you said it, drug related!

You have no idea how badly I needed to hear these words. I thank you so very much! My mom was in hospital at Duke in NC for a week with DKA and profuse vomiting, and now refuses to check her glucose at home. I'm trying to get her straight while getti...

I think that's a bit much when it comes to.studying. micro is a lot of science word memorization and chemistry is a lot of equations. Stats involves a lot of practice to catch on. Nutrition requires focus because u will really be needing to know it o...

Two tests down in my micro class and 2 A's to show for it! Got an A and a B on my two quizzes thus far. We're out next week for summer break and then return to our midterm lab practical and the beginning of genetics lecture! I'm actually enjoying thi...

My orientation is July 11th and I plan on taking pen, notepad, and a bottled water. sandanRNstudent

Thanks!

Google Tat2x I got this brand idea from another post here on all nurses! Hope it helps sandanRNstudent

I hope that God will continue to bless you! I pray that if I get to the NCLEX and don't make it the first try that I will have the determination and faith like you have had! Thank you for sharing sandanRNstudent

Have my first exam in micro this afternoon - covering history of it, examples of 5 classifications of microorganisms, and basic chemistry. Hope to do well on it! How are all you others doing? sandanRNstudent

great to hear that the adjustment to your study habits paid off! I hope it continues to be as good! sandanRNstudent

Indyelmer -- can you give more detail on how you use the whiteboard, please?! ie. What do you mean by "the amount of time..." sandanRNstudent

Journee2, please write back as well and let us know of any questions we should be asking at our respective orientations! Thanks, sandanRNstudent

I cannot knight you, promote you, or present you with samurai armor or a crown, customs in other places for similarly heroic deeds. But I can softly bow with sincere admiration and gratitude for teaching so many how to be a better caregiver because o...

I agree- go ahead with the pregnancy starting this fall! I had a CNA2 instructor that had 2 children while in a 2 year program. I don't know how she did it, but neither of hers were planned yet all went well for her. That's the only example that I kn...

Let us know what questions you asked... I've only got two written down and I feel like there are many more I wanna ask! Let us know how it went after you get back from orientation. My orientation is not until the 2nd week in July! :/ sandanRNstudent

bump - any new first day stories to add to this thread?!

I have all of you in my thoughts and am sending a special prayer to God Almighty to give you peace during these stressful times. Please write back and let us know how it went! hugs of encouraging support, sandanRNstudent

GREAT post on tattoo coverups with Tat2x! Thanks for sharing, though I personally don't need them.

Is this truth you speak of true for all majors/professions or is it specific to the healthcare field? Would you find the same problem with medical school students?

I've got a huge LL Bean bookbag and I love it!
