  1. The "just graduating" nurse

    bagface replied to bagface's topic in General Students

    This is me exactly!! I don't ever say anything about it but last night I saw 6 "friends" posting it and it reminded me of May all over again, then I started to get that irritated feeling. I'm sure...

  2. Day shift nurses: what do you eat for breakfast?

    bagface replied to Morainey's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I hate breakfast actually. I make a smoothie in the mornings though and at least eat something that gets me through lunch. I use carnation breakfast essentials (milk chocolate is my favorite but...

  3. Any luck fighting PA BON?

    bagface replied to gradrn1's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Can I ask who told you it was too late for a pardon? I only ask because I worked in a courthouse for about 6 months specifically working on criminal cases and keeping paperwork updated/distributed...

  6. 23 Days Until School

    bagface posted a topic in General Students

    I have a countdown. Is this odd? This is my first summer I've had "off" of school in three years (I usually always took 1-2 classes during the summer), but after last semester I NEEDED a break. I'm...

  7. FOOOOOOOOOD - What snacks/meals do you have for clinicals?

    bagface posted a topic in General Students

    What snacks do you pack for clinicals? I'm a pretzel and cheese girl myself... salt is my go to when I'm running around all the time. What about meals? Do you eat with the rest of the "dining out"...

  8. Nursing School Bag - Vera Bradley

    bagface replied to musaafirah's topic in General Students

    I agree with pp.. I wouldn't spend money on either of those bags for nursing school. As someone who just finished their first semester of clinical NS I had NINE nursing books that frequently needed...

  9. medication mismanagement?

    bagface replied to Eyerly's topic in Patient Medications

    I'm a nursing student and have noticed our nurses are NOT allowed to do substitutions without a direct order (even if it's like what you described). Although believe me, the nurses are extremely vocal...

  10. Study while commuting???

    bagface replied to Pipestone's topic in General Students

    I also have the livescribe pen and LOVE it. I believe you can print your own dot paper for it too, though I personally have not tried that. The notebooks are about $25 for a pack of 4 on amazon. If...

  11. Why the heck do I have to be assertive???

    bagface replied to JaRoJoCT's topic in General Students

    I agree with a lot of the PP.. eventually you will come out of your shell. I used to be shy, always listening rarely talking, etc. Then I started to work at 911 and the real world hit me like a ton of...

  12. Am I the only one who hates 12 hour shifts?

    bagface replied to jdubs99's topic in General Nursing

    At 911 we switched to 12 hour shifts.. except they broke it into a two week setting. You work 5 days one week and 2 another, that way they never have to pay overtime . I guess that's why a ton of...

  13. What type of shoes do you buy?

    bagface replied to Brian's topic in Nursing Humor

    This sounds odd.. I've been buying payless shoes that wear out after about 3 months. They are only $10. Our shoes (since were still in school) need to be white. Does anyone have suggestions for a size...

  14. Extremely Overweight Nurses

    bagface replied to WonderousIvy's topic in Nursing Career

    Personally speaking, I care for so many others that I often do not have time to care for myself. I work full time, I am in school full time, and I have a three year old, a husband, and a fluffy dog...

  15. Is night shift healthier for some people?

    bagface replied to s0ad's topic in General Nursing

    I worked night shift for several years at 911 and loved it. The hardest part was that 0400 lull when things got slow and didn't pick up again until 0600. Basically it was SILENT in our comm center...

  17. Things I wish I would have known when starting Nursing School

    bagface replied to DisneyNurseGal's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Organization. Organization. Organization. Get a calendar, mark study times/tests/projects/clinicals/etc!! Not only does writing it down help, but make sure you LOOK at your calendar so nothing sneaks...

  18. Older workers that are new grad nurses, please explain.

    bagface replied to wish_me_luck's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I was a 911 operator and that taught me how to handle high stress situations and prioritize calls. That's a non-health care field and it has transferred very nicely on my resume, most managers like to...

  19. Tattoos/Piercings in the workplace?

    bagface replied to __patiently_waiting's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I love seeing ink on people. Personally I would never get one because I don't have anything artistically interesting that I want on me for the rest of my life. However I do enjoy seeing and hearing...

  20. Older workers that are new grad nurses, please explain.

    bagface replied to wish_me_luck's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    :sits and eats popcorn: Funniest thread I've read all night. Honestly.. nobody here is changing the OP's mind.. she's set in her ways. But feel free to keep discussing because this is extremely...

  21. I need some inspiration & encouragement!

    bagface replied to Serendipity27's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm 27, I work full time, I have a three year old son, a husband, and a huge dog with tons of energy. I think when you want something you just go for it.. seriously. I've had tons of things try to...

  22. I'm turning 25 soon and I want to be a nurse, am I kidding myself?

    bagface replied to christinem2388's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm 27. I have a 3 year old son, a husband (aka second son.. sometimes), and a huge fluffy dog with LOTS of energy. Yes I only get 4 hours of sleep on a good night during the semester, but it's worth...

  23. Students who have the summer off: Do you study anything or brush up on past material?

    bagface replied to EP10's topic in General Students

    I'm an information hoarder. Seriously. I keep all my notes and everything. During the summer I will usually go through my notes and read them once or twice. Only takes like an hour, and once I read...

  24. Anatomy and Physiology

    bagface replied to Dezi919's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with pp that you tube is helpful. I would take pictures of the bones and go home and immediately put words to them, do flash cards, etc. With muscles I had a coloring book (this also helped me...

  25. Ap is kicking my ***

    bagface replied to TKeith8109's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I LOVED A&P!! It was my A&P II prof that I looooathed. I think you'll find that bonding with your fellow classmates will make it more reasonable. For us we created a facebook study group, we...
