  1. How old were you when you started Nursing School?

    slc1984 replied to NursingStudentMomof3's topic in General Students

    My first day of nursing school was my 27th birthday. I'm turning 29 in a week and will be done in December. I have a 9 year old and a 5 year

  2. What did/do you dissect in A&P lab?

    slc1984 replied to __patiently_waiting's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Cats, cow heart, sheep eye/brain... the cat was by far the worst. In advanced anatomy the cat I got had been declawed which broke my heart. It was obviously some ones pet at some point. Our teacher...

  3. Superstitions???

    slc1984 replied to BeansMama's topic in General Students

    I listen to the phantom of the opera soundtrack during finals week and BLAST it on my drive to school on final test

  4. Pregnant while in nursing school?

    slc1984 replied to jmichelle820's topic in General Students

    There were a couple of guys in my class that had babies right before and right after our first semester started. They obviously didn't have to give birth or try to juggle breastfeeding, but they did...

  5. Navy NCP FY2014 'Role call'

    slc1984 replied to StudentForever77's topic in Government, Military

    Anyone learning anything new about any of this stuff? I think I'm on the mailing list now so I should be getting all the information I'm supposed to be getting but just wanted to check

  6. CPR actually WORKS!

    slc1984 posted a topic in General Students

    I have been renewing my CPR every couple of years since I was a lifeguard in high school. Every single time I am sitting in the class I'm thinking, "does CPR (out of the hospital) really help"?...

  7. Is military career pathway as a nurse good for me?

    slc1984 replied to yanyan88's topic in Government, Military

    I think I read all of the posts and I didn't see anyone addressing the Navy or the NCP. I was accepted into the Navy NCP this May and can at least answer your questions about that. I think you have...

  8. Help with Studying Please :)

    slc1984 replied to HEsMyHealer's topic in General Students

    I record myself going over my notes one time, put it on repeat and listen to it while I sleep and any other time I can listen to it (in the car, while cleaning). It sounds like a weird thing to do but...

  9. Backpack for nursing school?

    slc1984 replied to Lollipops's topic in General Students

    I'm about to go into my 5th semester and I can count the number of times I've taken a book to class on one hand. I use a swiss army laptop backpack that I've had for years just to carry my laptop and...

  10. PATIENT posting pictures on Facebook

    slc1984 replied to nkochrn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I've taken pictures at restaurants with staff in the background, at fairs with carnies in the background, at the beach with other people in the background... Unless it was specifically a picture of...

  11. Navy NCP FY2014 'Role call'

    slc1984 replied to StudentForever77's topic in Government, Military

    I ended up having to call them. She said that I was on her list and she sent it to me already, but unless it went to spam and I didn't notice, I never got

  12. Navy NCP FY2014 'Role call'

    slc1984 replied to StudentForever77's topic in Government, Military

    I finally filled out my DPS sheet I was really starting to get worried about that. I put Portsmouth, Bethesda, San Diego :) Now if I can just handle waiting the couple of months to find out where I...

  13. What type of agenda do you use for nursing school?

    slc1984 replied to Guest11/16/14's topic in General Students

    I hate planners and can never seem to get into the habit of using them. I go to office max and find the biggest desk calendar pad I can find. They are kind of expensive but most of them contain 18...

  14. Working while in nursing school?

    slc1984 replied to RNnewbie2014's topic in General Students

    If you've never done elementary education and she's never done nursing then I think neither of you really have any room to talk about which is harder. I have a biology degree and am in my last...

  15. Pregnant! When to tell supervisor?

    slc1984 replied to trauma_lama's topic in General Nursing

    Haha. I was thinking "if your two weeks pregnant shouldn't you and your husband be doing something right about now?" Congrats on the pregnancy

  16. I just have to know NOW! Really?

    slc1984 replied to nurseprnRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I just fail to see how comparing how the NCLEX is now to how it "was" is even worth any effort. There was a time when you didn't know for sure you were pregnant until you were showing or feeling the...

  17. Extremely Overweight Nurses

    slc1984 replied to WonderousIvy's topic in Nursing Career

    All I could think when I read that is "oh the germs!"

  18. Stories of people who have gone straight from BSN to NP?

    slc1984 replied to priorities2's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I knew one girl who did it. She ended up with her NP but being a floor nurse for a year or so before she finally got a clinic NP position. I lost touch with her after that. I know she isn't working at...

  19. How much are you paying...

    slc1984 replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Students

    I am in South Dakota and I pay about $6500 per semester. BSN- State

  20. Extremely Overweight Nurses

    slc1984 replied to WonderousIvy's topic in Nursing Career

    And ironic to boot

  21. Extremely Overweight Nurses

    slc1984 replied to WonderousIvy's topic in Nursing Career

    This actually really surprised me! I expected all the "don't judge" comments, but I didn't expect people to say being fat benefited them in any way... that is the deluded way of thinking that will get...

  22. Extremely Overweight Nurses

    slc1984 replied to WonderousIvy's topic in Nursing Career

    Some people can handle being a little overweight and still be quite active and capable. Others can handle being obese and still be quite active and capable. If however you are not at a "healthy"...

  23. preparing for summer anatomy course... :/

    slc1984 replied to Hopeful0630's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Is it just anatomy or is it A&P? Google mnemonics for anatomy and you will find a ton of very helpful ways to remember stuff. Phys is harder, but anatomy is all

  24. Want to be a CNA & was arrested as a minor.

    slc1984 replied to cstaleyy's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    If that stops you from being a CNA, then there should be very few people working in the hospital... and they all have wings hidden under their

  25. Navy NCP FY2014 'Role call'

    slc1984 replied to StudentForever77's topic in Government, Military

    I graduate dec. 2013 and I am in the FY14 group so dec. 2014 would be in FY15. I hope, otherwise I'm all sorts of discombobulated
