  1. Counting Respirations

    QuarterLife88 replied to emptyboxcars's topic in General Students

    rude and uncalled

  2. How will someone like me do in nursing school?

    QuarterLife88 replied to Melseal's topic in General Students

    Nursing school is easy to fail out of because the bar is set high for "failure." Anything below 80%. In a regular college program, 80% is yippee skippy, but in nursing school that little round two...

  3. How should I prepare for nursing school?

    QuarterLife88 replied to Lucidity's topic in General Students

    Take a nice long mental vacation. Your brain and psyche will thank you. You will have plenty of time to study in nursing school. For now, I suggest you read every book you ever wanted to read for fun,...

  4. Nursing School Burnout - RANT!

    QuarterLife88 replied to QuarterLife88's topic in General Students

    Thanks guys! At this point I'm starting to feel dead inside. Like an emotionless robot just going through the motions. I still want to be a nurse, specifically a pysch nurse. I actually enjoyed that...

  5. What field of nursing do you want to go in and why?

    QuarterLife88 replied to aghols12's topic in General Students

    Psych. I like the laid back environment I experienced at clinical (I know not all places are that calm, but it's still been my favorite nursing experience so far) and I've always been interested in...

  6. OCC - for Fall 2012 or Jan 2012 prospective students!

    QuarterLife88 replied to IHeartPeds87's topic in Michigan Nursing

    You only have one 10 pt question dosage calc test and it's the third week I believe. It's pretty basic. You need 9/10 to pass, if you fail, you can take it two more times to pass. On blackboard (after...

  7. OCC - for Fall 2012 or Jan 2012 prospective students!

    QuarterLife88 replied to IHeartPeds87's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Study the syllabus thoroughly along with your notes. Tape all lectures. It's not that bad. I never read the book. IA with what whosurdaddy said a long time ago and that it's the easiest nursing class...

  8. Do you ever have doubts?

    QuarterLife88 replied to Jack245's topic in General Students

    I have doubts almost daily. In fact, now that's it's the second half of second semester and I have med-surg, I am doubting myself daily. I'm jealous of all of the other students out there in college...

  9. Feeling sub-par...

    QuarterLife88 replied to Ash81386's topic in General Students

    I go to a CC for my nursing program, and at 24, I'm one of the youngest, ergo, I'm not really friends with the other students too much but we're friendly, which is kind of nice, because your post...

  10. OCC - for Fall 2012 or Jan 2012 prospective students!

    QuarterLife88 replied to IHeartPeds87's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Congrats all those who got in so far! I'm a first year student and I was where you all are last year. It's an exciting

  11. I'm having nightmares about Med-Surg 1

    QuarterLife88 posted a topic in General Students

    I start Med Surg 1 next week, and I am terrified. Legit, terrified. I just had Psych and I feel like that was an easy class (workload not included) compared to the horror stories I've heard about...

  12. Just completed my first nursing class....

    QuarterLife88 replied to ivikatasha's topic in General Students

    Congrats. I had Foundations in the fall and finished with B+. I didn't care, I was just happy to pass that nightmare of a class. I know everyone says Foundations is 'easy' but something about it...

  13. For those in ADN programs -- how many patients do you have in clinical?

    QuarterLife88 replied to RN/Mom's topic in General Students

    1st semester - started out with one, but my instructor mid-way through gave us two if she felt we were good at time management. Basic PCT/CNA skills. 2nd semester - I've had psych so far and we had...

  14. Advice for n00bs

    QuarterLife88 replied to ixchel's topic in General Students

    CHILL

  15. What is Nursing school really like?

    QuarterLife88 replied to futurenurse16's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's very time consuming, which will make it seem hard. The information is not rocket science (I thought information wise that A&P/chemistry was much more complex), but my classmates and I always...

  16. OCC Nursing program

    QuarterLife88 replied to mmsgurl18's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Thank goodness it was not cancelled! I got an A overall in Psych, and an A- in lab. Now I'm gonna sit back and enjoy my very short break, because med-surg is next. Lord, help me! Have a good break...

    QuarterLife88 replied to OB-nurse2013's topic in General Students

    I know how you feel. I'm a second semester student and I am wiped out. The first half of my second semester comes to end this week and then we get a week off, and man do I need it. I am so exhausted....

  19. Freaked out and wanting to quit

    QuarterLife88 replied to Ctay's topic in General Students

    Don't feel alone. If you're in Fundamentals I feel like that's normal. It was the most boring class. I desperately missed the science aspect that came with the pre-reqs. All the care-bear crap bored...

  20. Just a few weeks into first semester of nursing school and having second thoughts.

    QuarterLife88 replied to Superdude87's topic in General Students

    Eh, most of us feel or have felt that way. I'm a 2nd semester first year student, and I think about quitting every other day. It's mostly when I've just spent 8+ hours on a careplan or some other such...

  21. Fourth semester peeps weigh in!

    QuarterLife88 replied to pockunit's topic in General Students

    I'm a 2nd semester student in psych right now, and I just did this. We call it a process recording. Such a waste of what could be useful study time. I wanted to kill myself. oops, I hope no one...

  22. OCC - for Fall 2012 or Jan 2012 prospective students!

    QuarterLife88 replied to IHeartPeds87's topic in Michigan Nursing

    March 15 is when they are supposed to come. But they may come early, they may come later. Last year they came about a week before the 15th, and the year before that, about a week late. Good luck...if...

    QuarterLife88 replied to oklahomagal's topic in General Students

    Second semester - psychiatric nursing/meg-surg 1 psych is the first 7 weeks, and medsurg will be the last 7 weeks. So far have had a med calc test (first day), and my first theory exam was today,...

  24. She actually said it! Yay for my instructor!

    QuarterLife88 replied to grownuprosie's topic in General Students

    That's really great of your instructor and I am jealous, lol. One of my biggest pet peeves in class/clinical post conference, is being held up by others with their inane stories. I don't give a...

  25. Do YOU enjoy nursing school?

    QuarterLife88 replied to tammy_zeidan09's topic in General Students

    THIS! It's not hard material, no. But the tedious little side hoops they run you through is enough to make you want to punch someone in the face. I had NO real break this holiday season. I was too...
