    RNSuzq1 replied to misswoosie's topic in North Carolina Nursing

  3. Anyone out there go to Wake Tech?!?!?!

    RNSuzq1 replied to butterfly80's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Hi Butterfly, You're right about Wake-Tech, very hard to get anyone to answer your questions. Several years ago I wanted to get my pre-req's out of the way - but you can't do those until you go...

    RNSuzq1 replied to S.N. Visit's topic in General Students

    Tanzanite, Lucky You!!! If we could afford a housekeeper, my husband would have hired one long ago. Unfortunately, his Mother is a Martha Stewart Clone - you could eat off her driveway, so of course...

    RNSuzq1 replied to TamaraG's topic in General Students

    RNSuzq1 replied to DutchgirlRN's topic in General Students

    Hi Dutch, I'm not sure what "EC" is, but SOAP Notes have been around for years. I learned how to take notes in SOAP format over 20 years ago when I was a Navy Hospital Corpsman. S - Subjective data -...

    RNSuzq1 replied to LWildman's topic in General Students

    Hi Wildman, If you hate school and think transferring to a community college for your RN will be less competitive and will get rid of your stress, think again!!! When I applied 2 years ago, there...

  10. First time teaching MedSurg Nsg

    RNSuzq1 replied to NsgTeacher's topic in General Students

    NsgTeacher, I have to agree with most of the other Posters - Interactive Lectures are the best. We have several Instructors and they take turns lecturing - usually in whatever their Nursing Specialty...

  11. ridiculous test questions

    RNSuzq1 replied to elizabells's topic in General Students

    Hi Eliza, I'm guessing with basic pt. care questions, you're in the 1st Semester. That's usually the big "weeding out" semester and as ridiculous or silly some of the possible answers might be,...

    RNSuzq1 replied to kklownluv's topic in General Students

    KK, I was on the alternate list last year for my ADN Program. There were only 40 slots and over 450 applied, but thankfully they at least told us what # we were on the list. Those that were first...

    RNSuzq1 replied to NicInNC's topic in General Students

  15. Tests and Cheating Classmates

    RNSuzq1 posted a topic in General Students

    Sorry this is long - I'm just very disgusted. We were told on day one - if you are caught cheating - you'll be out of the Program. Although I'm 40, I'm obviously very naive, because I couldn't...

  16. Tests and Cheating Classmates

    RNSuzq1 replied to RNSuzq1's topic in General Students

    Hi All, I'm the original poster - thanks for all the replies. I've always wished we could sit at individual desks - but like I said, it's not possible. I talked to a fellow-student this weekend and...

    RNSuzq1 replied to jamieSN's topic in General Students

    We are only allowed to wear a wedding band and post earrings (if your hair is long, it's to be pinned up and out of your face). I understand the reason for the rules and as we were told - it's not...

  18. How far/long is your drive to school/clinicals?

    RNSuzq1 replied to Lisa Michelle's topic in General Students

    LOL CRB, If you weren't in Kentucky, I'd swear you and I were traveling the same back country roads. It's a nice straight shot, but almost an hour drive - throw in a few farmers, tractors, etc. and a...

  19. A & P 2 and Nursing I at the same time, am I that CRAZY?????

    RNSuzq1 replied to dream8's topic in General Students

    Crystal, Only a few students in my Class are only taking "Nursing" - most are taking at least 1 other course and several are taking a full-load. It just depends on how well you can divide up your...

  20. HELP... I am Grade obsessed

    RNSuzq1 replied to JoniL&DRN's topic in General Students

    Like most of you, I was never grade obsessed until Nursing School. There is always that nagging voice telling you that you have to go the extra mile in studying - because this is a "make it or break...

    RNSuzq1 replied to prairiegirl's topic in General Students

    Oh Prairie, I feel for you Hun. I started an ADN Program last month and someone left after the first week - she didn't want the stress of it all I heard. There are 43 in my Class and for the first...

  22. Early Morning Clinicals

    RNSuzq1 replied to abundantjoy07's topic in General Students

    My School said they are trying something "New" this year. Instead of Clinicals once or twice a week, they have blocked off an entire 2 weeks per month. Although I have an hour commute and have to be...

    RNSuzq1 replied to stressgal's topic in General Students
