  1. A bit concerned about my age beginning nursing school...

    soxley replied to mical's topic in General Students

    soxley replied to bame rn's topic in PICU, Pediatric

    My son was in the PICU off and on for months during cancer treatments and almost exclusively for the month prior to his death. It was never a question of if I would be welcome in the room....

  3. Tommorow is the first real day of clinical! Confused!

    soxley replied to cate3624's topic in General Students

    My first day of clinical we did patient care stuff like baths, bed changes, vs, etc. We also sort of tagged onto a CNA and assisted them (passing out food trays, feeding, that kind of stuff). Have...

    soxley replied to JNcCole15's topic in General Students

  6. Ebooks for textbooks?

    soxley replied to aeris99's topic in General Students

    Ebooks!!! I love them HOWEVER I am not a fan of the kindle platform. I love my kindle for reading novels, etc, but it's just not terribly functional IMO for a textbook. I bought, through the...

  7. New nursing student advice

    soxley replied to AlyssaSUNYOrange's topic in General Students

    I love PERRLA software for all those APA papers!!! It made my life so much easier!!! They have a demo video on their site and a free 30 day trial. I tried it for one paper and was hooked. I...

  8. It's my birthday! & all I want is

    soxley replied to Jamjams's topic in General Students

    I'm 37. Will be 38 when I graduate. Age means nothing. I feel lucky I have so much perspective and focus. I'm not sure I would have straight out of high school. So happy birthday!!!! And be...

  12. Surviving Nursing School- financial wise

    soxley replied to jofapcastillo's topic in General Students

    I guess I should also add that I'm super happy and feel very lucky I am not working. Between the 10 month old and school, I'm wiped. I couldn't imagine having to work as well. Good

  13. Surviving Nursing School- financial wise

    soxley replied to jofapcastillo's topic in General Students

    I quit my job as well and we're doing it on one income. It's tough!! But we almost never eat out, never buy anything spur of the moment, plan meals for a week or two at a time, and have made a...

    soxley replied to Minigia06's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Hi everybody! I just had to say a quick hi! I'm in my first semester of the program at CSN (full time RN track) and it's been really awesome so far. I've hardly been back to all nurses since...

  16. Physical, shots, background check....what to do?

    soxley replied to KimmieDurham's topic in General Students

    I would wait to hear from your school as everyone is so remarkably different between schools. For instance, my school only accepts CPR from the American Heart Assn (not from the Red Cross) so I would...

    My guess is alphabetical (If I can guess some last names by some of ya'll's usernames). My last name starts with O, so if they are, I'm in the
