WOW. I am so sorry you have to worry about something like this in the midst of loosing your best friend. Unfortunately, college profs get so many bogus excuses for unfinished work or assignments they...
It's a disease where you can't break down branched chain amino acids. Your urine smells like maple syrup in result of this. I learned about it in my undergraduate degree as a nutrition major. I...
My school often screws the nursing students. The only thing they usually respond to is lawsuits. Many students have sued the school and gotten reinstated into the program. Also, in result of these...
A coworker of mine has a step mother who is dying from cancer (she is receiving home hospice at this time). A couple of weeks ago, my coworker told me her step mom was not able to eat or drink much...
OOO, I love the Saunders book. I haven't gotten to the maternity section yet but will get to it this December. I'm glad to hear there aren't a lot of trick questions for this subject matter. Thanks...
So, I guess I read the test results wrong and actually didn't do that poorly. The percentage score told us, of the people who passed the NCLEX, you did better than this percentage of those people. I...
Today, we took this test that is suppose to determine our chances of passing the NCLEX. Unfortunately, I did not do well on this test and I left school feeling very down. After I stopped moping...
Our nursing pin costs $115. This seems overpriced to me. Typically, 70% of the student class opts out of purchasing it because of the cost. If you opt out of getting it, for the pinning ceremony, you...
Awesome news on your pins! :) That's seriously such a good idea. Yeah, I never looked either (I'm usually too frantic at clinical to check out the RN's). I'm going to be on the look out now. I hope...
That's interesting to hear some nurses are sporting the pins. I thought it was just my mom and the lady in the nursing lab... I doubt I'll wear my pin while working because I'd probably forget to...
That is such an awesome (and affordable) idea. Thanks for sharing! It's too late for my class to take advantage of that service but I'll pass on the information to the next class. I agree, it's a lot...
Here is my schedule for clinical: 1.Get report from RN 2.Find and meet PCT, and ask about vitals, accu-checks, baths, and linen changes 3.Access computer and fill out top ½ of Summary Sheet,...
Eight options?! That's awesome! We get two options: white gold or yellow gold. Both are $115. BOOOO! I wish we had a sterling silver option. That's the one I'd pick
Awww thanks! I'm excited to be finished soon! :) Yeah, I'm probably going to get it. My mom has been a nurse for over 30 years and she still wears hers from time to time. Up until recently, the nurse...
Your school has it right. I wish they offered us the same design at different price points. It makes no sense to having a pinning ceremony with pins a majority of the students can't
Here is somethings we did at my CC: -We went around with the public health nurse for a day visiting moms and their babies -We went to the day care at the community college for a day to interact with...

Totally ooooops on my part. I sound like a butthead. Sorry about that. Today I had clinical, so all I had was easy mac. I'm sure when I'm working as a nurse I'll be gnawing on dry noodles with no...
Your program is thinking about kicking you out for this? Your intentions were pure. I think a simple apology to the physician would suffice. He does understand you are a student, right? You are still...
