  1. Need Advice on Clinical Instructor

    Everline replied to hardworkinmom's topic in General Students

    I agree with the pp. After we had check-offs in lab, with my past clinical instructors, they hovered over the ones they didn't trust could do the work in the hospital. If they were confident that you...

  2. Hostility

    Everline replied to MissRis13's topic in General Students

    My classmates are very supportive of each other, sometimes surprisingly so. I expected something different and was pleasantly surprised. There will always be some people who are hostile in almost any...

  3. Is this college worth the price?

    Everline replied to Onmyway14's topic in General Students

    My opinion: That's too much. I wouldn't do it unless scholarships are going to take that total down significantly.

  4. Is there time for extracurricular activities while in Nursing school?

    Everline replied to arh77's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This differs for each individual and will vary depending on where you are in nursing school/the demands of a particular course. I'm in my last semester and I could probably pull that off now, but no...

  5. Why nurses eat their young?

    Everline replied to yayita's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I have to admit, I've encountered very mean nurses during my clinical rotations. But come to think of it, I've encountered very mean people in all walks of life. I guess there are some mean people in...

  6. Are Nursing Programs harder to get into?

    Everline replied to Akamnonu8's topic in General Students

    Why shouldn't it be

  7. 34, Mom and a GED

    Everline replied to Cassyb's topic in General Students

    You can do it. Set your mind to it and stay committed. You will have to take pre-reqs and possibly pre-reqs to your pre-reqs. But stick with it and you will get there with hard work. I graduated from...

  8. how long is ADN program if BA in another field

    Everline replied to N_u_r_s_e's topic in General Students

    I already had my BA in another field and the nursing program is the same length as it is for everyone else—5 semesters. The difference was in the length of time it took for pre-reqs because I had...

  9. Sharing personal information in class

    Everline replied to ceasarandsushi's topic in General Students

    I wouldn't feel too bad about it. Learn from it and move on. There's a good chance no one is even giving it a second

  10. clinical--dont know how to use automated VS "machine"

    Everline replied to mollysaunt's topic in General Students

    I remember having this exact same problem when I was in my first semester of nursing school. I was really embarrassed. I had to ask my clinical instructor to show me how to use a Dynamap. He did....

  11. 4.0 in nursing school?

    Everline replied to RubySlippers:)'s topic in General Students

    I'm currently doing it. I'm in my last semester and have a 4.0, including pre-reqs. However I have not gotten 100% on all my exams. I'm not going to say it's impossible, but I will say it's highly...

  12. Is it okay to tape record on my phone my patient's report?

    Everline replied to strawberryluv's topic in General Students

    Yes, I've encountered nurses recording their reports more frequently than I would have guessed, but it is always on a specific device provided by the hospital. Sorry I didn't make that

  13. What is supposed to be the hardest year?

    Everline replied to lampard's topic in General Students

    Our third semester was the one where a lot of people struggled and some did not make it. That semester made fundamentals look like a

  14. What's your Opinion

    Everline replied to MrRager's topic in General Students

    Nursing school will most likely rule your life. It takes up a great deal of time if you want to do well. I'm not trying to discourage you but if pre-reqs are taking a toll on you, things are likely...

  15. Feeling Discouraged Already

    Everline replied to Xxosillyme00123's topic in General Students

    Sim lab can be quite difficult. Please remember, you are learning. Simulation lab is supposed to be the place you can safely make mistakes and improve your skills. Learn from the experience. Journal...

  16. Disruptive & talkative students (vent)

    Everline replied to Little_Bear2013's topic in General Students

    I saw that kind of thing early in the program, specifically for the first two semesters. Now that we are almost at graduation, most of those people are gone or have seriously curtailed their behavior....

  17. Clumsy in Clinical

    Everline replied to trudyshaff's topic in General Students

    I had my "little green book" where I had written all the supplies needed for several common skills and procedures. I also noted where said supplies could be found in the hospital where I was currently...

  18. Is it okay to tape record on my phone my patient's report?

    Everline replied to strawberryluv's topic in General Students

    A couple of things: One of the hospitals where I did two rotations had a sheet specifically made for giving and receiving report. You might look into that and see if they will give you a copy. I...

    Everline replied to mellowdude's topic in General Students

    Great post! Thank you for

  20. Serious poop discussion

    Everline replied to Trenia's topic in General Students

    Your first post was an attempt at sarcasm? Understanding the meaning of that word, I don't see it. Your second post, however, comes a bit closer-- though the word "rude" comes more readily to

  21. Learning ABG's with tic-tac-toe

    Everline replied to stargirl018's topic in General Students

    That's the method that made me understand it and it has always worked for me on

  22. precepting assignment- need advice

    Everline replied to Iliauna's topic in General Students

    Others have already answered you and I agree with a lot that has been said. However, I wanted to say that I can understand your disappointment and think it is something many people would feel in the...

  23. Tomorrow is my first exam in fundamentals of nursing. I feel a bit scared to say the

    Everline replied to NeoNatMom's topic in General Students

    The first exam of any semester with a new teacher is hard because you don't know what to expect. If you've studied adequately and done practice questions then all that is left is to go in and do the...

  24. Feel like I don't know anything

    Everline replied to DrkCocoMurse215's topic in General Students

    This ^^^ OP, you are not alone. I will be graduating in December and often feel the same way. I have to believe we know more than we realize. But I am also sure that I have so much to learn. I'm going...

  25. You just got accepted.....

    Everline replied to michelle99's topic in General Students

    I'm in my last semester, but if I had to go back and do it all again (God forbid!), I'd place a high priority on a new laptop, as mine decided to just quit working in my first semester. That really...
