  3. WILTW 7/27

    It is entirely possible for me to sit down and eat half a bag of reeses peanut butter cups by my lonesome. Also known as "stress eating" I CAN rock 2 exams the day before 12 hr clinical...and still rock it in clinical. Although I'm willing to jump in...
  4. Feeling a bit unfairly graded by my new clinical instructor. First, My ORIGINAL clinical instructor had a situation that caused her to leave through the middle of the semester. I was given to a second instructor for the first half of the semester, an...
  5. My BF and I have been together for 2 years. Weathered some things..a miscarriage, temporary loss of a job due to an injury, a death of a family member. We love each other, plain and simple. He always knew I wanted to attend NS, but now that I've bee...

  7. Help Help

    ordered: 0.6g have: 500mg/5mL (1)convert g to mg 600g x 1000mg/1g= 600mg (2) (required dose x stock volume)/stock dose x stock volume, so: (600mgx 5mL)/500mg = 6mL
  8. Nursing Schools are so stupid...

    Putting your obvious anger at being rejected, look at the hard facts. Grade inflation has made it necessary to weed out those who truly KNOW the basics in more of a way than memorizing it in chunks to get through the test only to forget it later on. ...
  9. Nassau Community College Nursing

    Has anyone had any luck getting into the program if they had to take remedial math? I never took an algebra class in my life (I have a GED and SAT scores), so I didn't do great on the entrance exam. When I took the class I never scored anything lower...
  10. Why isn't anyone hiring in PA?

    Have you tried temp agencies?
  11. Moravian Bachelors Program

    Hi all, So haven't heard Much about Moravian's bachelor program. I would be transferring in with 24 credits. Can anyone give me their experience as far as the difficulty in clinixals? What does a typical week look like with class/clinical? How do you...
  12. Hello, I have been accepted on a bachelors course here in the US for nursing, but would like to know if anyone has any information on whether or not if I marry my UK boyfriend now instead of after my program, would I be able to study nursing in the U...
  13. I hope I'm lucky enough to get an entire arsenal of preceptors like you..this is exactly how I learn and I feel it should be even MORE so like this because of what is at risk!
  14. The Patient Who Receives No Visits

    I know the feeling..I was once in the hospital for over a week, with family that I regularly talked to, who couldn't be bothered to drive the 20 min to the hospital to see how I was. You know it's a sad state when the only people to come see you are...
  15. Tattoos/Piercings in the workplace?

    I'm curious as to why some people seem to think individuals with tattoos/piercings go against the rules? It just seems like a stereotype to me, honestly. I know many people with tattoos who follow the "rules". I also know of a woman who is 58 years o...
  16. studying nursing if US citizen married to british citizen?

    Thanks for the info I have been wondering what obstacles UK nurses workinghere
  17. studying nursing if US citizen married to british citizen?

    I didn't know that tidbit; UK doesn't require a test like NCLEX? I guess they make up for it with so many clinical hours though. I would prefer to go on for my BSN; and from what I've noticed as far as researching jobs most are requiring or prefer a ...
  18. studying nursing if US citizen married to british citizen?

    BabyRN, thank you for the info! I wouldn't want to come back to the states to work which is why I was curious if anyone had done it. Redhead, i just did some research and there are a select few universities that allow non-eu students into their prog...
  19. I'm always curious as to why people choose their careers, and what made them go into their field. I also think it's a good way to stay motivated if you remember why you're working to get somewhere. So when did you decide nursing was for you? Personal...
  20. Haha edmia thanks! I didn't even realize I'd wrote that. That's what I get for typing I out on my phone!
  21. I've been accepted!

    Haha most of the time your're at a medium pace canter :) it is only when you breeze that you'll get into a full gallop. If you ever get the chance to get on a really easy one I'd say go for it; best adrenaline rush ever!
  22. I've been accepted!

    I'm so excites; the first thing I did was jump on my couch. Forgiving my 5 year old ways, it's been a bit of journey between when I was finally able to get my GED in 2010, start my general courses in 2012, and now to be accepted into a bachelors prog...
  23. I've been accepted!

    Lori, I gallop racehorses yes! I tried the jockey route one summer but it wasn't for me so I stuck with bringing along babies and older horses. I have since I was 18 but a good few broken bones later and change in long term priorities made me want a ...
  24. We're starting the digestive system and I was wondering how you guys organized your notes? I find the larger concepts easy to understand, it's just remembering all of the small details like specific enyzmes and such. My professor is very big on picki...
  25. organizing notes for digestive system?
