  1. Best makeup for clinicals?

    I've used Bare Minerals for 5 years and liked it but just switched to another foundation that I've been using for 6 months and LOVE LOVE LOVE. It's on the pricier side, but it's worth it to me (I'm on my 2rd bottle) - I use Makeup Forever Matte HD f...
  2. Maslow's First Level, sex?

    As a woman, I have to disagree. I would find it very hard to feel romantic love in a relationship without an adequate sexual relationship. As far as the actual question goes, I do think that sex belongs in the basic physiological need, if only becau...
  3. IM Injection Question

    I think she would have to prepare the medication again with the correct size needle
  4. It is possible. I had a 3.1 TOTAL GPA average from ALL of the schools I've attended. I didn't do so well at my first university, but then transferred and got A's and A-'s in all of my pre-reqs. I also did well on the TEAS (92). I ended up getting ...
  5. Just a little vent here... Since Nursing School started, I've gained quite an appetite... and not just for knowledge. It seems to me that I'm either a) studying non-stop and constantly eating while doing so, or b) relaxing from a stressful week a.k....
  6. Please don't judge me...I need advice please.

    On the other hand, as the previous poster said, those grades may not count in your acceptance decision if they were taken over 5 years ago. BUT YOU MUST MUST MUST DO WELL IN ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY.
  7. Please don't judge me...I need advice please.

    I would definitely suggest looking into a retroactive withdrawal, which is the withdrawal of the courses you got F's in when you were a teenager. Most schools will allow you to petition your case, but you will need - an explanation, and some kind of...
  8. Just got an email and I was...

    I think a lot of the nursing students complaining about their workload need to reflect back on the day they got accepted. We did ask for this after all : )
  9. Student Ruminations

    You wrote this story beautifully - just the way she would have liked it. I have only began my journey in nursing, and haven't met a patient like that, but I, too, will never forget yours. This has really inspired me to live fully every day.
  10. Is anatomy one of the toughest courses for nursing?

    I don't know if it's the toughest but it's definitely one of the courses you will use for the rest of your nursing career. I got an A in both of my A&Ps but I have to admit - I didn't really study for them. That is, I did study, but only to do ...
  11. Not Getting "A's"

    Hey, I'm dealing with something very similar at the moment. My grades so far have ranged from 83 to a 95, with a predomination in the 88-90 range. There are days I feel exhausted and mentally drained, unable to understand why I can't cross that A l...
  12. Admissions Essay - need your opinion and help.

    I would suggest going to the Writing Center at your school if you have one. Your content is great, but I am not qualified to comment on your flow, sentence structure, etc. They, however, can give you some valuable advice and ideas need you fix anyt...
  13. Aseptic technique question

    In what order do you put on gown, gloves, mask ,eyewear, and cap in a clean (medical asepsis) and sterile (surgical asepsis)? In what order do you take them off in both of those cases? Thank you!
  14. Aseptic technique question

    Thank you! Very interesting information regarding real life OR procedures!
  15. CT Students!!!

    Ok first of all, you CAN transfer pre-reqs from one CC to another, especially because, like the person above me said, they are both part of the CT community college system. You'll have to submit your Common Nursing Application and transcripts to the ...
  16. Not used to getting B's...

    I signed onto AllNurses specifically to write up a vent and saw your posting.... I got into my RN-BSN program with basically a 4.0 (3.95). It's been three weeks and we've had two pharm tests, on which I can't seem to get more than a B+. My first g...
  17. Shopping for Nursing School

    Great lists - I've definitely gotten some ideas of what I still need / have forgotten. So far I have: -Required books -Nursing Tote with all clinical supplies (stethoscope, cuffs, pen light, injection simulator, etc...) -5 1-subject notebooks (one f...
  18. Shopping for Nursing School

    I am starting Nursing School in a week and wondering what everybody is getting / already got for the start of classes. This can be anything from notebooks, school supplies, to stethoscopes, clothes, and book guides. What was on your back to school li...
  19. Is anyone commuting really far away?

    My commute is about 1 hour away with no traffic and my first class starts at 8:00 am (Once a week clinical will start at 7:00 am). I'm trying to find ways to make my commute better and so far have considered listening to audiobooks or recording lect...
