  1. First ever nursing assignment

    LCinTraining replied to 2bNurseCai's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    My philosophy is, millions have done this and survived before me. I will too. That doesn't mean I won't freak out occasionally, but it's not worth me stressing before school actually

  2. Which Specialty?

    LCinTraining replied to RN-BSNheather's topic in General Students

    Yeah, I finally sucked it up six months and figured that would be the next step anyway and brought it up to my GP. She ran tests right away and thankfully everything came up negative. Not even a...

  3. Disappointed in clinical rotation. :(

    LCinTraining replied to afterseason's topic in General Students

    Don't knock rehab. I work in one. Many times it's those doing ADLs and bed changes that catch the status change of a patient. You may be the one to notice a patient going south before someone else...

  4. Which Specialty?

    LCinTraining replied to RN-BSNheather's topic in General Students

    I want to continue working with the breastfeeding dyad. I've been a volunteer breastfeeding counselor for years. However, L&D is a bit messy for me. Catch the slimey alien and sometimes fight...

  5. Last Free Weekend

    LCinTraining replied to rubato's topic in General Students

    I'm working. Ha! I may have Sunday to do school shopping for kids but we don't need much more than socks and shoes. And I have an assignment due the first day so I'll be finishing

  6. Yes I did just buy the book "new"

    LCinTraining replied to LCinTraining's topic in General Students

    I normally always buy used but look for ones that have no hi lighting. This year I am working primarily off of ebooks to save space in the backpack. It will be me and the tablet this

  7. When patients hit close to home

    LCinTraining replied to LCinTraining's topic in General Nursing

    I'm pretty good at separating myself from patients that remind me of negative experiences. They normally have the same last name of someone who has done me wrong. Sometimes they behave the same, but...

  8. Can't figure out which one

    LCinTraining posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I was told we could download the app instead of the book for Davis's Drug Guide for nurses. There are two apps in the app store. One labled Davis's Drug Guide for Nurses, and it's red. The other is...

  9. Can't figure out which one

    LCinTraining replied to LCinTraining's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Thanks. I think I'll go with the first since you say the samples look like the book. If I just buy the app I can get it for free with my gift card. I am already over 1k in textbooks and that's...

  10. I don't want to work in a nursing home...

    LCinTraining replied to ProudStudent's topic in General Students

    I don't want to do nursing homes either, however not for the reasons cited. I've worked in them. I adored the elderly, however, you get to know them, and then...inevitably, every patient you have is...

  11. What shoes are you getting for clinicals?

    LCinTraining replied to SelenaS's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I bought a pair of cherokees, cut to look like danskos but with extra padding at the top and an elastic cut out on each side for flexibility. I was looking at Danskos because out of all the shoes I...

  12. Yes I did just buy the book "new"

    LCinTraining replied to LCinTraining's topic in General Students

    Me too. Monday that is. Mine came in a sealed box. The box is about the size of the old edition

  13. Planners/calendars for nursing school assignments?

    LCinTraining replied to Jfbeck440's topic in General Students

    I use a franklin covey planner. It has two pages per day. the first pate is a 7:00 a.m. - 9:00 p.m. split into 15 minute increments. There is also a prioritized task list and spot for any phone...

  14. applying for CNA as a student?

    LCinTraining replied to peteypablo's topic in General Students

    I personally wouldn't waste my money, but my job didn't require me to have it. And my program doesn't either. I was hired as an aide with just my EMT certification. There was a slight learning curve...

  15. Nursing Kits???

    LCinTraining replied to HopefulLPN83's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I have a master classic 2 Littman. I bought it used off of my friend who used it in med school. I've used both double tube and single tube and found the double tubes can rub against each other...

  16. Anatomy and Physiology 1

    LCinTraining replied to cici's topic in General Students

    Don't stress over A/P. It's a lot of memorization, but it's a fun class if you enjoy the human body. I bought both flash cards and coloring books and tried the flash cards once. The coloring book, I...

  17. I start nursing school tomorrow!

    LCinTraining replied to kayruhh's topic in General Students

    Yay you! How exciting! I'm still at the "oh no I still need to buy that!" stage. I'll probably start my party dance next week. LOL Good luck this

  18. Any web sites to purchase instead of rent e-textbooks?

    LCinTraining replied to LCinTraining's topic in General Students

    de2013, with my schedule, I normally bring them with me everywhere so I can study any snippit I get. I work nights and sometimes there is an opportunity to study so I always make sure I have...

  19. Any web sites to purchase instead of rent e-textbooks?

    LCinTraining replied to LCinTraining's topic in General Students

    I'm looking for the .pdf of some of these books. Some are free, yes, but they also are missing images. I thought about downloading them AND purchasing the text books and keeping the hard copies at...

  20. Study groups?

    LCinTraining replied to lace2010's topic in General Students

    I'm a kinetic learner so the activity of "doing" with a group helps me study. I will say study groups are only as good as the people you are with. I've been in some pathetic groups that do not...

  21. Scrubs, Anyone?

    LCinTraining replied to Clodhopper's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Our uniforms for school are dictated down to our underpants, so there's not much room for preference there. And I'm college and house poor. My work uniform is normally purchased at Goodwill or other...

  22. Shift Work is Taking a Toll

    LCinTraining replied to joanna73's topic in General Nursing

    I love working twelves and I have children. I tend to lose an entire day sleeping on my four days off, but then I have a full two with the family before taking a very calm day before heading back to...

  23. Any web sites to purchase instead of rent e-textbooks?

    LCinTraining replied to LCinTraining's topic in General Students

    Which I'd do, but I don't want hard copies. I want as many for my iPad as possible to reduce the strain on my back carrying them back and forth to school and

  24. Is a Health and Rehab facility considered LTC?

    LCinTraining replied to WannaBNursey's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I work in an accute rehab and was told by my surgeon that I was at a LTC facility, and required a MRSA test before going under the knife.

  25. Are C's really the new A's in nursing school?

    LCinTraining replied to nursingstudent2458's topic in General Students

    I hope not. That would seriously lower the standards of grad programs and I'm not sure I want just a c average practitioner (MD, DO, NP, or PA) treating me. I know I'll never know their grades, but...
