  1. Needing some encouragement?

    When I first started going to college I took an English 101 class. At one point or another, I just stopped going and never properly withdrew. Needless to say, I got an F in that class, which remains...
  2. Debt and Nursing School

    I would not pay that much for a BSN if I already had an A.A. degree (which should mean that the "general education" classes have been completed.) I urge you to look into many schools and consider the...
  3. We didn't have to prep before clinicals. We did not have to go in the night before. We came in early and got our assignments and then got report from the nurses and proceeded with our day. A lot of...
  4. Mental health

    Yes I
  5. Nursing is a gift

    People go into nursing for many different reasons, sometimes even for what they hope will be good benefits and a good salary. I see nothing wrong with this if they are competent nurses. I'm not really...
  6. have anyone suffer from brain fog?

    I have experienced "brain fog" due to lack of sleep or after getting through a very stressful term. It is usually short lived and goes away after some rest and self-care. However, the way you wrote...
  7. Do not go to sf state

    This sounds like...nursing school to me. Not to say it isn't frustrating, upsetting, or sometimes an inconvenience. But you learn to adjust both in terms of your scheduling and your emotions and...
  8. Nursing student lacking passion?

    I feel like the passion is under the surface. I know it's there, but nursing school does not bring it out in me. I don't know what's going to happen when I graduate and begin working, but I believe I...
  9. Sometimes I feel like I am not smart enough

    When I started pre-reqs, I wasn't sure if I could handle all of the sciences. I didn't even want to tell people what my goals were for fear I would flop and embarrass myself. I was afraid I couldn't...
  10. Is it me? Or is it everybody else?

    I am curious as to why the instructor allows this to continue. I haven't had this experience. My clinical instructors sent people home for
  11. It's perfectly normal where I go to nursing school. It used to worry and upset me. But now, going into my last semester, I'm completely relaxed about it. They'll work it out. They always
  12. Do you really need a laptop for nursing school?

    I had to go one semester without a laptop and so I know the difference. I would not want to be without one again...not in nursing school. It's not that you have to have one. It's that it makes a huge...
  13. Nursing School Makeup (clinicals)

    Yup, I wear makeup. I wear foundation, powder and lipgloss. I never do my eyes up or anything like that. I don't see a problem with eyeliner as long as it's not heavy. Only reminder is that you may...
  14. Is it worth it? My tuition is high.

    That's way too much. JMO, of course. There is no way I would get into that much debt for a BSN. No
  15. I'm a New Graduate BSN!!! :)

    That's awesome!
  16. How to figure out mcg/kg/min

    Where does this question come from? I think there might be an
  17. Any luck with Michael Linares SimpleNursing

    His free videos have been helpful for little things like ways to remember the various types of insulin. I would not pay that kind of money for his paid course/program, however. There are too many free...
  18. Worst semester ever!

    Congrats on making it through a difficult semester! I've had a couple of them in a row and am soon going into my last semester, too. I wish you the best as move towards graduation...and beyond!
  19. Is my school the only one?

    We have Fundamentals, then med-surg I, II, and III. We also have OB/Peds and Mental Health I and II and our preceptorship. All of these are separate courses with clinical rotations. This is not...
  20. Where do we keep our stuff?

    I use digital books so I won't have to lug heavy textbooks around. I use a computer bag for my MacBook and whatever odds and ends I need when I go to class. Having said that, we could request lockers...
  21. What is your clinical makeup routine :)

    I absolutely wear makeup to clinical! I don't want to scare the patients, lol. I wear foundation, concealer and powder. I don't put anything on my eyes, though, not even mascara because I'm too afraid...
  22. 1st semester expectations

    I can't really say because I don't know anything about the program you are attending and I don't know what kinds of things you personally find difficult. In general, most people have to become...
  23. Notes: Laptop, Tablet, or Paper?

    I use an app called AudioNote. It records and gives you a space to type notes that are timestamped so when you review them, you know what part of the recording correlates to the notes you were
  24. Notes: Laptop, Tablet, or Paper?

    I use my MacBook to type notes and record lectures. I don't write notes by hand unless there is no other option. I used to think writing things out helped me remember and/or learn them, but then it...
  25. weight gain/energy

    Going into my fifth semester and I haven't had one cup of coffee. I do try to go to sleep at a decent hour every night. I put an end to studying each day by about 9pm and get in bed no later than...
