  1. Tried and true study methods.

    studentnursemon86 posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Hello, I am just wondering if anyone has any advice for how to study for a nursing exam. Halfway through the semester we have taken two exams so far. I got solid B's on both. Maybe I'm being greedy,...

  2. Scared to start nursing school

    studentnursemon86 replied to dannygurl84's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This is not cool. I am not a very religious person, but I have my chats with the big guy upstairs on a daily basis (please get me through this day, help me help this patient, etc..) Yes, you need to...

  3. Tried and true study methods.

    studentnursemon86 replied to studentnursemon86's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    For our program, it isn't an A unless you get a 93 or higher. I almost cried when I couldn't read my professor's handwriting and thought it said I had an 82. An 82 is a C. Thankfully, it was an 86, so...

  5. Newbies Who Want to Pay ZERO Dues Schedule-Wise

    studentnursemon86 replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This reminds me of when I needed eye surgery (not as involved as breast reconstruction, but still needed off for a week post op). I filled out the FMLA paper and my director signed them. It was a week...

    Oh thank you. I didn't see that in my browsing

  7. itt tech scam?

    studentnursemon86 replied to agills's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    YES! Here is a weird fact. I applied to two schools last year before choosing my community college. The third I never applied to because the deadline was after I got my acceptance letters. One was PSU...

  8. How has Obamacare affected you and your employer?

    studentnursemon86 replied to ProgressiveThinking's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    We have had some budget cuts. Some med surg rooms were blocked off because nurses were displaced. We never used agency. We have our own float pool, so nothing has changed then. PRN positions are the...

  9. itt tech scam?

    studentnursemon86 replied to agills's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You are probably better off with a community college. If you got your LPN or RN from a tech school, some colleges won't accept credits from them if you want to further your education. I looked into...

  10. Scared to start nursing school

    studentnursemon86 replied to dannygurl84's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm halfway through my first semester. It isn't a piece if cake, but don't believe all the horror stories. My biggest issue is time management. I work 36 hours a week (every Friday Saturday and Sunday...

  11. Flu Vaccines. A Hassle?

    studentnursemon86 replied to ChooSoul's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I got my flu shot on Friday night while working. My right arm was sore where they injected it into the muscle. It was sore for a day or two. I'll take that over the flu any

  12. New Ebola Czar

    studentnursemon86 replied to Thimbalina's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I am disappointed at the way they are handling this. Hospitals aren't being given proper information to protect their staff and patient, while the president plays golf and hires this guy to do what?...

  13. Newbies Who Want to Pay ZERO Dues Schedule-Wise

    studentnursemon86 replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    We alternate holidays as well. I switched shifts in March and since then I've worked almost every holiday. I'm just doing it because of school, but I was looking forward to thanksgiving with my...

  14. What's in your bag?

    studentnursemon86 posted a topic in General Students

    All nurses carry bags to work; and nursing students take their bags to clinical. They are filled with all sorts of fun things. I have a Jansport messenger bag. It is green and orange with any...

  15. Newbies Who Want to Pay ZERO Dues Schedule-Wise

    studentnursemon86 replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I did work the night into Memorial Day, and Labor Day, and the 4th of July. I understand that 7pm on thanksgiving day is not.considered the holiday, but it is the only time I can see my family since...

  16. Newbies Who Want to Pay ZERO Dues Schedule-Wise

    studentnursemon86 replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Their justification is that if I have the night before thanksgiving off, I should have to work Black Friday. Black Friday is not a designated holiday so I called B.S. We do self scheduling so I took...

  17. Does anybody else feel guilty about calling off?

    studentnursemon86 replied to Codeblue1982's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    2 weeks ago I had to miss clinical for school and a whole weekend of work due to strep. My fevers were high and I was so dehydrated I had to go in the hospital for IV fluids and lopressor because my...

  18. Miss Manners for Nurses

    studentnursemon86 replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    For the original post; I would use option B as well. As for manners. I once had an older gentleman whistle at me like I was a dog to get me to come. I looked at him and said, "I don't see any dogs...

  19. Newbies Who Want to Pay ZERO Dues Schedule-Wise

    studentnursemon86 replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I am not a nurse, but I left a cushy Monday-Friday doctor office job to work in the ER during nights for nursing school. I also work every weekend since I am in school. That being said; I worked...

  20. NSNA

    studentnursemon86 posted a topic in General Students

    I'm thinking of joining NSNA. It's $80 for a 2 year membership. There is a chapter at my school which I am looking into joining as well. They only meet once a month and have a few fundraisers a year....

  21. New Grad ER Links...

    studentnursemon86 replied to CrazyPremed's topic in Emergency

    This is helpful, thanks. I should be graduating in 2016 and I currently work in an ER as a tech. Many of my coworkers ask if I will work there as a nurse when I graduate and I've been on the fence....

  22. Need advice about clinical

    studentnursemon86 posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    So I am most likely going to miss my clinical. I have been feeling sick the last few today's and today the poop hit the fan. I have posted before about my latent TB diagnosis and being on INH. My BP...

  23. Need advice about clinical

    studentnursemon86 replied to studentnursemon86's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Update: turned out it was strep and I can't take Tylenol for the fevers because of meds I'm on for being exposed for TB. I was out of commission for the whole weekend. My instructor was so nice! She...

  24. Flu Vaccines. A Hassle?

    studentnursemon86 replied to ChooSoul's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I think more people need to be educated about the flu shot. My employer requires we get them, but also gives them to all employees for free. It helps protect the patients as well as the employees. If...

    studentnursemon86 replied to LPN709's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    We had almost half the semester to work on ours. Our lab instructor gave us our unknown and there were lab handbooks with all of the tests and how to do them. It also told is which test to do next...
