   Maybe he could talk to the Embassy there. I've heard they can pull some major strings!! Good luck.

2. Overtime issues--school assignment

   RNinProgress posted a topic in Student Assist

   Hey all, I'm in need of nurse's opinions on overtime. Specifically, are there any motivators besides money to get you to work overtime? Also, do you have any recommendations to new nurses regarding overtime? Thank you sooo much!

3. More Strange Baby Names

   RNinProgress replied to RNLaborNurse4U's topic in Ob/Gyn

   At least your friend goes by Richard! I know a Richard Payne who goes by Dick. Swear to it.. Funny thing, I didn't even realize the humor until I repeated his name to someone else! My hubby knows a couple, Dick and Anita Finger. Once met a Porsche C...

4. Senioritis

   RNinProgress posted a topic in General Students

   I'm in my final semester, and totally burnt out! I'm sick of my classmates and above all, my professors! I have even resorted to counting the number of classes I have until it's all over. Any advice on how to stay in the game until the very end?

5. Daytona in November?

   RNinProgress replied to RNinProgress's topic in General Students

   I hope you are hanging in there during this crazy weather you are having. I can't imagine how it feels to have the threat of hurricanes! Anyone else planning on going to the NSNA convention? I know there are more of you out there!

   I recently got my NSNA magazine, all about Daytona. Just wondering what Daytona is like in November. Weather? Entertainment? Anyone planning on going?

7. Who believes instructors can be out to get you?

   RNinProgress replied to HyperRNRachel's topic in General Students

   I'll say this....instructors are, (gasp!) human. Just like the rest of us, they can feel threatened by a student based on nothing more than personality. I have no doubt that this has happened. although I believe it usually results in a lower grade, n...

8. How much of your books do you actually read?

   RNinProgress replied to studentnurse74's topic in General Students

   I'll be honest. I only read what I have to. If something is not clear, I will look it up. But, if I have a grasp of it or the notes are clear, I will just go off of that. I also use a few classmates as study partners and hearing them explain it helps...

9. My entire class is having difficulty with our new instructor

   RNinProgress replied to mom1ST's topic in General Students

   Unfortunately, I have had several instructors in nursing school that I feel are incompetent. I think there is such a shortage of nursing instructors, schools are forced to hire just about anyone. Students, ultimately, pay the price. But, when you ha...

10. I have to be bathed by my classmate???

    RNinProgress replied to Saved_by_Grace's topic in General Students

    We were told that we had to be bathed by classmates. As it turned out, there was no intention for us to be naked. They recommended bathing suits or shorts and t-shirts. Not one person wore a bathing suit. Every single one of us wore shorts. It was *s...

11. Admission Physicals

    RNinProgress replied to RNSuzq1's topic in General Students

    I contacted the health department for the area I had the immunizations. Lo and behold, they had the info!

12. 3 WEEK INTRO TO CHEM CLASS...Would you do it?

    RNinProgress replied to camiluvsNURSING's topic in General Students

    I took a higher level chem class during a five week session. It was tough, but I was thrilled to be done with it in five weeks, rather than a full semester. It was no more difficult than a full semester course (when I took the next level), but obviou...

13. Do you wear makeup?

    RNinProgress replied to FutureNurse2005's topic in General Students

    Being an organic type girl, my make-up is always very light. But, I do think it is appropriate to present yourself professionally. Looking like you just rolled out of bed, IMO, is not professional. However, if you are one of those natural beauties wh...

14. Class Pins. Do You Like Yours?

    RNinProgress replied to justjenn's topic in General Students

    Silly question....what does one do with a class pin after graduation? And, what is the purpose of a pin? Sorry to ask, I had never heard of such a thing until recently.

15. The different kind of nursing students

    RNinProgress replied to orrnlori's topic in General Students

    Hilarious! Wish I had thought of that!
