  1. How do you organize your nursing school work?

    Crazed replied to EMT89's topic in General Students

    Well... When I first started I have everything organized. I have a binder which has an expandable file folder built in. I had a different notebook for lecture and for clinical notes. I had my pens and...

  2. Obese Nurses

    Crazed replied to yadi87's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Hey my research thread made the list.

  3. How do I fight off the nervousness as a New Nursing Student?

    Crazed replied to brmuirhead's topic in General Students

    I think the best way to minimize nervousness is simply to be prepared. I started reviewing NCLEX questions a year before I started. Looking at the rationals for the questions helped me understand the...

  4. That question all nursing students get: why do you want to be a nurse?

    Crazed replied to nursingstudent2458's topic in General Students

    I hate those sort of behavioral questions in interviews. Not only should you prepare for "why nursing" but "why nursing at our facility." My reason: Because I have more respect for the mentally ill...

  5. Worried to death about dosage cal!

    Crazed replied to kayruhh's topic in General Students

    I agree. I also used youtube because honestly, sometimes the way things are taught are not always the easiest. Take for example pumps and calculating drops per mins - the formula we were taught is -...

  6. Motivating the Nurse in All of Us

    Crazed replied to Joe V's topic in Nurses Rock

    I am a shameless fan of Dorothea Dix. "In a world where there is so much to be done, I felt strongly impressed there must be something for me to do." And I did recently have the most perfect fortune...

  7. Do you wear rings?

    Crazed replied to SBJustBreathe's topic in General Students

    Our program takes the guess work out of these questions and tells us we can only wear a plain band, and one set of stud

  8. The War On Fat

    Crazed posted a topic in General Nursing

    To make a long story short I am a student and I write quite a bit about the experience of becoming a nurse. So with that being said I have decided due to some recent developments that I am going to...

  9. The War On Fat

    Crazed replied to Crazed's topic in General Nursing

    I did a 5'10, 350, R CVA weakness if that counts? I'm thinking cybernetics. In any case I thank you all for your lively and spirited discussion as it has given me some new perspectives to incorporate...

  10. ESL Students and Nursing

    Crazed posted a topic in General Students

    I was wondering if this was just my program or if it was more widespread. It seems to me that ESL students really struggle with the lecture materials and NCLEX questions. It saddens me because our...

  11. The War On Fat

    Crazed replied to Crazed's topic in General Nursing

    True. Other than the poverty of being a full time nursing student and providing for two children as well. Strength training, boot camp programs, interval cardio, I take stairs, park at the far end...

  12. The War On Fat

    Crazed replied to Crazed's topic in General Nursing

    Also important to note that the facility being spoken of does hire candidates with BMI's over 35, however they have them commit to loosing the weight the same as anti smoking facilities offer support...

  13. The War On Fat

    Crazed replied to Crazed's topic in General Nursing

    Just because something isn't right doesn't mean that it doesn't happen. I am of the opinion that by confronting things that aren't right rather than shying away from them we as a people might actually...

  14. The War On Fat

    Crazed replied to Crazed's topic in General Nursing

    Right and encouraging health should encompass all health right? The way I see it is by being militant anti-fat a nurse inevitably causes harm to a patient's mental health putting them even further...

  15. The War On Fat

    Crazed replied to Crazed's topic in General Nursing

    Well glad I have long arms then. I suppose the thread can be

  16. The War On Fat

    Crazed replied to Crazed's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you, however I am looking for a thread not regarding hospital policy, or fat itself being healthy or unhealthy but rather why some nurses have a militant anti-fat view and who that

  17. I've probably just lost it all....

    Crazed replied to Nolander's topic in General Students

    Whoa. First of all one of the people who inspired me to be a nurse was my NP for five years. She told me, "Crazed you'll do fine in nursing school. I was pretty much a straight C student because I had...

  18. ESL Students and Nursing

    Crazed replied to Crazed's topic in General Students

    Oh I tutor for free but even with teaching them how to break down questions and pair down to two likely choices we still lost them. As I said a few of them would have been amazing

  19. Sex in the workplace.....what do YOU think should be done?

    Crazed replied to pawsomepooch47's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    My dude works as a registrar in a very large ED on nights. As he says, "It is a meat market in there. You'd think we were all at a night club." I've experienced this first hand as his crew of people...

  20. Favorite things you bought during RN school to help your studies?

    Crazed replied to northmississippi's topic in General Students

    My 8 gig iPod touch, a flashcard app, a premium membership to Quizlet, a NCLEX flashcard app, a really good stethoscope, my own BP cuff (we have to take all vitals manually), and coffee. Lots and...

  21. Pretty sure my clinical instructor HATES me.

    Crazed replied to kmartin906's topic in General Students

    One of my lecture instructors said this semester, "The worst thing about nursing is working with other women. Why do we feel the need to tear each other

  22. Question about gauged ears.

    Crazed replied to allan87's topic in General Students

    I always wondered if nurses have gauged ears can they use them like extra pockets? I never understood the whole gauge thing. Perhaps I'm just old fashioned but it seems a little silly to me. Exactly...

  23. Things you would LOVE to say to your nursing instructors...

    Crazed replied to Montessori Mommy's topic in General Students

    To my lecture instructors: Thank you. You have been a source of information and a fantastic sounding board. Thanks for not telling me right off the bat that because I get sick looking at still...

  24. Pretty sure my clinical instructor HATES me.

    Crazed replied to kmartin906's topic in General Students

    In this case it was more than just her opinion about her as a student, but her as a person. I will be very blunt when I say - I could care less about what my instructor thinks of me as a person. That...

  25. Dear Pysch Nurses

    Crazed posted a topic in Psychiatric

    Why does everyone treat me like I have a communicable disease when I tell them psychiatric nursing is the only specialty I'm drawn to? Do you have this problem
