  1. What is on your Health Bulletin Board right now?

    3peas replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    Science vocabulary words. I just bought a science poster packet and I will switch out posters. I only have a BB in my office. BB are not my fave, but I make up for it in that my office is super...

  2. Study Help?

    3peas replied to lalaland2015's topic in General Students

    I agree with the above poster. You will find professors have to assign reading if they require you to buy a book, but they may never use info from the book to test over. Its our job as the student...

  3. What to expect in my first semester in nursing school?

    3peas replied to The0Walrus's topic in General Students

    They will ask you questions in a way that make you think you're an idiot, but in the end you appreciate it because the goal is to become a critical thinker and pass NCLEX. You will think that you...

  4. Undecided what to do, any advice?

    3peas replied to Lady-2's topic in General Students

    Like you said only you can make the decision. You have to follow your gut. I have made a couple of job changes and I left two "glitzy" jobs for a job that I knew was right for me, but probably not...

    3peas replied to studentnurse931's topic in General Students

    You are a new student nurse and you might not have learned this yet, but you are operating under your states Board of Nursing (BON) as a student nurse who intends to one day apply for a license....

  6. Quitting Nursing School

    3peas replied to lovlina's topic in General Students

    Like you I love the theory of nursing and the intellectual part of it, and I'm currently pursuing a PhD in it. I had to find the right fit of patient care for me and I did (finally). Not everyone is...

  7. Should I do all clinicals at the VA?

    3peas replied to amm105's topic in General Students

    I think it's a great opportunity. You will see more and do more compared to other hospitals. VA's are teaching hospitals and give students more freedom than private hospitals or other university...

  8. I need nursing school advice!!

    3peas replied to Bettyloublu14's topic in General Students

    It's extremely tough. I was a mom when I went through nursing school and there were two times when I thought I needed to quit-both for my children. It was a sacrifice for my family, and I'm not...

  9. Assistance needed! Feeling overly paranoid

    3peas replied to worrywart01's topic in Psychiatric

    I worked on locked units and I have forgotten details such as these. You will not be perfect all of the time. That is why there are 15 minute checks and other safety measures. Don't beat yourself...

  10. I Hate Psych

    3peas replied to b52RN's topic in Psychiatric

    I quit and I didn't wait a year. I'm now in psych and I'm really happy. It's called a job for a reason not vacation-I don't love everything about it, but I'm happy

  11. How Did the Old Woman in a Shoe Do It?

    3peas replied to OldMaleNurse's topic in Psychiatric

    Honestly, you can't take it personal. That's how I do it. And if I find myself getting irritated I take a step back and engage in something else. I also know that I'm the nurse not the therapist....

  12. Night shift and clinicals

    3peas replied to amygrizzard's topic in General Students

    It's not allowed because of patient safety. Each state boards has their own rules. You will be up all night working then report to clinical and and expected to to learn with no sleep. No offense but...

  13. Pros and cons of psych nursing?

    3peas replied to AngelusLapsus's topic in Psychiatric

    How often does one work with a violent/aggressive patient? (daily, weekly, monthly?) We deal with verbally aggressive patients daily, physically aggressive I would say monthly. All of our staff is...

  14. Nclex help and tip please

    3peas replied to Mykidsmylife's topic in General Students

    I'm sorry you are struggling with NCLEX. You will never feel prepared even if you studied 8 hours a day for 3 years straight. Have you committed to a strict study schedule with Kaplan or another...

  15. Prioritizing

    3peas replied to Zooey72's topic in General Students

    Nursing is ALL about prioritization, safety, delegation when appropriate. Your program will teach you how to think like a nurse. Don't panic, you're just starting out. P.S. In the above example...

  16. Tips for starting patho in the fall

    3peas replied to nikkithestudentBSN's topic in General Students

    The only thing I would say is figure out if the instructor utilizes the book more over lecture notes. I'm sure you will be assigned a tremendous amount of reading and if you are taking other courses...

  18. Nurse vs. Kindergarten Teacher?

    3peas replied to JustiPasano's topic in General Students

    I'm a former teacher. I had a job offer to go back to teaching, but made the choice to go back to nursing school because that's what I've always wanted to do. It depends what you want to do. There...

    3peas replied to Nursy-murmur's topic in General Students

    3peas replied to Nurseades2b's topic in General Students

    I am a "study loner" as well, but I studied with people when I felt it was beneficial to me. I had a friend we would meet up every day before exams early in the morning and do the last minute cram....

  24. Failed a syllabus quiz already??

    3peas replied to Tinkk's topic in General Students

    Details matter in nursing but a syllabus quiz will not determine your ability to think like a nurse. Stop beating yourself up. Just think of it like this: everyone experiences a "humbling moment" in...

  25. How do you organize your binders?

    3peas replied to Meldel's topic in General Students

    In my BSN program we took 3 or 4 classes at a time so I brought one binder to school every week to keep all ppts and notes in. It had dividers for every class. Then at home I would transfer them to...
