  1. PRN

    everlasting posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I am interested in working as a CNA during Nursing school. I can only work on the weekends, so I've been going some job hunting. I found a job opening that is PRN; weekend days. This may be a stupid...

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

    everlasting replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    You can't use "I've been sick" as an excuse forever, you know. Your excuse for not doing the project was "I was sick?" Really? We've known about the project since the FIRST day of class and it's...

  3. How long is your NS drive?

    everlasting replied to OBplease's topic in General Students

    It takes me about 30 minutes to get to campus. Both clinical sites (hospitals) are about 5 minutes away from the main campus, so it only takes about 35 minutes to get to clinical from my

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

    everlasting replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    Oh my wow, please stop talking! It wouldn't be so bad if you had something constructive to say but you can talk about nothing for hours! You could talk about the color blue the whole clinical day....

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

    everlasting replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    Just because you use to be an EMT doesn't mean you know everything about nursing. Stop interrupting the teacher to chime in "Oh I did that as a paramedic" or "One time, as a paramedic..." Just Stop....

  6. What are your study techniques?

    everlasting replied to emptyboxcars's topic in General Students

    What really helps me is to record the lectures. Once I record them, I upload them onto the computer, print out the power point, and take notes as I go. If I miss something important, I can just rewind...

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

    everlasting replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    I can't believe you actually answered your phone and said to the person who called you "No, I'm not busy. What's up?" In the MIDDLE of lecture! I know how much you enjoy texting, but next time,...

  8. Acceptance & Denial letters and waivers

    everlasting replied to butterfly_kisses9188's topic in General Students

    At my school, acceptance letters are sent out first, followed by alternate letters and then denial letters are last. We've had people called the first day of class because someone dropped or never...

  9. What nursing class at your school has the most failure rate?

    everlasting replied to msteresa97's topic in General Students

    I'm in the same situation! We started on a new curriculum, so my class is the last one on the old curriculum. If we fail a class, we usually could wait a semester or two and retake it. Now, if we...

  10. Stupid Things that get you kicked out of nursing school

    everlasting replied to IvoryLena's topic in General Students

    We lost quite a few people because of the dosage calculation exam. You had to make a 90% to pass and you got one retake. There was one girl who hid flash cards in the pocket of her hoodie so she...

  11. What nursing class at your school has the most failure rate?

    everlasting replied to msteresa97's topic in General Students

    We lost the a lot of students during Fundamentals. I'm in MedSurg I/OB now, and I have a feeling we will lose a lot after this semester. OB is notorious for being the weeding out

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

    everlasting replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    ^This. I wasn't responding to your post. I was referring to someone in my clinical group. Sorry for the confusion!

  13. You know you're a student nurse when...

    everlasting replied to knittingmonster's topic in General Students

    - You have a never ending supply of black pens. - You are always broke. Always. - When your idea of fun is going to Wal-Mart and buying flash cards in every color. - When you first meet someone and...

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

    everlasting replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    I really don't think it's the best idea to say every cuss word under the sun in front of your patient. If you mess up, or drop something, stop acknowledging it with a bunch of profanity. You come...

  15. What do you hate the most about nursing school?

    everlasting replied to Jewl's topic in General Students

    I hate doing care plans and IPR's! I also hate how disorganized everything is. There is a girl in my class who was told she was in PEDS this rotation, bought her books, and went to clinic on the first...

  16. How to study effectively

    everlasting replied to MsGreenBeauty's topic in General Students

    I realized that I remember information better if I hear it, so what I do is read the book out loud to myself. I also record the lectures and play them back and take notes as I go. Also read all of the...

  17. Which do your prefer, Class or Clinicals?

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

    Last semester, I HATED clinical. I really disliked the hospital and my CI. I had a very degrading and horrible CI. We were belittled the entire semester and could never ask her questions with her...

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

    everlasting replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    You never stop talking. You're extremely distracting and I don't care to hear about "how drunk you're going to get this weekend" in the middle of lecture. Okay? So stop! Stop acting like you know...

  19. No She/he Did Not!!!

    everlasting replied to Maggie in NC's topic in General Students

    - when preparing the patients lunch tray, the patient says "I can't have these greens." student nurse says "Why not?" And the patient replied "Because I'm on Coumadin!" - ask our instructor "A condom...

  20. Question for everyone who started this fall

    everlasting replied to Adams_Mama_07's topic in General Students

    My clinical started the first week in. It was a bit intimidating at first, but it will give us a good 16 weeks of clinical practice. When I got my acceptance letter in the mail, the date and time for...

    everlasting replied to craziechiq's topic in General Students

  22. How do you study for Nursing Exams

    everlasting replied to Dragtail's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I always use index cards in assorted colors. I'm in Pharmacology & Fundamentals now, so if we're studying cardiovascular meds and respiratory meds I'll put all of the info about cardiovascular...

  23. Professional in scrubs?

    everlasting replied to Kora0880's topic in General Students

    I think it's a good idea to have designated colors for different professions. I know at most hospitals around here, all RN's are in navy or a combination of navy/white. CNA's are in green, respiratory...

    everlasting replied to craziechiq's topic in General Students

    everlasting replied to sh1901's topic in General Students

    Our uniforms are realllllly old. They haven't changed them in who knows how long. We have to wear a white polo with our college's name on it, a hideous white vest to wear over the polo shirt, lovely...
