  1. My first year in nursing school and my first grandchild!

    ♑ Capricorn ♑ replied to SC4Nurse2B's topic in General Students

    Congratulations to you

  2. Death

    ♑ Capricorn ♑ replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I say, don't allow yourself to get to that place where it will affect you. Learn to detach yourself or it will get to

  3. Nicotine testing question

    ♑ Capricorn ♑ replied to nursing81student's topic in General Nursing

    30 days?? I always had the impression that it was more like 3 days, 72 hours to be exact. That is for nicotine and all of its by-products to be eliminated from the

  4. Nurse practitioner or do

    ♑ Capricorn ♑ replied to taytay05's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Personally, skip nursing school...go be a doc. You won't be satisfied knowing that the grass is always greener in doing something

  5. Advice on my schedule?

    ♑ Capricorn ♑ replied to Lizardkixx's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yep, I think its fine. If it wasn't anatomy and chemistry, it could be physiology and micro or something worse. Only yourself can be the judge of how well you will

  6. Dealing with death as a student in clinicals?

    ♑ Capricorn ♑ replied to CRNBSN18's topic in General Students

    Other than finding death a sad thing, why are we afraid of it? Why do we allow ourselves to get that close and personal with patients who have died that it affects us personally, emotionally and our...

    ♑ Capricorn ♑ replied to firewifeRN's topic in General Students

  8. First nursing class in the Fall.

    ♑ Capricorn ♑ replied to sbem10's topic in General Students

    Reading is the easy part. Its remembering everything you've read which is the tough part. Good luck to

    Are you sure he needs

  10. sleep

    ♑ Capricorn ♑ replied to JonB04's topic in General Students

    No and no. I forsee, both with be

  11. Oh boy, what was she thinking?!

    ♑ Capricorn ♑ replied to uRNmyway's topic in General Nursing

    Why are getting offended? This isn't about you. This had nothing to do with you. If this isn't "flaming" then I don't know

  12. Am I right for nursing?

    ♑ Capricorn ♑ replied to Mommy2010's topic in General Students

    I couldn't really say, honestly. Its really a personal decision. Our input is only opinion, and yet, you want us to influence your decision. Think long and hard about what you want and weigh the...

  13. Am I going to be able to do the same things with an ADN that a 4 year RN does?

    ♑ Capricorn ♑ replied to rowdysmomma's topic in General Students

    Diploma-RNs too. All three paths = RN. Same test, same role, same scope of practice. Don't want to leave out those

  14. Is being a nursing student actually fun?

    ♑ Capricorn ♑ replied to Dezy's topic in General Students

    What is your definition of fun? What is fun for me may not be fun for you. I can only assume at this point that I will have fun in nursing

  15. Power Foods

    ♑ Capricorn ♑ replied to SC4Nurse2B's topic in Health, Stress Management

    For snacking, I really enjoy yogurt and fruit and sometimes a smoothie. Trail mix or mixed nuts are really good too. Also, water. I normally have 3-4 bottles of water on my desk at any given time. I...

  16. Fundamentals/basic nursing practicum 1

    ♑ Capricorn ♑ replied to CRNBSN18's topic in General Students

    Me too. I'll be using Wilkinson for Fundamentals. I haven't heard of or used Potter but from what I can see of the reviews, it doesn't look good. Lets hope your instructors change their

  17. Confidence in clinicals

    ♑ Capricorn ♑ replied to Katniss88's topic in General Students

    I think its only natural to feel the way you are feeling. As students, we don't know everything yet and instructors do know this. Just keep doing what you're doing and get through it. Maybe instead...

  18. Volunteering at a hospital worth it?

    ♑ Capricorn ♑ replied to samrusrn's topic in General Students

    Ask to get transferred to another area, like med-surg. Float around the hospital if you can that way you can experience many different areas. Its not like, you are working there and stuck to one...

  19. Do you wear rings?

    ♑ Capricorn ♑ replied to SBJustBreathe's topic in General Students

    Wedding band may be ok, but I do not think an engagement ring would be ok. I agree, wear it around your neck or leave it at

  20. Med Surg: What Works For You?

    ♑ Capricorn ♑ replied to maccheese's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Well said. I'm curious about Med-Surg too. I am by no means nowhere near it yet, but I will be. I'll be starting my fundamentals this September. I am guessing that this type of info could be applied...

  21. The Benefits And Drawbacks Of Private For-Profit Schools

    ♑ Capricorn ♑ replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Students

    Sticky!!! Sticky

  22. What to Expect The First Semester??!!??

    ♑ Capricorn ♑ replied to DisneyNurseGal's topic in General Students

    First, congrats. I have no idea what these classes would entail. If you have a school handbook, look at that. Look for course descriptions in your handbook or ask someone at your school. I can't...

  23. Anatomy Refresher?

    ♑ Capricorn ♑ replied to laski's topic in General Students

    I personally wouldn't do it, so no. If you still have your books and notes from your previous class, study and read those. There are plenty of books on amazon that you can purchase that are review and...

  24. Summer Nursing School Choices

    ♑ Capricorn ♑ replied to eta15's topic in General Students

    I say go for it. If you're given the opportunity to do that, why wouldn't you take it? You will be taking general education classes still, yes? I wouldn't worry too much about the CNA/tech unless if...

  25. Employment Opportunities

    ♑ Capricorn ♑ replied to Dauntless's topic in General Students

    I'd say its probably no different than trying to get into Law school or Med school, its just as competitive. Your school should give you all the information you need to apply to the school. Ask them...
