  2. How to Dress for Psychiatric Nursing

    wayward_pitbulls replied to Meriwhen's topic in Psychiatric

    Soon-to-be nursing student here. We had our wedding rings tattooed on, thinking we'd have to worry less about it getting lost, or stolen, or caught in moving equipment, or about what kind of gunk and...

  3. school's out, my brain is tired, need podcasts STAT

    wayward_pitbulls posted a topic in General Students

    I've got a pretty long break, and want to keep up my studies on my own. I find I retain a surprising amount of information when I listen to podcasts while doing stuff around the house. Savage Love...

  4. school's out, my brain is tired, need podcasts STAT

    wayward_pitbulls replied to wayward_pitbulls's topic in General Students

    I found iTunes U to be of variable quality. Which A&P series did you choose? How are you liking it? I just downloaded 25 hours of an Australian series on Microbio with Patho & Pharm; it's a...

  5. Feeling down and out about Nursing school

    wayward_pitbulls replied to angelhearty15's topic in General Students

    This can be a hard time of year -- school is so demanding, and it seems like all the non-students in the world are pouring themselves into their personal lives. The fact that you've "been down for a...

    wayward_pitbulls replied to misssummer7's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Michellepa -- I found FACT classes from previous years, and several other 2014 cohorts at TJU, just not the 2014 FACT class. Weird, no? Is there a way to post a link for those of us who are...

    wayward_pitbulls replied to misssummer7's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Been in the Philly area over fifteen years, East Parkside neighborhood almost five, starting FACT in May 2014. I can also answer questions, including on how to get by in the not-so-nice but WAY more...

    Michellepa - Tried your search terms, found the FACT class of 2013-2014 but NOT ours.

  9. last micro assignment, DONE!

    wayward_pitbulls replied to RHill9919's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I *wanted* to love Micro, but the instructer is such a slooowwww talker, and lecture was right after work, and the text was super dumbed-down, and, and, and.... Long story short, i doodled microbes...

  10. chronic illness and the dreaded school physical

    wayward_pitbulls posted a topic in General Students

    I've been accepted Jefferson's FACT program, starting May 2014. (I'm hella excited! Go me!) I also have a lengthy history of bipolar 2 and unexplained arthralgia. It slows me down sometimes, but...

    wayward_pitbulls replied to wayward_pitbulls's topic in General Students

    Thanks for your recent posts on mental health issues in the workplace, and for your support here. It's a hard topic, and I am appreciating your writing. Does gabapentin turn up on the screen? I'm...

  12. chronic illness and the dreaded school physical

    wayward_pitbulls replied to wayward_pitbulls's topic in General Students

    This is a third draft, and still very rough and very long. Help, please? The prompt is "my motivations for becoming a nurse." "My motivations for becoming a nurse are complicated. I hope the...

  14. Getting into nursing school with a mental illness? Is it going to be possible?

    wayward_pitbulls replied to lntm2925's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    So happy to see this thread. I've been terrified of the mental illness/getting into school issue. I don't feel any special need to disclose it, but it's there in my medical records. When those...

  15. Anyone else applying to CCP for Fall 2013?

    wayward_pitbulls replied to mommyof3girls's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    That was the original plan, but my orientation leader said an ASN is no longer enough to get a decent job in city hospital. I somehow missed this up till Wednesday, and i'm pretty unhappy: the whole...
