    Starting nursing school..why am I so afraid?

    missmollie replied to 4everpeace's topic in General Students

    You've been a CNA for 21 years, and that's a really long time. I don't know much about you, but I can probably assume that you really like what you do and that you care for your patients. As a...

    The teacher had the question wrong...Should I be penalized?

    missmollie replied to vonnieb63's topic in General Students

    Did the majority of the students in the class only choose one answer? If that were the case, I would set up a meeting with the professor, then the assistant dean, then the dean. The question should...

    I have just studied completely different than ever before for a med-surg test, and through that studying, I have found that one of my friends is simply brilliant. I, on the other hand, have...

    Rant and insecurities.

    missmollie replied to missmollie's topic in General Students

    Thank you all for your suggestions. Funny thing is that my instructor is wonderful. She doesn't do anything to make me nervous, it just naturally happens because of me. Some days are just bad, some...

    Are nursing schools saturated, less applying?

    missmollie replied to I'm_no_Genius_but's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The responsibility is with the student regardless of what field/degree they are majoring in. In an age with google, multiple forums, easily accessible newspaper and magazine articles, the excuse "I...

    Fundamentals Theory Test help!!

    missmollie replied to Hbrmom81's topic in General Students

    The only thing missing is reading your book. I would try that and see if your scores improve. A "B" is pretty good, so I would say you're on the right track

    missmollie posted a topic in General Students

    Clinical...even mentioning the word causes the heart rate to increase and can make the most confident people nervous. All of the skills we've had, everything we've learned, and we get to do those on a...

    missmollie replied to missmollie's topic in General Students

    For myself: I had to draw up medicine in a syringe. I carefully wipe off the top for 30 seconds, pull up the air in my needle (1ml), inject the needle and insert the air, and flip the vial upside...

    Should I continue nursing school?

    missmollie replied to Flojo0014's topic in General Students

    There are many threads on allnurses where students have talked about hating clinical. I think it varies for different students, and it is not indicative of how you'll be as a nurse. 1. Do you...

    Is it really that bad?

    missmollie replied to MedicalPartisan's topic in General Students

    No one really "gets it" until they are actively working through a semester. Please update this thread once you are in the program, and let us know how you feel

    Nursing school is killing my relationship!

    missmollie replied to jarielle22's topic in General Students

    No one can tell you how to figure this out, that's something that couples do. It would be prudent to talk to him about your issues when you both have some downtime (Spring break, maybe?). My only...

    missmollie replied to HeartsAndLungsRN's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I think it's normal for everyone to have that one thing that freaks them out a little, even if you didn't know it would beforehand. Don't sweat it, and if you want to see another birth, then go and...

    3rd semester failed 2nd test

    missmollie replied to Jennifer425RN2B's topic in General Students

    Well, it's your third semester. You've done something right up to this point, so stay the course. It's just one test, it doesn't mean anything in the long run. See your professors, find out where...

    Pain types

    missmollie replied to Honey Bee's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I know that we've been taught that the pain is what the patient says it is, and you treat it. So out of curiosity, how is the pain different, and does that affect how you treat it? Do you give...

    Why do they always start with IV fluids?

    missmollie replied to rosemary_petals's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'm going for the extra credit. The vasopressin and nitroglycerin are synergistic because they help improve blood flow to vital organs. I don't know why or how though, but if I had to venture a...

    What is nursing advocacy? And in which situations do we advocate for our patients?
