  1. Embarrassed and depressed

    augurey replied to beezwax404's topic in General Students

    First, sorry about your break up and none of this makes you a loser. Were you living with your girlfriend at the time she suggested it? While I didn't move back in with my parents, nursing school or...

  2. mommy guilt

    augurey replied to KThurmond's topic in General Students

    How old is he? Mine are 2 and almost 3 months. When I first started my oldest had just turned 1. They are both in daycare all day while I'm either in class or studying (then have an evening class - 2...

  3. Calling all non-traditional nursing students!!!

    augurey replied to ShontaFutureBSN's topic in General Students

    This is my last week of classes and finals next week (first semester). I have a very high A in A&P and am borderline A/B in fundamentals. I'm just under an A, but if I can get a 91 or better on...

  4. Your Motivation

    augurey replied to la_chica_suerte85's topic in General Students

    For me, it was something I was interested when I was 11 (because I wanted to help people). I struggled in high school with depression (from parent's divorce). I entered a medical assisting program my...

  5. Didn't disclose

    augurey replied to christinarae's topic in General Students

    I know that with my school (not sure if all are like that), but they said if there is anything on your record, talk to them. They preferred students saying something before their background check came...

  6. Lost computer files

    augurey replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    ... I've not even considered backing anything up ... I guess I know what I'm doing over break! So sorry this happened to you. I've lost stuff before, but not to a great extent (still upsetting,, but...

  7. Let the Countdown Begin

    augurey replied to AspiringNurseMW's topic in General Students

    Yay! Exciting! My last day is December 11. I had my last clinical today - received my evaluation and passed! Today is the last day of the week for classes for Thanksgiving break. Next week I have 2...

  8. Nursing School and motherhood

    augurey replied to shantelmorgan's topic in General Students

    It's hard and the guilt comes easily, but like everyone else said, it's temporary. I had to send my son to daycare at 4 weeks old (spent his 3rd week with my MIL) so that I could go back to school. It...

  9. Struggling with nursing diagnosis

    augurey replied to augurey's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    There was a change in mental status at one point. A head CT was done to see if there were any changes from the initial head/brain CT (no changes). Blood pressure has ranged from normal (lowest...

  10. Struggling with nursing diagnosis

    augurey posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I've been going back and forth on which diagnoses fit best. There are some that seem important, but when I relate it back to the patient, it seems weak. The ones that seem to relate back to the...

  11. An amazing clinical

    augurey posted a topic in General Students

    It's not that there was anything special or extraordinary about the day, but it was a good day. I was very nervous before starting clinicals. I'm the shy/introvert that couldn't even order my own...

  12. Almost Done?? Who else?

    augurey replied to mrsboots87's topic in General Students

    Not me, but congrats! That's really exciting :) I'm sure it'll feel amazing knowing that all of your hard work paid

  13. School problem!!!

    augurey replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    Hm. For those that are premed, if they are included in this, I really hope they grow up before becoming a doctor or that they choose another major. Not that anyone should be behaving in such a way. I...

  14. Travel Nursing After School

    augurey replied to dominiquejade's topic in General Students

    I'd love to do this, but I can't imagine it'd work out with a family or to really be able to have more kids. I know families can go (and you pay their portion - or something like that), but I think...

  15. What are my chances of getting into NIUs program for fall 2016

    augurey replied to honeyforasalteyfish's topic in School, College Programs

    Definitely give it a shot, especially if they say that the minimum gpa may be lower. When I applied to my school, it was very unlikely that I would get in, but I still applied anyway and got in. You...

  16. clinical breakdown

    augurey replied to olivianurse's topic in General Students

    I think that the nurse complaining within earshot of any student was wrong. I'm sure it can be frustrating at times for nurses with students on the floor, but she should have waited until students...

  17. Single Mother Beggining School in 2016

    augurey replied to Mariahseymour1's topic in General Students

    Do you have family / friends close by? I would really start by getting a good support system in place. Will someone be able to help you out if your child is sick and you have class? Child care? Even...

  18. Meeting patient the day before clinical

    augurey posted a topic in General Students

    It was suggested that we introduce ourselves to the patient the day before clinical, especially so we can find out if they are going to be discharged so that we can be re-assigned before doing all of...

  19. Meeting patient the day before clinical

    augurey replied to augurey's topic in General Students

    ^^Our school is attached to the hospital, so we're fortunate to be able to pop in and then go straight to the school to access the charts (strict security and policies). I think that makes a huge...

  20. Jealous Friends...

    augurey replied to Upward_Bound's topic in School, College Programs

    Do you have any siblings? When I was little, I "copied" everything my older brother did. Even down ordering the same food that he did. Every time. It irritated him. I did it because he was older and...

  21. Meeting patient the day before clinical

    augurey replied to augurey's topic in General Students

    Thank you for everyone's input! I did just stick to the basics and was really only in there a couple of minutes. I actually felt like it helped me with the following day. I don't know if that helped...

    augurey replied to augurey's topic in General Students

    Thank

  23. Unexpected pregnancy in nursing school?!

    augurey replied to brie8989's topic in General Students

    Mine was unexpected, though delivered at the beginning of the first semester, but I still had to get clearance from my doctor to return to class and clinical. They just might require a note from...

  24. Does the school you choose even really matter anymore?

    augurey replied to LPNtoRNin2016OH's topic in General Students

    Sounds like we may be going to the same school (different location) as the hospital it's affiliated with is also one of the largest hospital systems and know they have a few locations Maybe not, but...

  25. Does the school you choose even really matter anymore?

    augurey replied to LPNtoRNin2016OH's topic in General Students

    It does matter still. I can't speak for all areas, but in my area (also Ohio), I'd be less likely to get a job with a degree from a non-accredited school. My cousin, who lives in a different area,...
