  1. Yep. I have no friends in school.

    aeris99 replied to rheath22's topic in General Students

    I have gotten to the point of feeling like I have a few friends in class. But like the OP, I always felt sort of outside everything. So I talked to everyone. I changed my seat every class through...

  2. 5/01 WILTW: Margaritas and Oral Thrush

    aeris99 replied to Purple_roses's topic in General Nursing

    Did you find the Kaplan review helpful? We're doing a 4 day review with Kaplan after graduation. I'm curious to see how it compares to ATI. I didn't find the ATI 3 day live review helpful at all. It...

  3. 5/01 WILTW: Margaritas and Oral Thrush

    aeris99 replied to Purple_roses's topic in General Nursing

    I've dealt with the insurance headaches as a parent, both psychiatric and endocrine meds being denied by insurance. Thank you for advocating! I really wish there were more people like you in our local...

    Her name is Luna. She's a little calico, 8 weeks

  5. 5/01 WILTW: Margaritas and Oral Thrush

    aeris99 replied to Purple_roses's topic in General Nursing

    I'm waiting to buy dresses until Saturday, after my final. I've already shelled out enough money as it is. Now that the offspring are in bed and the coffee is done brewing, I'm off to study. Off...

  6. 5/01 WILTW: Margaritas and Oral Thrush

    aeris99 replied to Purple_roses's topic in General Nursing

    This week I have learned just how solid the brick wall can be when you crash into it, figuratively of course. I successfully tested out of 12 credits in less than a week. Passed 2 out of 3 of my...

  7. 4/23 WILTW: It turns out nurses do make the worst patients

    aeris99 replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I bought a pair of compression socks and while I love how they help my legs and feet, I couldn't get over the noise my shoes make when I have them on! It's this this awful clapping/slurping sound. No...

  8. 4/23 WILTW: It turns out nurses do make the worst patients

    aeris99 replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I did learn how to reverse the inversion. Though it did require both of us to apply pressure. I tried to maintain my facial expression but I must have looked confused. My preceptor did manage to...

  9. If you run out of time on nclex rn can you still pass

    aeris99 replied to Eward8673's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    If you run out of time your test will be graded on the last 60 test items. If they were mostly above passing, you pass. If they were below, you fail. The Kaplan rep told us to budget our breaks and...

  10. 4/23 WILTW: It turns out nurses do make the worst patients

    aeris99 replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I missed last weeks post so WILLW: A catheterized member can become inverted, due to fluid status and pt weight. The result is a very perplexed nursing student who's preceptor is snorting in an...

  11. 4/16 What I learned this week: POD2 and I want my button back

    aeris99 replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I forgot to post [emoji53] I'll save mine for the new

  12. Advice for 1st semester nursing students.

    aeris99 replied to 2bNurseDR.T's topic in General Students

    If you use pre-made sets from quizlet be sure you check the info first. Some of the sets are completely wrong. I made my own note cards for everything. I found that focusing on assessment and nursing...

  13. Fleas bites in home health

    aeris99 replied to mismatched's topic in Home Health

    As an LNA I was sent to an apartment building that was infested with bed bugs. You could literally see them crawling on everything. I had been told to wear white scrubs and shoes that day. I was...

  14. 04/09 WILTW: Confused LOLs

    aeris99 replied to cracklingkraken's topic in General Nursing

    Tonight is my last clinical shift and I'm really bummed out. I have absolutely loved being in the ICU and have learned so much, I don't want to leave! Things I learned last night: Serotonin syndrome...

  15. 04/09 WILTW: Confused LOLs

    aeris99 replied to cracklingkraken's topic in General Nursing

    I have learned that review courses are not that helpful for me. I just wind up angry. I have 2 clinical shifts left and 4 weeks of classes before graduation! I'm trying really hard not to panic over...

  16. Okay, this is random ... but under-scrub shirts! Specific needs.

    aeris99 replied to Lunah's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Wonder wink. You just have to try on the different styles. But they're light, comfortable and cover everything. I have the same problem with chest/arm tattoos. My school is super strict about me...

  17. Applying for nursing school on antidepressants

    aeris99 replied to kristinamarie55's topic in General Students

    In my experience, accessing accommodations does not require that you disclose to instructors. That is done with Student Services, which operates independently. It's completely confidential. When I...

  18. New Nurse feeling very down

    aeris99 replied to RNthenDoc's topic in PICU, Pediatric

    I'd ask to switch to a different preceptor if the situation doesn't start to turn around. This is not conducive to learning your role. Just a note, I'm a senior nursing student precepting in the ICU....

  19. Would you report possible diversion?

    aeris99 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Not disagreeing with your post but I think it should be pointed out that some of these behaviors are normal. I potentially could be seen as a suspected diverter when I'm actually: 1-in financial need...

  20. 3/19 What I learned this week: more about employment laws than anything else

    aeris99 replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I love them all to be honest! I spent a chunk of time playing 4 player with my family and it was so much

  21. Would you report possible diversion?

    aeris99 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    From NH BON under misconduct: (e) Unethical conduct including but not limited to conduct likely to deceive, defraud, or harm the pubic or demonstrating a willful or careless disregard for the health...

  22. 3/19 What I learned this week: more about employment laws than anything else

    aeris99 replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I was on spring break last week and learned how to level up really fast while playing Diablo 3: ROS. This week I learned that my brain gets super fuzzy during the first clinical NOC shift back Also,...

  23. Applying for nursing school on antidepressants

    aeris99 replied to kristinamarie55's topic in General Students

    I can safely say that 50% of my class who started out unmedicated are now medicated for depression/anxiety. I personally started out on an antidepressant and ADHD meds. While I did have to disclose...

  24. 1 minute for each question in nursing school

    aeris99 replied to RescueNinja123's topic in General Students

    For our exams they don't allow us to skip around. You have one chance to answer, no going back. Figure out the best way for you to pick apart questions. Get help with reading if that's where you...

  25. 3/12: what I learned this week: ALWAYS taper your SSRI

    aeris99 replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    No sage wisdom out of me. Just showing support. I've been in a similar situation and wouldn't wish that on anyone. Take care of
