    In the dream all the rooms had toilets instead of

  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...

  14. I know this an old beast BUT ...

    Jennybrie replied to StudentOfHealing's topic in General Students

    When I was doing research on the local schools as far as retention ratings, NCLEX passing and placement scores I found only one BSN program that was similar in statistics to the ADN program that I am...

  15. Nursing Math Class

    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...

  17. What to wear to a volunteer interview?

    Jennybrie replied to Jill2Shay's topic in General Students

    Business casual is the norm....the post by GrnTea is a great example of what you should

  18. Having a bachelors degree in something other than nursing...

    Jennybrie replied to m20forshee's topic in General Students

    I also have a bachelors in a hard science but all the hospitals I have talked to require a BSN. I understand that you don't want your last degree to "go to waste" but you might be able to transfer...

    Jennybrie replied to CheesePotato's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for the article! You always write with heart and compassion and full of wisdom. I appreciate that you take the time to share your thoughts and experiences. God

  20. It's Finally Happened!

    Jennybrie replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I thought issues like this only came up out of facebook, twitter, etc. I had no idea that venting on this site would lead to a possible termination/disciplinary action at work unless HIPAA was...

  21. What is the grading in you school

    Jennybrie replied to Kimynurse's topic in General Students

    93-100 = A 85-92 = B 77-84 = C On the bright side, my school does round so if you're at a 76.5....its rounded to a 77 and you pass. We also have 5 semesters of med math that you have to have 100% or...

  22. Head Over Heals In LOVE!

    Jennybrie replied to babsy28's topic in General Students

    We were always given the impression as a new grad that med/surg floors are where you start. I know now that isn't entirely true but I can see why it would be the first place to go to "continue" your...

  23. What was your worst professor & How did you cope??

    Jennybrie replied to bagface's topic in General Students

    If you feel strongly and can prove that the professor is not meeting the class objectives you can go to a higher source but to be honest that probably won't change your grade and could possibly make...

  24. "Hard Work Isn't Enough" a.k.a.: About to give up!

    Jennybrie replied to StressedOutSteve's topic in General Students

    You stumped me at first...what else is there besides hard work. Then I realized it could mean many things such as determination, attitude, passion, perseverance, etc. Deep down you have to find...
