  1. The oh-so-common rude classmate(s)...

    JenniferWilson74 replied to ioiiipop01's topic in General Students

    Wow, is all I have to say right now. First of all, it sounds as if your leadership is lacking, NOT YOU. How did these other persons know of said conversation, how did they get your email? These are...

  2. Vital Sign Skills Test

    JenniferWilson74 replied to my4helpers's topic in General Students

    What really helped for me was after I pumped up the cuff, I let the air out very, very slowly. For our VS we had to do a "two step" where we palpate the brachial and pump up the cuff to get a...

  3. Bankruptcy and Jobs

    JenniferWilson74 replied to ilovemicrobiology's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    To clear a few other things up, BK stays on your record for 10yrs. Foreclosure is 7. You can get a mortgage right away, however not through Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae, and since they originate most...

  4. Head to toe assessments on classmates?

    JenniferWilson74 replied to Clovery's topic in General Students

    I don't know how it is at other schools, but at my school you pick the person you want to work with. When you are doing the physical assessments you are in a hospital like setting and we always pull...

    JenniferWilson74 replied to Clovery's topic in General Students

    I am three weeks into my first semester and we've already done the head to to assessment, but it didn't require removal of clothes. Next week we do sponge baths on each other, where we have to wear a...

  7. OH MY, I Wonder.....

    JenniferWilson74 replied to sweetnurse63's topic in General Nursing

    PMI (mortgage insurance) only covers UP TO 20% of the purchase price of the house. If you purchase a house for $100,000 and put $0 down, your PMI will cover $20,000 in the even that you default and...

  8. Do I even have a chance at nursing school?

    JenniferWilson74 replied to christianchik97's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    While your GPA is great for most feilds, if you are trying to get into a competitive nursing program you may have a tough time. That's the bad news. The good news is that it is still a decent GPA...

  10. older nursing student

    JenniferWilson74 replied to deer101's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'll be 40 when I (finally!!) graduate with a BSN. But I'm okay with this because I've heard that 40 is the new 21 and I believe everything I hear, so :w00t:

  11. What are your credentials and what's your IQ?

    JenniferWilson74 replied to Weber's topic in General Nursing

    My IQ is 7 1/2.... oh wait, that's my shoe

  12. 1/3 of my paycheck goes to tax!

    JenniferWilson74 replied to pale_pilsen's topic in General Nursing

    33% taxes is just the beginning my friend. Let's not forget, you get taxed on what you make, taxed on what you spend, taxed on what you own (car, house) and if you happen to be able to save a couple...

  13. Gastric acid

    JenniferWilson74 replied to sanasana's topic in General Nursing

    I thought gastric acid was only produced when we eat food. From what source are you getting that it is produced more between 10pm and

  14. Why does anyone go into nursing?

    JenniferWilson74 replied to guineapiglover2011's topic in General Students

    I start NS next semester (BSN) and I chose this career for three reasons. First, when I started this journey (3 yrs ago), everything I saw on the news and read on the internet said there was a...

  15. Average IQ of a BSN nurse

    JenniferWilson74 replied to Weber's topic in General Students

    So maybe what you are asking is, are there any nurses out there in the world who have made it through nursing school who have scored 115 or less on an IQ test. I'm going out on a limb here and saying...

  16. Average IQ of a BSN nurse

    JenniferWilson74 replied to Weber's topic in General Students

    Rain Man had a high IQ but I'd bet he wouldn't make it through nursing school. My IQ is exactly 100, I've taken three different online tests over the years, and I always score 100. Am I average in...

  17. A little "pick me up" for students and new grads

    JenniferWilson74 replied to MICUBSNRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    To the OP, thank you for taking the time to write this. I have worked my tail off to finally get accepted into a BSN program and I start in the fall. I have been discouraged by what I have been...

  18. Could I be the only reformed misfit in nursing school?

    JenniferWilson74 replied to KatePasa's topic in General Students

    What a great post! I definitely relate to you. I grew up below the poverty level, shoes had holes in them, clothes never fit quite right, and there was never enough food to eat. My mother was...

  19. Which is the best way to stay organized with notes, homework,etc.?

    JenniferWilson74 replied to fc89's topic in General Students

    I ditto everything said here, but will add a few additional things that help me: 1. I get a giant wall sized calander (with all 12 months visible) and hang it above my desk. With bright permanent...

  20. Dress Code Violations?

    JenniferWilson74 replied to BP91's topic in General Students

    With the strict dress code, is there an option for long sleeves versus short

  21. Students cheating on tests....

    JenniferWilson74 replied to dreamer2011's topic in General Students

    I don't see this as cheating. If the student stole the physical test and passed it on to another student, okay, I see this as a black and white issue and it is clearly cheating. But a student who has...

  22. What can you tell me about Modesto, CA area?

    JenniferWilson74 replied to GM2RN's topic in California Nursing

    I have lived in Modesto for almost 10 years now and I love it here. The best zip code is 95356 and some areas in 95350 are very nice too. I live in Salida (95368) wich is basically an extesion of...

  23. Can I be a nurse if I'm NOT detail oriented by nature?

    JenniferWilson74 replied to travelgurl18's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Memory is a skill like anything else. The more you do it, the better you get at it. When you go home at the end of the day, review what you did that day, where you messed up, where you struggled to...

  24. Worried about student loan debt

    JenniferWilson74 replied to mariposabella's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My advice is to live as cheaply and humbly as possible. Don't live off romin noodles though, because several years ago a co worker's daughter was a "starving" college student living off those. She...

  25. Just starting out

    JenniferWilson74 replied to laynem's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    At the JC that I attend, if you get a C you cannot retake the class. If you get a D or an F you can. So this is why C's are so bad, because it is a blemish that can never be undone. The higher your...
