  1. Support Stickie for New nurses who are not coping

    I'm having a hard time dealing with my job. The stress and frustration is almost unbearable and I feel so overwhelmed at times that it makes me cry. Part of the frustration is with the management. My job started off in a new grad program offered b...
  2. STLCC at Meramec supply list

    Thank you so much for the information. I kind of figured I wouldn't need to have my own bp cuff but just wanted to be sure. My mom has been having issues with her blood pressure lately and was planning on getting one anyway. Just wasn't sure if I ...
  3. STLCC at Meramec supply list

    I was accepted into the Fall 07 but had to defer until Spring 08. I was just wondering if anyone knows what is needed for the program. I want to start getting things early so I'm not stuck getting everything all at once and then pay for classes and...
  4. STLCC at Meramec supply list

    What about stuff like a bp cuff, bandage sissors, pen light, etc. Do you have to get that on your own or does it come in a kit at the book store?
  5. A&P 1 Fall '06 Club!

    Wow, sounds like you guys got it easy. I just had a test over the bones and muscles of the limbs. We had to study all the bones and various points on them, muscles and the origins, insertions and actions, and all the parts of all the joints in the ...
  6. Bought my textbooks... now what???

    The first few chapters are usually just general reviews on concepts used in the class. I always make it a point to read over those chapters. I wish other people would to so we don't spend the first few weeks going over stuff that people should alrea...
  7. What classes are good to take with others?

    I took general psychology and sociology at the same time. The advisor said it was a good idea. Boy was she wrong. The classes were too similar and it got really confusing. My advice is to avoid taking classes of the same type together, especially i...
  8. For Fun: Spiral Notebooks or Binders?

    For lecture, I use a legal tablet for notes then transfer to a 1 subject spiral. I also prefer the pentel RSVP, blue ink, fine point. When i read the book chapters, I use a 3 or 5 subject spiral, (I write down the important points and ideas). Then...
  9. Harrison

    I currently live in St. Louis but recently took a trip to Harrison, Arkansas to visit my boyfriends family and I must say it is a beautiful place. We have considered a move there and I have been looking at North Arkansas College. I was just wonderi...
  10. Getting in to a Nursing Program???

    take advantage of the wait time and get your pre reqs out of the way before you start clinicals. and also, those wait times are not set in stone, you may get in faster than you think. my pre reqs will take me 6 semesters including summer sessions par...

  12. wedding rings at work

    even though im only a student and not even in the process of being married, ive always planned on getting a band tattooed on my ring finger. ive always thought wedding rings were expensive and i tend to lose things so its the best idea ive come up w...
  13. Phone pre-interview

    About 2 weeks ago I got a phone call from someone at a local hospital saying that she wanted to do a screening over the phone for a cna position. She asked me if I was certified and I told her no and she said that was ok and that there was a 4 week ...
  14. What's the weirdest baby name?

    my brother and his girlfriend wanted to name their baby, if it was a girl... Coco Candice... luckily its supossed to be a boy, i really hope so lol
  15. cloth vs disposable diapers

    my mom said she used cloth diapers on me and that it was a whole lot easier. i believe she had used a service for them to. she also tended to let me run around in the backyard without them (apparently i wouldnt keep them on) and since we had dogs.....
  16. Well, the semester is quickly coming to a close, how ya doin?

    if anything i learned one great lesson this semester, dont take psychology with sociology. they go over the same stuff but with different view points and it gets confusing. i also learned the school advisors dont always know what theyre talking abo...
  17. For the eyes of the "older" pre-nursing students only!

    how about when a tv channel actually didnt have something on, and then the colored bars came up with that horrible monotone noise, or the crying indian pollution commercial, or when the emergency broadcast system tests actually made noise.
  18. For the eyes of the "older" pre-nursing students only!

    I'm only 22 and that makes me feel old!!! Mork and Mindy was my fav show when i was little, i used to play with the tape in cassettes, we still cook popcorn on the stove and i remember arsenal hall on late night tv.

  20. are they serious ?

    I remember when i was little, we would always get phone calls from the nursing home my great grandma was in saying she wandered off. It happened so much we knew exactly where to look for her. We live in St. Louis and before we had to put her in the h...
  21. Judge Judy disses nursing

    maybe its just me, but i interpret this as her being relieved hes not in school to be a doctor, totally disreguarding the mention of nursing.
  22. I think I have just been getting a bad batch of teachers. In my psychology class, the teacher gives us a presentation assignment and says "all you need to do is give an overview of the topic". When presentation time comes around, in the middle of s...
  23. Nurses are overpaid!

  24. You're going to Community College?

    I go to a community college and am darn proud of it. I would much rather pay $78 a credit hour instead of $1200+ at the other colleges around here. It's all the same education in my opinion. And the CC is much closer to home. I will however have ...
  25. Where do I start??

    I just signed up for the nursing program at meramec and the waiting list is 2 years. That's fine with me because I go part time and can have all my non core classes out of the way before in the waiting period so when I start the core classes I'll on...
