  1. Fundamentals/basic nursing practicum 1

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

    Congrats! I dunno. I hear things that Fundamentals is a walk in the park, and then I hear others say its gawd awful. What I hear the most from my school is that Med-Surg I is the worst. So, I'm...

  2. What time do you start clinical?

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

    7 a.m. Which probably means I should be there at 6:30 a.m. :zzzzz I won't start clinicals until 3 weeks after school

  3. Officially a "nursing" student..?!

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

  4. Starting in the fall

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

    Do the best you can in your pre-reqs, especially the science ones. Ask for help if you feel you are starting to drown in your classes, the sooner the better. Really try to enjoy what you are...

  5. Worst night ever

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

    I just wanna give you a :hug: You did the best you could considering your circumstance. Give yourself so credit and not be so hard on yourself. I'm sure you are a great nurse. Good job and keep...

  6. Never placed an IV!!!!!

    ♑ Capricorn ♑ replied to LoriZ342's topic in General Nursing

    Wow! Really Lori? I can't imagine going through school and not doing IVs or phlebotomy on anyone. Why did you not learn this in

  7. Found out schedule for ADN Program Fall 2012!!

    ♑ Capricorn ♑ replied to dsf43's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I envy you guys with your days off during the week. Must be nice! My fundamentals is 10 cr., Monday-Friday, and pretty much 8-3 p.m. I have about 2-3 days of lecture, 1 lab day, and 1 clinical day....

  8. Orientation day!

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

    That's wonderful. I'm happy you had a good experience. We didn't have any seniors at my pre-orientation meeting, and I wish we did. It would've been nice to get their perspective on things. It...

  9. I'm Going to Scream!

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

    Haha. I feel the same way in movie theaters when I'm opening candy with noisy wrappers. If I can, I'll do it before the movie starts and the lights are still on. But, if I forget, then its real hard...

  10. Starting 4th semester this Fall..

    ♑ Capricorn ♑ replied to AdiaA24's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Give it all you got and ignore the negative. You're almost there! If you were able to take their horror stories up to this point, one more semester shouldn't even phase you. You're worth more than...

  11. How to get started in nursing as fast as possible

    ♑ Capricorn ♑ replied to khlts6's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Nope! Online and nursing do not = go. Unless, if you're already an RN. I agree with the others

  12. Wise to purchase an old edition?

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

    Textbooks, yes. Newest = best. Medical terminology, eh. Whatever you kind get really. I don't 4 years will make a huge difference. Stuff like that doesn't

  13. Is an iPad beneficial?

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

    It is. If you don't get it now chances are you'll be getting it later. If you get it later, you'll be missing out on all that it could do for you and school. If you get it now, you'll enjoy it and...

  14. Hep B Titer "negative"

    ♑ Capricorn ♑ replied to Krista1994's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'd say that your 2009 series was proof enough that it was

  15. Preparing for the Entrance Exam

    ♑ Capricorn ♑ replied to Ashleym9831's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What test is

  16. Seriously studying for the NCLEX...

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

    I say, he isn't studying hard enough. Two papers and a computer? No books? What??? Cute

  17. Accredited or not Accredited ?

    ♑ Capricorn ♑ replied to pat8585's topic in General Students

    Yep, its important. I wouldn't want to attend one that wasn't. Before I even applied to my school, I made sure to check it out thoroughly. I can't imagine someone spending so much money on an...

  18. This may sound silly but...

    ♑ Capricorn ♑ replied to 2bNurseCai's topic in General Students

    I agree with many here. Be yourself. Participate in class. Don't just sit there and just listen. Volunteer to say and do things when its offered. You'll want the instructor(s) to remember you without...

  19. Stethoscope for fall 2012

    ♑ Capricorn ♑ replied to Mrs.Priss's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Me too. A cheap, double tubed, black, Sprague. Definitely not the best, but it'll do. My class was highly discouraged from buying anything too fancy or expensive, for school. Ours have to be...

  20. How to Cover Wrist Tattoo?

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

    Watch gauze pad and tape bandaid water-resistant makeup (YouTube search for a video on tat concealing) dreaded long sleeve shirt or jacket The only thing I'd worry about most is the constant washing...

  21. I'm Going to Scream!

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

    I personally need some kind of background noise, whether its TV or music on low. If its dead quiet, I get distracted. If it is too noisy, I get distracted. No win situation. I would've told the...

  22. How's nursing school so far

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

    I hope to be and stay as focused as you are. It is one thing to get into a program and another thing to stay in it. When I had my orientation last month, they reminded us almost insisting that if we...

  23. RN tried to talk me out of Nursing school...

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

    I'd rather hear a simple "good luck" and it being said genuinely. Than, someone smirking in my face and then laughing, yeah it has happened. Also, it depends on who I am talking to and what kind of a...

  24. ITT Tech?

    ♑ Capricorn ♑ replied to MA_Davis's topic in School, College Programs

    I'm not tooting my own horn here, but I am so glad I am at the school I am at. No offense to ITT or any for-profit school, but I'd never attend them. Thank you for sharing your ITT experience.

  25. Orientation day!

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