    ShaynaSmart posted a topic in General Students

    Hello, all! I'm a 4th semester in an ADN program. My school just initiated what they are calling "March Madness" for all of the nursing students, except 1st semester. It allows them to make sure we...

  3. Drug Cards are Lame!!

    ShaynaSmart replied to Despareux's topic in General Students

    I feel your disdain for drug cards! I type write them, then type them and I don't retain any of the information until I read them over on my

  4. Does anybody know anybody that has been pregnant in nursing program?

    ShaynaSmart replied to Mchs4735's topic in General Students

    One of my classmates just announced her pregnancy a month ago. Very fitting, since we are in our OB/PEDS section! She has every intention of finishing and she also plans on becoming a NP

  5. I've wasted my spring break!

    ShaynaSmart replied to rubato's topic in General Students

    Basically, I told myself that during Spring Break, I would say, "What nursing school?" I was fortunate to not have any big papers/assignments/reading to do over break, so it has worked out pretty...

  11. How in debt were you after Nursing school?

    ShaynaSmart replied to lilwonder's topic in General Students

    I'm starting to get worried about that. I'll be graduating in August with my ADN and I basically just signed for my loans because at the time, I didn't have another option, no money saved up, no...

    ShaynaSmart posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

  15. Feeling really down in the dumps and friend-less in nursing school...advice needed

    ShaynaSmart replied to willow298's topic in General Students

    I feel the exact same way! I was never any good at making friends when I was a kid, and I don't know how to do it properly as an adult! In response to the original post, I was feeling the exact same...

    ShaynaSmart replied to francoml's topic in General Students

    I can't wait for that month off! I'm going to work a lot to make up for the time I was in school, but hopefully unwind and prepare myself for OB/Peds next semester! Only 2 more to

  18. Working the holidays to get away from family...

    ShaynaSmart replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    It's hard to make some people realize that you might not be able to spend Christmas with them, but you are more than willing to have an early or later Christmas. After all, it's not the DAY that you...

  19. Balance

    ShaynaSmart replied to #Nurse_Flow's topic in General Students

    I feel the same way. If I get into an argument at home, I can't concentrate on homework. Everything relates to one another and it's important to take care of everything going on in your life. Balance...

  20. Anyone here who hate the holidays?

    ShaynaSmart replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    Just as I'm reading through all these posts, that *stupid* radio shack commercial came on, the one with the little girl screaming about a new phone. Last year, all I asked for was a visit home to...

    ShaynaSmart replied to Guttercat's topic in Medical-Surgical

    My class had a very good experience last semester and I would consider a med/surg position after I graduate, just so I can be exposed to everything I can get my hands on! Those ladies and gentlemen...

  23. Uniforms

    ShaynaSmart replied to Crazed's topic in General Students

    Ours are white, which at first made me self-conscious, but then I stopped caring. The tops are soft, but they aren't fitted and sometimes it feels like I'm wearing a tent! I can't wait to be able to...

  24. What will you do after you graduate and take NCLEX?

    ShaynaSmart replied to EarthhAngel2013's topic in General Students

    Breathe. : ) My mom for sure is coming down from Michigan to watch my pinning ceremony, so my love and I will probably take her to a fancy dinner and take her to see the

  25. When do you find time to work out?

    ShaynaSmart replied to emcadams's topic in General Students

    I started Insanity during the break between 1st and 2nd semesters. It was easier to stick with it when I already made a habit of it. I do it in the mornings to get it out of the way and I know that I...
