  3. Having a boyfriend while in nursing school....

    RNinJune2007 replied to sheridan3456's topic in General Students

    Personally, my boyfriend has been my ROCK throughout nursing school. But then again, I had been with him for two years already when I was beginning N.S, so I can't vouch for the fact that you can GET...

  4. Prioritizing list of diagnoses

    RNinJune2007 replied to missninaRN's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    So, in a case with two priority DX's such as Chronic or Acute pain and Impaired Skin Integrity, am I right in my thinking that the pain is first, THEN the impaired skin integrity? This prioritization...

    RNinJune2007 replied to RNinJune2007's topic in Nursing Career

    Thanks for all the suggestions! I fixed the email up, and sent it out to the NM and attached a letter of recommendation written by an employer (I've been caring for her children for three years so I...

    RNinJune2007 replied to Amxixi29's topic in General Students

    Hello! I am also a fellow Nursing (RN) student who looks MUCH younger than I am I am 19, and will graduate at the same age and I look 15-16 IF I'M LUCKY! I've never had any problems with patients...

  8. Thoughts on Apple's Mac

    RNinJune2007 replied to shippoRN's topic in General Students

    I bought an Apple iBook last August (05) and absolutely adore it! We have 2 PC's in the house (both are my parent's... I would NOT use one if it were my choice!) which are filled with spyware, popups...

  9. Do you really drop a letter grade?

    RNinJune2007 replied to tanner523's topic in General Students

    In my case, I've dropped two! I was a 4.0 student with about 24 credit hours of pre-reqs, and then got a C for three semesters in Nursing School (and killed myself doing just that). This semester,...

  10. I don't get the MA deal...

    RNinJune2007 replied to allthingsbright's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry, but this is offensive. While I realize that you may have felt deceived, by them telling you it would be a nurse, that doesn't seem like the reason that you are mad. MA's are highly qualified...

  11. What is your passing percentile?

    RNinJune2007 replied to Achoo!'s topic in General Students

    I second Land64Shark's comment about NCLEX... My school's passing percentile is 80% and our NCLEX pass rate is 100%. When comparing with other local schools (who have a lower passing percentile),...

  12. What is your passing percentile?

    RNinJune2007 replied to Achoo!'s topic in General Students

    Ours is 80%. It has been that way since I've been there, and for many, many years. 92-100 is A, 86-91 B, 80-85 C... anything below is failing. I've come close twice, but both times, I've pulled myself...

  13. 2 patients/clinicals

    RNinJune2007 replied to FNPhopeful's topic in General Students

    Personally, I found it easier to give care to two patients. We didn't start that until third semester, though. I thought it was easier because (usually) when you do something on the first patient, you...

    RNinJune2007 replied to Metron's topic in Health, Stress Management

    DGCLOUGH, My MD has me a prescription for Methylphenidate (Ritalin) 10 mg (but I could use an upped dose) BID PRN. One prescription (of a month... so 60 pills) has lasted me from May through now (and...

  15. Nurses with ADD/ADHD?

    RNinJune2007 replied to Metron's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I have been diagnosed with Adult onset ADD. I am still in nursing school, and take Methylphenidate (very small 10mg dose) for classes only. I do not take anything on the floor, and do not have ANY...

  16. Do you have a GED?????

    RNinJune2007 replied to nurse4theplanet's topic in General Nursing

    Not only do I not have a high school diploma, I also don't have a GED. I "finished" high school @ age 15 by choice. I was getting nowhere. My AP (college level) classes I took then I was getting an...

    Hi, I am a second to last semester nursing student, and we are starting to interview for our post-graduate (and obviously post-licensure) positions as RNs. I am determined to get a position in one of...

  20. Getting ORganized?

    RNinJune2007 replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in General Students

    OH, BY the way, I am with the CLEAR BINDER mindset too! Having my schedule on the outside is so helpful! On one side, I put my class schedule, in the other side, I put clinical schedule. As the...

  21. Getting ORganized?

    RNinJune2007 replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in General Students

    I use a simple (3") 3 ring binder, with dividers. In the front, I have enough clear page protectors for each page of my syllabus, and keep it there (because you end up flipping through it so often,...

  22. Best watch for clinicals?

    RNinJune2007 replied to moonischasingme1's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I got a "Dickies" (brand) black watch from walmart for ten bucks. Hadn't thought about the bacteria factor until now, but makes me want to get a new watch!

  23. Carolinas College of Health Sciences

    RNinJune2007 replied to manofbess's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I am a Mercy Student (a "sister" school to CCHS, since both are under the CHS system), but have taken two classes through CCHS. They definitely graduate more students than us, and I've heard good...

  24. How many don't make it out?

    RNinJune2007 replied to LadyEJ BSN, RN's topic in General Students

    Generally start with 45 end with 10-15 (not all from the same beginning semester). We have a 100% NCLEX rate (for a couple years), so I guess that's the reason... they weed the other ones out before...

  25. The dreaded panty line.......

    RNinJune2007 replied to colleen10's topic in General Students

    Shannon, When you see someone who "breaks" the rules, you'll understand why they have them. It only takes one circumstance of "cheeks" fully visible through the scrubs before it would be put into...
