  2. Night shift dinner time

    DisneyNurseGal replied to kantuta's topic in General Nursing

    When I worked nights I tried to eat "dinner" about 3am. My reason is that if I ate dinner on a normal shift it would be 5 hours before bedtime, so eating at 3am and going to sleep at 8am is...

  3. NCLEX Advice

    DisneyNurseGal replied to britnian's topic in General Students

    My school recommends that we are exposed to 10,000 NCLEX style questions before the exam . My school fees included access to a sample test data base Prep-U which is awesome. I also own a couple of...

    DisneyNurseGal replied to DisneyNurseGal's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Thanks everyone! The hospital is where I really want to be, so I think I am going to go for the internship - it is definitely the scarier route, but nursing students don't have fear right??!!!??...

    DisneyNurseGal replied to StayHumble11's topic in General Students

    DisneyNurseGal replied to karinagaines4's topic in General Students

    Congrats on getting into UNLV. I am a Vegas native who moved up the road to St. George 5 years ago. I would have tried to get into UNLV if I still lived in Sin City :) What high school did you go...

  8. Hep B Vaccination

    DisneyNurseGal replied to Davis9395's topic in General Students

    I would check with your program because each is different. My program you had to have the first two finished before the start and the third one 6 months after the first (pretty sure this is the CDC...

  9. Older workers that are new grad nurses, please explain.

    DisneyNurseGal replied to wish_me_luck's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    No... maturity comes from not ASSUMING things that you do not fully know, experienced or understand. A mature person (regardless of age) understands they do not know everything, asks questions, tries...

  10. Older workers that are new grad nurses, please explain.

    DisneyNurseGal replied to wish_me_luck's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    You have no clue what you are talking about. I will go back to your original question.. why do older workers have something that the younger nurses don't... IT'S CALLED MATURITY, and it is

  11. Older workers that are new grad nurses, please explain.

    DisneyNurseGal replied to wish_me_luck's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    A lease is not the same as a mortgage, and you can not make a statement like this until you have done both. In an apartment your Air Conditioning / Heater goes out do you have to pay for it?? Do you...

  12. Older workers that are new grad nurses, please explain.

    DisneyNurseGal replied to wish_me_luck's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I am one of the "older" nursing students (I will be 40 when I graduate in the fall), and I do not think I DESERVE a job over the younger one. It can not be helped that I have previous management...

    DisneyNurseGal replied to DisneyNurseGal's topic in First Year After Licensure

    DisneyNurseGal replied to chacha82's topic in General Students

    They sent with my acceptance a list of things that I needed to do before school started, and I did not hear back from them until school started. You are not a pest if you call to see if perhaps you...

  18. Statistics - Timed Quizzes

    DisneyNurseGal replied to phoenixnim's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Does your professor announce the class average for each test/quiz? Maybe you could ask them because maybe the whole class did horribly on the hour

  19. Nursing vs Rad Tech

    DisneyNurseGal replied to VampyrSlayer's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was in the EXACT same position! I was doing my pre reqs and trying to decide which program to go into. For me, it boiled down to this... once you get your rad tech there is no where else to go...

  22. Does anyone find cliff notes helpful?

    DisneyNurseGal replied to usafmedic's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    For me, reading does not do jack squat except take up valuable time. I am 1/2 way through nursing school and I can honestly say I have not read from my textbooks. It has been proven that reading has...

    DisneyNurseGal replied to gisellev2012's topic in General Students
