   Crazed_NS replied to Guest11/16/14's topic in General Students

   Wait, what? You get points for those random assignments? I am reading this thread for some study tips because I have trouble focusing sometimes, now I just feel cheated!! If only I could convince the instructors at my college to give us points....

   Crazed_NS replied to Crazed_NS's topic in CCU

   Looking for any kind of advice on this subject. If you are working or have worked in either of these units, what kind of patients do you normally see?

   Crazed_NS posted a topic in CCU

   I went to an interview recently for a patient care tech position and was offered my choice of working on the CCU or PCU. I am a nursing student and I am wondering which unit would I learn or benefit the most from? I know I won't be actually doing any...

5. Volunteering at hospital?

   Crazed_NS replied to jglover4168's topic in General Students

   I had this same idea before starting nursing school 3 weeks ago and it seemed like a good idea at the time. I'm glad I never actually pursued the idea because I definitely don't have time for that! If you haven't started NS yet, then it can't hurt. A...

   Crazed_NS replied to winterlights08's topic in General Students

   I just bought one from ebags and its one of the bigger ones I've seen. I absolutely love it and couldn't do nursing school without it! Im 22 and i don't know why someone wouldn't want to have one when you have so many books! Atleast half of the stude...

    Crazed_NS replied to LCinTraining's topic in General Students

    Ha. When I bought my med surg book last week, I couldn't help but laugh. If its that big of a book and titled 'introduction' to med surg, I'm scared to see what the rest of the books related to it are like! I start on Monday....so excited!

    Crazed_NS replied to kayruhh's topic in General Students

    Crazed_NS replied to its_meee's topic in General Students

    GameStop started selling used apple products and they are guaranteed to work. I recently bought an iPad 2 from there and it's in perfect condition. You can find a 2nd or 3rd generation iPod touch for a decent price!

    Crazed_NS replied to DisneyNurseGal's topic in General Students

    I will miss my free time in general... And being able to procrastinate!! Can't do that while in nursing school. Also not having to stress over studying this summer has been nice... That will all go away on August 20th!! I think I'm okay with it thoug...
