    Christmas gift ideas

    Always_Learning replied to CardioNRS~DAWN's topic in General Students

    I think it's really cute to give a "relaxation kit" - I have done this for people at work before. It's more for the humor than anything, but the items can be used, too. For example, throw in a travel...

    Nursing School Drama queens

    Always_Learning replied to dinah77's topic in General Students

    This is yet another reason I'm glad I discovered allnurses.com. It was here that I learned (before I started nursing school) that it was a good idea to keep grades to yourself. I have done so, and I'm...

    Always_Learning replied to kangamangus's topic in General Students

    Eh, they're just opinions! And, in the sage words of an elder I know, "Opinions are like buttholes...everyone's got one. And sometimes they stink." ROFL!! (Not talking about anyone in particular...

    what do you regret?

    Always_Learning replied to Rosa523's topic in General Students

    OK, so now to actually contribute something... I regret being so hard on myself. Had I known that everyone felt stupid but was reluctant to say so, I might've cut myself some slack. Go into nursing...

    Always_Learning replied to kangamangus's topic in General Students

    While I don't intend to bash the OP for venting, I do have personal experience with my "parade being rained on," so to speak. While I was still completing pre-reqs, I casually mentioned to a nurse at...

    Always_Learning replied to tiffanyleigh0212's topic in General Students

    Young Nursing Students

    Always_Learning replied to TaraRae123's topic in General Students

    Ya know, it took me quite a few years to figure out what I wanted to be when I grow up. I'm not super old (28), but it's taken me this long to get the nursing school thing rolling. I think it's great...

    Always_Learning replied to nursingstudentnikkic's topic in General Students

    First, you are not alone! Nearly every clinical day I come home and can't sleep, fearing I have omitted or missed some critical item that will inevitably lead to my patient's horrible demise! Consider...

    I am a new nursing student but am not doing so well

    Always_Learning replied to utchick's topic in General Students

    Hey there utchick, One of my recommendations would be to find someone to watch your son so that you can study on a regular basis. I have heard that it is well worth the money of hiring a sitter so...

    allnurses or allSTUDENTnurses?

    Always_Learning replied to inshallamiami's topic in General Nursing

    I am a student, and I know that a lot of students post on allnurses.com. I haven't really tried to notice if the student-post ratio is disproportionate, but it may be. If so, it might be attributed to...

    The "Curve"

    Always_Learning replied to New 2 iceeYouRN's topic in General Students

    My professors don't grade on a curve at all...they say grade inflation means they could be passing someone who is not truly prepared to sit for NCLEX. Ya know, the whole "This is gonna hurt me more...

    Towels for bathing

    Always_Learning replied to Kringe38's topic in General Students

    I always get three - then you have one for the face, one for upper body, and one for lower body/peri area. And if you drop one, you can still make do. Of course, my facility has teeny tiny towels......
