  1. Things you would love to say to your fellow nursing students!

    DayDreamin ER CRNP replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    "Why do you even bother coming to class if all you and your buddy are going to do is talk about how much you drank or whatever the weekend before? Yeah, I told y'all to 'shut up' today but, dangit,...

  2. What can I do now to get into L&D?

    DayDreamin ER CRNP replied to heatherhammy's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Can you precept in L&D? That is what a lot of students do at my school. Don't you also do a clinical rotation through L&D? You might find out about any aid or tech jobs this way. The main...

  3. UAH acceptance?

    DayDreamin ER CRNP replied to litchi's topic in Alabama Nursing

    I'm in UAH CON. We didn't get our letters until just before finals. I know how stressful this waiting period is but try to be a little patient.

  4. Suggestions of what to do before nursing school

    DayDreamin ER CRNP replied to SASlong's topic in General Nursing

    I'd definitely get your BLS certifications. Most schools/clincials require them anyway so you might as well get those out of the way. You could try to get a job in the hospital or other health care...

    DayDreamin ER CRNP replied to heatherhammy's topic in General Students

    DayDreamin ER CRNP replied to scrbslvr's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I wear Alegrias and LOVE them. I'm still in school but I'm working as a tech at night too so I'm on my feet a lot. I don't have the professional Alegrias but I have a regular pair of clogs. I have...

  9. Can someone please help me answer this question?

    DayDreamin ER CRNP replied to DayDreamin ER CRNP's topic in General Students

    haaaaahaaahaaahaa!!!! It was a terrible question. Many of this teacher's test questions are like this. There were about 10 that we just did the whole "doggie head tilt" when we read them. They...

  10. Has anyone failed a test? I need some encouragement!

    DayDreamin ER CRNP replied to silly32girl's topic in General Students

    I completely agree!!! Go with your gut!! It took me a semester to convince myself that I needed to do that. I got a test back and it was much lower than expected. I talked to the teacher and she...

    DayDreamin ER CRNP replied to Mell Bell's topic in General Students

  12. Can someone please help me answer this question?

    DayDreamin ER CRNP replied to DayDreamin ER CRNP's topic in General Students

  13. How much free water/fluid do you count 1/2 cup applesauce as?

    DayDreamin ER CRNP replied to yogastudentRN's topic in General Nursing

    Yep. That. We only count things that are liquid at room temperature - water, coffee, broth, ice cream, jello and popsicles. Any pudding or applesauce doesn't count as liquid.

  14. Is it legal to call yourself "Nurse" when you in fact are not?

    DayDreamin ER CRNP replied to LoveMyDaughters's topic in General Nursing

    I have yet to meet a PA that isn't assy and arrogant. At least they are in my hospital anyway. And congrats on the graduation!!! I'm graduating next May! I know you are so excited!!!!

  15. How scary was your fist clinical experience?

    DayDreamin ER CRNP replied to aem31's topic in General Students

    I wasn't nervous really but I was anxious. We were pretty prepared for the clinical because we had 3 days in the skills lab to specifically prepare us for our first visit in the nursing home. In...

  16. Co-worker selling her own prescription meds!

    DayDreamin ER CRNP replied to Purple_Scrubs's topic in General Nursing

    sounds to me like she was baiting you a little to see if you would buy them or trying to justify what she did. I see people selling their elderly, decreased family members' meds ALL the time. It is...

  17. Can someone please help me answer this question?

    DayDreamin ER CRNP replied to DayDreamin ER CRNP's topic in General Students

    I totally agree that it is a poorly worded question. We have been struggling with this issue for most of the semester. I'm not sure if this is a teacher-made or database question but it is from an...

    DayDreamin ER CRNP replied to DayDreamin ER CRNP's topic in General Nursing

    Like I said, I know she was excited to be a new RN graduate and I hope to have those same excited feelings a year from now when I get my BSN. I don't fault her for wanting to elevate herself. I do,...

  19. Can someone please help me answer this question?

    DayDreamin ER CRNP replied to DayDreamin ER CRNP's topic in General Students

    ok. Would it be "Have you traveled out of the country?" because that would imply that the client has been on a plane for an extended period of time that might cause a DVT which could cause these...

  20. wrinkled scrubs

    DayDreamin ER CRNP replied to wishiwereanurse's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I iron my scrubs. Even my so-called "no iron" scrubs aren't completely wrinkle free even if I pull them right out of the drier and put them

  21. How will I juggle school and family - advice?

    DayDreamin ER CRNP replied to Nurse2bESK's topic in General Students

    I'm a single mom but I will give my ex major props for stepping up and making sure I have very few worries on the home front. For me, that is KEY. My 10 year old dd is one busy little girl and it...
