  1. What is it that you like about the OR?

    studentnurse74 posted a topic in Operating Room

    I'm a nursing student. I don't know what I'll be doing next year when I graduate (ASN program), but my current interests are OR, ER, and ONC. I love watching surgeries on tv, but I know with...

  2. Clinicals: what was the biggest surprise or thing you would have wanted to know?

    studentnurse74 replied to ER1010's topic in General Students

    I wish someone would've told us that we are being CONSTANTLY watched and listened to by staff at the facilities. I don't know why that is. Our instructor has been pulled aside a few times now for...

  3. Cheapest place to find scrubs?

    studentnurse74 posted a topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Any suggestions? I checked a few online places, but even allheart.com wasn't that low after shipping is paid. Does anyone know of a lower priced site or store?

  4. NCLEX review books???

    studentnurse74 posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm just finishing my first semester, but would like to know which book to get for review. I think it will help to study as I go along. Can someone suggest one? Or does anyone know if they have...

  5. Anyone else broke?

    studentnurse74 replied to kellyo's topic in General Students

    I agree...I do that. I've also bought things off the internet really cheap, and sold them for more on Ebay than I paid for them. Children's clothing sells well, especially the brand names. You...

  6. Does anyone have any DRUG CARD examples?

    studentnurse74 replied to deenaCHGO's topic in General Students

    Here's what one of mine looks like: hydrocodone w/APAP CIII Analgesic Anexia, Bancap HC, Ceta-Plus, Co-Gesic, Dolacet, Duocet,...

  7. Diamonds in school?

    studentnurse74 replied to JoniL&DRN's topic in General Students

    I don't know....we're allowed to wear one pair of stud earrings. I wear my diamonds. They're okay with that, but I can't wear my diamond wedding ring, just a plain band. They said MOs breed in...

  8. nursing school survival kit

    studentnurse74 replied to mstockwe's topic in General Students

    It's been mentioned, but HIGHLIGHTERS and INDEX CARDS. You can never have enough! How about a "critical" thinking cap? Maire: Where's your critical thinking cap today? I don't see your evidence to...

  9. Anyone starting clinicals this fall, and where?

    studentnurse74 posted a topic in Indiana Nursing

    I will be. Just curious who else is out

  10. Drug Cards

    studentnurse74 replied to LouisianaNurse2006's topic in General Students

    Here's mine! (My instructor made them). I've listed them by brand name: 1. Hydrocodone w/APAP 2. Lipitor 3. Synthroid 4. Atenolol 5. Zithromax 6. Amoxicillin 7. Furosemide/Lasix 8....

  11. Pharm Terms, do you know what these stand for?

    studentnurse74 replied to Jill1215's topic in General Students

    Yep, and I can totally see why they're doing away with a lot of them. I work in a pharmacy, though, and I just can't see some of the doctors changing their ways. I'm sure you all know how they get...

  12. Moving to Indiana soon!!

    studentnurse74 replied to gn04's topic in Indiana Nursing

    I don't know about pay, I'm a student. Greenwood/southside of Indy is nice, but getting very crowded. I say southwest of Indy, Mooresville/Camby area. It's growing, but still nice and quiet. It's...

  13. A&P I.........Love it or hate it??

    studentnurse74 replied to SoulShine75's topic in General Students

    I would say that taking A and P with 4 other classes is a bit much. That's my opinion. I really had a hard time with that class. I did study a lot, and still got a C. I think I would've liked the...

  14. What is a "pool position"?

    studentnurse74 replied to FutureIsBlue's topic in General Nursing

    It is a Prn position, aka float pool. The place I worked did it like this: they posted all shifts over the next month that needed coverage, and you would sign up for whatever you wanted to work. If...

  15. Tell me the truth about being a CNA

    studentnurse74 replied to justkaren's topic in General Students

    I did it for a while and was miserable. You get all the crappy work, you're underpaid, underappreciated, etc. Some days I just literally cleaned up poop the whole shift. Sometimes I would have a...

  16. Got my new shoes!! Feet feel great!!

    studentnurse74 replied to kkbaroness's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    We don't need permission, however, they are VERY strict as to what type of shoes we can get,

  17. Got my new shoes!! Feet feel great!!

    studentnurse74 replied to kkbaroness's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Just checked them- they look right out of the circus! There is no way my director would allow those. Can you spring down the halls like Tigger?

  18. Text Books

    studentnurse74 replied to LouisianaNurse2006's topic in General Students

    WHAT!? That's the first I've heard. Why? What is going on? Please share. Aside from half.com, addall.com finds some really cheap books for

  19. comfortable clogs for clinicals???

    studentnurse74 replied to kkbaroness's topic in General Students

    I'm a shoe girl, too. It's going to be okay. We will get through nursing school, feet covered 100% and all. :chuckle I don't know what bothers me more. The limited shoe choices, or having to...

  20. Got my new shoes!! Feet feel great!!

    studentnurse74 replied to kkbaroness's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I've never heard of DRG. Do they have a

  21. Got my new shoes!! Feet feel great!!

    studentnurse74 replied to kkbaroness's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    They would probably allow it if you bring them a note from your doc.

  22. How do I interpret my NET score?

    studentnurse74 replied to grapejuice01's topic in General Students

    That percentile is the average NATIONWIDE of people taking the test, not your own group or facility. A lot of people don't pass the NET, which is why your composite score is lower than the percentile...

  23. A little dissappointed in allheart.com

    studentnurse74 replied to studentnurse74's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Thanks for the tip. I especially appreciate it when they put those sticky price tags right on the front of a picture

  24. comfortable clogs for clinicals???

    studentnurse74 replied to kkbaroness's topic in General Students

    My school won't allow clogs, either. I got Nursemates "Dove" shoe. It's a classic loafer, but so lightweight and comfy. I worked as an aide for a few years, and will wear nothing but Nursemates....

  25. When do the pre classes END!!!!!

    studentnurse74 replied to txspadequeenRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's GREAT. I feel for you. If I had taken it on campus, it would've been just 2 days a week, though, for about 4 hours each time. I do my labs at home, and drive to my nearest campus for the 4...
