    How to dress for CNE class

    rubato posted a topic in General Nursing

    I have never been to a CNE class before and was just wondering if I should wear scrubs or business casual? It is the End of Life Education Consortium, if that makes any difference.

    Technology Advice for Nursing School

    rubato replied to goldeeloks23's topic in General Students

    I have a laptop, but rarely bring it to class. I am old fashioned and print off the powerpoints and write notes on them. I would love a Macbook, but am unwilling to spend the money. I just don't use...

    rubato replied to tammy1974's topic in General Students

    Put in my first IV Tuesday. Got it on the first try. And, had an amazing preceptor who taught me so much. Then, yesterday I got certified in ELNEC (end of life care). Can't wait to become a hospice...

    How to dress for CNE class

    rubato replied to rubato's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks. That's what I thought but just wanted to make sure that I wouldn't be overdressed if I showed up in a blouse and slacks. I'm a student, so not coming from work.

    rubato replied to tammy1974's topic in General Students

    Okay, let's see. This has been a very mixed semester. Kicked butt on the first test, got an 80 on the second. I decided to become the student rep, so that's awesome. The biggest thing is that I am...

    Where to go from here?

    rubato replied to Casha9's topic in General Students

    Where in KS do you live? If you are close to the MO border (Kansas City, where I live), you could go for something in Missouri, like St. Luke's. I'm going to be going to KU because the bridge to BSN...

    Writing multiple times?

    I actually feel that I was a junior my first year of nursing school. I had to take 2 years of full time pre reqs to qualify, so it's really 4

    Using the CRAAP Test to Evaluate Information on the Internet

    rubato replied to nurseprnRN's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the input. I only use peer reviewed scholarly articles and journals when doing my research, but it's amazing how many people will just read anything off the internet as fact. Good...

    We were addressed as seniors from day 1 this year. I was surprised too, but it is what it is. The funny thing is that I found out today with all my prereqs and my extra classes for my BSN bridge, I...

    hours per day

    rubato replied to schoolforever's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't study at all until 1 or 2 days before the test, and then it's all day. I was an A student last year (first year), but this year I might be a B student. I was your typical type A my first year...

    Community colleges have seniors also. I took 2 years of pre reqs and was in a 2 year nursing program, so I put in my 4 years. I'll have one year of online leadership classes to take during my BSN...

    That's okay, I'm kind of both. I'm a senior at my school and I'm 43, so that's pretty old for a student.

    How do you get over your nerves?

    rubato replied to ames86's topic in General Students

    Practice is key. I was very nervous my first year of school, but am completely confident now. So much so, that I have actually started IVs on patients without fear. Just know that it'll get easier and...

    I'm a senior and will be taking the NCLEX this coming May. I'm going to a CC and they are all about their pass rates. We have close to a 100% pass rate. I don't plan on studying at all before I take...

    Talking to patients

    rubato replied to futurenursedd's topic in General Students

    It will get easier, I promise! I am in my last year, but I still remember that first day of clinicals. I was a fumbling, nervous mess. I can now handle most personality types as

    rubato replied to Axmann, RN, BSN, NREMT-B's topic in General Students

    I wouldn't practice things I haven't been taught yet. What is the point of practicing something in an incorrect way? You can't do it in the correct way until you are taught. And, each school does...

    Does Nursing School=No Life Literally?

    rubato replied to Marsha238612's topic in General Students

    Thanks. One of my big pet peeves. Nursing school can't "literally" mean you have no life or it would be in prison for murder. Of course, sometimes, I feel that

    Well, mostly yes. However, when your immune system is out of whack, you can have really bad days where you feel horrible. Trust me, I know. Stress can really trigger things and nursing school is...
