    Book buying tips

    CrazierThanYou replied to JeanettePNP's topic in General Students

    I've bought older editions and international editions many times with NO problems. I have a nursing textbook right now that I bought the newest edition and the older one of. They're exactly the same....

    New Graduation Requirements, Can They Do This?

    CrazierThanYou replied to Jen D's topic in General Students

    I've been hearing about a lot of schools that are doing that now. I've heard mine is going to but I don't have that officially. If we do have to take the class, we better not have to pay for

    I showed emotion in front my clinical instructor - is that bad?

    CrazierThanYou replied to Hellostudentnurssee's topic in General Students

    I took school bus driver training and cried. I can't believe I haven't yet cried at clinical. KNOCK ON WOOD! Don't worry about it. It's probably not the first time it's

    CrazierThanYou replied to student89's topic in General Students

    I don't have any advice, I'm sorry, but I do have some questions. A classmate told me that she heard that St Jude will reimburse you for gas and accomodations if you work for them and live more than 3...

    Does pre-req science classes expire for nursing program?

    CrazierThanYou replied to michiboo's topic in General Students

    Yeah, it's going to depend on your school. Mine accepted an A & P class I had 10 years ago but some won't take them more than 2-5 years

    Pharmacology.... Any suggestions?

    CrazierThanYou replied to BrandySalinas's topic in General Students

    From what I hear, its just a luck of the draw. Some people get a lot of one thing while another gets none of it. You just never

    ADN Curriculum.. does this look right?

    CrazierThanYou replied to AaronsMommyxx's topic in General Students

    At my school, finishing pre reqs ahead of time isn't REQUIRED but it is RECOMMENDED. I had all mine finished but many of my classmates are doing extra stuff. We can't change our classes around either....

    Did you find Med-Surg class much harder than fundamentals?

    CrazierThanYou replied to northmississippi's topic in General Students

    Fundamentals was hardest for me but I think it wasn't because of the subject matter but because of making the adjustment to the world of nursing

    Best Practices, Tips or Advice on Physical Assessments

    CrazierThanYou replied to live&love&heal's topic in General Students

    We had to learn this head to toe assessment in first semester but I have yet to see a nurse actually do that. Do you not hear the lung and heart sounds or do you mean you don't know what you're...

    Overwhelming....

    CrazierThanYou replied to snk2503's topic in General Students

    First semester was incredibly overwhelming for me. I cried every night when I got home. I actually called the school to see how much money I would get back if I dropped out. But my husband convinced...

    How do you respond??

    CrazierThanYou replied to SunshineDaisy's topic in General Students

    Just try to let it roll off your back. I have had some patients that weren't very friendly but not downright rude. I'm not sure what I would say or do, actually... Sorry that happened, try not to let...

    Nursing Books

    CrazierThanYou replied to Blessed08's topic in General Students

    I shop around on probably every single website that sells used books! Yes, it is time consuming but I save tons of money. I have also been known to buy older editions and international editions. No...

    Are your nursing school tests timed?

    CrazierThanYou replied to tlc2u's topic in General Students

    We get 60 minutes for 50 questions tests. On quizzes, we get one minute per question and we use clickers so each question is individually

    Work as a CNA while in Nursing School?

    CrazierThanYou replied to MomBak2Skool's topic in General Students

    Preceptorship blues

    CrazierThanYou replied to weirhead69's topic in General Students

    My clinical experience has been lame as Hades. I have a post on it and I've seen a couple others lamenting their crappy clinical experiences. Even better, our school no longer does the preceptorship...

    CrazierThanYou replied to CNA2day's topic in General Students

    I had the same situation. I'd been claiming myself on my taxes since I was 16 but until I had a baby at 24, I still had to include my parents income. I have 3 laptops that all came from ebay for...

    We have an instructor that seems to have a meltdown every single day of clinical, screaming in students faces, cursing, etc. She always apologizes but clearly this woman has some

    CrazierThanYou replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    Are you at my school??? Wow, we are on semesters but that sounds just like this semester. VERY disorganized and everything is so vague! I am also fresh out of motivation! Good luck to you! I've got 6...

    CrazierThanYou replied to Fannie'sMom's topic in General Students
