    Eek, physical exam???

    rubato replied to allycat77's topic in General Students

    It doesn't matter what you weigh, as long as you are capable of doing the job of nursing, you'll be fine. We have a lot of larger people in my nursing class that all had to take that same physical...

    theory theory theory

    rubato replied to freckles23's topic in General Students

    The biggest thing for me is knowing the rationales, the whys. For instance, why does my priority nursing intervention with congestive heart failure need to be lung sounds and edema? Because when the...

    rubato replied to Live.&.Learn's topic in General Students

    At this point, I'm counting down to spring break (2 weeks away), then it'll be summer break (even though I have to take 2 classes), then winter break, then I'm done! If I just take it one section at a...

    How do you keep yourself from quitting?

    rubato replied to PurplePRN's topic in General Students

    I like this and have to admit, I'm the same way. My pride is way more important than it should be, so to be seen as a quitter pushes me harder. I bombed a test Monday. Don't know the score yet, but am...

    Receiving an C in AP I and AP II

    rubato replied to mee9mee9's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would retake them also. Just think how much better you'll do having gone through them before. Forget the grade aspect of it all, you need the knowledge. It is the single most important thing I've...

    Good luck on your 3rd attempt. I was SO there last

    Sharing notes/reviews

    rubato replied to Kimynurse's topic in General Students

    We all share what we work on. It's not cheating. I study my way and offer my advice. Others study their way and offer their

    rubato replied to aachavez's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I know. I had the same thought last semester, didn't want to sound stupid in lecture and had to go home to look things up. Why are there so many words to mean the same

    Any benefits with joining Phi Theta Kappa?

    rubato replied to Hellostudentnurssee's topic in General Students

    I decided not to. It was an extra $75 for something that I just didn't need. I already have a scholarship, so I didn't need that aspect. It has no scholarships available for my bridge to BSN when I...

    Failed check off

    rubato replied to FutureNurse114's topic in General Students

    I didn't fail injections, but I failed the sites for IM injections. I should have studied and didn't. I got nervous. It happens. Just use it as a learning tool. I had a phlebotomy check off...

    How often do you study per day or per week?

    rubato replied to baluesunlight's topic in General Students

    This is a good breakdown but not always true. I study more for a 9 credit hour nursing semester than I did for my 18 credit hour prereq semester. With that being said, I probably study too little. I...

    Quick Rant.... (sorry in advance)

    Totally know how you feel! I've been there so many times. You are smart to vent about it and move on. Keep up the good

    Almost entire class failed Anatomy test!

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

    I would wait until you all get the tests back. You can see why you didn't do as well as you normally do. I can't answer your question without more

    First Semester, No Life

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

    I can say that after 1.5 semesters, I have managed to maintain a lot of my life. But, I did give up some things. I kept: my family, exercise, cooking, grocery shopping and the dog. I have temporarily...

    Mental health clinicals are so boring

    rubato posted a topic in General Students

    My title pretty much says it all. I'm in my 2nd semester. I was on an oncology/medsurg floor for my last semester and it was crazy busy. Our nurses had 5 patients that were very high acuity. Now, for...

    Mental health clinicals are so boring

    rubato replied to rubato's topic in General Students

    Thanks for the wonderful information everyone. I will see what I can do tomorrow to get more involved. I am in an adolescent mental health facility, and yes, we are given the most "stable" patients so...

    Looking for Nursing Accessories

    rubato replied to KnitWitch's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Yes, I have an amazingly perfect bag I got from ThirtyOne. It's exactly like you are describing. Can't help with the badge reel.

    SIM lab left me frazzled and worried

    rubato replied to heartsgal's topic in General Students

    So far, I have never left SIM without feeling like a complete moron. Then, we all go out in the hall and I find out we all feel like complete morons. It's ok! Don't worry. So far, I have forgotten...

    Thoughts on taking Microbiology in Fall with first semester Nursing courses?

    rubato replied to larma's topic in General Students

    My first semester of nursing school was last semester. I planned to take micro in the evening and just get it over with. Right before the semester started, I dropped it (cold feet or something). Thank...

    Struggling with Chemistry

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

    Yes, if you can, get a tutor. But, I just wanted to add that you can't always judge how you will do in chemistry by the first test. I got a score in the 70s on my first test, and still managed an A in...

    Anybody have Plan B?

    rubato replied to zeno33's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I didn't have a plan B. Thank goodness I made it on my first try. I think it's a good idea to have at least some idea of a backup plan. It's really competitive

    Apparently, you aren't understanding what I am getting at. That's fine.
