  1. Physiology tips???? Would REALLY appreciate your input........

    JROregon replied to ruddergrl's topic in General Students

    I'm so thankful for videos on youtube and from different universities that help to visualize processes going on in the body. This really helped for the circulatory, pulmonary, renal, endocrine and...

  3. Should I become a nurse...?

    JROregon replied to Rizabella's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    People go into nursing for all different reasons but most have a compelling reason or a passion. I find nursing school pretty stressful but I get over it pretty quickly and use exercise to help cope...

  4. Please Clarify.

    JROregon replied to oforver1's topic in General Students

    I haven't heard of ADNs being laid off. Like pitaya said above, some of the bigger city hospitals are only hiring new grads that have BSNs. Those same hospitals will hire ADNs who have several years...

  5. Help with ice breaker, and therapeutic communication

    JROregon replied to Slana497's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Because I was on an evening shift, I would ask how there day has been. Any improvement in symptoms during the day? Did they have any visitors? The hospitals in my area have patients from a 50 mile...

  6. Math cal exam

    JROregon replied to carlarenee02's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Did you not get 100% because you made a couple of mistakes of because you don't understand how to figure out certain problems? I think there are nurses who take antidepressants and antianxiolitics as...

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

    JROregon replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    Nah, I actually like most of the people in my nursing class. Each has her/his own interesting personality. Most are smart enough to keep their mouths shut in regards to past or current...

  8. Commute to nursing school?

    JROregon replied to bd22's topic in General Students

    I feel for the students at my school that commute 40 minutes each way. It is a long haul. Not sure how that school is set up but in ours, we have 2-3 days in the classroom and 2 days of clinicals....

  9. what type of group is AA?

    JROregon replied to oztizz184's topic in General Students

    I would call it a support group. People meet at a location like a church or community hall. They award people who have reached a milestone in their sobriety. They have a speaker who talks about...

  10. Questions for Married Nursing Students!

    JROregon replied to 5LR14's topic in General Students

    My only advice is not to add kids into the mix until you have 2 years of actual nursing experience under your belt. I'm older and have school age kids. I started school when my youngest began...

  11. Good experience with a student nurse

    JROregon replied to caregiver1977's topic in General Students

    That is very awesome to hear. I would definitely give some feedback (anonymous if you like) to that OB. I'm going to keep this in mind while I go through the L&D rotations next month. I am one of...

  12. And you thought a thong beneath whites was bad...

    JROregon replied to chinacatSN's topic in General Students

    Thank you for that visual. I'll be imagining a that butt-crack embellishment as I take my final

  13. What is the cost of Nursing school?

    JROregon replied to can'tdecide's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The cost of the credits is the same. We have $300 lab costs on top of that. Your first year, you'll pay close to $1000 for books. I will be doing 6 terms for a cost of about $1200 per term. Then...

  14. Just Rejected From Nursing School - Most Ridiculous Admissions Office

    JROregon replied to guest_57352's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There are plenty of nursing schools out there that do look at more than just a straight GPA. If the advisors and counselors at Cornell can't help you find one of those schools, you can actually go to...

  15. Not Able to Become A Nurse

    JROregon replied to Darkpk55's topic in General Students

    What's wrong with working at McDonald's? I flipped my share of burgers and tossed pizzas. No shame in that. Doing fast food work pushed me toward going to college and completing my first degree....

  16. Group projects

    JROregon replied to nicubee's topic in General Students

    We do a group writing project each term. No big deal. One person asked me to work with her and then I asked another. We split up the assignment 3 ways and get in finished a week before it's due. One...

  17. Did you take pathophysiology? How hard was it?

    JROregon replied to northmississippi's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    We have it integrated into our med-surg focus in nursing school. I find it really interesting to learn about a body system and disease processes at the same time I am caring for patients with the...

  18. "Concerned" about MH teaching

    JROregon replied to TCASII's topic in General Students

    I agree. We hear the occasional instruction that is completely wrong. We go look it up and sometimes it is different from the textbook. Sometimes it is only in our textbooks and no where else. Since...

  19. Just Rejected From Nursing School - Most Ridiculous Admissions Office

    JROregon replied to guest_57352's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I hope you find a nursing school that is looking for someone a little more well rounded. I am attending nursing school at a community college. I have a prior bachelor's degree but took all of my...

  20. How knowledgeable are you expected to be as a brand new nurse?

    JROregon replied to Blueskies028's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Not quite through 1 year of nursing school but I'll assure you that you won't be completely trained to be a nurse after you graduate. You'll have seen a lot of disease processes and understand how to...

  21. How to explain how hard you have to work in nursing school

    JROregon replied to guest10's topic in General Students

    Might be helpful to show them an example schedule. So just for starters, there is classroom time. We have about 5 hours of "nursing", 1 hour of pharmacology and a 1 hour lab every week. Then the...

  22. Nursing instructors and heart "palpations" ???

    JROregon replied to MumblesMahoney's topic in General Students

    All I can say is yes, we have one instructor in particular that pronounces words wrong and not medical terms necessarily but she gets those wrong too. It's a little distracting but I understand that...

    JROregon replied to futureNURSE388's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    we had to get our cna certification before applying for nursing school but since i'm not a cna, i'm always a little lost on those details as well. fortunately half of my clinical-mates are cnas and i...

  24. Is bsn over adn worth paying twice as much for?

    JROregon replied to northmississippi's topic in General Students

    I chose ADN over BSN to begin with because I live 1 mile from the ADN school; very convenient for a mom and wife. If there was a BSN school that was within a 20 minute drive, I would go there because...

  25. My nursing theory of BM for my BS

    JROregon replied to rngreenhorn's topic in General Students

    I'm already feeling less distention related to your BM theory as evidenced by a loud fluttering sound from my inferior dorsal torso. Much
