  1. How do you guys carry your stuff at Clincal?

    kk83 replied to kk83's topic in General Students

    Thanks for the advice =). I am just going into my second semester. We did have the option of a warmup jacket but honestly it's so hot in the facilities that I don't think I'd want to wear it, so I...

  3. How do you guys carry your stuff at Clincal?

    kk83 replied to kk83's topic in General Students

    Thanks - that's helpful. It's been tough to not have any place to put any personal items especially when we have to bring large packets of handouts, but we aren't supposed to leave them anywhere or...

  4. How do you guys carry your stuff at Clincal?

    kk83 replied to kk83's topic in General Students

    Seriously? Thanks for the response, but - not so helpful. We are advised to bring all of the items with us (besides the few small personal items I need such as cough drops, chapstick, and a mini...

  5. Netbooks for NS?

    kk83 replied to kk83's topic in General Students

    StefanyJoy - I wish I did! I have a Sam's membership and I usually use them for my electronic's needs, but the only netbooks they had was the Dell Inspiron or a Sony one with only a 4 hour charge

  6. Netbooks for NS?

    kk83 replied to kk83's topic in General Students

    Ok so the Walmart one is not going to work out. She told me it was silver and surprise, it's blue! I found the "raspberry" color by calling around to a few Best Buys and it's 319 there w/o a sleeve....

  7. Netbooks for NS?

    kk83 replied to kk83's topic in General Students

    Thank you! I think I am going to try out the HP 210. It has a 93% size keyboard which is good for me since I have "chubby" fingers. I think the price at Walmart is 339 which includes a laptop sleeve....

    kk83 replied to hdawnRN's topic in General Students

  9. What kind of BAG do I carry all this stuff in?

    kk83 replied to pedneurornhopeful's topic in General Students

    I have to bring all my books since I don't take my car to school with me. I have long breaks between classes sometimes and I need every moment of that precious time to study =). I got a Jansport...

  10. Financial loans stress

    kk83 replied to newtotown's topic in General Students

    That would stress me out, but it all depends on what your options are. If nursing is your dream profession and this is the only school you want or are able to get into right now - that's totally your...

  11. Ever had confusion on if Nursing if right for you?

    kk83 replied to LC1984's topic in General Students

  12. CONFUSED...I thought 1 yr into a 2yr RN program, you can b LPN???

    kk83 replied to fleurafor's topic in General Students

    At our school, we can't test to be an LPN after a year. I think it depends on the program/state. I'm in NY

  13. I am very scared....

    kk83 replied to CHRISTINE HEARTS's topic in General Students

    Good luck! With a really good schedule and lots of discipline, you can do it =). I finished my first semester and am headed back this coming week for semester 2 and I still have the "jitters". The...

  14. How do you stay sexy in nursing school

    kk83 replied to 2bnurseforce1's topic in General Students

    Honestly, I didn't wear makeup more than once to clinical this semester. By the time I'd get to bed it would be midnight and I had to be up at 5 am to get ready and be there on time. I always...

  15. Study, work, workout?

    kk83 replied to Samantha11481's topic in General Students

    I haven't worked out at all this semester and packed on some weight because of it. I plan on setting a realistic goal of 3-4 times per week and my husband is going to sign up at the gym at my college...

    kk83 replied to Jojii's topic in General Students

    I just finished my first semester - along with taking A&P and all I can say is no matter how lazy or burnt out you may feel *read* your chapters beforehand! I am taking my own advice next...

  18. Not wanting to work at hospital?

    kk83 replied to momof2prettygirls's topic in General Students

    I don't think I want to work in a hospital. I've toyed with the idea of maybe working at a Children's hospital someday though. I'd really like to work in a doctor's office preferably -- at least I...

  19. A & P and Nursing = Stress Overload

    kk83 replied to kk83's topic in General Students

    Thank you - that helps! I am passing in AP Lab - but I'm in the C range and being a 4.0 type student it's hard to take because I feel like a failure. But with all the work, I feel like once one thing...

  20. A & P and Nursing = Stress Overload

    kk83 posted a topic in General Students

    I know there are probably a bunch of posts on stress that I could have searched through - but literally I'm too "stressed" to search. My main stress is really coming from the fact that I'm taking...

  21. Any good sites for practice NCLEX questions?

    kk83 posted a topic in General Students

    I have a fundamentals test taking skills book in the mail to me - but I have a test this week and was wondering about extra resources for questions. We have practice ones that come w/our book - but...

  22. Do you actually READ your nursing books or just skim?

    kk83 replied to starmickey03's topic in General Students

    I've been having a lot of problems with this. When there are 100 pages a week in one class to read - I know it's a lot but it's doable (even with other heavy reading classes). Where I have a problem...

  23. Has anyone gotten pregnant and continued w/NS?

    kk83 posted a topic in General Students

    I was just curious. I'm just about to turn 27 and my husband is going to be 36 in January. I've seen so much about people who have difficulty getting pregnant - that it scares me to wait until I'm 29...

  24. Has anyone gotten pregnant and continued w/NS?

    kk83 replied to kk83's topic in General Students

    I feel exactly like this. It's really nice to know that there are others out there around my same age that feel the same way. So many people look at me like I'm nuts, but the older I get the more a...

  25. How do you take notes for class, anyway?

    kk83 replied to allthingsbright's topic in General Students

    We print off outlines and I take my notes directly onto the outlines. If I need clarification later on a topic - I google and either print out helpful info or add that to my already written on...
