    All electronics banned?

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to betakurt's topic in General Students

    Yes that is on my list too. Last semester a girl behind me kept smacking her gum all class. I thought there was cow eating behind me (which chewing with your mouth open is another one for me), than...

    All electronics banned?

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to betakurt's topic in General Students

    Yeah I wouldn't expect when I am working as a nurse for it to be quiet. Just like I don't expect clinicals to be a quiet atmosphere. I do expect pre and post conference to be a quiet respectful...

    All electronics banned?

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to betakurt's topic in General Students

    Yeah, funny they don't allow noise during tests, why is that? Oh yeah, because people should be able to focus on their exam in a quiet environment. Just like when people are in a meeting, or lecture...

    All electronics banned?

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to betakurt's topic in General Students

    I have dealt with it for as long as I can remember, obviously I wouldn't still be in school if I couldn't handle it. It still drives me up the wall though. A pen clicking is more so annoying. It's...

    All electronics banned?

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to betakurt's topic in General Students

    I love facebook, I keep in touch with all my friends and family all over the country easily. I can update all them at the same time with pics and life and stuff and keep in touch with all of them in...

    Have any "romantic" relationships developed in your nursing program?

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to mell260's topic in General Students

    We started with 3 guys, one guy was notorious for hooking up (not sure how :|) and had messed around with a clinical instructor. Was rumored to have gotten a girl in class pregnant (which I don't...

    So if you get under an 80 do you kick yourself out of the program?? Ours is 77% 85% for B and 94% for an

    Are You Being Bullied in the Classroom

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to Jayfa's topic in General Students

    I haven't been bullied since JHS. I got picked on in Elementary School at times and in JHS and in JHS I finally took a stand and haven't had problems since. I would stand up for myself in any bullying...

    Seemed a little passive aggressive to me, like meant to be snarky but added the smiley to act like it wasn't. But hey, that's just

    to those of you who had the summer off...

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to anonymousstudent's topic in General Students

    That was the same here. Our program doesn't run in the summer. A lot of students did co reqs during the summer. I already had mine done so I didn't need to do any classes this summer. I only have Core...

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to anonymousstudent's topic in General Students

    My previous school was on quarters and the there nursing program had the summer off as well. I surely am not going to feel guilty for having a summer off though. My 4 kids enjoyed all the time we had...

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to anonymousstudent's topic in General Students

    Frankly I deserved and earned my summer off. So if in a few weeks I want to complain and whine, I will. I worked harder during my pre reqs to get all my co reqs done early too, so I could have my...

    Do you think you'll/have you put on weight in NS?

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in General Students

    That sounds just like my husband, although now that he is getting older his metabolism is slowing a very little bit. He is doing the p90x and is gaining some more muscle. If you are wanting to gain...

    Do you think you'll/have you put on weight in NS?

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in General Students

    Actually upping your protein and cutting back on other things can help you lose weight. Protein is good for muscle. But unless your weight lifting and eating a lot on top of the added protein, the...

    So how/what do people react when you tell them you're a student nurse?

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to chibisam's topic in General Students

    Everyone has told me congrats, they hear nursing school is really hard and I am picking an admirable profession and than usually everyone asks me for medical advice

    Helpful and Interesting Reads

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to seferinoswitch's topic in General Students

    I read another book yesterday called "if I stay" very sad and tragic but a good ending. It's semi medical related. LOL but only because it's about someone in a coma that is in a in between state, and...

    Do you think you'll/have you put on weight in NS?

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in General Students

    I was able to finally start to lose weight in school. I gained a lot of weight after my last pregnancy from a lot of back and pelvis problems. I started physical therapy at the start of my school year...

    How often you see your boyfriend while in nursing school

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to CaliforniaRNnow's topic in General Students

    Exactly, you see countless posts on here of people hating nursing school because it takes every minute of their free time and this and that. It doesn't have to. Study smart and you will have enough...

    How often you see your boyfriend while in nursing school

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to CaliforniaRNnow's topic in General Students

    Just a little bit of advice, I think it's important to make time for your friends and family and SELF during Nursing School. It CAN be done. Nursing school doesn't HAVE to consume every waking bit of...

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to yesitslaura's topic in General Students

    This was our Poor Folks meal growing up but I always loved it and will make it now and I hate cooking. Brown up some meat, add the brown gravy packets per instructions of the packets. Let it thicken...

    Is anyone commuting really far away?

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to ashleyisawesome's topic in General Students

    I used to commute to Greeley close to UNC from just Fort Collins, I-25 can get so crazy. People seem to go crazy when it comes to driving in rain and snow

    Would you ever own a motorcycle? YES or NO?

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to borinick1492's topic in General Nursing

    That is not the only danger. In Cali motorcycles are allowed to cruise down the middle lanes. Very dangerous. Also many motorcycle riders are careless, go to fast, weave in and out of cars, all...

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to borinick1492's topic in General Nursing

    I used to be totally against them. My dad got in a wreck, broke both legs and had to somehow get back on and ride himself to the hospital because it was in middle of no where. Board flew off a truck...

    Is anyone commuting really far away?

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to ashleyisawesome's topic in General Students

    My commute at my college where I live now is easy. If I have Clinicals at one particular hospital it is 40 mins away. But so far I only had 3 days there. Now my previous school where I did my pre reqs...
