  1. Choosing which hospital for clinicals?

    Well, you are certainly lucky to be able to have any say in where you have your clinicals. I agree with the previous poster about choosing the place you might want to work. Other than that, choose...
  2. Where is the Passion?

    So, don't let them. It's up to
  3. I just finished an extremely difficult semester and I couldn't be happier that I made it through. I can't believe I'm going into my 4th semester of nursing school this summer. It's crazy! Time is...
  4. Who's the Best TV Nurse? - allnurses in the news

    Nurse Dixie McCall, of
  5. Tough Clinical Professor

    I got through by accepting criticism/feedback gracefully whether I agreed with it or not. I learned never to give excuses, only offer ways I would improve...and then work hard at actually improving...
  6. Med terminology class?

    I'm going into my 4th semester of nursing school and really don't see how a medical terminology class would have given me any advantage besides knowing a few things here and there that I quickly...
  7. I'm not sure how much I study. It's a lot. I know in my first semester, I calculated my study time and I easily studied 50 hours a week. It's kind of hard to wrap my mind around that, but it is what...
  8. Looking forward to third semester!

    Third semester was the hardest semester in my entire academic career so far. And I have quite a few credits under my belt. However every program is obviously different. What do the students ahead of...
  9. I study best alone. It's not necessary to be a part of a study group. Some people find them very helpful, though. All I can say is, choose the members of your group
  10. And...Done: allnurses gave me a smack down

    Wow, how awesome! Must feel so amazing!
  11. Other Side of the "Clinicals" Coin

    We are required to get report. But we are supposed to get it at the same time as the nurse is getting report from the previous shift. On occasion, the report will actually just be an update because...
  12. Time off

    I'm going out of town to see friends I haven't been able to see all semester. I have one week and I'm going to live it up. :-) Really, mostly what I'm looking forward to is RELAXING and, for a couple...
  13. I am about to go into my 4th semester of nursing school and I never did get a backpack, lol. I thought I would need one and intended to get one, especially since I didn't think I'd want to use digital...
  14. I'm sorry that, unlike some of your other classmates who are still in, you didn't realize that admitting to using a test bank and "confessing" it a few days later would most likely get you dismissed....
  15. ADVICE NEEDED! Fall Semester Dilema

    I would wait it out for the other schools and reapply next time around if I didn't get in. That's a hard thing to do and I'm certainly not saying you SHOULD do that. But that is what I would do. But...
  16. As I complete my last week of nursing school..

    Wonderful to read this right now. Congrats on finishing nursing
  17. RN-BSN or RN-MSN

    There are programs that will award the BSN along the way. An MSN isn't only for
  18. Pre-nursing to nursing program transition

    Some semesters will be easier than others. The semester I'm currently at the end of (thank goodness) has been about as grueling as it can get. Really difficult to get through physically, emotionally...
  19. If it's my day to give meds during clinical, I stuff every thing imaginable in my pockets, including several saline flushes, alcohol pads and assorted caps, tape and stickers for iv tubing. Then there...
  20. Why do nurses "eat their young"?

    Just like there are some really nasty people in the general world, there are some in the hospital world. I've encountered them unexpectedly, without looking for any such thing. They make themselves...
  21. We are not allowed to give any meds without our instructor present. Period. Doing so will lead to removal from the program. I have never given any med, PO or otherwise, without an instructor by my...
  22. Oh geesh, who cares. Get over it. Really. He likes to play make believe. So what! Who knows what his problem is. Don't you have a test to study for? I've been lied to few times while still a student...
  23. What would you have done differently

    I am half way through. These are some pieces of advice I've learned by making some mistakes or witnessing some made by classmates. Don't compare yourself to others. Don't let yourself get distracted...
  24. I am about to graduate and I feel like I know nothing!

    I suspect you know much more than you realize. I suspect that about myself, too. Or rather I hope so. I still have another semester after this one before preceptorship, but to be honest, with each...
  25. I have two days of lecture and two days of clinical plus I have to be on campus for simulation lab. I try to schedule that for a day I am already there. I try to have one week day off but it's...
