  1. Helping a classmate

    TheAmazingMrsA posted a topic in General Students

    I'm in my second quarter of nursing school, and doing way better than I ever imagined. Today we had our third test of the quarter, which is considered the hardest test thus far, and I came out of it...

  2. Helping a classmate

    TheAmazingMrsA replied to TheAmazingMrsA's topic in General Students

    You know what, I give up. I left allnurses a while ago because everyone was so negative, and I'm beginning to realize that coming back was a mistake. My classmate is my friend. She was my friend...

  3. Papers

    TheAmazingMrsA replied to Happy_RN123's topic in General Students

    Does your school have an English/Writing center? A lot of schools offer drop in help with writing papers and research. If that's not an option, find out who in your class is good at papers and have...

  4. Looking back I'd wish I'd know......

    TheAmazingMrsA replied to stewartfamily2010's topic in General Students

    I wish I had known that first quarter isn't nearly as scary or as hard as they lead you to believe. My first quarter was so hyped up that I nearly had a panic attack before my first exam. When I...

  5. Losing my mind with clinical paper expectations

    TheAmazingMrsA posted a topic in General Students

    I'm a rule follower. I check and double check instructions and make sure my papers conform to whatever it is the instructors want from us. However, it seems that ambiguity is a rule when it comes to...

  6. Role Plays - Need some help thinking a few up

    TheAmazingMrsA posted a topic in General Students

    I have to come up with role plays on advocacy for a communication class. I have a few, but I'm running short on ideas. I've Googled as many as I can, but I need nursing related ones. I just need...

  7. Please help!! nursing significance of abnormal chest xray

    TheAmazingMrsA replied to rowens's topic in General Students

    Not sure what you're asking for with "nursing significance". Are you looking for nursing diagnoses to go with COPD, because you just need to look up NANDA diagnoses if that's what you're looking

  8. Losing my mind with clinical paper expectations

    TheAmazingMrsA replied to TheAmazingMrsA's topic in General Students

    hodgieRN, I appreciate the comment, but in my case it's not a scholarly paper. It's a clinical paper used to document our assigned residents. Which means, I cannot share it with anyone but the...

  9. Heads up to all nursing students, from recent grad.....

    TheAmazingMrsA replied to lilarox's topic in General Students

    I don't mean to be rude, but do we seriously need another thread about how we're all screwed for jobs? The program I'm in has excellent job prospects, with almost all of the current graduating class...

  10. Livescribe Pen: To Buy or Not to Buy

    TheAmazingMrsA replied to bdicenzo's topic in General Students

    Before you buy make 100% sure you can record lectures. My school allows recording EXCEPT for the nursing program. In all of my nursing classes recording buys you a one way ticket out of the program....

  11. Is your Facility 'forcing' you to get the Flu Vaccine?

    TheAmazingMrsA replied to madwife2002's topic in Disaster Preparation

    This is one of those arguments that will never end and will always have people on both sides of the fence. I'm still in NS, and was required to get the flu vaccine to even participate in a clinical...

  12. Cleaning Watch for Clinical

    TheAmazingMrsA posted a topic in General Students

    I've quickly becoming a germaphobic after listening to all the rationale about why you should never wear your scrubs out of a clinical setting, ever wear nail polish, or even rings during patient...

  13. What kind Stethoscope I buy???

    TheAmazingMrsA replied to akilah530's topic in General Students

    I splurged and got a cardiac one and the sound quality is phenomenal. If you can spare the extra cash, it's totally worth

  14. Wheeled backpack

    TheAmazingMrsA replied to ko115's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Ko115... wasn't trying to be rude by my comment. However, from the perspective of someone who reads the forum every day... there were literally four threads going at once about rolling backpacks; it...

  15. Favorite Words

    TheAmazingMrsA replied to Aimee2013's topic in General Students

    Okay, it's not my favorite word... but a little girl I used to nanny came down with rubella and she thought it was the most beautiful word ever. She keeps saying she wants to name her future daughter...

  16. Wheeled backpack

    TheAmazingMrsA replied to ko115's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    There are two other threads going right now about this exact same issue. You may want to check those out before starting another thread about the same

  17. Major anxiety over first clinical

    TheAmazingMrsA replied to java12's topic in General Students

    If bed baths are your biggest fear, then you'll be fine. Though I haven't even started my clinicals, I am well versed from CNA clinicals in a LTC facility. I was pretty freaked out my first day, but...

  18. Do you make friends with others in your nursing program?

    TheAmazingMrsA replied to EP10's topic in General Students

    I completely understand how you feel. Though I haven't started NS yet (schools in my area start late September), I went through most of pre-req's being the oldest student at only 30 years old. It...

  19. The rolling backpack debate

    TheAmazingMrsA replied to winterlights08's topic in General Students

    Normally I wouldn't weigh in on something like this, because the health of your back trumps fashion any day. However, I have a huge reason for being 100% against rolling bags. My school is arranged...

  20. NCLEX Books - Which one worked for you?

    TheAmazingMrsA replied to TheAmazingMrsA's topic in General Students

    Thank you everyone for weighing in with your opinions. It seems that Kaplan and Saunders are the most popular, so I'll make sure to check those ones out first. And thank you GrnTea for the advice......

  21. NCLEX Books - Which one worked for you?

    TheAmazingMrsA posted a topic in General Students

    I've been looking into getting a NCLEX book to use when I start NS this Fall. However, while searching through Amazon I realized there are a million of them, each by a different publisher. Does...

  22. What time do you start clinical?

    TheAmazingMrsA replied to SBJustBreathe's topic in General Students

    Mine are 0600-1030 Monday and Tuesdays starting the third week of classes. Not really looking forward to it, as I'll have to be up at 0430 just to make it there on time. I'll be needing a coffee...

  23. Uniforms

    TheAmazingMrsA replied to Crazed's topic in General Students

    I'm surprised so many of the programs require full white uniforms. Besides seeming dated, one false move in the lab and you'll have to replace your scrubs. My school requires royal blue scrubs with...

  24. Refusing the Influenza Vaccine

    TheAmazingMrsA posted a topic in General Students

    This may have already been talked about... so I apologize. I tried searching for a similar thread, but couldn't find one. I received my acceptance letter yesterday, with a date of June 1st to...
