  1. Dropping the Honors Program?

    SerenePeach posted a topic in General Students

    Hello all, I am currently enrolled in my school's Honors Program right now, but I am seriously thinking about dropping it. How bad would a 'W' look on my transcipt for the Honors Program? For our...

  2. So, we don't learn how to do IVs in nursing school?

    SerenePeach replied to i<3u's topic in General Students

    We learned how to insert IVs and give injections during the second semester (out of four) in my nursing school. Once we practiced in lab, we were able to use that skill in clinical. I've only had once...

  3. What Is Your Definition/Perception of an Amazing Instructor?

    SerenePeach replied to Iridescent Orchid's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A great teacher to me is able to command respect in the classroom while still being friendly - I want a 'nice' teacher but I hate it when students walk all over a teacher or a teacher can't control...

  4. Where do you sit in lecture

    SerenePeach replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    I like to sit in the middle...about 3 or 4 rows back from the front. I don't like sitting up at the very front with the teacher in my personal space lol. It can be intimidating like ashleyisawesome...

  5. Is it too late to apply for a year-round externship?

    SerenePeach posted a topic in General Students

    Hi everyone, I'm a nursing student entering my 3rd semester this fall (I graduate May 2012). I want to apply for a nursing externship, but I'm not sure if it's too late. I'm trying to decide between...

  6. How was your Psych rotation?

    SerenePeach replied to starmickey03's topic in General Students

    My psych rotation was rather boring. I was at a self-pay private hospital....everyone there had a lot of money or their parents had a lot of money. I was on the professionals in crisis unit, and I...

  7. Clinical Post Conference

    SerenePeach replied to lansgrl123's topic in General Students

    Post conferences can be okay if they have structure - each person gets to talk about their experience or day for a couple of minutes, and I say the post conference should be no longer than 1 hour. I...

    SerenePeach replied to NurseBunky's topic in General Students

  9. East Asian Languages and Culture Major ---> Transition to Nursing?

    SerenePeach replied to Lowbrid's topic in General Students

    I don't know what the direct-entry graduate programs are like, but I graduated with a BA in Liberal Arts (I took exactly ONE science course and ONE math course during my 4 yr stint) and I was able to...

    SerenePeach replied to mjbayuda's topic in Texas Nursing

    Thanks for your reply Saphira. I'm a second semester Nursing student at UT now, and I'm learning a lot here. Although I do have a previous degree, I'm in the traditional program and I think that is...

  12. Class Website/File sharing Options?

    SerenePeach replied to LuckyinKY's topic in General Students

    How about dropbox.com or Wiggio.com? I'm not sure what the memory/storage space is for those websites, but those are options you can check out. I use both for my classes to share files. Dropbox...

  13. UT Health Science Center Houston teachers

  14. No jobs...Seriously reconsider nursing school

    SerenePeach replied to Cleopf01's topic in Texas Nursing

    I just wanted to offer a ray of sunshine - my friend's little sister who is graduating from UTMB this May just got a job offer today for MD Anderson :) I only know a few seniors at my nursing school,...

  15. Does Houston need another nursing school? University of St. Thomas plans on opening

    SerenePeach replied to Cleopf01's topic in Texas Nursing

    There was a short-lived thread about this when it was first announced, and I feel the same way as you all do: we do NOT need another nursing program here in Houston. We have PLENTY of programs...

  16. First Semester Students, How's it going so far?

    SerenePeach replied to mangopeach's topic in General Students

    Just took my last regular test before Finals. Got an 88. I am so tired of making 88's on my exams! It is ridiculous how many 88s I have earned, and it's a little depressing, because I might as well...

  17. The Wait

    SerenePeach replied to CASM's topic in General Students

  18. Anyone made it through Nsg school WITHOUT caffeine , Adderall, or Red Bull??

    SerenePeach replied to Trilldayz,RN BSN's topic in General Students

    I don't drink any coffee, Redbull or any of those energy drinks, and I'm doing just fine in my first semester of my BSN program! My secret is to get at least 6 hours of sleep each night (but...

  19. Planning to have a baby.. new nurse

    SerenePeach replied to Meese.C's topic in General Nursing

    Can you wait and plan to get pregnant 4-5 months after you've found a job? That way, you'll be employed for 12 months (if you have a relatively 'normal' pregnancy not requiring bedrest) and take...

  20. A&P II in 4 weeks?

    SerenePeach replied to 2011NursingStudent's topic in General Students

    I took A & P II as a 4 week summer class, and I would recommend it if you are fairly strong in science. It goes by really fast, and you need to dedicate a lot of time outside of class to reading...

  21. What's your nursing school diet?

    SerenePeach replied to Despareux's topic in General Students

    My diet and exercise regimen have been really terrible since I started nursing school. I eat A LOT of fast food now - I try to cook but I just don't have the time to prep, cook and do the dishes like...

    SerenePeach replied to Loux's topic in Nursing Career

    I just popped in to say...Really?? Wow. Makes me wonder about how the people in your class got into the school. I would think that the majority of the people in my class (and any nursing school) would...
