  1. Nursing Entrance Exam

    RedSox33RN replied to luvmypatients's topic in General Nursing

    I took the NLN recently, and there are books out there for each. Try a search on eBay or half.com. (No need getting a new book, right?) For the most part, these tests are going to cover general...

  2. I got a scholarship! :)

    RedSox33RN replied to manna's topic in General Students

    That's wonderful about the scholarship money, Manna!! Hopefully you'll be able to find some more of it hiding in some corners and under the rug. :chuckle I know I'm looking everywhere also....

  3. Crying, Cursing in Class and other Drama

    RedSox33RN replied to Sheri257's topic in General Students

    It's a shame, really. It would be a good opportunity to look at how you react to stressful situations, but also to correct your test-taking proceedures. If you have trouble with tests, a lot of...

  4. Need "non-see through" white scrub pants

    RedSox33RN posted a topic in General Students

    I just got my list of needed scrubs and lab coats. I need to get white, "non see through" pants. Can anyone tell me which ones are the best, non-see through ones? I only see one pair of those at...

  5. Need "non-see through" white scrub pants

    RedSox33RN replied to RedSox33RN's topic in General Students

    Good

  6. Quarter system vs. Semester system

    RedSox33RN replied to CaterpillarGirl's topic in General Students

    I've never done quarters before, only semesters. The nursing school I'm attending in the fall has semesters also. One of the schools I applied to for the fall (but haven't heard from yet) offers AD,...

  7. Need "non-see through" white scrub pants

    RedSox33RN replied to RedSox33RN's topic in General Students

    Thank you! I'll have to look at Wally-World. I never thought of there. I heard JC Penney also sells similar pants/scrubs. How many pairs do you think I'd need doing clinical 2-3 days a week. I do...

  8. nursing admission test

    RedSox33RN replied to sonja24's topic in General Students

    You need to find out the admission requirements for the schools you want to apply to. I took the NLN before I had taken any pre-req's, and that was back in 1993. I just wanted to see how I would do....

  9. Is there a lotion you guys know of to thicken my skin?

    RedSox33RN replied to JacelRN's topic in General Nursing

    I was going to say the same thing as cyberkat. Just ask politely if you can try now (or next time). You are, after all, there to practice, not just the book stuff! Good luck!

  10. Chronic UTIs

    RedSox33RN replied to Jill - Pa's topic in General Nursing

    Your MD is right, you should see a urologist. I went through the same thing just before I got married. I was diagnosed with a UTI every month, just days before my period started. Finally the month...

  11. How 'bout breast reduction

    RedSox33RN replied to Jrnalist2RNinOR's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for the PM, Jrnalist2RN. They are very helpful! Thank you also for your info, Lori. Macey (my daughter) hasn't asked about anything yet, and luckily doesn't seem too embarrassed (only...

  12. Daycare help for nursing student

    RedSox33RN replied to sherichance's topic in General Nursing

    Do you get financial aid for your schooling? If you do, there are some programs, though the exact nature of them escapes me, that build child-care into a financial aid package. I think it depends on...

  13. so what happens if someone in your class cheats?

    RedSox33RN replied to mitchsmom's topic in General Students

    That is just so wrong, in so many ways. And for your grade to drop a whole letter grade because of it.....that is just unbelievable. I'd be so peeved. I hope you take it as far as you can. It is...

  14. How 'bout breast reduction

    RedSox33RN replied to Jrnalist2RNinOR's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for your replies. I do feel so badly for my daughter. She deals with it well emotionally, but I know she doesn't like it one bit. I know the only thing we can do right now is to make sure...

  15. GETTING WRITTEN UP: What is the most ridiculous thing you have been written up for?

    RedSox33RN replied to greeneggsnham's topic in General Nursing

    I must admit, I'm shocked at the one that was written up for not wearing make-up. I don't wear make-up at all, as I'm sure a lot of women don't. What would be the reasoning behind this? "Hey woman,...

  16. GETTING WRITTEN UP: What is the most ridiculous thing you have been written up for?

    RedSox33RN replied to greeneggsnham's topic in General Nursing

    That was very sweet (no pun intended!! :rotfl: ) of you! As a Type 1 diabetic, I know what it is like to be left out of things like that, and no way should you have been written up for something as...

  17. How 'bout breast reduction

    RedSox33RN replied to Jrnalist2RNinOR's topic in General Nursing

    I am so afraid this may be an option for my daughter at some point. I am only a small B cup, but at the ripe age of 13, she is already in a D, with NO signs of slowing down. She hates the big "old...

  18. so what happens if someone in your class cheats?

    RedSox33RN replied to mitchsmom's topic in General Students

    That is a terrible way of giving a test, but........ it still doesn't give anyone the right to cheat or try to cheat. IMO, you can give a test with the answers stapled on the back, and tell people...

  19. How will being diabetic affect my chances...

    RedSox33RN posted a topic in General Nursing

    ...... of working as an OR nurse? I'm finishing up my pre-req's now, and have 2 tentative (*knock on wood*) acceptances to nursing school for the fall. I know that my being a Type 1 will come up...

  20. How will being diabetic affect my chances...

    RedSox33RN replied to RedSox33RN's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you everyone! You've made me feel much better about my decision to try and be an OR nurse. :) I'm sorry to hear about your eye problems, Steph. That is the one thing I am most afraid of with...

  21. How will being diabetic affect my chances...

    RedSox33RN replied to RedSox33RN's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for your replies. :) I know some OR cases are very long, and that is why I thought the pump would be such a God-send. If my basal rate is set correctly, I don't have to eat at all - no...

  22. Did anyone take Medical Terminology course?

    RedSox33RN replied to RedSox33RN's topic in General Students

    If you are good at memorization, you could probably do it. I haven't taken A&P yet, but have heard that there is a TON of studying and memorizing. Same with M.T. BUT.......I have found that my...

  23. Did anyone take Medical Terminology course?

    RedSox33RN replied to RedSox33RN's topic in General Students

    Teg9~ I am in the middle of this course right now, and you're right, there is a TON of memorization. But I have found that it is getting easier, because once you know the word roots and meanings...

  24. Do you have a student nurses association...

    RedSox33RN replied to jenrninmi's topic in General Students

    I hope to joing a SNA when (or if! LOL) I get accepted into an RN program. I think the study aspect alone would be such a great benefit, but also being with people going through and studying what you...

  25. I took nclex this morning

    RedSox33RN replied to pcat's topic in First Year After Licensure

    congratulations!!
