  1. What does your username mean?

    Despareux replied to LifesAJourney's topic in Nursing Humor

    Hera means a lot of things to me and I love Greek mythology. She was considered a goddess of marriage and had quite the jealous streak. Her commitment to her marriage also included high regard for...

  2. Any plans for winter break?

    Despareux replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in General Students

    I have about four weeks off, and my family thinks I should spend every waking moment with just them and doing nothing else, but my 'me' time is spent studying for our new semester of fabulous fun. I...

  3. At what point did you start feeling like a nurse?

    Despareux replied to Despareux's topic in General Nursing

    Okay, so for those that feel like a drug dealer and a waitress, out of curiosity, why do you think it is that you do not feel like a nurse? Are you not able, for whatever reason, to utilize certain...

  5. For those going to 2nd semester--what will u do differently?

    Despareux replied to UumiNurseX's topic in General Students

    Since the end of my 1st quarter, I have been learning to NOT over-study. Instead of waiting the few days before a test to study/read, I will start my reading as soon as I am aware of the assignment....

  6. Why Do Nursing Instructors Rely So Heavily On PowerPoints To Teach?

    Despareux replied to SarahMaria's topic in General Students

    I happen to love lectures, but I am not a fan of powerpoints. I prefer an instructor who lectures while drawing out concepts on the board. And I love when a student asks the questions that make you...

  8. Study to be A nurse without program

    Despareux replied to Darkpk55's topic in General Students

    Reading and working hard to comprehend what you have read will only enhance your ease of reading and comprehension. Don't be afraid to use your dictionary should you come across a word you are...

  9. Going to be denied f/a because of maximum credit rule..

    Despareux replied to Butterfly0328's topic in General Students

    Not sure, but I'm thinking it has more to do with the fact that you have dropped classes, not the program's credit requirements. Because you have a medical condition, financial aid my want to...

  11. Drug Testing for NS

    Despareux replied to PhiladelphiaLove's topic in General Students

    It does state that we have to be able to pass a drug screen, but the upperclassmen and my class has yet to be subjected to one. It certainly does make sense to screen for

  12. Best shoes for school

    Despareux replied to elizzakay's topic in General Students

    Go to your clinical. When you own your responsibility, things have a way of working out. But if you feel you must miss a day of clinical, be honest with your instructor. There's always a price to...

  14. What is Med/Surge?

    Despareux posted a topic in General Students

  17. What is Med/Surge?

    Despareux replied to Despareux's topic in General Students

    From what everyone has said so far, it is more system focused, more interesting than fundamentals, and it could be a "weeding out" class. Sounds scary and fun.

  18. What is Med/Surge?

    Despareux replied to Despareux's topic in General Students

    Can you elaborate more about "true narrow minded, greedy personalities"?

    Despareux replied to OB-nurse2013's topic in Michigan Nursing

    The cost of supplies was unexpected for my first quarter. I knew I needed certain things and that was never the problem, it was the other items that we must have before this date and that date; oh,...

    Despareux replied to EMEddie's topic in General Students

    I don't know much about private loans, but I've always heard to steer clear of those. What about federal student

  23. Where do you put your stethoscope?

    Despareux replied to newbiepnp's topic in General Students

    Wearing it around my neck gives me headaches from neck strain. So I use a bat clip. Love that thing. Now I wish there were something similar that would hold my BP

  24. Why am I a B student?

    Despareux posted a topic in General Students

    Seriously, I don't get it. I probably study longer (maybe not smarter) than most people. It's nothing for me to stay awake 24 hours at a time to study for something and it's typical for me to study...

  25. Anyone made career change from engineering to Nursing?

    Despareux replied to lmf2006's topic in General Students
