  1. I Bombed My Physiology Exam

    GeneralJinjur replied to carlasbizz's topic in General Nursing

    Definitely talk to your college's career center and get an assessment. If you consistently struggle with the science classes, nursing school will be difficult. OTOH, if this was an isolated...

  2. Very depressed & q for older students

    GeneralJinjur replied to Christine43's topic in General Students

    I'm so sorry that you're missing your planned start date. We have a saying at our school regarding childcare: "Have a backup for your backup." I hope this extra year gives you time to get an...

  3. Do you know any nursing school without doing interview?

    GeneralJinjur replied to paxpax79's topic in California Nursing

    I would not let one bad experience limit your school choices. A&P refers to Anatomy and Physiology class. It's complex, with lots of

  4. Nasty LPNS AND RNS TO STUDENTS

    GeneralJinjur replied to Lpnmandy's topic in General Nursing

    You and I are at about the same point in our schooling, so I feel pretty comfortable sharing that I think you're going about this the wrong way. You admit that you unnecessarily added work to this...

  5. Waiting Lists

    GeneralJinjur replied to 364unbirthdays's topic in General Students

    My wait was 3 years. I completed my BSN prereqs while on the list. I planned to apply for the BSN when I was done, but my number came up so I decided not to gamble on maybe making it into the BSN...

  6. diabetic nephropathy .... help me pls.

    GeneralJinjur replied to hershey.sarah's topic in General Students

    Here's a nice explanation of how it works. You might be better off looking up glomerulonephritis and relating it to diabetes....

  7. 1st year student with a slight fear of needles

    GeneralJinjur replied to rach_006's topic in General Students

    If it helps, when I watched my dad get his finger sutured (very lucky chain saw accident), I ended up in his guerney with oxygen on! It was terribly embarassing, especially since the staff and I had...

  8. Level of intelligence

    GeneralJinjur replied to Divest's topic in General Nursing

    I find the flunky nurses inspirational. If they can make it through nursing school, so can I! I have no doubt I'll feel differently when we are co-workers.

  9. Paying for Nursing School

    GeneralJinjur replied to cheertt2's topic in General Nursing

    I'm doing an ADN with Pell Grants. There's a little state grant attached and together, they just cover books and tuition. For any financial aid, you will need to go to fafsa.edu to apply. I do it...

  10. Age you will/were graduated?

    GeneralJinjur replied to sweetiez's topic in General Students

    I will be

  11. Pre-Reading?

    GeneralJinjur replied to TaraRae123's topic in General Students

    This will be my first semester with serious pre-reading out of the way. I'm almost halfway through the med-surg reading. We're in our first week of classes and I feel so much more at ease. I read...

  12. I made it

    GeneralJinjur replied to intuition's topic in General Students

    Way to

  13. Family Planning around Nursing School

    GeneralJinjur replied to ProudRN2B's topic in General Students

    I had hyperemesis with all of my pregnancies. My first baby also involved pre-eclampsia and HELLP syndrome with a 29 week delivery. I realize that not everyone starts out mothering with such a bang,...

  14. Are you a competitive Nursing Student?

    GeneralJinjur replied to VidaUrbana's topic in General Students

    I like friendly competition and I hate seeing my fellow students do badly. It would be fun to compete more aggressively with someone, but I absolutely do not want to hurt anyone's feelings. I have...

  15. I wish I had studied this before Nursing 101.......

    GeneralJinjur replied to twins2005's topic in General Students

    No freaking out allowed, LOL. It's not hard math, it just requires you to be methodical. I'm not good at math, either, but the majority of clinical calculation is stuff you learned in the 4th grade....

  16. A nurse should have at least 5 years exp before NP school

    GeneralJinjur replied to MikeyBSN's topic in General Nursing

    Since I have zero healthcare experience, 5 years of practicing as an RN is my minimum before I move to NP school. Plus, I'd like to move around a bit before deciding where to specialize. It's nice...

  17. I wish I had studied this before Nursing 101.......

    GeneralJinjur replied to twins2005's topic in General Students

    Math is important. The continuation of someone's life will depend on your math skills. :) I'd also brush up on hormones and their effects, especially the ones that link together, like...

  18. Students with children

    GeneralJinjur replied to Jennifer7076's topic in General Students

    I have 3 kids and I totally agree about finding sick care. My 4yo threw up all night before my first day of class and they've each had something at least once a month since. We just started our...

  19. Low O2 sat

    GeneralJinjur replied to Liz21's topic in General Students

    This depends on the patient and your altitude. In Colorado, we're happy with a 93. OTOH, if it's a patient with emphysema, you don't want them saturated at 100%. That may be what your Assessment...

  20. Easy instructors vs. difficult instructors

    GeneralJinjur replied to tfleuter's topic in General Students

    I have seen this several times in my first semester. Having an easy prereq teacher does you no favors (and I am so glad mine were tough). I think you'll be happy to see how much you retain when you...

  21. What mantra is getting you through nursing school?

    GeneralJinjur replied to MySimplePlan's topic in General Students

    Funny how many of us are quoting a fish! I hear her chirpy little song in my head a lot. Lately, mine has been, "Sure, I could put off/skip that reading, but what will make me happier on test day?"...

  22. Nursing Math 109

    GeneralJinjur replied to smiley777's topic in General Students

    I'm not a math-intuitive person, either. Does your school have a math tutoring lab? If not, how about your local high school? If you could find someone who explains math in a way that clicks for...

  23. Are there any future nursing professors out there?

    GeneralJinjur replied to Mariposa2009's topic in General Students

    Yes, this is in my post-Masters life plan. Though I think I'd like to be a clinical instructor in about 5 years or

  24. Waiting Lists

    GeneralJinjur replied to colta's topic in General Students

    I remember when I first decided to pursue nursing. I read about it in one of those "Jobs of the 2000s" books and liked the fact that I could get a good job with only a 2 year degree. Um, yeah. 3...

  25. Injections practice?

    GeneralJinjur replied to NurseStudentHusband's topic in General Students

    My school suggested testing IMs on raw chicken breast. They sent us home with little baggies of supplies to practice with. I'd like to make some garlic water to inject in the chicken.
