePNP's topic in General Students

    I'm a relatively tech-savvy person, but for the purposes of school, I use an old-fashioned wire-bound academic planner. It has all of my school/home life items on it. My work items are on my...

  8. Does it ever annoy you when people say nursing school is easy?

    sh1901 replied to guiltysins's topic in General Students

    I'm there with you!! While I do see the point that it seems "easier" to get into nursing school, why does it seem that people misconstrue this to think that nursing school itself is easy? There is a...

  10. Homework before nursing school starts??

    sh1901 replied to ccstudent's topic in General Students

    I'll reiterate what one of the pp's already said. I think that the first year (or semester, depending on the student and the school) is the hardest. Not only are you trying to get your head wrapped...

  11. What makes a bad nurse?

    sh1901 replied to cpo_one's topic in General Students

    I'd like to throw dishonesty into the hat. If a nurse can't be honest with herself, her coworkers and her patients, then she/he should not be a

  12. versus

    sh1901 replied to psySins's topic in General Students

    I think that may depend on what you are rating the competency of and in what kind of facility you are rating this. I find that people I know who work in nursing homes and are RN's say that they spend...

  13. Finished with that first year of nursing school?

    sh1901 replied to ICAN!'s topic in General Students

    If it is not a part of your curriculum, study up on calculation of dosages. It's not technically a part of our curriculum, but we have a book and are supposed to self-study. I was fortunate that I...

  16. Why do nursing stuents hate eachother??

    sh1901 replied to midnight*sky's topic in General Students

    I don't get that vibe from my class at all. We are all trying to work together to get through as much as possible since there is so much that needs to be accomplished!! Some of the behavior in the OP...

  17. What keeps you going?

    sh1901 replied to markuskristian's topic in General Students

    My motivation is the fact that when I am done I can have that RN at the end of my name and a new career that I have always wanted. That said, sometimes I just want to SLEEP!! I really miss sleep! I...

    sh1901 replied to MermiesGreatGig's topic in General Students

    sh1901 replied to catlvr's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    There are many nursing homes in Pgh. and although all of them allow the three 12's, some of them do. It's just a matter of checking it out and seeing what they offer. A couple places I can think of...

  23. Any other students with special health considerations?

    sh1901 replied to cara922's topic in General Students

    I have rheumatoid arthritis. Fortunately, it is not a severe case, and I've had it since I was 3, so I am more than a pro and knowing my own limitations and managing my symptoms. I don't really...

  24. Dealing with life changes in nursing school...Vent!

    sh1901 replied to Mommyto2and2's topic in General Students

    I personally think that you have every right to be upset. First, this is YOUR house, why should you have to be limited to your bedroom for ANYTHING. It is unfortunate that your SIL has hit such hard...

  25. Help with dosage calc problems!

    sh1901 replied to miss_c's topic in General Students

    My instructor for dosage calculations said that they do still use grains sometimes for narcotics because they are so strong and given in lower dosages. Who knows if that is the case in "real life"...
