♑ Capricorn ♑

So... I got up at 0500 this morning, in good spirits and ready to begin a new week. My second week of nursing school. I hopped out of bed and headed downstairs to start the coffee and toast, plus feed my pets. Went back upstairs and ate my breakfast ...

I have stopped worrying about this issue about 10 years ago. I don't care what people think about me. I am an introvert, always have been and always will be. I am happy with my internal-self and embrace it. There is no one else like me and for tha...

Speak up! Without sounding totally insensitive here because that is not my intention, but do what is best for you and try not to let what others think affect you. They may all have the same questions you do and are too afraid to say something. If y...

Select ALL that apply. a. sleep ✓ b. showers c. dishes ✓ d. date nights ✓ e. exercise ✓ f. sanity ✓ Not bad. 5 out of 6 apply. Do I get a cookie? I will have several of these types of questions on my first major exam in about a week.

Would plastic/cosmetic surgery fall under this too? I know some plastic surgeons (in my area at least) have their own day surgery centers. Also, is it common for new grads to get hired at these day surgery places or are they better off starting in a...

Tired, moody, brain-fried. Did I mention tired?

White ones.

I like my classmates. Everyone is nice and friendly and helpful, they are great. They really are. :) But, I am not too trusting right now. It is still too soon, and still too early for me to get personal. My class has 40+ students right now and...

Graduation. That's my motivation.

Troll much

^ what Rainbow said. I heard plenty of this on the first day. I'm not letting it phase me. Don't let it phase you either! You gotta do, what you gotta do.

I start school in two days. And, honestly, I am not as scared as I thought I would be. I am totally fine and calm. I feel very well informed of what to expect this coming week. Is this normal? I like my instructors, my classmates are great, I feel pr...

I bought a roller! I have a favorite bag which has served me well for many classes, but it just can't hold up to my needs. I put all the things I needed to put in it for the first day of class, and almost broke my shoulder and my bag! Yeah.... S...

^^ most definitely.

My day in the life will entail this: MY FIRST DAY - 9/4/2012 0500 - Wake up - Hit the snooze button once, click on the TV and watch for 15 minutes as I force my eyes open to wake myself up before slugging out of bed. No, I am NOT a morning person!...

I'm happy for you OP. You only get ONE first day, ONE! And, then it is gone. You made the best of it and went in with a positive attitude. Good for you. I must admit that I don't have the best attitude all the time, but would say I do at least 90...

I am so excited! :w00t::yelclap: I had orientation this week, actually Monday, and it went really, really well. The students were friendly and enthusiastic. The instructors were positive and motivating. The whole vibe of the school set a very positi...

I am with you on this. I am not a L&D, OB, peds etc type of gal either. I don't have kids and don't want kids either. Not my cup of tea. I am not interested in LTC either but I certainly love elderly people and caring for them. If a person know...

15-20 minutes give or take.

I'd say you're on the right track. Its obvious you are determined to get it done, so get it done. Don't focus on what was, but focus on what is in the present. :)

I bet that is what SHE said, too! lol

I hope its not my reality. Personally, I want to do the best that I can. If it is a C, so be it. But, it is not my intention to strive for a C.

I don't know yet. I know what I want to do NOW but at graduation that could change. So for now, I will say: OR, PACU, Oncology. I'm NOT interested in L&D, OB, maternity, or Peds whatsoever! Not my cup of tea. :barf01: So, if I end up liking ...

Not trying to be an insensitive b@#$% here, but maybe its for the best. Something just does not add up to me here. Anyone here knows that anyone who is seriously attending nursing school that your conduct and behavior both in and out of school can ...

Gonna keep mine short and sweet. Alot of good ones have already been mentioned. My ultimate one piece of advice is to stay positive.
