    First day of clinicals tomorrow! Nervous!

    Coriander replied to Coriander's topic in General Students

    Thanks guys! I had a fantastic time. :) My nurse was super sweet, and I was able to do a lot on my first day. I gave an IV push on a saline lock, hung an IV piggyback, did a dressing change,...

    What color are your school uniforms?

    Coriander replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Students

    I don't think I've responded here... ours are navy blue with red trim. We have a matching jacket to wear over them. They still feel so stiff it's like wearing tin.

    You know you're in nursing school when your boyfriend meets your classmates and says, "You all have the same energy. I would be able to tell you're nurses without even knowing

    Coriander replied to Valasca's topic in General Students

    My boyfriend is happy to let me practice on him, however now that he has a large kidney stone, he won't let me do "that tapping thing".

    Things you would love to say to your fellow nursing students!

    Coriander replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    We just lost the first classmate... so, to that classmate, I'm so sorry things happened the way they did for you. I hope that you'll be back next semester when things settle down in your life. You...

    TV shows and movies that are ruined, because you know better

    Coriander replied to HollyHobby's topic in Nursing Humor

    I'm not familiar with every stethoscope model out there, but it seems that everyone on TV puts their earpieces in backwards. Also, shows where there are a zillion doctors but maybe one nurse seen...

    Re: Noise Levels While Studying

    Coriander replied to caffeineRx's topic in General Nursing

    I voted "sometimes". I find it's actually easier for me to study when I'm home alone with the television on in the background. I find it impossible to study well in public, as I'm easily distracted by...

    Coriander replied to Valasca's topic in General Students

    Pop Tarts, trail mix and an iced tea here. It would be interesting if they ran sodium tests on students before they started school, and halfway into a semester.

    Can a nursing 2nd semester student work as a CNA or LPN

    Coriander replied to NurseJess125's topic in General Students

    There is a course, usually about 4 months, plus an exam to become a CNA. An LPN has to go through nursing school, too, and pass the NCLEX-PN. Some hospitals or LTC facilities have positions open for...

    Nursing School Must Haves??

    Coriander replied to Servingshots's topic in General Students

    Coffeemaker, enormous dayplanner, and a really strong bookcase. The big thing is to make sure you have a little time for yourself every day. Material-wise, I also have a recorder and a bag-on-wheels...

    Coriander replied to tiredstudentmom's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that it might be best to get your CPR anyways, as you're planning on entering RN school. :) It's a few hours, not horribly expensive, and just one more certification to have under your

    Coriander replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    Just because I missed a question on the quiz and you didn't doesn't mean you're more fabulous than I am. Don't pat me on the arm and tell me "oh honey it's okay". Shut. Up. It is NOT

    Coriander replied to computer101's topic in General Students

    Coriander replied to labrador4122's topic in General Students

    Big hugs... don't give up. This was one quiz in one class, and though I realize it's heartbreaking at the time, now you know how things are worded. If you don't understand what the professor meant in...
