I start clinicals in about two weeks. I have to "long" tattoos on both of my forearms on the inside parts and I have a nose ring. So, my question is, how do I cover up my tattoos and what can I do for my nose ring? I got my nose pierced on May 7th ...

I was in nursing school (to be a RN) this summer, did one clinical, and have the necessary skills to work/train to become a CNA/PCT in a hospital - I've applied to MANY job positions for CNA/PCT and got NOTHING! Most want you to be certified, and tho...

I've seen a lot of peopling saying to "study the guide"...can anyone tell me the exact name of "the guide" and where I can get it? I'm currently going through the ATI book for the TEAS V. Thanks guys! :redpinkhe:heartbeat:redpinkhe

TO start off, I KNOW nursing isn't glamorous and pretty.... you will have to deal with vomit, and poop, etc. Yesterday I had my first clinical... and of course I get put on a floor where no one ideally wants to be - the GI floor (aka, the poop floor)...

I have, thanks for your concern.

I don't put stuff on here to mess with people... I wasn't able to volunteer before NS and I had NO CLUE what I was walking into as far as school went. If I could see how being and actual RN is compared to NS then I probably would have never posted t...

Okay, sorry if you're "fed up" with posts like this but that's not my problem, nor the point of this thread. It's not that I "don't like cleaning up poop" - I'm mean, really... who would CHOOSE to do that? "Oh yeah! I'd LOVE to do that, let me jump ...

Okay, for those of you who actually read what I wrote and understood, THANK YOU!!! I'm not STUPID, I know what missing my second day means and gets me, okay? And yes, this is making me rethink my career choice. Some people get into school, and they...

If you don't like an assignment after you get a job are you going to call in sick? That's very poor work ethic. No that's not it and NO i dont have poor work ethic! If you understood what I said, you would have known that. Thanks!

I'm half way through my first semester... and I don't know if I should withdraw from my classes (fundamentals at least) and try to start again in the fall... So far I have high B's in my classes... I've just gotten "behind" in my reading (I'm reading...

I guess I wasn't too clear? My average WAS a B, now it's like a 76% - which I'm not complaining about at all! We just have to have at least a 74.5 in order to pass at the end... and I haven't gotten ALL B's on every exam either (I think that wasn't...

what semester did you get behind in? I'm currently dealing with "being behind"

Let me just say, that sounds like an AWESOME program and I am super excited for you and the other people who get to participate in that camp! I am a first semester nursing student, and I wish I had that opportunity myself!! While those are all wonde...

Thanks guys! I keep telling myself to take it one day at a time - it's just hard to do that because I'm so many days behind in reading, so it's like I have to take 3 days at a time (it feels like). I feel like I can't catch up... I havent read thin...

I start nursing school May 27th - I've worked smart and hard for this....and I'm nervous I "don't have what it takes"! I know and believe that you can do what you think you can do, and I know I can do it! I'm just kinda somewhat nervous/worried bec...

Congrats! I am a new NS too! I start May 27th! Good luck! :redpinkhe:beer:

I totally just shared that on my facebook - O.M.FREAKIN G.!!!!! I've heard from a friend of mine that her aunt herself had this patient or someone else did....anyway, she SMELLED GOD AWFUL down in her private area and they were having to bathe her......

Hey! I've always wanted to help people in some way - my original plan was to go to the University of Alabama for their RN program...I had talked to this woman I knew (this was when I was 18) and she was an RN and she told me NOT TO GO INTO NURSING FO...

I'm starting nursing school this June, YAY! However, I am also moving into an apartment with my boyfriend before then. This will be the first time we've ever left our parent's homes and gotten our own place. Can anyone out there give me advice or te...

Thanks to everyone who's responded! I guess I should have mentioned that I've completed all my undergraduate work so all I have to take are my actual nursing classes...but I know that's STILL a load! I have other reasons I'll prob. stay home now, but...

tfleuter - THANK YOU! Staying at home was and is my first choice, however... my stepdad is an alcoholic and I CANT stand him... if I could just never talk to him unless I absolutely had to, that would be a dream come true... he's the only reason w...

Well I'll be working at a hospital I HOPE! I have a friend who is about to graduate from NS and she worked at a hospital... He can afford all the bills on his own I believe... so maybe I won't move out... All I know is that there are people who hav...

Im currently taking a&p and my teacher (he doesnt teach in the nursing school by the way) keeps telling us how people arent graduating from our nursing school bc they "didnt know their stuff" (from anatomy?). Does anyone who is in nursing school...
