    sandyfeet replied to heavenbound's topic in General Students

    Right there with you! Ironically, I passed up a chance to actually go sailing Saturday in order to study...glad to know I was sailing on the study ship with the rest of you

  2. Younger Nursing Students

    sandyfeet replied to lhabin's topic in General Students

    I think in all environments, your maturity is what is most important. The fact that you are thinking ahead and asking these types of questions demonstrates that you already have a high level of...

  3. 1st year student with a slight fear of needles

    sandyfeet replied to rach_006's topic in General Students

    I was also terrified of needles ever since I was having an IM injection by a nurse, and as I was watching her reach towards me with the needle she exclaimed "Don't watch!!!". HER anxiety about it...

  4. physical for entry to nursing school

    sandyfeet replied to bubbasmom's topic in General Students

    Just to add to what everyone else has said: we also had to sign that we had disclosed any health conditions like back problems or pregnancy. And we didn't have a drug screen, which really surprised...

  5. I have no idea what this lab means

    sandyfeet posted a topic in General Students

    This week in clinical I took on three patients for the first time, yay! It was a crazy hectic day that gave me a better idea of how to manage my time and make better use of my time. Overall it was a...

  7. I have no idea what this lab means

    sandyfeet replied to sandyfeet's topic in General Students

    Thanks for the reply! She just had her pacemaker moved from one side of her chest to the other...kind of like a transplant. Neither of my lab books talk about this test so I might have to email her...

  8. Hmmmmm Why Do Nursing Students Fail?

    sandyfeet replied to yel550i's topic in General Students

    I really think a lot has to do with attitude. We had several students fail this semester because they had bad attitudes during clinical. And by that I mean arguing with patients, being...

  9. You know you are a Nursing student when...

    sandyfeet replied to okredrobot's topic in General Students

    Yes! The hand touching raw meat is now contaminated and can only touch the meat, use your other hand to turn the faucet on! When there was a major meteorological event in your town and you didn't...

  10. Gifts/cards etc to thank clinical instructor?

    sandyfeet replied to onlyj's topic in General Students

    I never thought of giving my instructor a framed photo of the group but it's a great suggestion! I'm bringing it up to my group! We always bring something for the nurses at the end of the semester....

  11. Care plan! i need so much help please :(

    sandyfeet replied to cy2012's topic in General Students

    Don't forget your psychosocial NANDAs too: did he have anxiety about laying down because of fear of breathing difficulty? Did he feel hopeless about his condition?

  12. What To Do After You've Made A Mistake

    sandyfeet replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    I want to thank you for writing this, Ruby. I recently made a mistake in clinical that showed a lack of judgement and assertiveness, and my instructor caught it. I confessed to it, and was lucky...

  13. Is this cheating...?

    sandyfeet replied to lelafin's topic in General Students

    I would look at it from this perspective: how does it make YOU look to your instructor that you were willing to go along with it and help her make it look like she did work she didn't actually do? I...

  14. What's your nursing school diet?

    sandyfeet replied to Despareux's topic in General Students

    Ugh, l lost my original post, but to sum it up, I am training for a half marathon so I eat what I want until I am full. And I keep junk food out of my house for that very purpose! If you are getting...

  15. Nursing Pets

    sandyfeet replied to cogath's topic in General Students

    My dog snuggles my feet while I study. When I first got my steth, she let me listen to her heart sounds....ha ha ha, just came into the room and put her head on my knees! She is great for a study...

  16. Where do you put your stethoscope?

    sandyfeet replied to newbiepnp's topic in General Students

    The batclip sounds awesome! Thanks for the

    sandyfeet replied to chinacatSN's topic in General Students

    Now I feel old. Not only did I not know what a surface piercing was, I feel disturbed over it! Right next to the spine AND the orifice? :barf01: We thought we were such rebels sticking safety pins...

  18. May give up my dream of being a nurse

    sandyfeet replied to AddisonLawrence03's topic in General Students

    I applied for the Spring 2010 program for my favorite school...got put on the waiting list. I made calls to the nursing office for weeks for weeks, right up until the semester started, but never made...

  19. Psych rotation coming up.. not excited about it, should I be?

    sandyfeet replied to FutureOBNurse2118's topic in General Students

    You are exposed to all types of patients on a psych unit, but I want to point out that you are exposed to all types of patients in regular settings too. Just because they are not wearing their...

  20. Where do you put your stethoscope?

    sandyfeet replied to newbiepnp's topic in General Students

    I'm reviving this old thread because my stethoscope pulls at my hair when I wear a ponytail. My first nursing professor insisted we put them in our pocket, so I got used to being poked in the ribs...

  21. Pulling up your long hair....

    sandyfeet replied to Despareux's topic in General Students

    French braid. Depending on how long your hair is, you can tuck the tail under and secure with a rubber band. When I do this I am less likely to touch my hair during the day

  22. Lament of the White Clinical Pants

    sandyfeet replied to cogath's topic in General Students

    We have all white scrubs too. I use Shout and a toothbrush when I get home on any stains I find and that has kept permanent stains at bay. It even got out an entire insulated mug of coffee that...

  23. School asks for private info?

    sandyfeet replied to malarwen's topic in General Students

    It's just unbelievable that they feel they have a right to that information! I'm sure you've realized by now that it is not normal for schools to ask that type of information, but I just wanted to...

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

    sandyfeet replied to guest10's topic in General Students

    I found it wasn't anything I said, but my actions. For example, when I started waking up before my boyfriend and going to sleep after he was already in bed, then he started to understand. When my...
