  3. Potential nursing students who dont want to hear the truth

    grownuprosie replied to smartnurse1982's topic in General Nursing

    As a bright eyed, bushy tailed, 3rd quarter student, this is my take. I realize that the job market is tough. I know that I will not be making my states median RN income upon graduation. I took stats,...

  4. Transferring Nursing Schools - From one state to another

    grownuprosie replied to FLboundBSN's topic in General Students

    That depends on which school you are coming from and where you are going. My school, for example, will not accept transferrs even if there is space in the incoming class. Each quarter, the students...

    grownuprosie replied to Sean-S's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    i am confused. i just finished my first med/surg clinical and this has not been my experience. the docs will order a 50ml pb q6h and it was always run with primary tubing and then saline flushed and...

    yeah... it is cheating... awkward... to the OP, I know how you feel. my class just had it's final test. unfortunately, some left in tears after grades came out. I felt like a jerk later that day. We...

  11. How should I prepare for nursing school?

    grownuprosie replied to Lucidity's topic in General Students

    sand_dollar is right though. without knowing what you need to know, you would just be wasting your time trying to study ahead of time. if you really need something nursing related to fill your hours...

  12. Question about weird clinical hours

    grownuprosie replied to gc1010's topic in General Students

    I think this is just a typo. it should say, "Pre" clinical paperwork. This is what my school calls it too. Am i right? I dont want to put words in your mouth,

  13. Are they oversharing or am I a prude?

    grownuprosie posted a topic in General Students

    Before starting nursing school, I had never come accross more peers that share quite so much... um... detail. Classmates will walk up to me and start talking to me about their heavy flow or their...

  14. Are they oversharing or am I a prude?

    grownuprosie replied to grownuprosie's topic in General Students

    all due respect, it does not take balls to be offensive. it takes balls to be decent. i just don't think being crude is necessary, which was kind of my whole

  15. Are they oversharing or am I a prude?

    grownuprosie replied to grownuprosie's topic in General Students

    it is the same way they evade t-rexs in Jurasic park. Is you remain still, they cannot see

    grownuprosie replied to stacey25's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Is there a question that your essay is supposed to be answering? I am wondering if you could add something more personal. i promise you that half the applicants went to class right after work(I did),...

  17. My first care plan need help please

    grownuprosie replied to Kaysmom8's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    You are right, she should know better, but nurses can be the worst pts with the worst health maintenance. Just because she is a nurse does not mean these dx do not

  18. Are they oversharing or am I a prude?

    grownuprosie replied to grownuprosie's topic in General Students

    thank you! I mentioned it to one of the few guys in my class, thinking he would comiserate. Now every time we talk about things we saw in clinical, he says, "grownuprosie, you might want to cover your...

  19. What do do while waiting

    grownuprosie replied to jescalynn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think the CNA idea is great too. not only are you getting into the nursing field, but you get those employee benefits another poster mentioned. I would also suggest saving $ like there is no...

    grownuprosie replied to Hana_617's topic in General Students

    I see where you are coming from now. I gues you have to ask youself this question since you are the only one that knows you well enough to answer. Knowing what you know now about your abilities and...

    grownuprosie replied to grownuprosie's topic in General Students

    Thanks for responding, caliotter3! I read your posts alot and I have a ton of respect for you. I guess your plan is better than my current response, which is a "deer in the headlights" expression...

  22. Failing Med-Surg, Should I withdraw?

    grownuprosie replied to Hana_617's topic in General Students

    It looks like you still have plenty of time to decide, since you have 3 more tests to go. an 85 is attainable. Some people in my class need a 94 on the next test to pass, so you are not in as bad a...

  23. Is it appropriate to use a classmate as a job reference?

    grownuprosie replied to loveoutloud's topic in General Students

    I don't think it is ok from a credibility stand point. The employer will not be able to tell the difference on paper from a classmate with an objective opinion of you and your BFF from nursing school...
