  1. I want to adopt a dog from a shelter

    Everline replied to alexhecht's topic in General Students

    I adopted a dog a couple of months before I started nursing school. He was about five years old when we got him. He became very attached to me and we had some separation anxiety issues. I was worried...

  2. I cried in front of my instructor!?

    Everline replied to AllyMichelle's topic in General Students

    Try not to do that again if you can help it. It's not the worse thing you could do or anything. But crying is perceived in different ways, some of which will not bode

  3. Starting Nursing School in Fall - Top Tips to Prepare?

    Everline replied to kros14's topic in General Students

    My top tip: Enjoy life before nursing school. Short of acquiring what you need for school and getting your physical exam/vaccinations or whatever your school requires, do nothing nursing school...

  4. Did you get to choose your Clinicals site/schedule?

    Everline replied to Stacilator's topic in General Students

    No. We go were they place us at the time and on the days they decide. Additionally they wait until the last minute to tell us. We can try to switch with someone but other than that if the schedule...

  5. Is it really that bad?

    Everline replied to MedicalPartisan's topic in General Students

    Yes it is really that bad...sometimes. For me, nursing school has been filled with high and low points and a lot in between. There haven't been a lot of low points, but when they come, they are very,...

  6. Study Superstitions

    Everline replied to USMCRN2015's topic in General Students

    My daughter made me a bracelet that I wear to every exam. It's like a good luck charm, I guess. It's more comforting than anything

  7. Burnt out on studying - how to recharge?

    Everline replied to Baubo516's topic in General Students

    I am half way through the third semester of a five semester program. The first half of the semester was way over the top as far as the workload. I made it through that rotation somehow and then we had...

  8. Is nursing worth it?

    Everline replied to 2016New's topic in General Students

    I've been having these thoughts off and on lately too. Overall, my instinct is that it is worth it and I am on the right path. However, there are many times when I feel so challenged and exhausted,...

  9. ADN nurse with Non Nursing Bachelors

    Everline replied to PedsNurse15's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    The University of Alabama has an RN to BSN/MSN program. I'm not sure what you mean by accelerated, so it might not fit what you are looking for. But you get awarded your BSN on the way to your MSN....

  10. Calling patients and/or co-workers "honey" or "hon"

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

    I'm fine with it in some circumstances. A bossy, younger co-worker would not be one of those circumstances. Having said that, if I were in that situation, I'd think about whether it was worth it to...

  11. Fundamentals instructor doesn't teach.

    Everline replied to Axmann, RN, BSN, NREMT-B's topic in General Students

    Welcome to nursing school. Sorry to say it, but get used to it and take control of your own learning. If I depended on the theory instructors to actually teach me, I'd have flunked out by now. There...

  12. Im so burned out

    Everline replied to palamino98's topic in General Students

    Oh, how I can

  13. Auscultating

    Everline replied to OwlieO.O's topic in General Students

    What do you mean no heart sounds? You mean you couldn't hear a heartbeat at all? Did you ask someone else to listen or to find his

  14. "Always pick the toughest patient"

    Everline replied to twss2323's topic in General Students

    We don't get to pick our patients. They are assigned to

  15. Pre-Nurse interested in MSN

    Everline replied to nursepve21's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You are becoming a nurse so you don't have to be a nurse? It looks like what you want is to be able to write prescriptions and you see becoming an NP as a faster/easier way to be able to do that as...

  16. Who supervises you during clinicals?

    Everline replied to calivianya's topic in General Students

    For my first two semesters, we were in a clinical group of about 8 students with one clinical instructor. We all stayed on the same floor and our clinical instructor had to be with us to give meds....

  17. Preceptorship?

    Everline replied to liltiger427's topic in General Students

    I am in a five semester program, the last semester being preceptorship. As others have already stated, we get paired up with an RN and work with him or her for a certain number of hours or shifts. I...

  18. Clinical instructor gives study guide to clinical group is this unfair

    Everline replied to chiasmus100's topic in General Students

    I understand where you are coming from. It is so easy to get caught up in things like that—things that seem unfair and seem to give other students an advantage. There is sometimes a competitiveness...

  19. Adult Health/Med Surg

    Everline replied to smoup's topic in General Students

    Correction: Adult health 1 is 16 weeks long. Adult health 2 and 3 are each 8 weeks long. It's interesting to see the variations between

  20. Adult Health/Med Surg

    Everline replied to smoup's topic in General Students

    We have adult health 1, 2 and 3. They are each 8 weeks

  21. Mistakes to avoid in clinicals..

    Everline replied to clarinets's topic in General Students

    Don't take it personally if you end up with a nurse who treats you like dog poop. It happens. Seriously. Sometimes people have a bad day...or two...or three. Don't let it discourage you. There will be...

  22. Getting "points back" on a test

    Everline replied to adnstudent44's topic in General Students

    As others have said here, we get points back based on stats of how many students got the question wrong. We are not allowed to debate the questions or get points back by showing where something is in...

  23. Instructor won't allow us to use our own calculator for math test?

    Everline replied to Axmann, RN, BSN, NREMT-B's topic in General Students

    We are not allowed to use our own calculators, no matter how basic. They have a bin of cheap calculators in the front of the class on test day and we can grab one to use for the test. I've never had a...

  24. Kicked out by half a point

    Everline replied to MAckles's topic in General Students

    That's a tough policy. Although there is a limit to retakes, we don't get kicked out of the nursing program for failing just one class. You can retake the course the next semester or whenever it is...

  25. Pregnant and nursing school?

    Everline replied to JNcCole15's topic in General Students

    One of my instructors tells the story of how she managed to have a baby in the middle of nursing school and graduate on time. Luck was with her as she happened to deliver during some spring or holiday...
