  4. The "one thing"

    justchill replied to DisneyNurseGal's topic in General Students

    Boogers and hockers. UGH. Literally make me gag. Never used to be like that, don't know where it came from. I actually haven't experienced a lot of vomit while in nursing school to be

  5. working as GN vs. waiting to your RN license

    justchill posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm about to graduate in July and the search-for-a-job frenzy is beginning. I'm also going to attend another college in the fall so I can work on my bachelor's degree so I only want to work part-time....

  6. Is being a nursing student actually fun?

    justchill replied to Dezy's topic in General Students

    If you have a sense of humor and can laugh at things, then yes. I noticed a lot of people turned more and more sour as things went on. I'm more of a type B so laid-back. You can't get all worked up...

  7. after graduation...

    justchill posted a topic in General Students

    I just wanted to hear some thoughts about this and if anyone who is a manager or in HR, please comment back. I graduate next month and plan to take the NCLEX when I can in a timely manner. However, I...

  9. List of Meds that MUST be given through a central line

    justchill posted a topic in General Students

    I was wondering if anyone knew a website or something of medications that must be given through a central line. I just want it as a reference since I recently heard a story about 3% saline given...

  10. List of Meds that MUST be given through a central line

    justchill replied to justchill's topic in General Students

    Yes I did. Mostly just found forums asking about one particular med, procedures on how to give meds through a central lines or things about irritants and vesicants. I'm just basically asking if anyone...

  11. issues with drawing med from vial

    justchill replied to justchill's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Ok, thanks a lot, I'll try it out again. They just really stress not touching the plunger but that would be really difficult for me (small hands) to hold some part of the syringe and some part of the...

  12. issues with drawing med from vial

    justchill posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Recently, I've noticed I've been having a little trouble withdrawing meds from a vial. Even when I inject air first, I noticed when I withdraw, there is a lot of resistance and I feel like it wants to...

  13. Bit of a Dilemma

    justchill replied to RN-4Ever's topic in General Students

    So no matter what you graduate 2014? If so, I would just take what you were already accepted to. Does the other program have a LPN entrance test? My school does. Some of them have to start from the...

  14. False documentation... more common than you think.

    justchill replied to OnlybyHisgraceRN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I'm a student and about to graduate. Always when on clinical, I try to keep in communication with my co-assigned RN at all times even if they aren't the warmest to me. There has been several occasions...

  15. working as GN vs. waiting to your RN license

    justchill replied to justchill's topic in First Year After Licensure

    We don't have many internships in my area but I live in a large metropoliatian area in Southeast Pa with many hospitals so I'm not very worried about the aspect of job availabilty; I just more...

  16. working as GN vs. waiting to your RN license

    justchill replied to justchill's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I understand your points. I'm not planning on taking a gap between graduating and taking NCLEX. I want to do that as soon as I can while it's fresh in my mind. I just want to be able to walk on to a...

  17. working as GN vs. waiting to your RN license

    justchill replied to justchill's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Yes, in Pennsylvania, I'm allowed to. I've heard horror stories about GNs failing then they had no job to go to anymore. I'm probably most likely going to wait until I have my license to remove some...

  18. working as GN vs. waiting to your RN license

    justchill replied to justchill's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Thank you so much, I was really starting to stress myself out over all of this especially since I graduate at an old time compared to regular colleges, I'm in a hospital based diploma

  19. working as GN vs. waiting to your RN license

    justchill replied to justchill's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Thank you for the reassurrance. I was thinking about the stress too since technically I'll be in school

  20. working as GN vs. waiting to your RN license

    justchill replied to justchill's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Not long, I'll try to go to a test date close to my graduation test to get it or give myself a few weeks. I'm not talking about waiting for months. I was just wondering how it was viewed. I felt...

  21. do we wear our white uniforms for pysch clinicals?

    justchill replied to starrys's topic in General Students

    We wore business casual during that rotation but the actual nurses working were allowed to wear scrubs just no all white/black, they actually preferred them to wear patterns as long as they weren't to...

    I'm going to be starting a blog on tumblr about nursing in general. I'll be posting NCLEX questions, helpful websites, etc. Also little snip its of "You know you are involved with nursing when..."...

  23. Rolling cart instead of rolling backpack?

    justchill replied to imapsychrn's topic in General Students

    For school? I think a roller cart would be a bit overkill. For my program at least, I never take my books to class. Most of the newer books you can get a code that they are viewable online and if I...

  24. how do you study subjects that have triggers?

    justchill replied to anonymousstudent's topic in General Students

    You just have to do it because one day you'll have a patient with the same disease as someone you knew. Part of being a nurse is setting aside your personal feeling and taking care of the other. I...

  25. How to survive 1st year of nursing school

    justchill replied to lemidora's topic in General Students

    Also, realizing you aren't super woman and you CANNOT do everything is a good thing to do right away. Nursing school seems to attract those type-a-i-can-do-it-all people, and no, you can't; you...
