vena cava

in order to get my BScN i need to take a "humanities context credit" along with regular nursing classes. I ended up taking medieval and renaissance civilizations. other choices included spanish, greek mythology, and other world history classes. Useless for nursing students but we have no choice.

love it! we need more of this!

-kitchen staff (hate it, so hot in the summer) -receptionist for a realty company (hated it, some realtors can be mean to the support staff) -temp job as H1N1 screener (loved it, basically got paid to study and just told people who entered the hospital to wash their hands or wear a mask) can't wait until i'm done school!

I can't find my shoes.

Community colleges offer lots of workshops/seminars in their continuing education department. You get a little certificate to add to your portfolio, learn something new or refresh your memory on a skill you haven't done in awhile. some I've seen include -basic lab interpretation -sterile techniques review -basic massage techniques -glucometers -ostomy care -physical assessment review -infection control

-take study breaks -study the material little by little over a few days rather than all at once in one day -get your stuff packed for the next day the night before -have a good breakfast -study the material in different ways; read it, write it out, quiz your friends, watch youtube videos etc -don't be afraid to ask questions during the test -after the test, our class can normally find at least 1 question that was wrong when taking it up which the teacher will reward a mark for -close your eyes, try to relax, and take a deep breath

i'm going into my 3rd year. so far i've been working on call at my highschool job in a kitchen throughout school. i worked once/twice a month on call during school, then most of reading week and all of summer. i've been trying to get a job relative to nursing with no luck.

confidentiality "eyes on your own baby"

be kind to yourself

you could try asking them in an e-mail...worked for me.

Just do it! Be sure to relook at old quizzes since some teachers recycle questions. Reading over and writing out the important stuff a bunch of times helps me to learn.

i leave stuff open. (only at home though) cupboards, dresser drawers. drives my boyfriend nuts.

dental hygienist

i see myself as a more logical, orderly person, and i feel like all i do is work! i really wish i could paint or play an instrument or something as an outlet.

i accidently brought the MAR in the room with me and a nurse corrected me that when the pt is on precautious you don't bring the MAR in.
