  1. Med Surg: What Works For You?

    QuarterLife88 replied to maccheese's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    My program utilizes power points for notes and lecture, and that is the bulk and focus the instructor wants you to know. It really depends on the instructor as well. Mine liked to throw in a few...

  2. Studying less and less as the program goes on

    QuarterLife88 replied to QuarterLife88's topic in General Students

    Well I took my own advice, and my grades went up on the last two exams. I went from a low B average in the class to an A- average. My brain really needed to just chill out and relax a bit in order to...

  3. There's nothing worse than a FAT nurse!

    QuarterLife88 replied to Darkstar1485's topic in General Students

    well that lets out a lot of people. i'm thin and eat like crap. my insides are probably covered in butter and lard. should i also be exempt from telling a person to lose weight, or from preaching...

  4. Favorite System

    QuarterLife88 replied to CRNBSN18's topic in General Students

    Immune. Talk about a badass army. Every time HIV is even mentioned I perk up with interest. I loved Microbiology when I took the pre-reqs. I'm also quite fond of the Endocrine system. Least favorite...

  5. There's nothing worse than a FAT nurse!

    QuarterLife88 replied to Darkstar1485's topic in General Students

    Uh, I think you misread my post. I said it doesn't matter. That a smoking nurse, or fat nurse, doesn't make their information (the dangers and health implications) untrue.... therefore, fat nurse or...

  6. There's nothing worse than a FAT nurse!

    QuarterLife88 replied to Darkstar1485's topic in General Students

    OP sorry that happened to you. Honestly, I don't see why it matters. If I were a smoker and the doctor or nurse lecturing about the hazRDS of smoking also happened to be a chain smoker and just lit up...

  7. What will YOU do with your first "real" paycheck!?

    QuarterLife88 replied to DZcarrie's topic in General Students

    If I graduate from school, when I get my first paycheck, I want to give it to my mother. She really needs the cash, and she's always been my

  8. The Hunger Games and Nursing School!

    QuarterLife88 replied to PatMac10,RN's topic in General Students

    Gotta admit. Sometimes it does feel like I'm walking to my death.

  9. Are there cliques in your nursing program?

    QuarterLife88 replied to live&love&heal's topic in General Students

    I wouldn't say my program has clique problems. Everyone is pretty friendly, all age ranges included. We're getting smaller and smaller now, so I see the same people over and over. Sure, people have...

  10. skills for fundamentals

    QuarterLife88 replied to aachavez's topic in General Students

    We were checked off on handwashing, vitals (b.p., respirations, and pulse), foley catheters, and medication administration - these last two were by far the most nerve wracking (sterile field with the...

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

    QuarterLife88 replied to IHeartPeds87's topic in Michigan Nursing

    brodygirl, When you start 1410 you will have theory on Mondays (always), then you may have Tues/Wed lab days, morning from 9-12 or afternoon from 2-5. OR, you may have Thurs/Fri lab. That's for the...

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

    QuarterLife88 replied to IHeartPeds87's topic in Michigan Nursing

    If you miss an exam day, you will be able to make it up, but an automatic 10% will be docked. Considering that these quizzes are 30 pts at most, that's not a good outlook. Missing a regular lecture:...

  13. Did you have to brush your classmates teeth?

    QuarterLife88 replied to pixiestudent2's topic in General Students

    We never brushed each other's teeth in skills lab. Nor did we practice baths on each other. That's something you read about, but perform for the first time in clinical when you do AM care. Brushing...

  14. I am about to enter the snake pit...please help

    QuarterLife88 replied to ♑ Capricorn ♑'s topic in General Students

    Words of advice: Don't buy into the hype. Everyone and their mama will tell you nursing school is scary, and you'll have no life. You are what you believe. If I had ignored what everyone said, I might...

  15. Studying less and less as the program goes on

    QuarterLife88 replied to QuarterLife88's topic in General Students

    Yeah that's what I've been trying to do this past weekend and today (you said it better than I did though!). I used to study all day with many breaks, but that just made me feel trapped, so now I'm...

  16. Studying less and less as the program goes on

    QuarterLife88 replied to QuarterLife88's topic in General Students

    iluvpatho: I have a much needed break at the end of next month thru Sept. 3 1/2

  17. Studying less and less as the program goes on

    QuarterLife88 replied to QuarterLife88's topic in General Students

    maddiem, my post was not about doing less to get by...rather, I'm tired of over-studying and stressing out, when what I really need to do is study less, but more efficiently, and make room for a life...

  18. A rolling suitcase....really???

    QuarterLife88 replied to OgreAchiever's topic in General Students

    Issues, you have

  19. A rolling suitcase....really???

    QuarterLife88 replied to OgreAchiever's topic in General Students

    I've used one for clinical. Depending on the class and/or instructor, they may want you to tote every last book you own. But overall, no, it's not necessary, more of a hindrance than anything, and I...

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

    QuarterLife88 replied to IHeartPeds87's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Yes. You have to be logged in. Once you're on BB, in the right upper corner it should say "Dept of Nursing." Unless it's not there for you guys, but I'm pretty sure it was for me at that time. Anyway,...

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

    QuarterLife88 replied to IHeartPeds87's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Go to Blackboard and under the nursing department tab, find 'course materials.' Scroll down and you'll find a practice test for level two nursing course (1510, 1520, and 1530). Practice those. That's...

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

    QuarterLife88 replied to IHeartPeds87's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Congrats! UGH OB. I miss pharm on days like

  23. 3 Months until NS starts.. What should i be doing!

    QuarterLife88 replied to niqua8604's topic in General Students

    Sleep. God I wish I could do that right now, but I have a lab class to attend in a few hours. Come to me June

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

    QuarterLife88 replied to IHeartPeds87's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Pretty sure it's individual. I know it looks like a lot, (and it is, I studied all day everyday when I had pharm, from one test til the next!), but if you know it, the questions will be a piece of...

  25. Reccomend a gender neutral title to replace "Nurse"!

    QuarterLife88 replied to keithjones's topic in General Nursing

    Terms like reverse sexism, racism, whateverism, need to die in a fire. I cannot... Whine more, people in the majority.
