  1. A day in the life of a nursing student

    TheCareerStudent replied to FLhusker's topic in General Students

    I am an accelerated ADN student, with a prior BS, and who will be entering a MSN Bridge after I graduate. I chose the accelerated ADN because admission was quicker then competing for a BSN program in...

  2. A day in the life of a nursing student

    TheCareerStudent replied to FLhusker's topic in General Students

    I do not start clinicals until May but here is my schedule: Wake up 0530 Eat, Dress Get to school by 0700 because we either quiz or test EVERY day. So I study for an hour each morning. Class starts...

  3. FAILING

    TheCareerStudent replied to STRUGGLINGRN STUDENT's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Use your book website! This helps me big time; I use all the study guides, pre and post tests, videos, and interactive images. Also as people often state nursing tests are a different beast compared...

  4. Teacher not really good at teaching....

    TheCareerStudent replied to bri2012's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I am an electronics technician so I will explain in electronics geek lingo. A transmission is the movement of an electrical impulse aka electrical energy. A transduction is converting electrical...

  5. 3.9 GPA, cant pass Nursing school tests!???

    TheCareerStudent replied to fleurafor's topic in General Students

    Nursing school is a whole new beast. I have a BS and it did nothing to prepare me for this. You have to learn new ways to study, test, and look at things in general. There are resources at school, ask...

  6. School asks for private info?

    TheCareerStudent replied to malarwen's topic in General Students

    Wow that is a lot of info. We had to do a general physical, 5 panel wizz quiz, vaccinations, and titers. Your school should leave things like WBC, Hemotocrit, etc. between you and your doctor. Your...

  7. What to do???

    TheCareerStudent replied to MommaRN86's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I have seen situations like this in other fields, so sorry you have to deal with this. From my personal experiences both as a general team member and manager I have found situations like this can be...

  8. Many New Grads......

    TheCareerStudent replied to Weebee's topic in General Nursing

    Some of the new nurses I know who are hanging on for dear life are only doing it to pay off student loans and because the economy is in the toilet. I would be willing to bet once a...

  9. Therapy for me....

    TheCareerStudent replied to punkydoodlesRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I am almost 30 and a second career nursing student. I wish I had not "wasted my time" too sometimes, with my previous degree. But the way I try to look at it is I have experiences most nurses never...

  10. Am I the only one?!!

    TheCareerStudent replied to BrewerRN's topic in General Nursing

    It sucks when people, of any age, do not care about the team. Everyone needs to help out their coworkers and always calling in is detrimental to team

  11. Am I the only one?!!

    TheCareerStudent replied to BrewerRN's topic in General Nursing

    Not all the newer generation sees it differently. I dislike when the older generation labels all of us like that. Our generation has a lot of accomplishments that past ones don't like higher college...

    TheCareerStudent replied to chinacatSN's topic in General Students

    Heck no,

  13. Was the Nursing program your first choice?

    TheCareerStudent replied to can'tdecide's topic in General Students

    I originally was signed up for XRay too. But then after volunteering I realized that there was too much down time for me. I got bored. So I started to look into nursing and now I can't imagine doing...

    TheCareerStudent replied to chinacatSN's topic in General Students

    I have a "tramp stamp" and my husband happens to think it is pretty

  15. Lament of the White Clinical Pants

    TheCareerStudent replied to cogath's topic in General Students

    I think white is used to easily distinguish you from the crowd in emergencies or just in general. Since nurses wear all different colors, it is easiest to put you in a color not often worn by

  16. Stop! I don't want someone like you touching me!

    TheCareerStudent replied to Seth O Scope's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I had a humiliating procedure this past year. I was thinking of requesting only females present but then I thought about it and figured I should not judge my health care team on their sex. In turn I...

  17. At least 2/3 of my BSN-A cohort is failing... what to do?

    TheCareerStudent replied to sertile's topic in General Students

    Sorry I should not have gotten defensive. Had a rough morning and your post rubbed me the wrong

  18. At least 2/3 of my BSN-A cohort is failing... what to do?

    TheCareerStudent replied to sertile's topic in General Students

    I am a nursing student, that is where I get my information. First MOD we went from 30 original class members to less then half. Next MOD half of that is failing. Also if you read my original post I...

  19. At least 2/3 of my BSN-A cohort is failing... what to do?

    TheCareerStudent replied to sertile's topic in General Students

    Sorry to hear. I am all for teamwork but when it comes to nursing school the only thing you have control over is your own grade. I think losing 95% of the original class before graduation seems to be...

  20. Has anyone been in trouble at work over what they posted in allnurses.com

    TheCareerStudent replied to Blackcat99's topic in General Nursing

    I keep a secret identity online

  21. Do Hiring Managers Ever Call To Notify Of Not Getting The Job?

    TheCareerStudent replied to redraider1977's topic in General Nursing

    With my previous experience as a manager I always made the calls for hiring, HR put together the package and employment agreement or contract but I always delivered the good news. Good luck, hope this...

    TheCareerStudent replied to Jonathank's topic in General Nursing

    Haha, I wanted to say girls because, most of the time, women know the difference. I was making a reference to maturity. Thanks for the

  24. Sexy nurse image in Hooters ad

    TheCareerStudent replied to Jonathank's topic in General Nursing

    If you knew that nurses come in all different forms why would you disagree with my original statement that nurses are generalized in a certain fashion? I know I am beautiful, talented, smart, funny,...

  25. Career change

    TheCareerStudent replied to lpac8's topic in General Nursing

    Fortunately I do not have to work and am able to dedicate myself 100% to school, plus my hubby is supportive. A lot of the women in my class have grave difficulties trying to work and go through an...
