    As a Nursing student, would you prefer to have a room mate or to live by yourself?

    healthstar replied to RN_student23's topic in General Students

    Alone. I have difficulty trusting people and I don't want to live with a party animal while I am in school. I want someone who actually cares about school and the money they are spending to go to...

    healthstar replied to EssaQ502's topic in General Students

    I felt the same way when I started nursing school. I hated catheters, I believed I could do anything but catheters. I was nervous inserting a catheter using a manniquin, imagine a real person. After I...

    healthstar replied to SkiMama's topic in General Students

    Anatomy & physiology, I love the class but it is hard to remember everything. 1 class is not enough. If students spend time reviewing anatomy and physiology, I know that they are going to be...

    healthstar replied to Trancelation's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Is making friends in school important?

    healthstar replied to CourtneyLR's topic in General Students

    I like my college friends more than the friends I've known for so many years. I think this is because we are studying the same thing and we have more things in common. I can't talk to non-nursing...

    Can student administer medication without RN supervision?

    healthstar replied to AnneN's topic in General Students

    In my school you can. I do all the time. When I passed meds for the first time my instructor had to be with me. Once she knew that you were capable of doing it on your own, she only checked the meds...

    healthstar replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    I hate it when some of my classmates say "I didn't study at all" before every test they have to take. Really?! So why do you even bother showing up? Why waste your money? Some other classmates say,"...

    healthstar replied to jarrn03's topic in Ob/Gyn
