2. "If I could do nursing school over again" advice thread

   Jennybrie replied to ravenpuff's topic in General Students

   I wish I knew in the beginning that studying the night before doesn't mean it'll be retained for the exams. That most study groups ended up being social gatherings and unproductive. That lateral...

3. People sure do have some nasty opinions about nursing

   Jennybrie replied to seconddegreebsn's topic in General Students

   I was just thinking this very same thought the other day. Friends that I could talk to about anything two years ago are suddenly speaking another language....or is it me. I've gotten some negative...

4. What do you so to relax from nursing school?

   Jennybrie replied to Dancingqueen94's topic in General Students

   At first it was some wine and TV on the weekends...as the intensity grew so did my need for escape. I worked out more (every day after class); baked cookies, cakes, etc.; played computer and video...

5. Am I going to be able to make this relationship work?

   Jennybrie replied to Jaymesz's topic in General Students

   When I hear people say things like this it makes me wonder what else is going on. Nursing school is not the reason to break off a relationship and sometimes the struggle through the program can make...

6. Storage clipboard with built in calculator?

   Jennybrie replied to seahawksfanguy's topic in General Students

   I used a storage clipboard all through clinical and preceptorship and I really liked having everything in one place when I needed it. Always have extra sheets on hand just in case (water/coffee spill,...

7. Is nursing school supposed to be harder?

   Jennybrie replied to Lucidity's topic in General Students

   Take a look at the statistics of your school, retention rate, placement rates, NCLEX passing, etc. If they can't provide you with this information then administration doesn't care about the results of...

8. Poop in nursing

   Jennybrie replied to KATRN78's topic in General Students

   Maybe I'm the naive one but I went into nursing knowing that I'll be dealing with bodily fluids on a regular basis. Human beings eat, sleep and :poop:. Our first rotation was in a LTC facility and I...

11. Preparing for nursing school (squeamishness, fear of needles, getting in shape?)

    Jennybrie replied to nursing_student93's topic in General Students

    This is going to sound so cliche but honestly it's true that the more you experience, the less squeamish you'll get. I used to work at a pool so I knew that poop and vomit doesn't bother me (unless it...

12. What helped you in your first year / semester of nursing school?

    Jennybrie replied to Cheripk's topic in General Students

    I expected nursing school to be hard because that is what everyone told me. Hard is such a vague word that doesn't describe any elements of nursing school. It is not like any other program that is out...

13. Thinking about minoring in biology...

    Jennybrie replied to marbar14's topic in General Students

    My first degree is in biology. The only help towards nursing it gave me was a couple of basic pre-reqs that all Bachelor degrees require....I wouldn't waste the time or the money to attach it as a...

    Jennybrie replied to 7237dallas's topic in General Students

    Will another math course be offered in the program? I knew someone in my program that tested out of the math course but she took it anyway to be better familiar with med math formulas. If an actual...
