  1. So overwhelmed!

    3peas replied to happyinmyheart's topic in General Students

    You'll never read everything assigned EVER. That was hard for me because my main learning style is reading comprehension. Figure out which class really relies on the text readings and read those....

  2. Nursing School and Life

    3peas replied to 2bnursesanders1989's topic in General Students

    Nursing school sucks! You have no control of your time or schedule. But remember you only have 2 months left don't burn out now. If you have set yourself up pretty well with grades you can...

  3. I Want To Be An Over-Achiever

    3peas replied to Generallyspeaking's topic in General Students

    Enjoy your son. I wouldn't even memorize lab values early, because your school will have their own values. I mean all ranges are about the same, but when it comes to an exam know YOUR professors or...

  4. Your Clinic

    3peas replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    Just wondering how many in your student population? 650 prek-5th Also, how big is your clinic, where is it located? I have a very big office. I work in a relatively new building. I have a private...

  5. What did I get myself in to?

    3peas replied to SaltineQueen's topic in School

    I think that's a great question, and that's exactly why we are needed. Not only are we in the schools for medical needs, but we sometimes act as a social worker. Over this much needed break I've...

  6. More Autistic Students

    3peas replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    On my ES campus we have one autistic unit and then I have several medically and educationally diagnosed students with autism in gen ed, and a stack (literal) of students who are waiting to be...

  7. Salary and retirement compared to other RN specialties?

    3peas replied to okiedokie123's topic in School

    Does your degree mean something or do something that's their's doesn't? You're applying to a job in the education world, but expecting or wanting to be paid higher than those who are dominate in the...

  8. Hearing/Vision Screenings

    3peas replied to newnurse92's topic in School

    We do our own screening and do not have help. Each campus has their own audiometers, so that is nice. We start ASAP. I'm in elementary, so I start with my fifth graders because they are familiar...

  9. I feel like I'm going to be fired.

    3peas replied to psmithlove's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It can be very intimidating just starting out. Do you get there early to look at your patient's charts so you are ready to hit the floor and do assessments when your shift starts? I would recommend...

  10. How did you land a school nurse job?

    3peas replied to NewYorkerGirl's topic in School

    In Texas we are divided by regions and some jobs (especially smaller districts) are posted on the regions general website. As some have mentioned I would check districts websites and apply for sub...

  11. Year 1 as a School Nurse

    3peas replied to NanaPoo's topic in School

    It's worked for us-100% grape juice helps when stomach buggies are going around. Feel

  12. Feeling Lonely

    3peas replied to juneybug's topic in General Students

    Dang some people missed the therapeutic communication lecture. I agree with livinnursing a study group could work or just dinner. I think nursing school is extremely isolating. I don't think any of...

  13. Should I quit?

    3peas replied to Lena M's topic in General Students

    Nursing instructors want to scare bajeebees out of you-that's their job. Having some healthy fear is a good thing, too much is a bad thing. If you've been a CNA for years you know how things work on...

  14. Who would you hire?

    3peas replied to iluvsoccer11's topic in General Students

    All roads lead to Mecca. We all chose our path for various reasons and until there is only one path each of us will choose the path that best fits us. Most other professions have one way, we are...

  15. Time management advice

    3peas replied to mbreyes's topic in General Students

    As far as studying for NCLEX-do questions that correspond to your content areas for your exams. That's it. Hit NCLEX heavy at the end of your program. There are plenty of apps, books, programs,...

  16. How have you changed since starting school?

    3peas replied to missmollie's topic in General Students

    I've always been a good communicator, so I didn't see an improvement there. I am now better at prioritizing professionally and personally. There is only so much time in a day, so I have to...

  17. Nursing School books - To Buy or Not To Buy?

    3peas replied to nursecallie's topic in General Students

    I think it depends on your program. Some med-surg classes might refer back to the fundamentals text, but you could borrow a friends if it was minimal. At first I bought everything, I eventually rented...

  18. Passed NCLEX, what I did. Thanks to the allnurses community.

    3peas replied to believer12345's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  19. National Student Nurses Association

    3peas replied to happyinmyheart's topic in General Students

    What I enjoyed most was the volunteering opportunities. We had amazing service projects and it was a great way to get connected and serve my community with my fellow nursing

  20. How to avoid beating yourself up over every little thing

    3peas replied to kaseykeller's topic in General Students

    I Stephalump summed it up beautifully-for me it comes down to negative self talk and I had/have to stop it. I let the goal of beling perfect get in the way of being proficient and teachable at times....

  21. Picu interview/calming interview nerves

    3peas replied to Colleen2515's topic in PICU, Pediatric

    Congratulations!

  22. Children and nursing school

    3peas replied to jeniirr's topic in General Students

    Yes it can be done. I have 3 kids with no family around. We have a nanny who is INCREDIBLE! We found her through a friend, but I was prepared to use one of those babysitting sites. Things that...

  23. Does anyone actually read all the reading assignments?

    3peas replied to vettechtoRN's topic in General Students

    Never! But there are some classes that you have to. The key is to figure out which classes are detailed and the professors pull from the text. It's a guessing at the beginning of class. Get to...

  24. If not a BSN, then what?? Thinking of quitting>>>>

    3peas replied to Seaghdha's topic in General Students

    As a person who put myself through school the first time and in not the best of circumstances I think I get where you coming from. Clearly, you have all of your basics out of the way, so now it's...

  25. Advice..should I stilll take my final?

    3peas replied to kringkring5144's topic in General Students

    Take the finals. Emotions are high right now, but try to step back and think about what you would tell someone in the same situation. Don't throw away your hard work that you can transfer or have on...
