  1. What do you eat at 5am for breakfast?

    kk83 replied to sandyfeet's topic in General Students

    I'll either have a V8, V8 fusion, or a banana. On one of our 5-10 minute breaks I'll have a Cliff Kid's Z bar or a Fiber 1 bar (any type like that really). I drink a lot of water all day so usually...

  2. What do your schedules look like?

    kk83 posted a topic in General Students

    I don't work and only have my dogs, husband and myself of course - to take care of when I get home. I have never been an early morning person and on my 8 am days - 3 per week I am only getting about 4...

  3. What do your schedules look like?

    kk83 replied to kk83's topic in General Students

    Cjungen - that's a good idea. I'm going to have to realize breaking it down into mini sessions works out just as well as a long stretch where I lose focus (if not better). ErinRn2bB - Good for you...

  4. What do your schedules look like?

    kk83 replied to kk83's topic in General Students

    Wanttobe - I have total respect for those that work and have families and do it all. I have been a stay at home housewife for basically 5 years - so I've had absolutely no perfect schedule to adhere...

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

    kk83 replied to kk83's topic in General Students

    I guess what I was thinking was that if I got pregnant - I could continue NS all throughout my pregnancy (as long as there were no complications) - take a leave of absence and come back potentially...

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

    kk83 replied to kk83's topic in General Students

    Wow, I am so glad I posted this! I really expected a mixed response or a lot of negativity. It's a tough call because on one hand - I (we) all want to get through this nursing school process that we...

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

    kk83 replied to kk83's topic in General Students

    Thank you guys so much for the encouragement! That really helps. I totally agree with you about being a mom for life, but a nurse for a set time in my career. A big reason I picked nursing was the...

  8. Crazy Organization Lately Anyone?

    kk83 posted a topic in General Students

    I don't know if this is just me - but I've been in hyper overdrive cleaning/throwing away/needing a place for everything and for everything to be functional mode lately. This week has been the worst....

  9. What do your study spaces look like?

    kk83 posted a topic in General Students

    I'm frantically trying to make my work space as pleasant and efficient (and nice looking) as possible. School starts on Monday and I'm still trying to re organize my space to make it work well for me...

  10. Where to find ALL white leather shoes?

    kk83 posted a topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Everywhere I look, I cannot find a pair of all white leather shoes - I am so frustrated . We were told they had to be all leather, and all white including the logo/sole and could not be clogs. Have...

  11. What do your study spaces look like?

    kk83 replied to kk83's topic in General Students

  12. Crazy Organization Lately Anyone?

    kk83 replied to kk83's topic in General Students

    You know, I've had my Keurig about a year or two and have rarely used it. Somehow, I think that's about to change very very quickly! CMonkey - you have been busy!!! I plan to get on some bulk cooking...

  14. Crazy Organization Lately Anyone?

    kk83 replied to kk83's topic in General Students

    You know, I never thought of it as stress relief - but maybe it is my way of getting out all this nervous energy before orientation on Thursday. I've been worrying myself sick, so I think I'm...

  15. Crazy Organization Lately Anyone?

    kk83 replied to kk83's topic in General Students

    Haha! Well I am glad it's not just me! I feel guess my thought process is that life will be so much easier during NS if my husband and I just have a quickie maintenance routine during school. My...

  16. Work PT during nursing school

    kk83 replied to *4!#6's topic in General Students

    Personally - I cannot work and go to school at the same time. It just doesn't work out for me. I've been a stay at home wife for years now so just the adjustment to an actual strict routine is going...

  17. Do you think you'll/have you put on weight in NS?

    kk83 replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in General Students

    I absolutely hope that I don't gain weight. I still need to lose the lbs I've been trying to get off for months now! My thoughts are I'll be able to maintain/lose easier because I'll be packing my...

    kk83 replied to Strwbrywne's topic in General Students

    I was wondering about this - I signed the waiver, but was debating if I should get the Hep B vaccine

  20. Living on your own in nursing school

    kk83 replied to Shucara SmartOne's topic in General Students

    If you can afford it - I say do what's best for you. You can always cut out non essentials and save money that way or maybe you could find a roommate who could help you cut down on expenses. If it's...

  21. Easy and Fast Meals

    kk83 replied to yesitslaura's topic in General Students

    I make doubles of meals at a time and freeze one for later. I also prep meats w/marinade and freeze them in portions - so that when I wake up in the morning I just grab the bag I need and let it...

  22. Sharing your survival tips--How do you prepare each semester?

    kk83 replied to Despareux's topic in General Students

    I am turning into an organizing maniac - every drawer, cabinet, closet, and room has gotten an entire overhaul. I figure if everything has a place, come crazy schedule time - my house will be so much...

  23. 1st semester book costs

    kk83 replied to azhic13's topic in General Students

    You guys are so lucky! We won't get our book list until 2 weeks before classes - and our aid isn't in until October so unless we want to pay out of pocket, we have to buy from the bookstore with our...

    kk83 replied to Hopeful3's topic in General Students
