  1. How do you find time for your love ones?

    mind_body_soul RN replied to Brian's topic in General Students

    I have to pencil "husband time" into my planner. Whatever is not written down in that little book doesn't get done...that includes household

  2. Forced wearing of nursing cap.

    mind_body_soul RN replied to onetiredstudent's topic in General Students

    Our LPN pinning was mandatory and I would have worn a clown suit if they had made me because I was so happy to be

  3. SOS - Community College Vs. University

    mind_body_soul RN replied to NLOPEZBR's topic in General Students

    Make yourself a list of pros and cons. Where I live (a teeny tiny rural area) the only way to become a nurse is through the community college. It is a 3 year ADN RN program. With financial aid and...

  4. very nervous about 1st semester of nursing school

    mind_body_soul RN replied to TeeGuneys23's topic in General Students

    If you learn by doing then you might shine in clinicals versus theory/fundamentals classes. If your school has a sim lab, see if there are open lab hours or if you can make an appointment to practice...

  5. Nursing Textbooks

    mind_body_soul RN replied to idani's topic in General Students

    I buy as many of them used (but in "like new" condition) as I can to save money, because I like to highlight and write in my books versus taking notes. Some of my books were used for multiple...

  6. Class of 2013 stand up:-)

    mind_body_soul RN replied to BBRANRN2013's topic in General Students

    Just finished the LPN level of my program. One year (2 semesters) to go and I will graduate with my ADN and take the NCLEX-RN in December 2013. So

  7. Vital Information about BSN and MSN online Programs

    mind_body_soul RN replied to jacksonmark's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Eastern New Mexico University is a good, cheap online RN-BSN program. They just launched their online MSN program I

  8. Weeding out?

    mind_body_soul RN replied to wantccu's topic in General Students

    Apparently every semester at my school is a "weeding out" semester. My cohort loses 5-6 a semester it seems. The new semester ones lost 16. Not sure how many of those are going to try and repeat or...

  9. Stethoscope

    mind_body_soul RN replied to athibs's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Check out ADC stethoscopes on Amazon. They are just as good as Littman but

  10. Delegation Assignment HELP

    mind_body_soul RN replied to Kandyrain22's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Always ABCs. The clients awaiting discharge are likely stable and can wait. I agree, you should look at your state's nurse practice act to determine exactly how much you can delegate to the

  11. Is this a Med Error? I have been kicked from clinical. Help

    mind_body_soul RN replied to nursing?s's topic in General Students

    Our professors can't obtain or cosign narcs for us, we have to have the primary nurse do it. The nurse or instructor can only cosign meds THEY personally pull for us, and we have to have the MAR in...

  12. Normal nursing grades..

    mind_body_soul RN replied to katestudentnurse's topic in General Students

    At my school, 77=pass, so they tell us 77 = RN. Of course as an overachiever I aim higher, I got all A's my first semester of nursing school but I will probably get 1 A and 2 B's this semester. Do...

  13. ADN Program Scholarships?

    mind_body_soul RN replied to Cortney's topic in General Students

    Oh, forgot to add, the hospital auxiliary here offers scholarships to students from our school that are in the nursing or radiology programs. So that may be another place for you to look.

  14. ADN Program Scholarships?

    mind_body_soul RN replied to Cortney's topic in General Students

    Congrats! Talk to someone in the nursing department at your school. My school's nursing department offers many scholarships to students, it is simply a manner of getting in touch with the right...

  15. Refusing to dissect in A&P or Microbiology?

    mind_body_soul RN replied to joel.mercado's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    As a cat lover I thought I would have a hard time dissecting the cat in A&P. It was not easy. But I learned a lot from the experience. The cats were euthanized at animal shelters or vets offices...

  16. First day of clinicals, having a hard time emotionally =(

    mind_body_soul RN replied to fresitachulita's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Sounds like my first 8 weeks of clinical. You do get used to it, as hard as it is to believe. I wanted to quit so many times in the beginning. In fact, I still do occasionally. And then I always get...

  17. How did/do you pay for nursing school?

    mind_body_soul RN replied to Joe V's topic in General Students

    Tuition and fees for the nursing program at my community college are around $800 a semester. Books are around $300. It is in a small rural area. I am a military spouse so MyCAA (tuition assistance for...

  18. Words of encouragement

    mind_body_soul RN replied to Jennybrie's topic in General Students

    The song "Keep Your Head Up" by Andy Grammer makes me feel better when nursing and nursing school has me feeling

  19. Leave you family for nursing??

    mind_body_soul RN replied to litebrightgirl's topic in Nursing Career

    Nursing school in itself seems to cause marital issues even without the distance. My classmates and I all agree that our significant others "just don't get it", especially when it comes to the time...

  20. Not sure what to do. Licensed RN working as tech.

    mind_body_soul RN replied to Spikey9001's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I thought that in the nursing position you could not hold a job "lower" than the license you held. At the hospital here, once you have your LPN you can only work as a LPN, once you have your RN you...

  21. Homebirth safer then hospital birth????

    mind_body_soul RN replied to RNlovesherPharmD's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Most homes are probably cleaner than the hospital. No sick or dying people live in my house...the hospital on the other hand, ew. Wish I could autoclave myself at my doorway after clinicals. I have...

  22. Struggling with thorough head-to-toe assessment and narrative charting...

    mind_body_soul RN posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    So far the only thing I am having a problem with in nursing school is time management, and more specifically, completing the giant mountain of clinical paperwork every week in a timely and efficient...

  23. I'm curious...did you have to pay for uniform?

    mind_body_soul RN replied to shudva's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Feeling blessed, sounds like I got off a lot easier than y'all...New Mexico community college tuition $800 per semester, books around $300 semester, spent $100 on two pairs of white scrubs

  24. Not impressed and depressed

    mind_body_soul RN replied to BitterSweetSN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am not really friends with any of my classmates, and who cares. I won't be living in this area after I graduate anyways, and like others have said, nursing school is not about being best buddies...

  25. Nursing Classes: Are they really that bad?

    mind_body_soul RN replied to JD87's topic in General Students

    I would agree with that. As a 4.0 student, the difficulty for me lies not in the content itself but rather in the large amount of new information to process and remember. In my pre-reqs I could skim...
