  1. Sharing personal information in class

    MountainBikeChick replied to ceasarandsushi's topic in General Students

    I would say yes- always filter! Over the first semester I became close friends with a couple ladies and wouldn't filter with them now, but with everyone else, yes. My husband has a history of...

  2. Nursing Student need extra cash?!

    MountainBikeChick replied to ms_nurse92's topic in General Students

    What's the reason for this survey? I'm a nanny/babysitter in nursing school and make a lot of money. I work per diem at my hospital but don't get many hours so supplement it! I say yes or no on a week...

  3. Paper (Yes, I know I shouldn't sweat the small stuff...)

    MountainBikeChick replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Students

    I noticed the price increase on paper as well! I remember it being like 4/$1 as a kid during August and folders being 10/$1. And notecards are super expensive as well. It's

  4. Maternity Scrubs

    MountainBikeChick posted a topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Any advice for maternity scrubs? I was thinking of just wearing my regular bottoms with a belly band, but was wondering if anyone had experience with ones that have a full panel. I have a half sleeve...

  5. Maternity Scrubs

    MountainBikeChick replied to MountainBikeChick's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Ava, I will definitely be looking into the stretch waist! That sounds exactly like what I need. cs1031rn, that is a great idea for a top! I don't have a scrub jacket, but that sounds WAY better than...

  6. Maternity Scrubs

    MountainBikeChick posted a topic in General Students

    (Also posted this in the scrubs forum under the 'Nurses' topic, but that board seems like it's seldom visited, and I'm a student!) Anyone have experience with maternity scrubs? Mainly bottoms. I'm...

  7. Maternity Scrubs

    MountainBikeChick replied to MountainBikeChick's topic in General Students

    mrsboots, that sounds like exactly what I need! I can never get my tie string tight enough, so maybe it would be helpful with some stretch as well. HouTX, that's a good idea! My current problem it...

  8. How Much Study & Prep Time to Allow for 1st Year Clinicals?

    MountainBikeChick replied to SeattleJess's topic in General Students

    For my clinicals, we had to go to the facility the night before to get their patient info. Then we'd have to organize the info we got, understand their medical diagnose inside and out, and look up all...

  9. What to wear to lab/clinical training.

    MountainBikeChick replied to studentnursemon86's topic in General Students

    I second this. Even if you are allowed to wear flip-flops, just skim 'em. Definitely not professional, and as silly as it seems, you should look somewhat professional everyday in class! Your teachers...

  10. Managing money and student loans

    MountainBikeChick replied to Jfulton006's topic in General Students

    ASN as in an ASSOCIATES?! I agree with previous posters, that is just an insane amount and I can't believe banks would even let you take out that much. I'm not allowed to go over 50,000 or so for my...

  11. Nursing school and new mommy?

    MountainBikeChick replied to jls0052's topic in General Students

    I am pregnant and already in the nursing program (just started second semester of 5) and am due Feb 2015! That will be the middle of third semester, but hoping all goes well so I can give birth mid...

  12. 2nd year nurs student, "single" mother of 5...help!

    MountainBikeChick replied to lallybroch's topic in General Students

    I have no idea how to comprehend how difficult your situation is, as I'm only pregnant with my fist babe! BELIEVE you can do it. be confident. Try to plan things ahead of time, while he's home. Even...

  13. Making Headway

    MountainBikeChick replied to SeanPN777's topic in General Students

    Congrats, that is really

  14. Annnnnd it happened anyways...

    MountainBikeChick replied to MountainBikeChick's topic in General Students

    If it worked that way, suanna, I would be SO happy! futurenurse1211, I'm happy to hear about another good induction story! That's a pretty short labor as it is, especially if it was your first. My...

  15. Annnnnd it happened anyways...

    MountainBikeChick replied to MountainBikeChick's topic in General Students

    You are correct GabbyRN, I would never choose to have a medical induction unless necessary! I'm glad to hear yours went so well, though, it gives me hope in case I have to have one. mrsboots87, I...

  16. Annnnnd it happened anyways...

    MountainBikeChick replied to MountainBikeChick's topic in General Students

    You guys are seriously so awesome! zoubisoubisou: My school is not as lenient as a lot of other schools I read about on AN! My cohort is only 30 people, with our clinicals split up into three groups...

  17. Annnnnd it happened anyways...

    MountainBikeChick replied to MountainBikeChick's topic in General Students

    Thank you guys! I'm really looking forward to this next year of my life. :) And cracklingkraken, I will definitely keep my stress levels down! Already have my soothing essential oils

  18. [POLL] is it a reason to NOT pursue nursing anymore?

    MountainBikeChick replied to ionelaitou's topic in General Students

    My guess is that if you are getting Cs and Ds, you aren't learning the material anyways. So why would you continue? So you can go on to fail your final test (whatever is comparable to NCLEX) or treat...

  19. Nursing School Orientation Day

    MountainBikeChick replied to guest07/14/15's topic in General Students

    Haaaaahaha, free stuff? Like other commenters, that didn't happen. They didn't even have extra pens for those who forgot theirs. Basically we filled out a million pages of paperwork (after we'd...

  20. Case study books with answers

    MountainBikeChick replied to Just_Kidney's topic in General Students

    I use the Davis Q & A Success series (there are 3 - Fundamentals, Med-Surg, and Pharm) and absolutely love them! They come with a CD with question so you can easily do them and read all the...

  21. Nannying during nursing school

    MountainBikeChick replied to lala2017's topic in General Students

    I nanny/babysit and LOVE it! It's really nice to 'pick and choose' my hours. I have 3-5 families I consistently babysit for, and I just tell them at the beginning of each semester that I won't commit...

  22. What Do You Eat?

    MountainBikeChick replied to tbbtpeach's topic in General Students

    I usually drink a smoothie for breakfast with fruit, (raw) milk, and greens like spinach or kale. I'm also a 'weirdo' (I follow the paleo lifestyle) so I like bone broth (beef bones that were simmered...

  23. Top challenges of being a nursing student!

    MountainBikeChick replied to dotdotcurve33's topic in General Students

    My top challenge is being in a nursing program that expect school to be your ONLY priority. At the beginning of the program, they told us we shouldn't work at all, expect to lose friendships, etc....

  24. Any student / RN athletes here?

    MountainBikeChick replied to Little_Bear2013's topic in General Students

    I ride mountain bikes and do heavy lifting. Last semester was my first semester in the nursing program, and I managed to still do something physical at least 5 days a week. Most of my classmates were...

  25. Harder to have a new baby in school, or as a new nurse?

    MountainBikeChick posted a topic in General Students

    I've searched a million posts on allnurses and elsewhere on the internet about having a baby in nursing school. Of course almost everyone says to wait! But what about those of you who waited to get...
