  1. Freezing Up and Going Blank at Clinical

    student4ever replied to WAstudent's topic in General Students

    First off, take a deep breath and relax. You're panicking yourself by concentrating on your nervousness. Tell yourself that you're going through a phase where you don't feel as confident - that's...

  2. Pet Peeves

    student4ever replied to sjb2005's topic in General Nursing

    Bedside commodes being placed in the dirty utility room and left - full of pee - gives off a nice smell after 8-12 hours!! Patients who think it would be funny to go into the public restroom (where we...

  3. Who all is applying this semester for Fall 2006?

    student4ever replied to marilynmom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm applying for the ADN program starting Fall '06. I've taken the NET test, though I'm retaking the reading portion in November, will have all my pre-reqs done or in progress by the time I finish my...

  4. AAAHHHHH!!!!! How does anyone pass A&P I ???

    student4ever replied to onehusbandsevenkids's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A&P takes a LOT of time and effort. Try and sneak in every moment to study - I carry my A&P notebook and textbook everywhere with me, and if I have a few minutes, I pull out my notes and...

  5. how many hours being spent on A & P outside of class

    student4ever replied to o2BRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I study for two hours on MWF, before my soc class starts, and I study usually an hour every night while I'm at work if we have downtime. That doesn't always happen though! And on weekends, I try and...

  6. Failed NET - disappointed :(

    student4ever replied to moonbeamsmom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was an english major before I decided to go into nursing, and wasn't at all worried about the reading part - on the two practice tests I took from the NET study guide, I didn't miss a single...

  7. Competitiveness Grades etc

    student4ever replied to SeekingNur's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The school I'm going to requires: High school Chemistry, Biology, and Algebra English 111 and 112 A&P 1&2 Computer Concepts PSY 230 (developmental psych, human lifespan development) SOC 215...

  8. Change of shift funtime!

    student4ever replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, let's see. How about the night we worked our butts off all night trying to get the ER cleared out - we had a full waiting room and every bed full at 0300. Not sure how we managed it, but at...

  9. Competitiveness Grades etc

    student4ever replied to SeekingNur's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's soooo true! If there were enough instructors, then it wouldn't be so completely cut throat just to get into a nursing program! The program at my school only REQUIRES a 50 on the NET, and a 2.5...

  10. Competitiveness Grades etc

    student4ever replied to SeekingNur's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Nursing is my second go round at college. I never finished the first time around, and I'm bound and determined to do my utmost best, which I know I have never done before. In highschool I was an A/B...

  11. NET test score

    student4ever replied to maggijo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just took the NET this morning and now I have to wait 14 days to find out my score! I think I did pretty well. The math is easier to know if you got it or not, the reading a little more difficult,...

  12. A&P 1: Please help me understand "hypertonic" & "hypotonic"!!

    student4ever replied to JasmineTea's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My teacher explained it this way. Hypertonic solution (hypertonic to the cell for example) means there is more added stuff in it, like previous posters explained. Because the hypertonic solution has...

  13. Ethics Issue: Would you report cheating

    student4ever replied to AllieRat's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My school has an absolute zero tolerance policy on cheating. We have all signed the honor code, and if I see someone cheating and I KNOW they're cheating, I will definitely say something to the...

  14. ***A&P I Fall '05 Club -- Sept Q&A***

    student4ever replied to kayel's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's what our first test was on too. A 77 is not a bad grade, especially for A&P! Did you have a lab practical too? I find the lab practicals to be harder than the lecture tests because it's...

  15. Need help with a question on practice test for A&P

    student4ever replied to stpauligirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You do have enough brain matter! Sometimes it doesn't/won't seem like you do (I know, I question myself constantly!) but you'll get through! Just remember with osmotic pressure, is the concentration...

  16. Algebra problem help needed ASAP!

    student4ever replied to moonbeamsmom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm taking the NET on Wednesday, so I feel your pain! I am lucky that I LOVE algebra - and I am glad you got your question answered! I know you're using the same study guide I've been using, because...

  17. What should I tell my interviewer?

    student4ever replied to Lisa CCU RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with Daytonite. It's always best to make yourself look good in an interview, and to appear as though you really like the program you're interviewing for, I would think that it would be worth...

  18. ***A&P I Fall '05 Club -- Sept Q&A***

    student4ever replied to kayel's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My class uses Hole's book too... and my test on CH. 3&4 is tomorrow! Chapter 4 IS very hard... I have an awesome teacher though, and she makes things REALLY simple to understand. She uses...

  19. Chicken Pox Exposure???

    student4ever replied to JaneyW's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Both my mom and her sister had chicken pox twice. Some people have a hard time building up immunity, thus they are succeptible the second time around. I wouldn't worry too much if your titers show a...

  20. Last names on ID badges and retaliation by patients

    student4ever replied to ICRN2008's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I work in an ER where our name badges have only our first name and our title (RN, LPN, etc.) on the front. The back has our last name, in case it ever got lost I guess... though there's a picture on...

  21. MY FEET HURT Shoe question

    student4ever replied to Banana River's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    These are the BEST shoes for those of us with high arches!!!! Nice firm support, great traction for when someone spills ice and forgets to clean it up... I found mine on Ebay for 80 bucks. These...

  22. Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo Woes

    student4ever replied to Super_RN's topic in General Nursing

    My gyn was a little hesitant at first - she wanted to make sure I knew the risks involved first. If you have ever had a pelvic infection, you cannot have an IUD, or if you have multiple partners or...

  23. What happen to taking Vital Signs???

    student4ever replied to caroladybelle's topic in General Nursing

    The thing that makes me mad is that at my ER, EVERYONE uses the dynamap (or as we call it, the datascope), and until the last week of my training as a tech, I was never taught HOW to do a manual BP,...

  24. Enemas, Catheters , and OTHER embarassing things in nursing school

    student4ever replied to RNinJune2007's topic in General Students

    I'm not even in the clinical program for nursing yet, but I do caths and enemas all the time at my job - and for the most part, it is the patients who are more embarrased than I am. I was embarrassed...

  25. CNA Question

    student4ever replied to Soon2BNurse's topic in General Nursing

    I am a patient care tech, and even though patients often mistake me for their nurse, I ALWAYS correct them. I am currently getting ready to start nursing school, and I know that when I am an RN, I do...
