    Can diabetic educators be fat?

    tokyoROSE replied to Heinz beans's topic in General Students

    That is very hypocritical to me. I feel very strongly about weight issues and obesity, even more now that I'm a nurse-to-be. How can I preach to my patients that a balanced diet and exercise is the...

    Minor is Spanish?

    tokyoROSE replied to Tara:)'s topic in General Students

    A couple of my classmates have minors. We have two years of prereqs so that is how they are able to do it. They also do a class here and there during some nursing semesters. Go for it, Spanish is a...

    tokyoROSE replied to AD1ZONC's topic in General Students

    Let me start and say don't give up on your dreams. You can make it happen. However... I'll need to know some more details. WHY do you think you are getting these grades? Is it the test? The material?...

    I did some modeling before I started nursing and here's some tips- Solid color -- whatever looks good on your skin tone. Makeup -- if you wear makeup, put it on heavier than usual. The camera washes...

    Unsure about which route to take to be a RN

    tokyoROSE replied to Dream_Chaser14's topic in General Students

    Of course BSN is more expensive, its two more years of school! Since you have the option, you should get your RN, work and most places will help you pay or pay for your BSN. There is hardly a pay...

    Does nursing school seem like Dog Years to anyone else??

    tokyoROSE replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in General Students

    Oh goodness thats exactly how I feel. I'm in my second semester and looking back, I can't believe how much I've learned in such a short period of time. I can't remember what life was like pre-nursing...

    Does anyone dislike the medsurg clinical experience?

    tokyoROSE replied to ERsn's topic in General Students

    For me, medsurg is boring. On our unit, an ortho unit, it is the same thing day in and day out. I do enjoy seeing all the different patients, from teens to geriatrics. So far, all the nurses and...

    How long until you stop feeling like you got your butt kicked?

    tokyoROSE replied to HyperSaurus, RN's topic in General Students

    We have a 12 hour clinical as well as a 8 hour clinical every week. I am young so I am fine after a long day. Once I told my classmates at conference that I could do another 12, they all looked at me...

    Nursing school Vs. Nursing Prereqs

    tokyoROSE replied to tag2007's topic in General Students

    Pre-reqs are pure memorization. Anyone can do that, some better than others obviously. Nursing school is all about application and no one can tell you the change is hard or not. For some it just...

    OR rotation

    tokyoROSE replied to brokenroads27's topic in General Students

    I thought OR was very fascinating, but I agree that OR nursing is very boring. It is a different type of nursing. However I did take an interest in pre-op and PACU nurses as they seem to see more...

    CWI vs Apollo vs BSU

    tokyoROSE replied to uRabbit's topic in General Nursing

    This is way late, but I'd like to give more specific info about BSU's program for future references. COST: Roughly ~2.5k tuition/semester. You'll need to figure in costs of books and supplies and...

    Apollo College RN bridge program

    tokyoROSE replied to eurolpn2007's topic in General Nursing

    That is a ridiculous rumor. Please don't say things you can't back up. Fact is, BSU has never been in trouble with the BON, our NCLEX passing rate is over 90% and our retention rate is similarly high...

    List of supplies to buy for a new Nursing Student

    tokyoROSE replied to hearts895, RN BSN's topic in General Students

    Our SNA sells these clipboards with all sorts of tables on them, mostly normal lab values, abbreviations, etc that really help with clinicals. Organization is a huge thing for me. I use a big...

    IV Stick on first try!!!!

    tokyoROSE replied to OhioCCRN's topic in General Students

    I did my first IV this week too and it was no biggie! I think us nursing students intimidate ourselves way too much, making things appear more difficult than it is. I barely put the needle in and saw...

    Anyone regret ever having stepped foot in nursing school?

    tokyoROSE replied to summersent's topic in General Students

    I attend a wonderful nursing school, and I don't ever regret going. However, yes, I'm going to complain, that they are sometimes over the top with the assignments and projects. We have a bunch of one...

    How Hard is Nursing School?

    tokyoROSE replied to MiahMSN's topic in General Students

    Nursing school is difficult in a different way than A&P, pathophysiology, microbiology. . . 90% it is not just memorization. Test questions are that ALL the answers are right but you have to pick...

    Hardest part of nursing school

    tokyoROSE replied to ITALY123's topic in General Students

    The most difficult thing for me is the tests. They are definitely different from other tests... and it just takes time to get used to them. Overall nursing school isn't difficult, it is just very...
