  1. When Will I Know?!?!?

    ssaarraahh replied to MyMystudentRN's topic in General Students

    As jocy_anne said, the acceptance/rejection letters usually come via e-mail now. The first time I got rejected was via an e-mail. When I got accepted into nursing school, I first got the e-mail that...

  2. Did you learn IV in NS?!

    ssaarraahh replied to tammy_zeidan09's topic in General Students

    We had to learn how to do IVs in nursing school. During clinical, some of the hospitals would let nursing students put IVs in while other hospitals did not. Everytime I put an IV in, I had to have a...

    ssaarraahh replied to Ashley1120's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    ssaarraahh replied to mssjez's topic in General Students

  8. My girlfriend is afraid that I might meet another girl in the nursing program...

    ssaarraahh replied to ThePhilster's topic in General Students

    Your girlfriend needs to completely trust you. You are going to school to learn and become a nurse, not to hook up with other girls. There should not be an issue with other girls. Yes you will work...

  9. I am somewhat squeamish around needles. Do any nurses get over that?

    ssaarraahh replied to pookiecupcake's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  10. I am somewhat squeamish around needles. Do any nurses get over that?

    ssaarraahh replied to pookiecupcake's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You will get use to it; you just need to be around needles more. The first time I saw a nurse put in an IV (pre-nursing school), I fainted. Yup, I really did. Now, 3 years later, I can put in an IV,...

    ssaarraahh replied to PacoUSA's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    ssaarraahh replied to ahforeal's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    ssaarraahh replied to 2bNurseCai's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    ssaarraahh replied to June2012's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  21. Lobe Piercings

    ssaarraahh replied to Sarah96's topic in General Students

    At the school I went to, I don't think they had any policies on how many you could have. I have 5 piercing in each ear and I never had anyone tell me to take them out. They had to be studs though. As...
