    Well, WE don't have access to Pyxis by ourselves but from what we've been told, our clinical instructor won't either. We aren't going to be given a patient so we won't need to do care plans. But, I'm...

    Got some more good news today.... :/ Our hospital still has paper charting until next week. After they "go live" with the computers, the students won't have access to the Pyxis or the patient charts....

    Nursing School is not hard but....

    CrazierThanYou replied to Ellis02136's topic in General Students

    The very beginning of nursing school was tough for me but since then, it has been pretty easy. Sure, we have a lot of reading and a ton of busy work, but it isn't hard. I just read the chapters and...

    CrazierThanYou replied to CrazierThanYou's topic in General Students

    Allow me to reiterate, I ABSOLUTELY DO NOT mind doing CNA duties and I am aware that I may be doing it on the job. But for RIGHT now, I need to be learning to be a REGISTERED NURSE. That is what I am...

    CrazierThanYou replied to CrazierThanYou's topic in General Students

    In our case, we do all know those skills because CNA certification is required for our program. One thing that makes it worse, is the 5 other clinical groups aren't spending all of their clinical...

    So besides nursing school, what do you all do in your spare time?

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

    During my free time, I live my life. We were told that same stuff about how you'll have no life. I have to say, my life hasn't been much busier than it was before I started nursing school. Sure, I...

    CrazierThanYou replied to EveeRN's topic in General Students

    I've been told time and time again that the real learning comes when you get on the job. I would be thrilled to only have 5 weeks! I have 22 more weeks! Counting them down! Good

    How to deal with a horrible clinical instructor?

    CrazierThanYou replied to chinacatSN's topic in General Students

    How will a bad transcript affect my future goals?

    CrazierThanYou replied to loveishope's topic in General Students

    As the above poster says, you can probably retake them and get a better grade. As far as elapsed time, that will depend on schools or area. I had to have every transcript before I could complete my...

    When to go for BSN?

    CrazierThanYou replied to aachavez's topic in General Students
