  1. Did you get to choose your Clinicals site/schedule?

    Nolli replied to Stacilator's topic in General Students

    We get assigned day, time, and site. Assignments are usually posted the week before. Sometimes you don't find out when you are supposed to report until the night before. We're not allowed to switch...

  2. Pregnant in nursing school.

    Nolli replied to suanna's topic in General Students

    The only stipulation in our program for pregnancy is that you can't get certain patient assignments and you must be medically cleared with a waiver signed by your doctor and submitted to clinical...

  3. Nursing school is killing my relationship!

    Nolli replied to jarielle22's topic in General Students

    Hi I've been dating the same guy through nursing school. We've been engaged for awhile now. It is very hard, but he understands that I'm tired and need time to study etc. We have a long distance...

  4. Advice: Peds clinical

    Nolli replied to Pink Magnolia's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Make a developmental cheat sheet. Include Erikson's stage what the main concerns are and what kind of play and toys are age appropriate. Finish it off with a table of normal vital ranges. It is...

  5. Bouncing back after failure

    Nolli replied to allifwilson's topic in General Students

    Some hospitals will actually pay for you to get your BSN in exchange for working there for a specific period of time and others offer tuition assistance in general. Your best bet is a LPN-BSN bridge...

  6. Bouncing back after failure

    Nolli replied to allifwilson's topic in General Students

    I did EMS before this and had some bumps along the way. A few of my evals came back "bad". We had a sit down to discuss improvement and I was told I had to "want it more". It was bollocks for feedback...

  7. Too late to be a nurse?

    Nolli replied to woodland123's topic in General Students

    I have seen people old enough to be my grandmother do it and I'm a nontraditional student myself. I am of the opinion that it is never too late to learn something new. Like Jay I have not seen or...

  8. Help with a oz to mil question please

    Nolli replied to Wayne47's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I use mnemonics to help me remember the more common conversion factors since I had problems keeping the numbers straight at first. 30 monkeys laughed at 1 old zebra and if you eat 2 turkeys you are...

  9. Three months to kill before Nursing School... what to do

    Nolli replied to Myoclonicjerk's topic in General Students

    I'm going to echo the rest of the posters and say relax, but with a caveat; find some things that are good for stress relief or an activity you can enjoy through nursing school. Stress relief is...

  10. anticholinergics

    Nolli replied to djb1284's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    To understand what anti-cholinergics are you must first understand the autonomic nervous system and how it works. The autonomic nervous system is broken down into two main branches the cholinergic or...

  11. fundamentals: should I drop?

    Nolli replied to lovenotwar14's topic in General Students

    I think that's a bit premature to recommend quitting at this point. Many other people have failed classes and gone on to pass the NCLEX. According to OP they are just having trouble with the math....

  12. I can't get over my failure...

    Nolli replied to jead1's topic in General Students

    Sounds like you are having a rough time. I bombed a few exams and had to repeat a history course. I was very angry and it affected my GPA prior to transfer as well as my scholarship award. I am now an...

  13. Not enough tickets

    Nolli posted a topic in General Students

    So I'm graduating and while I'm looking forward to being done, I am no longer looking forward to my graduation ceremony. It's not the fact that I have to pay for my cap and gown instead of renting...

  14. Feeling unmotivated

    Nolli replied to nursetasha22's topic in General Students

    I hear you. We had a rather interesting Med-Surg instructor as well. Everyone hated going to clinical because we were so afraid of getting our heads bitten off. She had already brought several people...

  15. Not enough tickets

    Nolli replied to Nolli's topic in General Students

    Thanks for all the feedback. Feeling a bit better about it. I'm pretty sure we have the pinning and it would be a lot smaller than the ceremony with all of the health profession and health profession...

  16. prenursing

    Nolli replied to hudafuturefnp's topic in General Students

    I am a Senior in Nursing. My clinicals started during Sophomore year for a total of 3 years. Some schools in the area start later or earlier. One of the ADN programs I had looked at started them their...

  17. Is it possible for a student who failed before in a class to pass the program?

    Nolli replied to stargirl018's topic in General Students

    I have seen classmates fail one class, double up on classes, and are now back in our cohort. We're graduating soon, so it certainly is possible to excel when given a second

  18. prenursing

    Nolli replied to hudafuturefnp's topic in General Students

    The best way to find out would be to talk to the school as each individual school sets their own requirements for standing and what credits they accept. I transferred in as a Sophomore at mine while...

  19. Not enough tickets

    Nolli replied to Nolli's topic in General Students

    I'll have to look into the streaming method. I think it might be kind of odd(and will look hilarious) to have a good portion of my family sitting outside gathered around a notebook, but if that's the...

  20. Not enough tickets

    Nolli replied to Nolli's topic in General Students

    Unfortunately, you get tickets only if you are attending graduation which means I can't go and see if the people not going will give me theirs. They ensure that you are in fact going by issuing them...

  21. Need help

    Nolli replied to Babylonne's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Ah, it is easy to become overwhelmed. Sometimes the key to time management and prioritization is planning ahead. The first day I had to manage multiple patients I felt like everything went wrong and I...

  22. Day Vs Night Shift

    Nolli replied to astucki3's topic in General Students

    Depends on the unit. My friend who worked alternating nights and days on an inpatient ortho unit said some nights it was nice and quiet and others it was crazy because of people being up and having a...

  23. I feel like a fraud :((

    Nolli replied to jcwhite23's topic in General Students

    You are not alone. I too have felt the same way at times, but it does sink in over time as you see it again in another class or clinical. If you feel like you want to try a few review questions per...

  24. Give It to Me Straight: Will I get into Nursing School?

    Nolli replied to JayCimone's topic in General Students

    I had to apply as I was completing my summer pre-reqs for nursing school and I got two acceptance letters. The others understood, but ultimately I wasn't accepted there. I don't feel it hurt me except...

  25. A paper

    Nolli replied to nina44's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Some schools also have a writing center. They can help you with conceptualization and brainstorming through proofreading a rough draft. Ours won't do the work for us, but they do help us put our ideas...
