  1. What is your greatest fear in nursing.

    mrzgirl replied to Yiggs's topic in General Nursing

    This has to be my biggest fear - when all of the information crammed into my head from school becomes incompatible within my memory cache and causes a runtime error during a critical situation. Sorry...

  2. LONELINESS while in nursing school

    mrzgirl replied to cincin1222's topic in General Students

    Seeing your school's counselor isn't always an easy step, but it will be worth it. It's easy to get into the "study study study" slump in nursing school because it is so overwhelming! You may want to...

  3. What's the issue with med surg?

    mrzgirl replied to BABYJADE06's topic in General Nursing

    Although it's a shame to say, M/S rotation for the people in my clinical group was a very bad experience. We were on afternoon/night shift when most of the major meds for the day had already been...

  4. A day and life of a nursing student

    mrzgirl replied to CJ2blpn2017's topic in General Students

    First quarter/semester is definitely the most hectic time since you'll be getting used to the nursing school routine (i.e. study, study, study, sleep for 3 hours wake up drooling on your book, then...

  5. dilemma

    mrzgirl replied to carlarenee02's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Why let a little set back get to you? There were a few in my class who could not pass the drug calc exam the first time around, but with a little tutoring they are doing just fine. Sure, it's scary to...

  6. failed lift test, may have lost job offer..

    mrzgirl replied to lovescapeRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Wow, I can't believe there are some hospitals that bend over backwards to create "lift teams" for the sake of patients and nurses alike, and then there is this one exception hospital...If physical...

  7. Preceptorship

    mrzgirl posted a topic in General Nursing

    Tis the season to start figuring out where I want to precept! The problem is, any unit that I have come to enjoy during my clinical times is not an area where we are "allowed" to precept in (i.e. OB,...

  8. potential future nurse seeking wisdom from current nurses

    mrzgirl replied to George4life's topic in Nursing Career

    I was in a similar rut not too long ago with majors and career choices. If it's available to you from your school, you may want to consider going to a career counselor. They have a way of making you...

  9. Med Surg or ER for New Grad

    mrzgirl replied to BABYJADE06's topic in Nursing Career

    I'm still a student, but I recently posed a similar question to a 30-year veteran ICU nurse. She told me that if there is a specialty that you want to go into after graduation, then go for it. And...

  10. This forum is scaring me!

    mrzgirl replied to Laurel32's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing student here-- I've been told that school is nothing like what you will experience out in the real world. Forums like these aren't exactly the best place to come and find out about nursing...

  11. Irritating Classmates

    mrzgirl replied to ImThatGuy's topic in General Students

    WOW! Like other posters, I thought this only occurred in my class...Honestly, I thought the cliquey-ness, childishness, and constant asking for the answers to the test ended with high school....

  12. A Couple General Nursing School Questions

    mrzgirl replied to lifelearningrn's topic in General Students

    In my program, there is no flexibility whatsoever. As a matter of fact, at the end of every quarter the nursing office makes us sign a release form so they can enroll us in the next required classes -...

  13. Advice to nursing students from a hiring manager

    mrzgirl replied to Linda328's topic in General Students

    That's an interesting point, actually. I'm getting ready to go into my second year of ns right now, and from what I've seen so far, those with prior medical experience are having more trouble than...

  14. Ohio University - Regional Campuses

    mrzgirl replied to FutureMaleOhioNurse's topic in Ohio Nursing

    For starters, I hope that you have already heard that nursing school is no walk on the beach. Expect it to be difficult - the questions that you see at the end of your text book chapters are way...

  15. I am just so nervous

    mrzgirl replied to cupcake231's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm still waiting for a decision on my application as well, but judging from other classes that I've taken (where nursing students made up the majority), don't sweat too much. While most schools do...

  16. So Confused?

    mrzgirl replied to bravenscraft's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm still a student myself, but many a woman in my family has worked as either a LPN or STNA (nurse's aid). I was thinking about doing something similar to what you want to do with the LPN, but all of...

  17. Anatomy & Physiology I.. how did you study?

    mrzgirl replied to ChervRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    How "hard" A&P is really does depend on your professor. I had a very new professor for A&P1 who had only taught for 1 quarter before my class. She did nothing but read verbatim from her power...
