  1. Stethoscope.. Help choosing one.

    I got a MDF md one stethoscope that was about $65 or so, then I purchased a $16 prestige medical clinical lite. Long story short, I like the 16 dollar one a lot better. *shakes head*
  2. Your advice was telling a student to quit/drop out because they would be making a "B" (as his post clearly states.) Unlike the majority of advice on here, your advice falls along the lines of being unmotivating and unhelpful, considering you wouldn't...
  3. fainting

    Get some compression socks. :-D
  4. Anatomy and Physiology 2 study tips?

    I used the coloring book for A&P one, but skipped it for A&P 2 since we had so many models to look at for lab. I used flashcards to study. The key to using flash cards effectively is not to cram whatsoever. You need to understand what it is y...
  5. fainting

    Whatever you do, just keep breathing. I noticed I hold my breath in order to be more precise/steady at something. Hahaha. That'll get me feeling dizzy real fast.
  6. If you are a working nurse and did not "just drop out and do something else", then exactly who are you to tell someone else they should, when you didn't! ;-)
  7. The OP mentioned he can still make a B in the class if he works hard. Who drops out or fails out because they are going to make a B? Really?
  8. Honestly, could you tell me why someone would drop out of nursing school because of a failed test or missed clinical day? Rofl! Do YOU give up that easily?
  9. Dear Incoming Class of Nurses

    I teared up too. I hope my instructors are this way. AspiringToRN2 - people tend to come on the internet to vent. Take it with a grain of salt.
  10. ROFL! That's so funny! I've always just had three alarm clocks for really important things in case one ever fails, I have two. I also do the same with my hard drives. I have three currently lol. It's never a bad idea to just have a back up of every...
  11. Your post has just convinced me that everytime I've used three alarm clocks, I know I'm not crazy lol. Really sucks about your situation but don't let it get you down. Thanks for sharing!
  12. Everyone Won't Succeed. And That's Okay!

    Just a note: Just because you fail at something doesn't mean you can't try again. Success comes with many failures. Nothing brings you closer to success than failure does. Failure teaches you what doesn't work. So just adjust and change accordingl...

  16. Trying for Gwinnett Tech 2014

    I'd give a ring and find out. Did you get a acceptance email in your student email from the nursing dept?
  17. Trying for Gwinnett Tech 2014

    Is there anyway to change the name to classof2016 or something? Just curious. Just seems we're past the 2014 entrance part already. Lol.
  18. Trying for Gwinnett Tech 2014

    I was thinking that. I guess every school is different.

    Bilateral10G, ohh I didn't know we were getting two letters. Or perhaps the other one will be via e-mail?
  20. Trying for Gwinnett Tech 2014

    I received my letter today but nothing mentions sending a letter of intent or that were supposed to respond? Let me know if anyone received their letter today. :-)
  21. Trying for Gwinnett Tech 2014

    I haven't checked the mail today. :S but I hope it's here!
  22. Trying for Gwinnett Tech 2014

    Likewise! Looking forward to it!
  23. Hey! I'm also starting nursing school this fall. While I'm not taking any classes this summer I am brushing up with supplemental reading on pharmacology and pathophysiology. Not sure if I'm going in the right direction but at least it's something to...
  24. Why do nurses "eat their young"?

    Right. I sincerely hope you don't go telling patients the reason they are in the ER was because they were looking for something bad to happen to them. I will continue to question why people defend bullying with ridiculous excuses as I unsuscribe fro...
  25. Why do nurses "eat their young"?

    Are you saying because the OP was expecting her day to be unfavorable after hearing horror stories that she should have accepted it? I don't see how being forewarned about something would have automatically changed the nurses behavior towards her. Bu...
