  1. question...

    libby11 replied to sbem10's topic in General Students

    Following a bath, especially if its a bed bath! Get is permanently stuck in your head that clean touches clean, dirty touches dirty. Dirty NEVER touches clean, or clean is no longer

  2. Do you keep your personal life private while in nursing school?

    libby11 replied to Kadambari's topic in General Students

    Nursing school is rough and it almost always impacts your life outside of nursing schools (and often negatively). It's everyone's choice to share or not to share. I like to tell bits and pieces here...

  3. Yay! I passed hand-washing!

    libby11 replied to edatri's topic in General Students

    Lol. We all giggled and some complained and scoffed at hand-washing, but yes, it is nice to get that first skills check off. It makes it feel the tiniest bit real that you're really doing it. Just...

  4. ATI Pharmacology Exam....

    libby11 replied to Katie71275's topic in General Students

    My school gave us Practice Exam codes for ATI, a User ID and PW for 2 practice

  5. Pharm test

    libby11 replied to future2012nurse's topic in General Students

    It's cool. So many students in my pharm class struggled. I did okay on the first test, but was mortified when I got the results from the second test. So for you... you can only go up! Now you know...

  6. Wheeled backpack

    libby11 replied to ko115's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I too am super indecisive, so I feel for you. I think that bag might be too big, but I suppose I guess it depends on your campus style and how many classes you are taking. I don't bring my books to...

  7. How hard is it taking physiology & pharmacology class the same semester?

    libby11 replied to whatevaittakes's topic in General Students

    I've always been a strong student (I mean as far as the books & tests go). I took pathophysiology and pharm together during the same (somewhat abbreviated) summer semester. I thought those two...

  8. Weight gain?

    libby11 replied to hawksrn2014's topic in General Students

    I have managed to keep off the 20lbs. I lost +/- 5 lbs. I always have to tell myself that the extra 5lbs. is okay. I do try to do 'fitness stuffs' for fun with friends when we can: walk along the...

  9. Watch question..

    libby11 replied to Scrubs_girl's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    In my opinion, you learn military time so fast, that it won't make a difference if you watch is in regular. Just make sure it has a seconds hand Oh yes, and when you're picking out a watch, think to...

  10. I just can't find a job.

    libby11 replied to SugarSugar15's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Wow. This came as a surprise to me. I thought there were a wealth of RN jobs in Florida--due to the older population. Oh yes, and best of luck to you! I know I've been trying to get my first CNA job...

  11. CNA with no 'real' experience

    libby11 replied to libby11's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Thanks for the insight. My resume is currently a bit scattered as far as work experience: Cashier, Chemical Lab Analyst, Professional Cleaner, Banking & IT. As far as experience, I hope to speak...

  12. CNA with no 'real' experience

    libby11 posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Hi everyone! I earned my CNA certification about a year ago; I applied to a few jobs, but received few replies. Most of the replies I did receive were from companies that didn't offer benefits or had...

  13. The New Face of Healthcare

    libby11 replied to Joe V's topic in Nurses Rock

    I also try really hard and I've been getting B's. The problem is not getting a C. The problem is chanting "Cs earn degrees!" and then using it as a reason they didn't study/left early to watch the...

  14. I lol at the stud who quit because he had to empty a bedpan...

    libby11 replied to tenjuna's topic in Male Nursing Students

    LOL @ thank you nursing gods. During the summer semester I found myself SOOO frustrated with some of the ladies in my classes (who all have 3 full semesters left) talking about their CNA jobs. They...

  15. Comparing A Nurses' Salary

    libby11 replied to Joe V's topic in Nurses Rock

    I did not compare a CNA to a nurse, I simply said it was interesting that they had to take a practical. To compare is to note similarity, of which I made no comments. I also did NOT say that an ADN...

  16. Nurses Calling Patients "Jerks"

    libby11 replied to PacoUSA's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The professional nurse does not describe a patient as a jerk at the nurses' station... but it can be done at the bar after work without stating name &/or identifying characteristics. IMO. Also......

  17. The New Face of Healthcare

    libby11 replied to Joe V's topic in Nurses Rock

    I think GEN Y is going to drive nursing wages down, unless they shape up! GEN Y thinks you buy a degree, instead of earn it; they chant 'C's earn degrees!' GEN Y cries and throws a fit at the nursing...

  18. Comparing A Nurses' Salary

    libby11 replied to Joe V's topic in Nurses Rock

    This discussion board has some excellent points & a bit of unnecessary squabbling in my opinion... I think it is interesting that a CNA must complete both a written and practical/clinical type...

  19. Maybe you feel/felt the same? Worried about 'getting it'

    libby11 posted a topic in General Students

    I am working on my ADN. So far I've taken most of the basic sciences, intro. to nursing, and my fundamentals class. Right now I'm working on Patho and Pharm. As a note, it's been years since I've had...

  20. Maybe you feel/felt the same? Worried about 'getting it'

    libby11 replied to libby11's topic in General Students

    Typically, I read the notes/text for a particular topic. Then I put everything away and write down everything I remember and describe the key processes, systems involved, mechanisms, chemicals, etc....

  21. Interested in chemical dep.nursing

    libby11 replied to ivorylovecali's topic in Addictions

    I have been on the APNA site, and browsed the internet for info. on this topic. It's kind of confusing, specifically this: on the APNA site, they have an FAQ and one question is "How can I become a...

  22. Im 24 and I want to be a nurse badly but my age discourages me!

    libby11 replied to M.C.P's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I understand what you're saying. I have gotten down on myself before for 'failure' or not being the best I can be. We all make mistakes, we all have hangups. They make us stronger. Those girls (and...

  23. What is the first thing you are going to buy once you are a nurse?

    libby11 replied to Living4Peace's topic in Male Nursing Students

    A house is a great idea, if you are pretty sure about the area you'd like to spend the next 5-10 (or more) years in! For me, I will spend a good chunk of my paycheck on loans & savings. My first...

  24. Help! NEED STETHOSCOPE ASAP!

    libby11 replied to EbonyQueen's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I've been reading quite a bit about stethoscopes. It seems that a good majority of RNs will recommend the Littmann Classic II for nursing students. Would anyone reccommend the Littmann Lightweight?...

  25. Medical Abbreviations - Letter 'p' w/line over

    libby11 posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    It is simply the lowercase letter "p" The directions say to add a line over the top of this one. I have browsed some online resources and Mosby's Dictionary of Medicine, Nursing, & Health...
