    Hello all, I have been a longtime lurker of an.com and have had a passion for all things medical for years. I have finally been given the golden opportunity of being able to go to school, and even...

  3. The fear just hit me - help :(

    RainbowDash posted a topic in General Students

    I will begin my nursing school odyssey in two weeks time... and at first, the general "oh my god are you SURE can you REALLY do it" fear hit me, after the initial joy at acceptance. I was able to tell...

  4. AP1, any tips?

    RainbowDash posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi there! I'm currently taking AP1, we just started Monday. Mine is a private uni in which we take our pre-requisites one at a time, in a one month format. This means, for AP, I am in school Monday...

  5. AP1, any tips?

    RainbowDash replied to RainbowDash's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Our classroom IS our lab, IE: line of microscopes on a back L shaped table that covers two walls (the end comes up right behind my chair so i am smashed like a sardine, LOL) and we have some of those...

  6. Does nursing school costs scare you?

    RainbowDash replied to Brian's topic in General Students

    My current private school is going to cost me in the realm of 45k .. for an ASN. Bridge will be paid for by my health system, but that's a LOT of money. They're the preferred choice for new nursing...

  7. AP1, any tips?

    RainbowDash replied to RainbowDash's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks for all your suggestions! And yes, it IS crazy doing this in one month - and it's not some watered down, hackneyed version, but the real deal, terribly difficult and absolutely saturated with...

  8. Im SUPER depressed! :(

    RainbowDash replied to Success88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Can be, depending on the program you are applying to, as each one has its own minimum requirements, and then you are usually competing with a ton of other people, so it will depend on how your score...

  9. Clinical Failure

    RainbowDash replied to student1919's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I hate to say it, but I don't think you really have any reason to file a grievance. The fact that your test was over two WEEKS late because you were "stacking copies" for your grievance is especially...

  10. Becoming a Tech

    RainbowDash posted a topic in General Students

    I frequently see that it is a good idea for us to get a leg up on future RN employment prospects by trying to secure a tech job at our facility of choice while still in school. I would like to do...

  11. I'm tired of looking like a zombie

    RainbowDash replied to Brian's topic in General Students

    I would like to say Erase Paste is good, but Benefit Eye Bright is a true miracle worker. It normally comes in a pencil form, but when I go to Ulta I buy the combo pot of Eye Bright/Boi-i-ng. Even...

  12. Anyone else have a problem with this ad?

    RainbowDash replied to rawlinz's topic in General Nursing

    Now that I think on it, I don't know which is worse, the ads with the terrible pictures, or the ones that loudly proclaim that the US nursing situation is in dire straits and that, if you go to...

  13. Wearing Black Scrubs in Pediatric Hospital

    RainbowDash replied to Soliloquy's topic in Pediatric

    At one of my health system's hospitals it seems that every single RN in the whole place is in plain black scrubs! IMO there is nothing even remotely morbid about a black background with cute...

  14. What are the best shoes for nursing?

    RainbowDash replied to chemisttoRN's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Can anyone recommend a good shoe for someone like me with amazingly large feet? I'm a women's twelve wide, and I'm not sure which shoe to choose. My dean informed me my pumas with the pink and lime...

  15. APA Format and You...

    RainbowDash posted a topic in General Students

    Hi all! I've got my first paper due in about a week or so. It's to be written, of course, in APA format. Now, in my prior papers, I've always done all of the work entirely by hand as instructed......

    RainbowDash replied to 071911's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I'm a long way from graduation, so I cannot give you pointers on job applications. However, I can tell you that confidence is EVERYTHING no matter what you do. If you keep telling yourself you CAN,...

  18. Anyone else have a problem with this ad?

    RainbowDash replied to rawlinz's topic in General Nursing

    I do believe she might be. The come-hither stare isn't helping matters. Good Lord. Real nurses look so much different than this that I can't do much but laugh. "Time for your bed bath..." Get out of...

  19. Overweight issues; uncomfortable with being practiced on by another student

    RainbowDash replied to molybdenum's topic in General Students

    As a big girl myself I can totally empathize with you! I was very upfront with my nursing dean about the possibility of having to strip down to my skivvies for the purpose of learning. Thank God she...

  20. How to say no when someone asks for your stethoscope?

    RainbowDash replied to emt... rn student's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    As a student, nobody is touching my Littmann: period. It holds a lot of personal significance for me... I have kept it safely tucked away for nearly two years as a tangible reminder of my ultimate...

    RainbowDash replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    RainbowDash replied to 2bNurseCai's topic in General Students

  23. Loose teeth letter - thought I'd share...

    RainbowDash replied to Marlene39's topic in School

    This seems to set kids up early for today's epidemic of people who run to the nearest ER for the first signs of a stuffed nose, hangnail, stubbed toe etc......... such a bad lesson to teach them....

  24. What are you really good at?

    RainbowDash replied to proud nurse's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Personally, I think trading some professionalism for a great sense of humor is worth it

  25. APA Format and You...

    RainbowDash replied to RainbowDash's topic in General Students

    Thanks for your reply JBudd! I will look into getting PERLA. I don't mind spending a small amount of money as long as I'm assured a quality product! I think I will buy the APA book as well, since I'm...
