    Anxiety about making friends in NS

    rubato replied to parkj9's topic in General Students

    I knew no one in my class. A lot of them were either friends or had at least taken prereqs together. I only felt out of place the first day. I just sat in the very middle of the lecture hall and...

    How much time do you put into homework and studying?

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

    I am the opposite. I barely opened my book and pulled an A in A&P, Chem, Micro. All with no problem. Then, I started nursing school. Well, having no good study habits hurt me BAD my first...

    Male Nurses that lift weights and stay fit

    rubato replied to S-Rank's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I'm female, but used to be a personal trainer, so lifting is always going to be a part of my life. I love it and try to make time twice a week. I also run marathons, so that training takes lots of...

    Possible to take extra class per semester at another school during nursing program?

    rubato replied to RnStudent2021's topic in General Students

    I am taking classes during nursing school. Is it hard? YES! But I'm getting through it. One extra 3-credit hour class per semester, and my school schedules my clinical days around it, because it has...

    The importance of "staying fit"?!?

    rubato replied to futurenursekl's topic in General Students

    Diet is so much more important than exercise. And this is coming from a previous personal trainer. Eat right, do cardio with some weights. You will be a healthy role model for your patients. It's not...

    Dropping out of Nursing School.

    rubato replied to Stephalump's topic in General Students

    Oh no. I was wondering where you have been lately. Addison's is tough, but how long have you been diagnosed and getting treatment? Are your cortisol levels rising? I have Hashimoto's thyroiditis, and...

    Staying in shape while going to school

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

    I'm a senior this year. My day usually consists of getting up at 5, running and lifting weights, then school all day. I pack healthy meals and snacks and never eat out. I also walk the dog at least...

    Senior Student - staying motivated till the end.

    rubato replied to ArrowRN's topic in General Students

    I'm an older senior student and after 1 week back, feel your pain. I'm fine with the content, but it's the pace and the info overload and the lecture/lab/clinicals/SIM/ATI/other classes that I'm...

    Should I take full time classes as a pre-nursing student?

    rubato replied to moesie1992's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I went back to school after a 22 year hiatus, so you can imagine how difficult it was for my brain to kick back into high gear. But, I took chemistry my first semester with 2 easy classes. It got me...

    I think I left my immunizations too late.. how much did I mess up?

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

    All immunizations must be done, except for the 2nd and 3rd round of Hep B. Most places will let you slide on that as long as you've started them, since it takes so long to finish the

    What do you so to relax from nursing school?

    CHEMISTRY.

    rubato replied to sjg8412's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The syllabus in any class can be overwhelming (since it's all material you don't know), but it's even more so in science classes. You learn a lot of info in chemistry, but it's very doable. Plus,...

    Online Microbiology

    rubato replied to CH428's topic in General Students

    Just finished a summer session of online micro. It wasn't bad at all. Depends entirely on the instructor. Mine audio recorded her powerpoints, which was so nice since we had no lecture. I managed a...

    Staying in Shape

    rubato replied to green34's topic in General Students

    Thanks for the topic, OP. I have managed to stay in shape through my first year by eating natural foods, exercising daily (yes, even before a 12 hour clinical) and parking far away as well as taking...

    Disappointment and sadness

    rubato replied to amberella123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This certainly stinks, but it's only one year. Just try to either take classes that will eventually help you as a nurse, or take fun classes to get those extra credit hours. And, you obviously...

    A spouse that just doesn't get it.

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

    He'll eventually get it. I am starting my 2nd semester of nursing school. My hubby didn't get it when I started my prereqs. But, my first summer, I took chemistry with lab, algebra and a health class....

    Any tips on being more organized?

    rubato replied to detrelibre's topic in General Students

    Planner is key. But, you also need to have a system. I go to lecture with printed out power points that I them put my notes on. I then come home and type, then print out my notes (it gives me a 2nd...

    Patient's responses to students during clinical days

    rubato replied to QueenAnnissa's topic in General Students

    There are two ways a patient can look at a student: 1. Yet another darn person in here messing with me. 2. Wow, undivided attention from 1 person all day. My patients ALWAYS chose option number 2,...

    Gotta agree with the above posters. Coke, granola bars, yogurt and fruit is what you mentioned. All forms of sugar in one way or another. While the fruit isn't necessarily bad, the other things are...
