  3. Stanislaus spring 2015 Facebook?

    JenniferWilson74 replied to mishabc's topic in School, College Programs

    I have no idea how to set up a FB page either, lol. My nursing class is the reason I got FB in the first place... and now I use it all the time. The best way I can describe nursing school is a...

    JenniferWilson74 replied to mishabc's topic in School, College Programs

  5. Knitting during class: ok or not?

    JenniferWilson74 replied to BusyBee91's topic in General Students

    This discussion has been entertaining to follow. In pathophysiology, I used to sit next to this girl who could not stop moving or fidgeting in her chair. She always wore this metallic puffy jacket...

  7. Knitting during class: ok or not?

    JenniferWilson74 replied to BusyBee91's topic in General Students

    If someone sits in the back row playing the air trumpet during class, it wouldn't distract the front row, however I BET it would distract the professor,

  8. Knitting during class: ok or not?

    JenniferWilson74 replied to BusyBee91's topic in General Students

    What a great conversation! So I am one of those types who get's easily distracted by what others are doing, which is why I sit in the front row if I can. When I sit in the back, I get distracted by...

  9. Tips for Identifying Cardiac Diseases/Disorders

    JenniferWilson74 replied to Unequaledbeauty_30's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  11. I just lost my mom...now what? Seeking program advice.

    JenniferWilson74 replied to BruiserQueen's topic in General Students

    We are all different, and I can definitely see that from the responses of those who lost a parent during nursing school. I was just beginning my fourth semester (out of six) when my mother's health...

    JenniferWilson74 replied to Cassyb's topic in General Students

    I started working when I was 13, moved out of the house at 17, and dropped out my senior year of HS. I got my GED 6 months later. Spent most of my working years as a waitress, bartender, and then...

  13. When you are at clinicals

    JenniferWilson74 replied to nowim clean's topic in General Students

    This is definitely a two way street. You need a willing, competent, assertive student, but you also need a nurse who is willing to take the student under her/his wing. I remember my first ever...

    JenniferWilson74 replied to Nrsng_School=he11's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  17. Mental health

    JenniferWilson74 replied to Ackeem's topic in Health, Stress Management

  18. Managing money and student loans

    JenniferWilson74 replied to Jfulton006's topic in General Students

    Sounds like a very expensive life lesson! There is no easy way or short-cut to repaying your loans, just have to suck it up and do it. Try to focus on the positives though, you have your ADN degree,...

    JenniferWilson74 replied to Ackeem's topic in Health, Stress Management
