  1. bad clinical day

    MrazFan replied to carlarenee02's topic in General Students

    I'm sorry you're having a rough time. I would ask her exactly what I am doing wrong or what is not meeting her expectations, and then work on those things. She may or may not be constructive in her...

  2. I passed meds for the first time.

    MrazFan replied to deemarys's topic in General Students

    I agree- do whatever YOU are the most comfortable doing, that you know works for you. If you are comfortable and confident doing it a certain way, even if it is a longer way or whatever, at least...

  3. Time well spent before nursing school

    MrazFan replied to Christine43's topic in General Students

    Congrats to you! Brush up on your math and your A&P if you need to. But more importantly, take this time to RELAX a little and do things you enjoy doing. Once you are actually in NS, you will...

  4. Working Full-Time

    MrazFan replied to Fedwork10's topic in General Students

    It can be done, but it sure isn't easy. It all depends on your individual circumstance, if you have children or other outside obligations, etc. At my school the instructors advise against working...

  5. Help, I have clinical tomorrow

    MrazFan replied to Musicnme81's topic in General Students

    I don't know how your school does things, but my school requires us to make up a "med card" for each med we pass. We still need to know what we're doing, but having the med cards that we've made up in...

  6. dismissed from my ADN program HELP

    MrazFan replied to Laura77598's topic in General Students

    First of all, I want to say that I'm really sorry you're going through this. Your grades show that you are a good student, BUT that doesn't necessarily translate to being a good nurse. You have to...

  7. The real reason I'm freaking out

    MrazFan replied to NewNurseAlert's topic in General Students

    There are always going to be people who use connections or try to take the easy way around, in nursing school and outside of it. Just keep your head held high, and perservere. Nursing school and...

  8. Just burnt out

    MrazFan replied to missjennmb's topic in General Students

    NS is overwhelming and if you ask anyone, ANYONE who has either gone through it or is going through it, they will tell you that. It challenges us in ways that a lot of us never imagined it would. So...

  9. do you have good clinical instructors?

    MrazFan replied to picurn10's topic in General Students

    I am in my first semester and at the very beginning I was worried that my clinical instructor was going to be "one of those" instructors who are drill sargeants and are horrible. I could not have...

  10. What makes a bad nurse?

    MrazFan replied to cpo_one's topic in General Students

    Somebody who doesn't care about other people, someone with little or no patience, lack of analytical abilities, somebody that doesn't like problem solving or working independently. Somebody with poor...

  11. It's starting to 'come together'....

    MrazFan replied to LovingLearning's topic in General Students

    :yeah:That's really awesome- good for you! I'm still in my first semester, and I'm nowhere near being able to do that. I hope that I am able to get to where you are in second

  12. Things you would love to say to your fellow nursing students!

    MrazFan replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    When you spend the entire lecture time looking at your MySpace/Facebook/whatever that isn't class-related, or you sneak out 5 minutes after the instructor begins lecture hoping nobody will notice, and...

  13. Study advice for a husband

    MrazFan replied to NurseStudentHusband's topic in General Students

    Nursing school is an entirely different animal than anything your wife has likely ever experienced before. It is intense. She may just be having a hard time making the adjustment. Or she could just...

  14. Snarky classmate + anxiety issues

    MrazFan replied to pinkiepie_RN's topic in General Students

    Could it be that this other person's snarkiness and mean-ness is her outlet for her own anxiety about clinical? Or maybe she just doesn't realize she's doing it? Either way, I agree with the others,...

  15. What makes a shoe a "nurse's shoe"?

    MrazFan replied to JeanettePNP's topic in General Students

    Try Danskos- they are a little pricier, but SO worth the money. Seriously, my feet don't even hurt after clinical even though I've been on them for hours. All the nurses at my clinical site have...

  16. Best Advice for Bad Procrastination??

    MrazFan replied to NursingRocks1998's topic in General Students

    I'm not really a procrastinator, probably the exact opposite. The only advice I can give you regarding procrastinating is to stop it. Stop it now. It will catch up to you eventually, and it will...

  17. Nightmares

    MrazFan replied to aerorunner80's topic in General Students

    Yes! It's crazy! I mentioned it to a friend of mine who is a NP and she said that she STILL has nightmares, and she's been out of school for a very long time... Guess nursing school kinda screws...

  18. Am I cut out for this??

    MrazFan replied to Britt711's topic in General Students

    Oh my gosh- I could have written your post. I practically ran from the building on that first day, and I cried all that afternoon. Wondering if I'd made a mistake by deciding to leave my job, a job...

  19. HELP, I NEED ADVICE

    MrazFan replied to brandy1215's topic in General Students

    I agree with mybrowneyedgirl. Speak to your instructor- maybe they can give you some tips or pointers, or help you identify where your strengths and weaknesses are, so you can focus on what you need...

  20. Angry with school problem - NEED ADVICE!!!

    MrazFan replied to scrublifenurse10's topic in General Students

    It seems like every school has a group of those students, who just don't seem to care, and don't take it as seriously as they should. :icon_roll Keep your chin up. Don't let it discourage you. We...

  21. Ways to motivate and reward students

    MrazFan replied to AOx1's topic in General Students

    I am a fairly new nursing student, but what I would really be appreciative of for a reward would be the opportunity to "throw out" your worst assignment/quiz score at the end of the semester, so it...
