  3. General question about which Stethoscope and Shoes :)

    krisiepoo replied to nasam's topic in General Students

    your school may have info on discounts at local stores, I know that we get a pretty good discount at a uniform shop that I got my stethescope at. I can't remember what stethescope I have, but it was...

  4. Peripheral pulses - I'm not entirely convinced they exist!

    krisiepoo replied to seconddegreebsn's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    can you find them on yourself? I had a hard time with pedal pulses and practiced trying to find them on myself so I had the landmarks on where they should be. I would also find them on friends when...

  5. Dear Cheaters

    krisiepoo replied to RN9742's topic in General Students

    In my eyes, this story in no way depicts a cheater. It depicts someone who forgot how to do a skill they learned in nursing school. I doubt I would be able to recall 100% how to suction a trach...

  8. Is it a bad idea to quit a job before you have another one secured?

    krisiepoo replied to Deetail's topic in Nursing Career

    If you have financial security (6+ months worth) then I don't think it's a big deal, but you'll be questioned about any gaps in your employment (at least I always

  9. To continue on or not?

    krisiepoo replied to HoneySyn's topic in General Students

    A&P felt like such a slog when I was in it but I can't tell you how much it helped me in my actual nursing classes and clinicals (when you get to apply everything you've learned). You NEED the...

  10. Woe is me, if I didn't have allnurses!

    krisiepoo replied to NaCl-ty's topic in General Students

    AN has really helped normalize alot of my feelings and experiences, which has been awesome... especially when you're feeling like you're all alone out there! Wish I would have known about it long...

  11. Question about scheduling...is it the same for you?

    krisiepoo replied to HeatherGurl84's topic in General Nursing

    Full Time does not need to equal 40 hours a week... it's generally desingated for a benefits stand point.. .they're calling you FT, you get benefits based on FT but are working 36

  14. I feel like I am learning to be a nurse on my own.

    krisiepoo replied to MzSS's topic in General Students

    welcome to nursing school :) There is NO way a nursing school can teach you everything you're going to need to know, which is why much of our learning is independent. not only that, but we're only...

  15. I'm going to be drowning in my last semester!

    krisiepoo replied to rubato's topic in General Students

    ps, training for a marathon is the ONLY thing that got me through all the stress... It would NOT be the first thing I gave up since it was the only thing that kept me

  16. Books for class

    krisiepoo replied to Jonny-anderthal's topic in General Students

  17. Accepatnce letter to NS with a catch?!

    krisiepoo replied to Marsha238612's topic in General Students

    krisiepoo replied to SleeepyRN's topic in General Nursing

  21. Things you wish you would have known or had prior to entering nursing school

    krisiepoo replied to DomJo8's topic in General Students

    I was pretty well prepared because my step-mom went through the same program only a few years prior, however, I wish I would have known what a physical and mental toll it took on me. I knew I was...

  22. Hyperglycemia vs. Hypoglycemia

    krisiepoo replied to Ruba's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    however, when I worked in case management I had several people who stroked out d/t hyperglycemia. One had a brain stem stroke, that's pretty darned scary, too. I think 'scary' depends on the...

  23. Dear Cheaters

    krisiepoo replied to RN9742's topic in General Students

    Have you even read through the posts? The WHOLE class is being punished based on the cheaters... you're not paranoid if they're really out there
