  1. Help for plantar fasciitis

    maliat replied to italyrn's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    i agree with everyone. It's all about the inserts. Find some shoes with removable insoles. And then buy some insoles. A good running shoe store should be able to help you. I had to try on a couple of...

  2. "Performance" Anxiety?

    maliat replied to cherubhipster's topic in General Students

    Just finished my 2nd year, going into my 3rd year of nursing school. Still get nervous all the time, but at least I've learned how to sleep the night before clinicals. All I can say is try to project...

  3. Graduating May 08

    maliat replied to studentnursemari's topic in General Nursing

    I'm graduating in a year, but was recently talking to a new grad. She basically said, if you get an offer, accept it. Don't wait for something that you have your heart set on. You can either transfer...

  4. Help! placing foley in obese females

    maliat replied to avatar78's topic in General Students

    One thing my ob teacher taught me is that it will wink when you wipe firmly with the betadine swab. I can't think of putting a foley in now without seeing her wink.

  5. To sell or to keep my AP book?

    maliat replied to Glina's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I've used my book in nursing school. First used it when I was learning assessment. But it was really helpful for pathophysiology. You really have to know what's normal first, and I would review that...

  6. Fundraising ideas needed...

    maliat replied to justme1972's topic in General Students

    Car Wash. We didn't make the most money from that, but It was very decent for 4 hours work. My advice is not to do presale tickets unless you know you'll have a lot of sales. Just spend some time on...

  7. California or Hawaii?

    maliat replied to rockerlover's topic in Nursing Career

    I live in Hawaii. I'm thinking of moving to California after I graduate. The one thing about Hawaii is that everything is so expensive. Not just housing, but also how much stuff like food costs. I...

  8. Don't Rain On My Parade ....2009 Grads

    maliat replied to AnalegnaRN's topic in General Students

    I had not thought that I can say I graduate next year. But I do go around saying I'm halfway through. I just finished semester 3 of a 6 semester BSN program. I graduate May 2009.

  9. ** Any Class of '09ers out there?? Post here!!!

    maliat replied to kayel's topic in General Students

    Hello- I'm still recovering from last semester. It was not too hard, but very busy. And next semester I'll have maternal health, pediatrics and a nursing elective. Classes don't start for a week, but...

  10. Age you will/were graduated?

    maliat replied to sweetiez's topic in General Students

    30. I'm older than some of my clinical instructors. But I know I would have hated nursing school in my early twenties.

  11. It's Hard to Live with a Nurse because....

    maliat replied to nurz2be's topic in Nursing Humor

    I only just finished my 3rd semester of nursing school, but I already annoy my dad. I'm always giving him diet advice that he doesn't take. And whenever he coughs I want to know if it's his ace...

  12. What Is Your Most Gross, Yucky, Disgusting Nursing Horror Story?

    maliat replied to yazisizit's topic in Nursing Humor

    I now have my own gross story, the first week back to clinicals. I dc'd a foley and the urine was so gross my instructor had me go to the dirty utility room to empty it. I thought it was just really...

  13. ** Any Class of '09ers out there?? Post here!!!

    maliat replied to kayel's topic in General Students

    I'm taking Adult Health I and Psych-Mental Health Nursing. Now that I've had 2 meetings for Psych nursing I'm not as nervous about this class as I thought I would be. We're only following one patient,...

  14. Do you work night clinicals?

    maliat replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Students

    This semester I have a mental health clinical from 3-9:30 at night. And then I'm back in class the next morning at 8:30 am. Not looking forward to this.

  15. ** Any Class of '09ers out there?? Post here!!!

    maliat replied to kayel's topic in General Students

    I'm starting my 2nd year tomorrow. I feel like I've already almost started because I helped with the new student orientation this past week. My brain is not ready for studying yet.

  16. Do any students deal with a nervous stomach or IBS?

    maliat replied to time2fly's topic in General Students

    I have IBS. I've been lucky it hasn't interfered with clinicals (knock on wood.) I take the "smooth texture" Metamucil. It is a little gloppy, but you get used to it. It was recommended to me because...

    maliat replied to kayel's topic in General Students

    Congrats Kayel for finishing your year. And Congrats to all the new people who have just been accepted to nursing school. I am having the surgery. I'm waiting until after I take a trip to San...

  18. Weird habits you've picked up since starting Nursing school

    maliat replied to Kiringat's topic in General Students

    I agree with the cane thing. There was this guy I saw using crutches going down the stairs dangerously. I saw him do this two weeks in a row and I kept imagining him falling down headfirst. I wanted...

  19. ** Any Class of '09ers out there?? Post here!!!

    maliat replied to kayel's topic in General Students

    Nope it does not grow back. You just learn to live without it and I don't know if I can. If you're not athletic like me, you don't have to have the surgery. My surgeon said it's up to me if I want the...

    maliat replied to kayel's topic in General Students

    Hey guys- :welcome: to everyone who is just joining this thread. I just finished my first year (last test this past Friday) and I'm enjoying telling everyone that I'm graduating in 2 years!! It sounds...

  21. ** Any Class of '09ers out there?? Post here!!!

    maliat replied to kayel's topic in General Students

    My semester is flying by. I'm getting ready for our second set of tests and we just started clinicals again. At least they are fairly good about not scheduling everything in the same week.

  22. Any Fundraising Ideas?

    maliat replied to Athens092706's topic in General Nursing

    These are some great suggestions. I'll have to keep them in mind for my class. My suggestion is to check out the local restaurants. Usually there will be some specialty that people sell for fund...

  23. ** Any Class of '09ers out there?? Post here!!!

    maliat replied to kayel's topic in General Students

    Classes start Monday for me. My main worry is that my last textbook won't come in time. I should have remembered earlier to order it, but I kept on forgetting.

  24. ** Any Class of '09ers out there?? Post here!!!

    maliat replied to kayel's topic in General Students

    Yup. Where's your friend moving too?

  25. ** Any Class of '09ers out there?? Post here!!!

    maliat replied to kayel's topic in General Students

    I'm done with the 1st semester. My body still hasn't realized that I've finished the 1st semester and am on break. I still have moments of anxiety. It doesn't help that some of my classmates are...
