I didn't read every comment, so I'm not sure if this has been said...but, I would find a sturdy, and cheap backpack for your nursing books. I have a friend/classmate that spent quite a bit of money...
I am about to start my junior year of my nursing program and I, like other students, have several worries. Although I am excited about entering junior year, I am also nervous about the work load that...
There are several things in my life that pointed me into the direction of nursing...I just didn't realize it at the time. I had wonderful, supportive nurses throughout the birth of my four children;...
I do not feel that the poster was trying to insult the op. I think she was just trying to say that English is probably not the op's primary language. I think some wonderful examples have been given...
I only have a 35-40 minute drive to school, but during this time I will often listen to lectures that I have recorded. On an exam or quiz day I will talk out-loud to myself in the car. I will...
Today is our third simulation of the semester. We are given patient hx, and doctor orders one day prior to the simulation in order to prepare. This "patient" is 75 yrs. old, admitted with fever,...
Thanks for the help everyone :) I had the SIM yesterday and everything went fine. The patient did NOT die, so the rumor I heard was just that...a rumor

I understand where you are coming from; however, I am on the opposite end of the spectrum. I am just finishing with my second year of my BSN program, and I will be 42 years old when I graduate. You...
I am a nursing student and I have to write a short essay on what to do given a certain situation. Here is the scenario: Woman is diagnosed with acute genital herpes; she does not want to tell her...
My state is Indiana, and so far I have not found genital herpes on the list. I'll keep searching, but I'm starting to think that my first thoughts were correct in thinking that this info cannot be...
My nursing program puts us in teams of ten. The group you are put into is the same group you will be with all semester. Any time we do team work in a nursing class we gather in our groups. One of my...
I've wondered the same thing. I'm almost at the end of my first semester, and I'm able to apply for student nursing jobs this spring. They offer 16hr/week for student nurses at our local hospital,...
All of my nursing classes give long assignments that are only worth between 2-5 points. The assignments are not usually hard, but they are time consuming. I've put several hours into an assignment...
I'm not sure if this is a HIPAA violation or not, but I wouldn't be surprised if it is. I know you stated that there were no patient identifiers in the picture. However, lets just say hypothetically...
I have to write a short, two page paper on a nurse who has made a difference. We can interview a nurse that we know, use a fictional nurse from a television program, or find a story in the media. I...
Today is my first exam in any of my nursing classes. I'm nervous to say the least. I know this will be a critical thinking type exam, but since I've never had a critical thinking exam I'm worried...
I totally understand! I used to be the type of person that if my house wasn't clean enough to my standards, then I was not happy. I still enjoy a clean house, however I have realized that there are...
I'm having trouble finding scrubs that fit me properly. I cannot try different brands to find a good fit because my program requires that we buy Cherokee brand only. I'm a size 14 and the medium...
Thanks again for the advice everyone :) I went back and exchanged my mediums and bought large. I am MUCH happier with them and I know I will be much more comfortable with the larger size. I'm...
Katie, I tryed on the Cherokee Flexibles scrub top and loved it! They were currently out of the color that I needed but I put one on order! It was by far the most comforable top I've found
