  1. No She/he Did Not!!!

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

    No she did not crush up a pill, attempt to dissolve it in water and then inject it IV. This student wasn't in our class, but our lab coordinator threatened us if we ever did

  2. Whats the deal with all the crying?!?!....

    knittingmonster replied to morningland's topic in General Students

    I cried when I failed VS check-offs for the second time. I tried to hold it back, but I was terrified that I'd fail before I'd even had a chance to get started. I also cried when I saw a patient...

  3. Who else is having fun with school supplies?

    knittingmonster posted a topic in General Students

    I'm just a few weeks away from my first semester in the nursing program and am loving all the school supplies with which I get to play. Besides the regular folders and stuff, there's mini-folders and...

  4. Does anyone here like nursing school?

    knittingmonster posted a topic in General Students

    I feel like a loner because I haven't actually heard anyone say they like/love nursing school and I'm truly enjoying it. I've been a sahm for the past five years and have struggled to fill the time. I...

    knittingmonster replied to knittingmonster's topic in General Students

    Lol, you're probably right about it still being the honeymoon phase! I imagine things could change at some point. Right now, though, it's exactly what I

  6. is my school normal? skills teaching for clinicals

    knittingmonster replied to CeilingCat's topic in General Students

    That is so far off of the experience I've had at my school. We have an hour of PLA where we watch the videos together and then one of the lab teachers demonstrates the skill(s). We then have to have...

  7. Silly question--what to wear for class

    knittingmonster posted a topic in General Students

    What is the expected dress code for nursing classes? I realize that it's uniforms for clinicals and such, but what about other times? Professional, regular street clothes?

  8. BA to ADN to MSN?

    knittingmonster replied to sholmsen's topic in General Students

    Some schools offer a RN to MSN program. The one that I am looking at for the future requires 24 course hours of bridgework. So you are basically making up the Bachelor's. I am doing the same...

  9. Do people tell you all about their medical problems because you're going to be an RN?

    knittingmonster replied to worf's topic in General Students

    While I was doing my pre-reqs, one of my neighbors had a kidney infection that landed her in the hospital. When she came home, they had forgotten to remove the capped IV. She came knocking at my...

    knittingmonster replied to p421clcp's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I'm also entering the fall 09 class. I am very excited for things to start. I'm trying to remind myself to slow down and not wish these last three weeks away because it'll be my only free time for a...

  11. Who else is having fun with school supplies?

    knittingmonster replied to knittingmonster's topic in General Students

    The nursing things I bought right after I was accepted. My stethoscope, blood pressure cuff, hemostat, bandage scissors and all those type things. I bought mini-composition books to keep notes in my...
