    Overtime

    missmollie replied to missmollie's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Thanks for the responses. Does anyone find that they are too exhausted and it affects the level of work that you do? That's one of the key things that my research has said, that OT increases the...

    Sorry, sorry about that, I'm so sorry.

    missmollie posted a topic in General Students

    That word, "sorry", comes out of my mouth more often than anything else during clinical. I apologize to my instructor, I apologize to the patients, I apologize to the nurses if I'm in their way. I...

    If you are not a nurse, do NOT use the title, please

    missmollie replied to RNsRWe's topic in General Students

    I don't doubt that for a second. Others, particularly the nurse2b person, I question. But I have seen your threads/posts, I can almost guarantee that you are the real deal, and someone I wouldn't...

    If you are not a nurse, do NOT use the title, please

    missmollie replied to RNsRWe's topic in General Students

    Minus my sarcastic remark at the end, this entire thread is a moot point, and let me explain why. Ruby Vee, I often look to your posts because I know that you are a nurse, but that concept might be...

    If you are not a nurse, do NOT use the title, please

    missmollie replied to RNsRWe's topic in General Students

    My apologies. I tried to see if there was a way to change my username, and I couldn't do it. I guess I didn't realize that the internet was regulated like the work environment, where a license is...

    Spring Break Countdown

    missmollie replied to twss2323's topic in General Students

    One more week then I have an entire day uninterrupted by lecture to study. For two tests. The week we come back. Is it terrible that I can't wait for school to be

    If you are not a nurse, do NOT use the title, please

    missmollie replied to RNsRWe's topic in General Students

    I'm a little concerned at this point. Professionals need not engage in this type of behavior, although I'm quite sure that in real life you're less tough than any of you claim to be on the internet....

    missmollie replied to succinate's topic in General Nursing

    You talk about people coming up to you and starting a conversation, but how often do you start the conversation? Often it takes two. Seems to me like the students who are initiating the conversation...

    Three months to kill before Nursing School... what to do

    missmollie replied to Myoclonicjerk's topic in General Students

    Watch shows, read your favorite types of books, clean your house. Enjoy every single day and relax. I bought my book early and studied before starting school. It didn't help me at all. So take my...

    Sorry, sorry about that, I'm so sorry.

    missmollie replied to missmollie's topic in General Students

    This is probably something I should be told, and I appreciate you taking the time to respond. You are absolutely right. I was thinking about this issue while driving home today, and I think now...

    Sorry, sorry about that, I'm so sorry.

    missmollie replied to missmollie's topic in General Students

    Thanks for the comments. I think the main issue is I feel inadequate with my skills. I could spend more time in the lab, I suppose, but once I do something in the clinical setting, I'm fine the next...

    Appendicitis Case study

    missmollie replied to cac1213's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    6: With the nursing priority diagnosis, think Maslow's and ABC's. She is NPO, she has a NG tube. Why? What kind of problems could those present to the patient. Foley catheter and abdominal...

    Need help

    missmollie replied to Babylonne's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Esme, you were once qualified but now you're not? Because of new requirements? I find that so disheartening. The information you give students on this site is extremely helpful and overall awesome....

    Appendicitis Case study

    missmollie replied to cac1213's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I could answer all these questions for you. Here's what you need to do: 1. Read that huge med-surg textbook. Specifically, the chapter on either Lower GI dysfunction, Upper GI dysfunction, or...

    Im so burned out

    missmollie replied to palamino98's topic in General Students

    Take a night off and go have a little fun. One night will not kill you, let it recharge your batteries. I'm sorry you are feeling this way, but just remember that this too shall pass! You will pass...

    Which nursing program with small kids?

    missmollie replied to amb4's topic in General Students

    I don't know what is going to be right for you, but I will tell you that nursing school is hard. I'm sure you've heard that before. Right now in my second semester of an ADN program, many of my...

    Overwhelmed First Level Nursing Student!!

    missmollie replied to cate3624's topic in General Students

    Obviously. I see how much you want it from your post, I must have read too much into it. Good luck on your med pass remediation! I'm sure you've got

    Overwhelmed First Level Nursing Student!!

    missmollie replied to cate3624's topic in General Students

    Not once in your post did you say "I want to be a nurse." That's okay. Maybe now isn't your time, or maybe nursing school isn't what you thought it was going to be. It's not easy. Be honest with...

    Thinking Like a Nurse (Long...sorry!)

    missmollie replied to Exhaustipated's topic in General Students

    Going from an A to a B isn't the end of the world. If you understand where you went wrong with the answers, then you'll be better prepared for the next exam. I got a B on an exam that I studied all...

    I feel like a fraud :((

    missmollie replied to jcwhite23's topic in General Students

    Why quit when you can just learn? Want to be a good nurse? Worried that you don't know what you need to know? Then go back and restudy (probably after this semester, of course) the material. I...

    Pre-Admission Testing

    missmollie replied to kenadi's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I couldn't get an test time to take the NLN, so I thought that was that. I received a phone call the night before, saying that a test slot had opened up the next morning. I went and took it without...

    How bad do you want to be a nurse?

    missmollie replied to Brian's topic in General Students

    This pretty much sums up my weekend before a med-surg

    Starting IV's

    missmollie replied to missmollie's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Thank you for the advice. I feel better knowing there were others with the same fear who overcame those fears. I will continue to watch you tube videos for the exposure and practice! I have a...

    Failed my first pathphysiology exam

    missmollie replied to Jamjams's topic in General Students

    You accept that you're going to have to work harder, figure out what you could do to improve your study habits, review the test (if allowed) to see where you went wrong, and study to ace that next...

    Schools misrepresenting competitiveness?

    missmollie replied to skzfoz's topic in General Students

    Esme, I am sorry that she wants it so badly and that her experience, thus far, has been poor. I hope she gets that acceptance letter from a school she really wants to attend! Fingers crossed for a...
