  8. Torn between two nursing shoes. Which one?

    I like the first ones better
  9. Religion in Nursing

    In my nursing school they told us to only do what we are comfortable with. And support your patients and if you absolutely do not feel comfortable tell them you'll call their pastor or whomever to do the ritual or prayer with them.
  10. What do you love about nursing school?

    I also love the conversation I can have with my grandma because she's a lpn. Everyday after clinical I call her up and tell her what I did"
  11. Clinicals

    And at my school we only get one pt so it gets kinda boring at times after you finished everything and they're taking nap. You can use that time to chart but its hard to find a spot to sit sometimes!
  12. Clinicals

    At my school we are only allowed to bring what fits in our pockets! Which is a few pens, high lighter, penlight, various "cheat sheets" and our clinical book with everything we have to pass on
  13. What do you love about nursing school?

    I love how close you become to your classmates. They become family and everyone wants the best for everyone
  14. Most people in my PN program are over the age the 30. There's only 3 of us under the age of 21, out of a class of 30
  15. you know you are a nursing student if....

    You get excited when you do your first rectal temperature
  16. I wouldn't do the ma program. I heard they get paid very Low and its not worth the money you spend for school
  17. Second guessing my decision

    I started school in July since then I've had so many ups and Downs and want to quit sometimes. But I think of my goal and keep pushing. I 1/4 way done. Half then time I have no idea what the teachers are talking about and clincals scare the crap out ...
  18. I'm in tears! I feel so sad going into ltcs but coming out and knowing I made a difference in someones life is what I live for
  19. An easy way to remember Anatomy??

    FLASHCARDS! Flash cards were my savior when it came to Anatomy. took the final two weeks and got a 90 on it and 86 final grade, and without flash cards idk what i would have got!
  20. I've been in school a month and a half. So far out of 32 students no one has dropped out. And the last 6 classes that graduate have had a 100 percent pass rate on the nclex.
  21. supplies

    Index cards. Lots and lots of them
  22. Even if you don't want it to happen. But if you really love her you'll focus on her and not other girl who catch your eye
  23. I think your girlfriend has a valid fear. You will be around a lot of females and naturally being around new people can spark interest. People change and things happen.
  24. shoes for clinicals?

    For my school we have to have all white shoes with a leather top. I am not sure what brand to get or even where to get them. I checked at Walmart, payless and the shoe dept. If anyone has any suggestions Please feel free to tell me. (:
  25. shoes for clinicals?

    I think I might go with a pair of rockports for 60 bucks. I tried them on and they were amazing. I definitely think comfort is worth the price. I have needy feet. Lol
