    Does anyone actually read all the reading assignments?

    CajunShrimp84 replied to vettechtoRN's topic in General Students

    Read! At least skim through if you don't feel like intently reading everything. Also, Google the VARK test and see what kind of learner you are. It will give you ideas of ways to study that work...

    CajunShrimp84 replied to Sammy Jankis's topic in General Students

    The quantitative math class you were taking would NOT have helped you take the ACT anyway because they are so totally different. Quantative & Literary Math was basically "relating math to everyday...

    It's all personal preference, but I tend to get hot easily and I couldn't handle the Wonderwinks. Like I said, I love the Smitten brand because they are light, flexible, and allow air circulation....

    CajunShrimp84 replied to Guttercat's topic in General Nursing

    I was a good kid growing up so I didn't realize that I could have bargained/threatened for more money. I was always a little naive growing

    CajunShrimp84 replied to Guttercat's topic in General Nursing

    No, they have some that have the indicator on the cap. My brother used to have a pot problem so my parents used these on him a few times (and I would pee for him because that's what good little...

    CajunShrimp84 replied to Guttercat's topic in General Nursing

    Drive to your nearest WalMart, CVS, Walgreens, etc and buy a drug test. Take it home & pee and see what it says...then you can go from there by either having piece of mind or knowing it is...

    They weren't scratchy so much as just feeling thick & not breathable. I love the Smitten brand scrubs that are a blended fabric with spandex & are wonderful &

    CajunShrimp84 replied to applesxoranges's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I tried them on & they seemed kinda hot to me...like the fabric didn't allow much air circulation. I live in Texas though, so I am always concerned about scrubs feeling too

    Plan B for if you Fail/Get Kicked out of Nursing School? I may need help with this.

    CajunShrimp84 replied to Athariel's topic in General Students

    I mean this in the most sincere way, but I know that it might sound bad...If you don't see the patients as people, but rather you see them as objects to learn from, why not look into being a medical...

    CajunShrimp84 replied to chiasmus100's topic in General Students

    How does your tattoo play into nursing? I have 5 tattoos (none visible in scrubs) but of course want more. I was just curious how that has worked for you in nursing, if you always have to wear long...

    Does drinking more water make you thirstier?

    CajunShrimp84 replied to No Stars In My Eyes's topic in General Nursing

    I've had a great GI doc before, but that was when I was younger & lived in Florida. Once I moved back to Texas, I haven't gotten one because I haven't really needed one until about a year ago....

    I actually only vomit when laying on my side, not on my back...so hopefully I won't aspirate. I am looking for a new GI doctor now, so maybe I can figure this out. No Stars In My Eyes: I love the dog...
