    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to Waiting222's topic in General Students

    I just ordered my books for next semester yesterday and a 2010-2011 NCLEX book to add to my others LOL. I am not one to study, but when I know I don't "Have to" study I am more oK with looking things...

    Second year of nursing school harder/easier

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to Waiting222's topic in General Students

    I hear it both ways also. I heard first semester was the hardest but I thought second semester was harder and so did most of my friends. I have heard from instructors that second year is easier then...

    What do you wear to class?

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

    In my Classes that had labs like Chem, Organic Chem, Micro, A&P 1+1 we couldn't wear opened toe shoes or shorts but for obvious reasons. All our classes where no chemicals and stuff are involved...

    Where are all of the "experienced nurses hiding?"

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

    Or they are thinking about becoming a nurse and trying to get a realistic idea of what nursing is all about. I know it sure helped me a lot in knowing what I was in for before I was a nursing student...

    Frustrated and Nervous

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to cupcake231's topic in General Students

    Well in nursing you're not getting your blood drawn all the time, and if being around other people having stuff done doesn't bother you at all you should be

    Starting Nursing School In the Fall

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

    If you search things like "tips before nursing school" or preparing for nursing school or even advice for nursing school in the search feature on this board, it will pull up lots of threads for you...

    Do you find the National type tests easier than your NS ones?

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

    Yeah I found a lot of the stuff on the Med/Surge we hadn't covered yet either. We have 3 semesters of Med/Surge so I don't know if that was why but it made me worry if we needed to know the stuff for...

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to ShannonRN2010's topic in General Students

    I am so thankful our school doesn't do stuff like this. Our passing of failing is depended on Exams only. When we have projects worth grades you still have to get a 77% min total on exams to be...

    Administering pain meds to narcotic seekers

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

    How do you know they are drug seeking and not in real pain? Have you dealt with severe chronic pain issues? Nursing is not a field that allows for your personal judgments to get in the way, when you...

    communication assignment

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

    You don't need anything more specific IMO. All you need to know is it's a 5 year old and in the hospital since this is all about communication, you will have assessments to do, procedures most likely...

    I'm not good with stuff like this at all but this site has been a huge help to me, it might make it more personal if you had a way to create real people in it. Like a nurse coming home and sitting...

    Did anyone else have a difficult time in A&P II ?( have to take a second time)

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

    Not always the best suggestion IMO. I have had an easy professor, he was the nicest person, made the class very easy, we would play jeopardy right before the test and it was questions direct from the...

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

    It can also vary a lot person to person. I struggled a lot in A&P 1&2 but did good in Chem and Organic Chem and did great in Micro. I had to take my A&P

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

    Read up on Ericksons and Piagets theories for that age and I bet you can find tons of examples. They are probably wanting this. Specifics for this age group, things unique to them. Stick to the...

    Yes I have, it's one of the things that drove me to be a nurse because I knew the kind of nurse I would want to be. (90% of the nurses I have had have been great). But sometimes I really do think...
