    Embarrassing? (Ladies opinion)

    Skips replied to msnursecp's topic in General Students

    Wear a tampon with a liner underneath and don't forget to check frequently throughout the day. Also, you can wear leggings or something underneath your pants for extra protection. I always wore...

    How many hours/days per week do you spend in clinical?

    Skips posted a topic in General Students

    I'm just wondering. (: I am in Med/Surg 2 in a BSN program. We go to the hospital 2 days per week, 9 hour days each. I'm on a cardiac progressive care unit, so anything can happen. It's great! We also...

    Repeating a Semester

    Skips replied to Crazed's topic in General Students

    It's probably because they know each other already, and they don't know you. Sometimes cliques happen and you can't really do much about it except do your best to have decent conversations while...

    How Much Free Time Do You Have?

    Skips replied to Okapi's topic in General Students

    I do not work. I am married with a child, so my free time is basically spent with them. Or cleaning the house. I got to play a video game for about an hour total since last Sunday. (: Games take up a...

    I can't go to the ICU!

    Skips replied to Nolander's topic in General Students

    Well, yeah....you are reacting strongly to it. But I can see why you'd be upset about it. You were excited about it. However, I highly doubt having one observation day is going to help them remember...

    SICK of BSN Pedestal

    Skips replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I'm sorry, but I think you're misinformed about what type of classes BSN students take, OP. I have enjoyed my genetics courses and population health courses. Genetics was an elective. Research courses...

    Med Surg 2 Advice?

    Skips replied to Jrwilliams's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    My instructor said to get an NCLEX book to study from. Like everyone else said on this thread. (: I just started Med Surg 2 this week.

    No cna's ??

    Skips replied to littlenurse23's topic in Medical-Surgical

    Not a nurse, I'm a student...but I did clinical on a floor that only had one aide, and they would get floated to a different floor some days. The nurses were kept very busy! As nursing students, we...

    Too young/ early in life to be in Nursing Program?

    Skips replied to futuresctRN's topic in General Students

    I don't think you're too young/inexperienced to be in nursing school. Everyone is inexperienced in the nursing field when they begin nursing school! (: I was 21 when I first started nursing school,...

    What was the hardest course youve taken?

    Skips replied to MeekaNichole's topic in General Students

    Pre-nursing: chemistry Nursing: Foundational Skills I thought med-surg 1 was a breeze compared to foundational skills! But that's probably because it was totally new stuff we were learning. Next...

    PLEASE READ!!!!Fighting Appeals for Final Grade

    Skips replied to RNnme3j's topic in General Students

    This is really confusing to me. So your instructor told you over the phone, and didn't want to meet with you about your grade? Seems odd to me. You really need to try to meet with your instructor...

    I have been kicked out of my nursing program because of failed courses

    Skips replied to olesya's topic in General Students

    Well, the problem here lies with the fact that you do not know for sure that some people failed more than one course. It could be a rumor. It sounds like it was school policy. It's not necessarily an...

    Skips replied to FaithGurl93's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    I've never heard that word! I'm sorry you got called a derogatory name. It's tough when that happens...but you know in your heart and mind that you are none of the bad words you might hear. This...

    Student nurse and Video games.

    Skips replied to jazon77's topic in General Students

    Exactly. I have a 3-year-old, and I have been able to play video games in my spare time (which isn't much) since he was born, and since I've started nursing school. It is
