  1. Research Project - Non-Traditional Students

    marjibme replied to KentuckyRN2Be's topic in General Students

    I'm pretty non-traditional too (50 - 2nd degree/career, etc.) and would be happy to answer the survey

  2. Help understanding a diagnosis

    marjibme posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I just got my patient assignment for in the morning. I need to write up a clinical prep with the patients diagnosis, a brief discussion of it (disease process, S/S, causes, possible complications,...

  3. Springfield Hospitals?

    marjibme replied to jab3da's topic in General Nursing

    There's also a couple smaller places in the area: Doctors Hospital in Springfield - Skaggs in Branson & CMH in Bolivar (both towns are about 30 minutes out of Springfield). As a student in the...

  4. Moral of the Story

    marjibme posted a topic in General Students

    I just need to share this with someone (or several someones) who will understand. Earlier this semester, I decided to blow off a small, 5 point pharmacology assignment because I was feeling a bit...

  5. Urge urinary incontinence - etiology help??

    marjibme posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I could really use some help. I'm a first semester student & we're been assigned a case study (from the Evolve website - based on the Ackley Nursing Diagnosis Handbook). Outside of a mention of...

  6. Urge urinary incontinence - etiology help??

    marjibme replied to marjibme's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Daytonite (and all), Thanks again for your responses. Based on the requirements for the assignment, I felt that impaired urinary elimination was too broad a diagnosis. I did speculate on possible...

  7. Urge urinary incontinence - etiology help??

    marjibme replied to marjibme's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Thanks for the reply. I went with idopathic causes since there wasn't any information in the data provided to suggest any concrete reason/cause. My brain has been at th epint of Information Saturation...

  8. Funny things you have said but wish you didn't

    marjibme replied to FranEMTnurse's topic in Nursing Humor

    We were visiting a good friend of ours, a pastor, who came down with alll the S/S of a terrible head cold on Saturday night. He decided to "medicate" himself with a dose of Nyquil and preach his...

  9. Welcome to the Missouri State Forum!

    marjibme replied to suebird3's topic in General Nursing

    Hi! I'm a "second career" first semester student in the Springfield area. I'm originally from Chicago, but have lived here in SWMo for close to 30 years - so this is definitely "home" to me now. Nice...

  10. I've gotta figure out a way to lose weight while in nursing school

    marjibme replied to scrublifenurse10's topic in General Students

    Yeah - the "Nursing School Diet and Exercise Program" is not the best way to loose weight - in fact, I put ON almost 10 pounds just doing my pre-req classes. Mi Vida offered some really great advice...

  11. How Far Would You Go?

    marjibme replied to OCD_Mom's topic in General Students

    Honestly, I can't think of anything that would be worth sacrificing my moral convictions. Really good programs will be still be there when the timing is better. Millions of others have found jobs and...

  12. How much math is in nursing school??????

    marjibme replied to spacecitygroover's topic in General Students

    Math, especially clinical calculations, will be with you all the way through nursing school, the NCLEX and beyond. For those who are "math challenged" there's a great book available "Clinical...

    marjibme replied to lisa41rn's topic in General Nursing

    while i am still a student (first semester actually) i have worked for several years as a disability advocate & ltc ombudsman. i have several friends & clients who are either hoh, deaf or...

  14. I "oopsed" my Skills Return

    marjibme posted a topic in General Students

    I had my first skills return today: PO med administration, IM, ID, SubQ injections and IV insertions. I managed to pass the IV insertion skill, even though my clinical partner has the smallest,...

  15. St. John's in Springfield-what do you think?

    marjibme replied to ShalomRN's topic in General Nursing

    Cheap (err - inexpensive) is good. There's a place near my house that sells used sets, the Springfield craigslist has a bunch for sale and there's 2 or 3 shops in town where you can get new ones,...

  16. St. John's in Springfield-what do you think?

    marjibme replied to ShalomRN's topic in General Nursing

    You're very welcome. Holler at me if you have any questions. I've been around Springfield for a long time now

  17. Only week 4 of Nursing 1 and I'm already stressing

    marjibme replied to Nimby5956's topic in General Students

    I think the real question is "has anyone else NOT felt this way?" My biggest advise (and I'm talking to myself as much as anyone) is slow down and give yourself time to think. You'll be surprised at...

  18. Too old to become an LPN?

    marjibme replied to brillig721's topic in General Students

    I'm 49 and in my first semester, along with several others that are older-than-average students. Like Matilda 123 said, "it doesn't matter how old you are, it matters how you intend to live your...

  19. How many pre-req classes did you still have to take when you applied?

    marjibme replied to Ted D's topic in General Students

    I actually had to retake almost every one of my science gen-eds and decided to get them out of the way before I started the program. BEST decision I ever made, because the requirements for the core...

  20. Getting off on the wrong foot

    marjibme replied to tikimama's topic in General Students

    We have to remember too, that our Nursing Instructors were all once nursing students. They know that "life" has a way of changing our plans mid-stride at times and it will speak volumes for your...

  21. Clinical Instructor Woes

    marjibme replied to eyeball's topic in General Students

    I totally agree with Daytonite here. This is going to be one of those "critical conversations" they tell us about in Fundamentals, but it really is critical that you let the "powers that be" know what...

  22. Is it harder than you thought?

    marjibme replied to mikeyjsc's topic in General Students

    I am SOOOO "feeling ya" here. I don't think you're being thinned-skinned (although I do think we'll all develop a thicker hide as we progress through our programs) - I think you're being realistic. It...

  23. How hard is First semester in Nursing school?

    marjibme replied to Pinkster's topic in General Nursing

    I had to laugh at the "challenge just figuring what was due for what class" part. That has been the main - if not only - source of stress as I begin this journey toward "RNdom" Seems like there's a...

  24. St. John's in Springfield-what do you think?

    marjibme replied to ShalomRN's topic in General Nursing

    Welcome to the neighborhood! I'm a nursing student with the St. Johns program, so I'm doing my clinicals there. I actually choose this particular program because of the "high standards" klr24371...
