    RN9742 replied to twaugh1's topic in General Students

    I graduate in May from an ADN program, I honestly did not try super hard in my sciences, and struggled in them because of it. Add to that a couple classes I had failed many moons ago, my GPA was much...

  6. Can we discuss Nursing caps and Hairstyles?

    RN9742 replied to RN9742's topic in General Students

    We have no hair requirement from what I have seen in the past, and no mention of it when we were told about pics. Which honestly I found odd since the rest of the uniform has to be clinical...

  9. Failing psych nursing course

    RN9742 replied to jarielle22's topic in General Students

    Aside from knowing your meds I have little advice for you. I struggled with psych, it was almost entirely therapeutic communication based when it came to exam questions, I always found myself looking...

  10. How far do you travel?

    RN9742 replied to JayCimone's topic in General Students

  12. Nursing School Uniforms And Their Fate After School

    RN9742 replied to RunBabyRN's topic in General Students

    I will probably keep them around for a bit, maybe I'll give them to a friend who will be starting in the fall. I will keep my cap and a patch as mementos. My white shoes are pretty worn out at this...

  14. Keeping up with the Reading?

    RN9742 replied to MusicEMT's topic in General Students

    As someone who is ADD myself, I found the amount of reading I had to do overwhelming to say the least. I would skim through chapters, and pay close attention to those boxes in them. I also used our...

  16. I feel like a fraud :((

    RN9742 replied to jcwhite23's topic in General Students

    I'm graduating in May, I still don't feel like I know what I am doing half the time! But you know what, that's why I am there, to learn. From what everyone has told me, it takes a year or so for that...

  18. Clinical advice- How can I help?

    RN9742 replied to kayleen4246's topic in General Students

    I've done both, followed a nurse, and been assigned a patient. My learning experience was about the same for each, and I still often found myself with downtime. Enjoy it now, once you are working it...

  19. Clinical advice- How can I help?

    RN9742 replied to kayleen4246's topic in General Students

    Aside from answering call lights I like to take the down time to get really into my patients chart and start looking at their history, labs, meds, tests etc... Start putting pieces together. Review...

  20. Getting "points back" on a test

    RN9742 replied to adnstudent44's topic in General Students

    The problem with getting points back, it only benefits those students who got the question wrong. Those who got it right to begin with then feel like they have been punished for studying. In my...

  21. Living independently while in Nursing school, is it possible?

    RN9742 replied to Lena M's topic in General Students

    I know several people who share living space with friends, and a few in dorms. I dunno what your reason is, but if it is a child - not accusing just putting it out there - there are also apartments on...

  22. Living independently while in Nursing school, is it possible?

    RN9742 replied to Lena M's topic in General Students

    It's possible, I know lots of people who do it. Have you considered going to a 4yr school and living in the dorms? This way you get the full college experience, and your grants/loans will easily cover...

  23. Disappointed in my clinical rotation..

    RN9742 replied to robdob's topic in General Students

    My plan is to go into critical care, that being said I just spent a week of clinicals in ICU, and missed being on a medical/surgical floor the entire time. Reason being, on the med-Surg floor I was in...

  24. Chances of getting hired?

    RN9742 replied to ccaparanga73's topic in General Students

    A 3.0 GPA is not bad, I really don't understand why so many here think it is. If you are already working at a hospital, transitioning to another position would not be a big deal, it's easily...

  25. What is in your clinical bag?
