  1. In need of encouragement.

    Icanseethefinishline replied to Sunny Lioness's topic in General Nursing

    I like this -- I used to journal regularly. It is definitely cathartic. But I like the addition of the "To Do" list -- it keeps you on your toes about your weak spots, but lets you put it aside for a...

  2. The future of hand washing?

    Icanseethefinishline posted a topic in General Students

    After an OB nurse bragged to me about the MRSA scar in her hand from a needle stick (my sister was her patient as she relayed the story), I have a pet peeve about hand washing. I never, not ONCE in...

  3. Failing and Making Decisions

    Icanseethefinishline posted a topic in General Students

    I failed second semester of my program. I was stunned, but not entirely surprised. It seemed that the harder I tried, the harder I studied, the more damage I did to my self-confidence. I now...

    Thank you! What a great

  5. How to organize school stuff??

    Icanseethefinishline replied to Rosiegirl0820's topic in General Students

    I have one -- It's basically a binder on steroids, though it's not big enough to hold everything for a semester. I keep everything that I need from test to test (we have four major ones) in the...

    Have you considered working with the developmentally

  7. Don't think I'm cut out for med/surg

    Icanseethefinishline posted a topic in General Students

    I went a little bananas the other day giving meds (PO and SubQ Lovenox) and changing a sterile dressing. I got really flustered and made a lot of mistakes, even though I prepped the night before. I...

  8. Don't think I'm cut out for med/surg

    Icanseethefinishline replied to Icanseethefinishline's topic in General Students

    Normally I wouldn't flip out like this. But the CI (new to us, 2nd rotation) has sent me to remediation. Even though she is known for this, it still freaks me out a bit. To add some insult, the...

  9. Failing and Making Decisions

    Icanseethefinishline replied to Icanseethefinishline's topic in General Students

    Update: I got back into the program this spring. There are 6 weeks left, and I am doing much better. I took the advice of most people and have been going over NCLEX questions quite a bit. Our...

  10. Should I include work history from a LONG time ago?

    Icanseethefinishline replied to luvapug's topic in General Nursing

    In addition, I would check to see if your former employment can be verified -- many businesses only keep records for 7 years, more or less. If you've earned any additional certifications (e.g. ACLS),...

  11. Failing and Making Decisions

    Icanseethefinishline replied to Icanseethefinishline's topic in General Students

    I hear ya on not going onto the pity party tangent. I'm not one to wallow in misery for long (it's exhausting!). But what is making that difficult right now is 1) I still have to attend my support...
