    FLDoula replied to moonischasingme1's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Dad, You didn't miss anything. Those who answered feel that their watches are the best for clinicals and by describing that they were staying on subject. Buying a nursing watch is personal preference...

  8. Dealing with a sick loved one or death while in school?

    FLDoula replied to windmill182's topic in General Students

    I'm sorry you're going through this. It's ok to be a bit resentful with her for this. It's very conflicting. My husband is a smoker and it makes me angry that he does this to himself, me, the...

  9. Giving up your seat...

    FLDoula replied to miyhaka's topic in General Students

    I'm in your same boat.... :hug: I was supposed to start today. Just 2 weeks ago I had to defer until Spring. I cried and was in a real depressed state for over a week. We get no federal help...

    FLDoula replied to Nurse2b7337's topic in General Students

    Most of the Border's retail outlets have been out of business for awhile. I thought their online shop was still in business though. They'll be back in some fashion or another after all the court...

  13. Biopsy and Ablation the week before school starts???

    FLDoula replied to MammaNurse2Be's topic in General Students

    The biopsy is not bad...really. About 45 seconds of being uncomfortable. Having valium you will be very relaxed. I had the first one with...second one without. Do some relaxation breathing...in...

    FLDoula replied to MammaNurse2Be's topic in General Students

    I've had two uterine biopsies and they were not bad at all. I was down a day...regular activities the day after. Mild cramping afterwards but nothing that ibuprophen didn't take care of. As far as the...

    FLDoula replied to 3xmom's topic in General Students

  17. What are you carrying all your books in?

    FLDoula replied to bri2012's topic in General Students

    When I was taking A&P 1 and 2 they de-spined the book, separated into the separate courses and put them into 3" notebooks. I liked it because I could then put the corresponding power points into...

  18. New NS, What's your first "nursing shoe" gonna be?

    FLDoula replied to BelleNscrubs04's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    After trying on 15,000 pairs of shoes (well it felt like it) I settled on a pair of Landau's FootWearX for Comfort. They are very comfortable and I can use bleach on

  19. Calling all pen aficionados...please report here

    FLDoula replied to Poi Dog's topic in General Students

    Oh.... I'm not picky about pens. Just wanted to share though that my husband is and that he actually has what I call the "pen apartment." A specially lined case he has stuffed with pens of all kinds....

    FLDoula replied to RN-4Ever's topic in General Students

  23. Cell Phones in Class?

    FLDoula replied to virgo,student nurse's topic in General Students

    Our school is ok with us using electronic devices for things like Unbound Medicine/Nursing Central to access the reference books online. Phones, ipads, ipods, laptops. BUT, if you are caught using it...

  24. Should I get a "jump-start" studying???

    FLDoula replied to Java Mama's topic in General Students

    We're required to read 6 chapters out of our Fundamentals book before August 22 start date. (that is once the books come in!) From what I understand in regards to math is that we are allowed to use...

  25. Do you feel this way too?

    FLDoula replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Students

    No.... I don't let them get to me. Being a CC doesn't matter. My 2 kids who attended a state college could tell you some stories about these types of classmates at their school also....so it's not...
