4. Favorite Nursing Class

   Compassion_x replied to MizMaverick's topic in General Students

6. Do you think this schedule/routine will work?

   Compassion_x replied to MedicalPartisan's topic in General Students

   Honestly, this won't work. Don't try to plan and map out every detail of every moment of your life. Even in nursing school. It's not necessary. That said, you can plan all you want but will you...

7. Should I ditch the pinning ceremony for a possible job?

   Compassion_x replied to bella14k's topic in General Students

   I would go to pinning. But I'm sentimental like that haha. If you do call HR about their open house, ask how often they have

8. I don't think I want to be a nurse anymore

   Compassion_x replied to Poly123's topic in General Students

   While I don't think nursing is for everyone, it's entirely possible to just have a bad semester! You don't have to give up. In the end you have to do what you feel is right for you in this. But if it...

9. Stupid classmate tricks

   Compassion_x replied to AOx1's topic in General Students

   Yep. I always feel like they're really asking, "this sounds hard, do I really need to learn it?" Especially when it's the main point of a two hour

10. Using "Medical" terms

    Compassion_x replied to Episteme's topic in General Students

    Well, we can say "fluid volume deficiency," instead of dehydration. There are ways around using medical diagnoses. On the other hand, isn't "constipation" an actual nursing diagnosis? I don't think...

11. What are you doing summer break?

    Compassion_x replied to missmollie's topic in General Students

    Psych nursing 4 weeks of May/June. Pinning in July. I plan to start getting back into yoga and pilates again! And get some (hopefully a lot) of reading done. Otherwise, spend time with family, enjoy...

12. Stupid classmate tricks

    Compassion_x replied to AOx1's topic in General Students

    There's an older woman in our class who feels the need to say "bless you" after every time someone sneezes in class. It sounds polite and nice, until people have sneezing fits during tests in the...

14. Pinned leg

    Compassion_x replied to Compassion_x's topic in General Students

    Well we all had urged him immediately to go to the ER or doctor. The only reason ice came up from any of us (there were 5 of us not including this man) is because he kept refusing to go. Several of us...

15. Pinned leg

    Compassion_x replied to Compassion_x's topic in General Students

    I realize I forgot to mention that I am actually an LPN. He told them I'm a nurse, later (less than 10 minutes later) mentioned I was finishing my RN. I did say not to ice longer than 20 minutes. My...
