2. Anyone else finishing up their first week?

   AmyRNin06 replied to studentnurse74's topic in General Students

   Oh gosh, I am counting the weeks, too. :chuckle I was thinking of making a little chart to hang on the wall at home so I can cross off each week that I survive. 15 weeks doesn't sound as bad as 'a semester, minus one week', does it? All I can s...

3. Scared about nursing

   AmyRNin06 replied to sammilynn's topic in General Students

   Suzy, It's nice to hear reassurance from more experienced students! I don't know about everyone else, but I think a big part of my anxiety stems from the fact that I've known I was admitted since May 17 and the wait is KILLING me. My mind has had w...

4. Proving Skills in Lab/Clinicals?

   AmyRNin06 posted a topic in General Students

   I'm sure this will sound dumb, but what the heck. My biggest fear in beginning clinicals is proving my skills to the instructor. I do pretty well on tests, I remember things well and I think my critical thinking is decent (and I know it will impro...

   AmyRNin06 replied to sammilynn's topic in General Students

   I think that being nervous is perfectly normal! I certainly hope so, since I've felt nervously queasy for the past month and I don't start my ADN program until Aug 23... :chair: Amy

7. Starting to freak out...

   AmyRNin06 replied to mrsmoo2's topic in General Students

   Hi there, you're not alone! I'm married w/three kids (oldest 8, youngest 18mo) and I keep thinking of all the "what ifs". The elation of being accepted into the nursing program is gone and this nagging anxiety has taken its place. I'm trying hard...

8. MR. YUK is mean, MR. YUK is green.

   AmyRNin06 replied to oramar's topic in Pennsylvania

   Not the OP, but thanks for sharing that link! My parents used the stickers when I was little and I knew to stay FAR away from the labeled items. I'd like to order some to use with my own kids. I cloth diaper my 18mo son and have a diaper cover wit...

9. I may be going to the ER for a migraine...help!

   AmyRNin06 replied to z's playa's topic in Emergency

   I really hope you've gotten the treatment you needed by now. My husband has near-constant migraines and we are no strangers to emergency rooms. We've had a couple of eyerollers but overall, the nurses have been fantastic. His BP is normally 110...
