    I Want To Quit

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to citylights89's topic in General Students

    Do you have a good scope? I have trouble hearing lung sounds a lot. Even sometimes heart sounds. I have trouble feeling the pulses in the feet also. I just wonder if all of a sudden you started...

    Is there anything I can work on before starting NS?

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to missdixie023's topic in General Students

    How long until you stop feeling like you got your butt kicked?

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

    I really loved the Hospital clinicals myself too (99% of the time), but I still would feel exhausted. I did the 1-11:30 shift though so I am not sure if that had something to do with it. I would get...

    Calculation question

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to tigerlily345's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I am in RN school, but after year one we can take a class in the summer and sit for LPN boards if we want. I am in my first year and we do problems like this all the time. Not in pharm class though,...

    How long until you stop feeling like you got your butt kicked?

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

    Well that is what I meant, I felt exhausted. I wasn't use to feeling that way. Last semester when I just had the 1 8 hr day a week, that to felt exhausting. A lot of us were so out of it the next day...

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

    For med surge we were doing 2 10 hour days a week and although I enjoyed clinicals a lot, between that and classes I really felt like I lost all the spare time I had first

    Prescription fish oil? You have got to be kidding me!

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

    I saw a commercial to lengthen and thicken eyelashes. I stared at the tv and thought SERIOUSLY??? Although fish oil is found all over and I don't get the need for it to be by prescription (although...

    Is there anything I can work on before starting NS?

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to missdixie023's topic in General Students

    I would say both, it's a difficult class for most and it comes up a lot in Clinicals and your nursing class. Often have Drug questions on my med/surge exams, or ob/peds

    I Want To Quit

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to citylights89's topic in General Students

    Only you know if you can do it or not. The only thing that worries me is you're basing your wanting to quit mainly on your emotions right now if that makes sense, and I know what that is like. When I...

    I Want To Quit

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to citylights89's topic in General Students

    you still would have wasted a lot of time even on the Associates, I had no prior college experience and spent 1.5 years doing pre reqs full time (and the pre reqs for the pre reqs) and sat on a wait...

    Health Care Reform: Should we all go per-diem?

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    This is something I read years ago that has always stood out to me. Thought it was fitting here. This is a VERY simple way to understand the tax laws. Read on - it does make you think!! Let's put...

    Health Care Reform: Should we all go per-diem?

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    This sounds a lot like of the perks the hospital has that I hope to work at and where I do clinicals. When I read over their benefits I was so shocked, never had seen employers that seemed to care so...

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

    I didn't get that impression at all and it looks like majority of the other posters didn't either, so no worried. I know when I did clinicals in the LTC facility this worried me even more and it...

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to citylights89's topic in General Students

    I have felt like this a few times, mainly when I was doing bad in school and now because the weather is getting better. When my grades in my last class started slipping I was really reflecting if this...
