  1. Pregnancy during nursing school

    Adams_Mama_07 replied to rookie9's topic in General Students

    If you were 25 I would say wait because you are only going to add stress upon stress upon stress. I found out I was pregnant just prior to enrolling in a nursing program in 2007. I decided to defer...

    Adams_Mama_07 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I got accepted into my school's nursing program but I have a question about the background check for clinical sites, does it include a credit check typically? My co-owner on some credit cards recently...

  3. Are RN's poor lecturers in general or is it the program in my school?

    Adams_Mama_07 replied to StittsvilleNurse's topic in General Students

    Well I haven't started the nursing program yet, but I did attend a university for 4 years and can tell you it is not the "overall university," I can think of handful of lecturers that weren't very...

  4. Dorms/ On Campus Housing?

    Adams_Mama_07 replied to TaraRae123's topic in General Students

  5. I have a Bachelor degree in Business going for Nursing

    Adams_Mama_07 replied to nhmilky's topic in General Students

  6. How to study for an exam while sick?

    Adams_Mama_07 replied to ScrappinSpidey's topic in General Students

  7. Cliques in Nursing School

    Adams_Mama_07 replied to KMC-RN-BSN-710's topic in General Students

    Well maybe I'm just snooty, but I always find that I'm never really in the "group" either. I guess because when they start disrespecting someone, big mouth here has to chime in and make them feel like...

  8. No Nicotine!

    Adams_Mama_07 replied to Brikkz's topic in General Students

    Well, I also stand by what you said about people being around smokers smelling like smoke. But that is clearly not what this discussion is about and is a digression from the topic at hand. This...

  9. Want to keep my job!!!

    Adams_Mama_07 replied to chickapea's topic in General Students

    If you allocate a certain timeframe each day for studying than it should not be any trouble. For me I allocate approximately 3 hours/day for studying Mon-Fri, and up to 6 hours each day Saturday and...

  10. No Nicotine!

    Adams_Mama_07 replied to Brikkz's topic in General Students

    Another point to consider, say a young, single mother works at a bar or something as a bartender (lots of smoke) while putting herself through nursing school. Obviously would test positive for...

  11. No Nicotine!

    Adams_Mama_07 replied to Brikkz's topic in General Students

    I'm not saying that people who are exposed to second hand smoke never smell like cigarette smoke. I'm saying I don't, and to not hire me because tracing of nicotine metabolite would be excreted in my...

  12. Laptops and Nursing classes

    Adams_Mama_07 posted a topic in General Students

    Adams_Mama_07 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Okay, I thought the local community colleges offered CPR training as part of their continuing education programs...and I think I recall seeing "CPR classes on such and such date" on their info boards...

  14. No Nicotine!

    Adams_Mama_07 replied to Brikkz's topic in General Students

    Well, in response to the exposure of second hand smoke and having to go to work and smell it on people's clothes--or whatever--I say this---my fiance smokes (like a freight train) but not in the house...

  15. No Nicotine!

    Adams_Mama_07 replied to Brikkz's topic in General Students

    Okay, seriously, my fiance smokes and will not stop smoking so, basically I won't get hired anywhere because he smokes? That's rediculous and absurd, and that is discrimination. Now, I am faced with...

  18. taking out a loan for school am I wrong

    Adams_Mama_07 replied to Unique87's topic in General Students

    Well, I have 20,000 dollars worth of stafford loans from getting my Bachelor's--so, I don't see how 3,000 will be terribly burdensome. If you need more to survive on then I would recommend taking...

  19. Trouble hearing BP sounds, help

    Adams_Mama_07 replied to seasoned hopeful's topic in General Students

    My trouble when I practice on people with mine is keeping it steady, I hear scratching sounds all over the place so that prevents me from hearing clearly. If that's not your problem, the above posters...

    Adams_Mama_07 replied to Adams_Mama_07's topic in General Students
