    I think you are right. Writing after working long shifts is difficult. I have had a few days off due to my surgery and I feel like I am writing much easier. And no need for alcohol!!...

    Thanks Derk, not really worried. I can be a little sarcastic at times. In my mind I think the instructor should have the class set up by now because isn't that what the preview is for? Maybe I am...

    Logged in this morning to do my last discussion response and got a little fed up. Reading some of the discussion posts to determine which one to respond to is grating on my nerves. Everyone is just...

    Just an update, I think everything will work out. I got a proof of the final project and it looks pretty good. Not how I would have completed it but good enough to turn in. I wonder how much arm...

    How long do you wait from graduating nursing school to further your education?

    rob4546 replied to kyski's topic in General Students

    I agree that you should do it ASAP, but I would wait till you are through your orientation in your new job (if you are hired of course). That was a wild 3 months that wore me out. I graduated in May...

    Practice on each other?

    rob4546 replied to mae0218's topic in General Students

    We practiced everything on each other except genital exams and foleys. I even let a fellow student try to drop a NG tube on me in class. I wanted to know how it felt before I had to do it on one of...

    Failed final semester. Advice?

    rob4546 replied to xbananachipsx's topic in General Students

    Everyone should take note of this little nugget of information. Nursing is so much more than procedures. Nursing is planning for the future while being planted in the present. Take in all available...

    Affordable Drug Book for Pharm

    rob4546 replied to Shurri07's topic in General Students

    Amazon. Look for a current drug book and get the previous version used. They don't usually change much. There might be new drug not in there but the chances are you will not need to reference...

    She hasn't dropped, she still posts on the forum. Her posts are always late in the weekend so I am hoping she has worked on the powerpoint Sunday and has it done. Will look tonight and see. I will...

    What are your BEST tips on being successful in an ADN program????

    rob4546 replied to JerseyJade's topic in General Students

    Agree with this. Hope it isn't only a guy thing. Nursing school is really busy and challenging but I can't say it was hard. Learn the information, specifically the relationships between topics and...

    rob4546 replied to tokmom's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I think it would be best to clarify with the instructor. My current instructor wants 300 word minimum initial DQ post (not including references) and 200 word minimum for responses. I have been...

    clinical instructor problem or is it me?

    rob4546 replied to studentnurse162484's topic in General Students

    I think that the 'S-' was given because she does have faith in you and didn't want to sink you with a 'U'. Get back on the horse and do this. Later in your career you will look back on this and...
