  1. I Think I am NOT Going to NS

    kayty2339 replied to Donald11's topic in General Students

    I guess I don't really understand what's wrong with the exit exam. I wouldn't let that keep you out of nursing school if that's truly where your heart is. Why change your whole major and career choice...

  2. How many uniforms should I buy?

    kayty2339 replied to Rnstudent2011's topic in General Students

    My school makes us where our uniforms during class and clinicals. I had class/clinicals 4 (and sometimes 5) days a week and have 3 uniforms. I usually will wash my uniforms a couple times a week, but...

  3. Are A's really not practical in nursing school?

    kayty2339 replied to PaperPencil's topic in General Students

    While I think A's are much harder to get in nursing school depending on how you do with NCLEX style tests, it is possible. I made an A in Fundamentals, will make an A in Mental Health and a B in...

  4. Help, I've got a crush!

    kayty2339 replied to eb2esrun's topic in General Students

    Personally, I think the boundary line was already crossed just by emailing the lady. The only way I think it would be okay to have anything to do with this guy is if you ran in to him in the future...

  5. Coming from a new RN, don't rush through school.

    kayty2339 replied to chuckz's topic in General Students

    Thanks for the insight. I realize that I'm going to be REALLY learning nursing once I get finished with school and get my first job. I'm in an ADN program and finish in May 2011. A lot of people are...

  6. RN or BSN for veteran with family?

    kayty2339 replied to Mrock4's topic in General Students

    Personally, I think going the ADN route to get your RN first, then doing your BSN later while you are already an RN is a better way to go. You get done faster, and in my area, ADN new grads are...

  7. Does this seem like an insane amount of prereqs?

    kayty2339 replied to milo2145's topic in General Students

    looks like the pre-reqs for a BSN, ADN does not have that many pre-reqs and when you are done, you can still get the same job with almost the same pay as a BSN grad. Have you thought of looking into...

  8. What nursing book can you not live without?

    kayty2339 replied to sunkissedmspriss's topic in General Students

    In fundamentals (Fundamentals of Success, Davis Series) Now: Med/Surge reviews and rationals, princeton Saunders NCLEX review book Med/Surge success, davis series Psychiatric Success, Davis series...

  9. Why are some nurses so rude to students?

    kayty2339 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm in my second semester of clinicals and am on a cardiac telemetry floor. Some of the nurses are friendly and helpful, but most on this floor are just rude all the time. It seems that the whole...

  10. Why are some nurses so rude to students?

    kayty2339 replied to kayty2339's topic in General Nursing

    You're right, I am defensive sometimes...and argumentative. Mainly when I'm stressed out. And I have been majorly stressed out lately. Even though I'm quick to jump back to people being rude on here...

  11. Why are some nurses so rude to students?

    kayty2339 replied to kayty2339's topic in General Nursing

    How was I not able to connect the dots between student and nurse??? Not once did I ever say or even think that we are one in the same...please explain what you are talking about. BTW, I appreciate all...

  12. Why are some nurses so rude to students?

    kayty2339 replied to kayty2339's topic in General Nursing

    Right...I think the hospital revolves around me. Thanks for your in depth psychiatric analysis of me by reading a few posts on a website that people come to to vent or to get things off of their...

  13. Why are some nurses so rude to students?

    kayty2339 replied to kayty2339's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you piperknits!

  14. Why are some nurses so rude to students?

    kayty2339 replied to kayty2339's topic in General Nursing

    Most of you are explaining clinical experiences in a whole different light than what I experience myself. Maybe it's the way my school does it, or my hospital, I don't know. But for me, the nurses...

  15. Why are some nurses so rude to students?

    kayty2339 replied to kayty2339's topic in General Nursing

    i don't follow a nurse and i have never been taught anything from a nurse from any of my clinical experiences so far. we get assigned patients, find the nurse for those patients, get report, then the...

  16. Why are some nurses so rude to students?

    kayty2339 replied to kayty2339's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for your input. This makes a lot of sense. I heard there is a high turnover rate on this floor and this is probably why. I'm going to try to get my rotation in another hospital next semester to...

  17. Why are some nurses so rude to students?

    kayty2339 replied to kayty2339's topic in General Nursing

    You are right in that there is a lot that I can't do yet, but I guess for the pts that don't need a whole lot of attention, the nurses just aren't in there checking up on them. I had a pt yesterday...

  18. Why are some nurses so rude to students?

    kayty2339 replied to kayty2339's topic in General Nursing

    I see where you are coming from. What I wonder though, if it's their responsibility, then why are they completely depending on us to take care of the patients they are assigned and not even once going...

  19. For Fun - Things You Want to Buy Once You're a Nurse

    kayty2339 replied to Multicollinearity's topic in General Students

    Oh and I also want to start fixing up my house, we have so many little things that we need to do around here that we can't afford to do right now....May 2011 can't come soon enough! Then just need to...

  20. For Fun - Things You Want to Buy Once You're a Nurse

    kayty2339 replied to Multicollinearity's topic in General Students

    I want to save a portion of each of my checks to go toward paying off my credit cards....then once those are paid off I want to buy a new car. Probably a Chevy Traverse or some kind of nice midsize...

  21. What should first year students brush up on before school starts??

    kayty2339 replied to Waitingtill2010's topic in General Students

    I took A&P about 6 years before starting the nursing program. Before I started school I was also worried about that and wanted to know what to brush up on....I didn't end up really brushing up on...

  22. Book recommendations to prepare for school this fall?

    kayty2339 replied to emptyboxcars's topic in General Students

    I bought the tabers dictionary and haven't opened it once...waste of money to me. I use my laptop a lot when I'm studying/in class, so anytime I don't know a word, I just google it. It's a lot faster...

  23. NS Recommended Books Help

    kayty2339 replied to Maymie's topic in General Students

    I have to disagree with the 1st response to you about the fundamentals success book. Everybody in my class found that book very helpful. It has tons of nclex practice questions for each topic you will...

  24. Any mothers in nursing school with preschool-age children?

    kayty2339 replied to emptyboxcars's topic in General Students

    Well, the fundamentals success book was more helpful through the semester. It has so many practice questions for each section and you don't really get a lot of fundamentals type nclex questions in the...

  25. Any mothers in nursing school with preschool-age children?

    kayty2339 replied to emptyboxcars's topic in General Students

    Brushing up on AandP could help, but in fundamentals, I don't know how much it will help (depends on your school curriculum). It wasn't until 2nd semester for me that we have started really getting...
