  2. Classes

    shakeitup82 replied to Francis77's topic in General Students

    It really depends on your study habits so you really have to tailor it to yourself. One big mistake I've seen a lot of my friends make is just try and memorize everything. This may work short term but...

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

    shakeitup82 replied to hunnybaby24's topic in General Students

    Luckily, I chose to live in themed housing my freshman year, so everybody on my floor was some sort of health major. It was one of the best decisions I made! We all became really good friends so we...

  6. Nursing student taking drugs

    shakeitup82 replied to txpatches's topic in General Students

    All I'm saying is that the poster said it wasn't a CRIME to which you told him to cite his source because you haven't heard of any states where it's not a crime. He didn't say it wasn't ILLEGAL.

  7. Nursing student taking drugs

    shakeitup82 replied to txpatches's topic in General Students

    First of all, not in Alaska. Secondly, just because you pay a fine doesn't make it a CRIME. If I counted correctly there are 11 states where it is decriminalized to an extent. It's basically like...

  8. Nursing student taking drugs

    shakeitup82 replied to txpatches's topic in General Students

    Not true, I go to school in MA and we decriminalized marijuana possession for up to one ounce. You just pay $100, they take it, and you can be on your way with no further

  10. study abroad

    shakeitup82 replied to ou2010's topic in General Students

    I know at my school it's basically impossible to do a traditional study abroad for nursing, unless you did it very early on with all pre-reqs. I've never heard of anybody doing this though. For people...

  11. cheating classmate

    shakeitup82 replied to picurn10's topic in General Students

    I have a similar situation in my nursing classes. There is one girl who cheats on EVERYTHING. It's so frustrating because we would all be stressing over an A&P or Microbio exam we just took and...

  12. Class sizes

    shakeitup82 replied to sproeber89's topic in General Students

    There are about 90 nursing students in my year and we all have Pathophysiology, Pharmocology, and Nursing Interventions together. Our skills lab for Interventions is 20 people and out Developmental...

  13. Loan Forgiveness Programs

    shakeitup82 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hey everybody! I'm still in nursing school but I'm thinking ahead! I was wondering what everybody's experiences were with loan forgiveness programs, either through the government or with hospitals you...

  14. Course Load

    shakeitup82 replied to Bo Shoi Ming's topic in General Students

    You should be fine I think. It will be hard but you won't drive yourself crazy over it. I took A&P, Microbiology, Sociology, and Psychology in one semester and did pretty well (As and A-s and a B...

  16. Poll: What do you love about the NICU?

    shakeitup82 replied to carolina_girl's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I absolutely love this thread! I just finished reading every post and it further convinced me that the NICU is where I want to be when I graduate! I'm only a sophomore in a BSN program but I've been...

  18. Nursing student taking drugs

    shakeitup82 replied to txpatches's topic in General Students

    For those of you who say you would report a student if you knew they were smoking pot in their free time, do you also think underaged students who drink on the weekends should be reported too? I don't...

  19. Nursing student taking drugs

    shakeitup82 replied to txpatches's topic in General Students

    I don't think anybody here is saying that if a classmate is coming to class or clinical high that they shouldn't be reported. Obviously this is a serious issue and something needs to be done before...

  20. Nursing student taking drugs

    shakeitup82 replied to txpatches's topic in General Students

    So what about underaged student nurses who drink on the weekends? That's breaking the law so should they all be reported and kicked out too? My nursing class would go from 90 to about 15. I don't...

  22. Nursing co-ops in CT

    shakeitup82 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I know this is a long shot but is anybody on here from Northeastern University and has done a nursing co-op in Connecticut? I have my first co-op over the summer and I decided to go home for it so I...
