  1. farrmer's wife w/kids......and NO help!

    mercuryrawks replied to naenae1979's topic in General Students

    I have young kids--4,3 and 1, and basically no help as well. My husband works, and my mom and brother are not very helpful. It is beyond our budget for daycare and we don't know anyone to babysit!...

  2. All current first semester students

    mercuryrawks replied to tiffanyleigh0212's topic in General Students

    I, too, am winding down my first semester. I got a last minute acceptance to the program, so I was a bundle of chaotic nerves. But, once in class everything fell into place. I love school. I am...

  3. Pregnant during nursing school?

    mercuryrawks replied to heatherhammy's topic in General Students

    I wouldn't plan getting pregnant during nursing school, but maybe because I have to be on Zofran the entire time, just to limit my puking to min 3times a day. I don't do pregnant very well. I...

  4. uh oh- the drama begins.....

    mercuryrawks replied to LunaFae's topic in General Students

    I am experiencing the same, but I don't get involved in it. I just watch and laugh. You can almost do a casting call in your head of each stereotype, and watch that person act it out every...

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

    mercuryrawks replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    I wouldn't be trying to "sell" anyone anything. But, to slap a laboring mom on her back, and then declare her pelvis is too small is.....just wrong. To act like choosing between breast milk and...

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

    mercuryrawks replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    I am doing my best to prep for my OB rounds because I am that mother. I have very strong beliefs, and opinions, and my face just doesn't hide my thoughts very well. I am open minded, and realize...

  7. Graduation Gift

    mercuryrawks replied to mrosev14's topic in General Students

    My mom is a big fan of the "Mother of a ....." kinds of things. I would get her something from Things Remembered maybe. Like a coffee travel mug that says " Mom of an RN" or go to a ceramic paint...

  8. Good clinical day.....

    mercuryrawks replied to CrunchyMama's topic in General Students

    Well, lets hope that tiny bit of help (in the grand scheme of things) was that little push she needed to keep going and feed her baby for months and months to come! I have seen so many moms "give up"...

  9. Help with Care Plans

    mercuryrawks replied to rn/writer's topic in General Students

    Man, you guys are amazing! This site gets better and better every day. I am so glad I found it!! Here is my own deal... I am in my first semester. We are behind because of insane snow storms, but...

  10. Question about equal pay for equal work...

    mercuryrawks replied to jschut's topic in General Nursing

    I see where roser is coming from. As a former HR manager in an electronics chain for several years, we also had a "do not discuss pay" policy. Often I would have a supervisor come up and complain...

  11. Moms w/ little ones, who watches the kids?

    mercuryrawks replied to 2bnurseTV's topic in General Students

    I have a 4.5yo, 3 yo and 18mo old. It is not easy. I am a VERY hands on mom, refuse to let the tv babysit them, and refuse to put them in daycare, not that we could afford it. I have been a SAHM...

  12. NJ Hospital and Starting Salary

    mercuryrawks replied to A.Manning's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    So, totally off topic, but it seems funny to think of a 40ish lady named Ashley. It is so popular with like the tween age group!

  14. Ocean County College OCC Nursing Waiting List

    mercuryrawks replied to yossisiegel's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    Well, I hope for your sake they get on the ball about getting out those acceptance letters! They said in the testing center it was a 3 hour test. I was done, at most, in an hour and a half. I was...

  15. Ocean County College OCC Nursing Waiting List

    mercuryrawks replied to yossisiegel's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    Wait, what? why would you only have until April to take it for September? We had until January 4th or 6th, I forget, to pass it. For the semester that starts on Jan 25th. I just took mine on Dec...

  16. Ocean County College OCC Nursing Waiting List

    mercuryrawks replied to yossisiegel's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    I know people say "buy a study guide!" but I never did. I went to the "pre-nursing student" board on here. They have a sticky for the TEAS. I went through one of those threads, and c&p what...

  17. Ocean County College OCC Nursing Waiting List

    mercuryrawks replied to yossisiegel's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    They say that clinicals CAN be any day of the week, including weekends, but it looks like they are all weekdays this semester. 7-4. But I only looked at nursing 1. The onsite/online classes have...

  18. Nursing school starts Tuesday!!

    mercuryrawks replied to capemay5143's topic in General Students

    I am at a community college in NJ and I start on the 25th. I am BEYOND a nervous wreck, mainly because they haven't told us anything I haven't learned on here. I want to know the SPECIFICS for the...

  19. Looking for interesting research ideas for obstetric research paper

    mercuryrawks replied to zia238's topic in General Students

    Just a tip, if you want feedback only from experienced nurses...you might not get those responses typing on a student board. Try the OB board. I'll throw my 2 cents in, though I am not an experienced...

    mercuryrawks replied to rn2be2006's topic in General Students

    Ok, I went on my shopping trip today. MOST all the must haves were on sale at Staples today. The only things I haveto get are retractable highlighters and sharpies. I could only find ultrathin...

    The Pre Nursing Student board has a sticky for TEAS test help. There are a bunch of science questions posted there.

  22. TEAS TEST HELP

    mercuryrawks replied to dorothyrose's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I never bought any review book, and I passed with flying colors. I DID go to the PRE-NURSING STUDENT board on here, and went through the TEAS test help sticky thread. I copied and pasted what...

  25. school grants

    mercuryrawks replied to Mikessa's topic in General Students

    Student Loans are "entitled money". You do not need to be approved, unless you are in a current default on another student loan. Be sure to only take what you NEED, because even though the interest...
