  1. Anxiety during clinicals, Plz help???

    Jennybrie replied to Minas's topic in General Students

    Think of your patient and how the anxiety will make them feel. If you walk into a room and are not confident then your patient will not feel confident about you taking care of them. Every time you do...

  2. Feeling kind of burnt out.

    Jennybrie replied to BlueEyedGuy's topic in General Students

    I haven't been at it as long as you but I do understand that desire or drive that we once had is slowly diminishing. I don't know if OB/Peds and Psych really turned me off or if the routine of nursing...

  3. Words of encouragement

    Jennybrie posted a topic in General Students

    I'm sensing a lot of negativity in the posts lately and I feel that a little encouragementis needed. Please feel free to post anything uplifting. It can be a personal experience, a quote that gets you...

    Thank you everyone for sharing your stories. It's great to know that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Best of luck to all of

  5. How many must make 80% or better on each exam?

    Jennybrie replied to Stoogesfan's topic in General Students

    It sounds like the weight of the exams is high enough to equal the same grade of the overall class. It depends on the instructor how they distribute points and if passing is based on the exams alone...

  6. Fundamentals & using an alternative base source? Eliminating Potter & Perry.

    Jennybrie replied to TCool774's topic in General Students

    I would like to tell you that nursing school will get easier and you won't be expected to read before coming to class but that would be a false statement. You will have a lot of material to cover in a...

  7. Do you make friends with others in your nursing program?

    Jennybrie replied to EP10's topic in General Students

    We have a range of ages in our class and most are friendly with everyone. There are a few groups that don't associate with others but it's a small class size (36) and most of us have been together...

  8. Book you can't live without.

    Jennybrie replied to badwolf's topic in General Students

    Ditto!!

  9. Ok this may be a rant but....

    Jennybrie replied to PNicholas's topic in General Students

    The only difference I can see between the programs is the theory that attaches to BSN and more time. I personally didn't have the time so I went for an ADN and will continue for the bachelors after...

  10. Lunch breaks during clinicals

    Jennybrie replied to NurseAaliyah's topic in General Students

    Only 6 hours?!? I hope you get the chance to do 12 hour clinicals before graduation. You get a better feel for time management and understand why the nurses do what they do when they do it. I would be...

  11. Nursing student 'food for thought'

    Jennybrie replied to Brian's topic in General Students

    I love salmon and some websites claim that it increases brain function. I like it because it's filling but doesn't make me want to sleep 20 minutes after I eat it. I also crave cheesecake around...

  12. Heparin injection = epic fail! Help!

    Jennybrie replied to nurse2b013's topic in General Students

    We were taught to pinch the skin, inject the needle, push the plunger (slowly) and release the skin and pull out the needle at the same time. Releasing the skin right after injection will move the...

  13. The "one thing"

    Jennybrie replied to DisneyNurseGal's topic in General Students

    I think your professionalism will outshine your "gross out" limit. When I started I felt the same way about vomit but in the clinical setting you can't run from it or put on a sour face so you have to...

  14. Questions about Pima medical institute & Carrington college

    Jennybrie replied to lucy88's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I'm in Pima now as a Junior. I can tell you that you either meet their standards as a potential student or you don't. It's not like MCC and you are put on a waiting list until a seat opens. After the...

  16. 3 Months until NS starts.. What should i be doing!

    Jennybrie replied to niqua8604's topic in General Students

    Relax and enjoy the time while you have it. Once your program starts you will wish you spent your time enjoying life outside of nursing school. Don't read anything out of your texts and spend as much...

  17. What's Your Attendance Policy?

    Jennybrie replied to KatieJ91's topic in General Students

    Basically in my program if you miss a class and it is not excused then you are on probation. Excused absence is determined by the director of nursing and unless you or your child is very, very sick...

  22. Things you would love to say to your fellow nursing students!

    Jennybrie replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    I love this thread. Now I can really get some stuff off my chest.....stop talking during lecture and listen to your instructor. The stupid question you just asked was answered 10 minutes ago while you...

  23. So besides nursing school, what do you all do in your spare time?

    Jennybrie replied to i<3u's topic in General Students

    I make time away from studying and school. I think it's very important to have down time to relax and revive. I'll do anything from enjoying a glass of wine to hanging out with friends. Quality is...

    Jennybrie replied to nurse2b013's topic in General Students

    I have a BA for Biology and couldn't get a job when I graduated. Everywhere I looked wanted at least 3 years field experience and I had two at the most. I got into nursing because the leap isn't that...
