  1. Doubt about a question

    k_girl153 replied to thaysberger's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I would have chosen #2 as well. In both hospitals that I've worked at we had to assist patients even with up ad lib orders unless they had specific orders for stand by assist only. The problem did not...

  4. Steps for shadowing

    k_girl153 replied to quliano's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Welcome, Theo. Have you considered asking a CRNA or APN about their daily responsibilities? If you work at a hospital you could ask HR if you would be able to job shadow. I don't know if that's...

    k_girl153 replied to Orizza's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  6. Stethoscope?

    k_girl153 replied to sbem10's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    A lot of my classmates love their Littmans and have them engraved. Honestly I never had a Dr ask to borrow mine. I stick mine in my pocket since it wouldn't fit in my holder (I have a Welch

  8. Help!? Can I use this steth?

    k_girl153 replied to kayruhh's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

  9. Working and Pre-Reqs

    k_girl153 replied to smoup's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I worked full time during my prereqs but there was no way I would have been able to work FT once NS started so I went to only 12 hrs/week my first semester. My 2nd semester I cut back to PRN/Registry...

    k_girl153 replied to JonB04's topic in General Students

  15. Do you think this fall class schedule is doable?

    k_girl153 replied to Nursing2102's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm with everyone else - I wouldn't do it. If you think you can, by all means, you should do it. I had all my prereqs done before starting nursing classes and I'm so glad I did. I had a lot of friends...

  16. Doseage and Calculations can I do this????

    k_girl153 replied to girlswcurls's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    k_girl153 replied to brmuirhead's topic in General Students

    I'm in my last year. I was nervous too after getting my letter. I was initially really nervous but after I started getting all my required immunizations and physical done (it was a pain!) The...

  18. Starting pre-nursing in Fall at IUPUI. Already a nervous wreck.

    k_girl153 replied to Axmann, RN, BSN, NREMT-B's topic in Indiana Nursing

    Don't stress yourself out over small things. Just set small goals...so goal #1 should be getting into a program first then you can worry passing the NCLEX. Relax...the prereqs are the easy

  19. Do you have a lot of Debt to pay off

    k_girl153 replied to pat8585's topic in General Students

    I will have none (hopefully). I had some loans from my BA but my ex paid off my school loans. My uncle is paying my tuition for nursing school and I plan on taking advantage of tuition reimbursement...

    k_girl153 replied to SC APRN's topic in General Students

    k_girl153 replied to ph0618's topic in General Students

    k_girl153 replied to 2bmalenurse23's topic in General Students

    I don't know about your school but my 2nd semester we had 3-5 week rotations (geriatrics, renal, OB) and pharmacology. I will say that pharmacology kicked my ass! I really was doubtful that I would...

  23. How many Nursing schools did you apply to?

    k_girl153 replied to LaceElaine's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    When I applied I wasn't too confident on getting accepted into any programs. So I applied to 3 schools (2 BSN & 1 ADN) and was accepted to all 3. I ended up going the ADN route since my uncle...

    k_girl153 replied to ImKosher's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
