    Denver School of Nursing--BSN experience

    I just saw a DSN student at PVH in Fort Collins yesterday. I had no idea they came out this far North. First time I have ever seen

    Don't let yourself get sucked in by BM'ers and DG'ers

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

    I am very glad I could help. Years and years ago I was surrounded by so much negativity and it definitely took it's toll on me. I finally had to end relationships with those people or keep them at a...

    Don't let yourself get sucked in by BM'ers and DG'ers

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

    Yes, I imagine that would be frustrating. Mine is just more an ADD thing, I have to be moving. Doodling, on my phone (touch screen so it doesn't make any noise), something. Yet I retain the stuff and...

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

    LOL I am guilty on a lot of this stuff, like facebook and day dreaming and stuff. I just can't stay focused in class with a lot of the teachers. But I never sit around complaining either and I still...

    Overheard "You're there to make money, not to talk," in clinical

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

    Maybe the appointments should last longer then 15 mins. As much as they cost, it surely seems reasonable. A lot of people probably only come once a year because 1) it's called a yearly physical for a...

    "I have 4 free hours?!" oh my god, a lifetime! What do you do at the drop of a hat?

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

    LOL I thought Piranha was ABSURD! I love movies though and go a lot. My oldest son is my Scary movie partner because my husband loathes horror movies. Last one we saw was Insidious. I have free...

    How long for test grades?

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

    Depends on the teacher, we have some teachers that take days, and some that take hours. I love the ones that do it in hours. I don't get test anxiety, I get POST Test

    accomodation suggestions needed for UWO

    I googled it and it looks like it's in Canada. I don't see a Canada specific forum, unless I am missing it. Or I would move

    Student physical exam

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

    Look into your local health dept. or even walgreens for vaccinations. It can be a lot cheaper. As far as titers, if you need new ones I don't know what you can do, but if you have already had titers...

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

    From what everyone has told us, this is a completely normal feeling for a while after graduating. I start my practicum tomorrow, we are done with everything else. I feel like I am ready to be done...

    Anyone made it through Nsg school WITHOUT caffeine , Adderall, or Red Bull??

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

    I have been drinking Diet Pepsi and Diet Dr. Pepper since I was 15. Way way way before nursing school and it does nothing for me in giving me a pick me up. I like the taste and the carbonation. I...

    Retaking Physiology and accept an F?

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to Jade8626's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's what these 2 people thought until they failed out. LOL But they also had a total different way of thinking and they just could never grasp the way Nursing School was. I am not sure how they did...

    Waste of Time?

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to KareBear0609's topic in General Students

    We didn't have an option to take Pharm before hand. We had 2 semesters of it during our program, but we had the option to take Patho before hand and Nutrition. I was on a wait list anyway so I got all...

    Waste of Time?

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to KareBear0609's topic in General Students

    You need to make sure it would transfer to your BSN program. Schools can be very nit picky on which classes match theirs. So that one might not satisfy the one the BSN might require. (if they have one...

    Acceptable Behavior?

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

    I wouldn't say anything in a case like this. I wouldn't say this is acceptable behaviour, but it sounds like the patient and the nurse have a rapport going. But something like this, as a new student,...

    Waitlist length & what to do while waiting

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to jenden's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Dishing out all that money right away wasn't an option, I also moved to a new state and did most of my pre-reqs in a previous state. The way it all worked out was good for me, it sucked to wait that...

    psych help!!!

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

    I wouldn't advise faking it, I would suggest letting down your fears and trying to learn something from it. Majority of your patients in the hospital are going to be going through Psych stuff. It's a...
