  1. What do you wear under scrubs?

    IThinkICan100 replied to granolatrees's topic in General Students

    I think it depends on the temperature and the look of the scrub. You can always just wear the scrub with no undershirt and, if you get cold, wear a scrub coat or a jacket (depending on dress code)....

  2. WHAT IS EVERNOTE?!

    IThinkICan100 replied to eyesopen_mouthshut's topic in General Students

    It's a note-taking and voice-recording cloud (stored online) platform. I use it for most of my classes because I can access my notes anywhere. I use the evernote app on my ipad (with a keyboard) and...

  3. Facebook: Should I Just Give in and Join?

    IThinkICan100 replied to ScientistSalarian's topic in General Students

    Oddly enough, I work for my university and the department that I'm in has a private facebook page for the workers to schedule hours/be in contact. Plus, I was fb friends with my employer way before I...

  4. Laptop or paper/pen notes in class?

    IThinkICan100 replied to Lollipops's topic in General Students

    I use my ipad with a wireless keyboard. I also use the Evernote app, which works wonders! I'm left-handed, so I write

  5. Why a Nurse?

    IThinkICan100 replied to Ant24's topic in Male Nursing Students

    1) I feel like God directed me into nursing. I originally wanted to go into medicine. I -instead- went to culinary school and landed a job as a nutritional aide in a hospital, working in the...

  6. Single mother, no support, nursing school

    IThinkICan100 replied to almostnurse25's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am not a parent, so I can't offer too much advice in that area. You probably already know this, but you need to apply for the FAFSA (free application for federal student aid). This will help the...

  7. What's the best book bag for Nursing School?

    IThinkICan100 replied to studentnurse92's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    ***Warning: Caveat**** All the ebooks that I've seen are barely cheaper than renting or even buying the hard-copy. I used to rent or use ebooks, but I now buy all my textbooks as used hard-copies. You...

  8. Help. To drop with a 'w' or tough it out?

    IThinkICan100 replied to SamanthaElizabeth's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I had a similar situation with my American History class. The professor loved to fail students, so I took the CLEP test and passed. The registrar just dropped the class for me took the whole class off...

  9. Don't you want to be an NP?

    IThinkICan100 replied to AnAppleGirl's topic in General Students

    My career goal is to finish nursing school and complete my DNP. Everyone asks me why I'm even bothering with nursing when I could go to medical school! I always explain that I love nursing and it...

  10. Anyone else's local hospitals doing this?

    IThinkICan100 replied to Idiosyncratic's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've never seen it in my area (Oklahoma/Kansas). I live in a small-ish town on the northern outskirts of the Tulsa metro. All of the BSN new grads I know in Oklahoma move to Tulsa or Oklahoma City to...

  11. Working while in school

    IThinkICan100 replied to C3rvacles's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think part of it depends on your job. I haven't started nursing school yet, but freshman year I worked and went to school. I worked about 18-20 hours/week in a hospital as a dietetic aide, while...

  12. Confused about what is the best thing to do

    IThinkICan100 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    ---I apologize in advance for the long post!!!--- I go to a smaller private university, which has a great nursing program, in my home town. Their program is rather odd being that for the traditional...

  13. Working and nursing school?

    IThinkICan100 replied to niikkayx's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My first semester I worked 15-20 hours a week. 12 of those hours was working double shifts on Sunday, so that I wouldn't have to work as much during the week. That got to be way too much time for me...

  14. Im a male and want to be a nurse

    IThinkICan100 replied to Smith5's topic in Men in Nursing

    I am in college working on my BSN right now. Afterwards, I plan to finish up my prereqs for medical school. Although, if I decide not to do the prereqs or just decide to go to medical school, I will...

  15. Discrimination of Men as nurses?

    IThinkICan100 replied to bonestAx's topic in Men in Nursing

    I am currently a nursing student, but I worked in a hospital as a dietetic aide (I would also help with rudimentary patient care.) I was stationed on Tele and Rehab. Most of my patients were elderly...

  16. A&P I and Microbiology at the same time?

    IThinkICan100 replied to middle's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yeah, no... Don't do it! A&P should be easy, but Micro is going to kick your butt. I barely passed Chem and everyone is telling me Micro is just as hard, if not harder. We'll see... I start Micro...

  17. Starting nursing Pre-reqs

    IThinkICan100 replied to RNbygrace's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Keep your calm! It seems like school is endless, but there is an end somewhere - I'm looking for it,

  18. Getting into a decent nursing school

    IThinkICan100 replied to armaankh's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It depends on the nursing school. Of course, there is always going to be that bias on whether or not you attended a university over a community college. I wouldn't worry about getting into a...

  19. C in Chemistry?!?!?!?

    IThinkICan100 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I really tried my hardest in my class. I got an A in my first quarter, but my professor became twice as difficult the second semester, which made my final grade a 76% ©. It's really frustrating...

  20. LPN (Later LPN to RN) or Straight to BSN?

    IThinkICan100 posted a topic in General Students

    So I originally posted about LPN school earlier in another post, but some things have changed. I'm a dietary aide at a hospital (I get to work on floor in ER, CCU, Main Floors, OB/GYN, etc.) and my...

  21. LPN Bridge or Straight to RN

    IThinkICan100 posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Hello, guys! I'm Colby and I'm a prospective nursing student. I am a male and I work in a hospital as dietary aid, which allows me to be on floor with the patients, nurses, and physicians. I'm...

  22. LPN Bridge or Straight to RN

    IThinkICan100 replied to IThinkICan100's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    @HazelLPN: Yeah, I plan to get my BSN immediately, but it would just be in steps. I would love to go to a community college for cheap, but I live a hour away from the closest biggest city with good...

  23. This has been bothering me...

    IThinkICan100 replied to tss2507's topic in Men in Nursing

    All of the male nurses at my hospital work in Rehab with elderly patients. The main hospital floors are all females. I must say that our male physicians/MDs creep me out and scare me more than our...
