  1. I want 2 be a nurse, but I'm scared!!!

    GeneralJinjur replied to MOM2BOYS0902's topic in General Students

    I'm nearly through my first semester of nursing school and I think you'll be okay. All the prereqs serve to give you a familiarity with the material. There will be some review in the textbooks and...

  2. Kind of bummed...My 4.0 is ruined

    GeneralJinjur replied to midnight*sky's topic in General Students

    I just got an 84 on a Fundamentals test. It's the first C I've ever received. It's a very weird feeling and I can totally commiserate.

  3. Danskos and Bad ankles

    GeneralJinjur replied to ChinUp's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    This pretty well sums it up. I have wimpy ankles from multiple sprains and I love my Danskos. I have turned my foot a couple of times in the past few years, but the foot protection is worth the...

  4. Nursing School

    GeneralJinjur replied to Aimee0106's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like you're pretty interested in nursing school since you've already worked out how to make it happen. I definitely agree with the others that you're better off getting the degree now,...

  5. Time requirements - Assoc. vs. Bachelors?

    GeneralJinjur replied to LovesGreyhounds's topic in General Students

    I decided to go with an ADN program. It was definitely a case of a bird in the hand. The sooner you graduate, the sooner you get clinical experience that comes with a paycheck! I don't know if that...

  6. Question to those getting Associates in Nursing

    GeneralJinjur replied to MammaNurse2Be's topic in General Students

    I'm in my first semester of an ADN program. I am in class all day Tuesday, Thursday and half of Friday. Clinicals are all day Wednesday. Tests are Monday mornings and so is open lab. Throw in 7-10...

  7. Abdominal girth

    GeneralJinjur replied to ryze21's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I sew clothes for my kids and correspond with other seamstresses. This is a very typical waist measurement for any child under 12. It might be a tad on the thin side, but definitely within the...

  8. How long are you clinical days?

    GeneralJinjur replied to JHansen's topic in General Students

    9 hours once/week in first semester and then we move to 12 hour

  10. Getting Pregnant: Middle of Nursing School or first year as RN

    GeneralJinjur replied to misslolalady's topic in General Students

    I'm another one that threw up round the clock during pregnancy. I recommend waiting until you're done with

  11. New approaches of studying for nursing EXAMS

    GeneralJinjur replied to ttt-n's topic in General Students

    Exactly! The rationales teach you the way to evaluate the questions. I have a big exam Monday and am kinda freaking out because I haven't had enough time to run practice questions. I meant to do at...

  12. Stupid question about RN to BSN programs

    GeneralJinjur replied to vegnurse21's topic in General Students

    If they accept community college credits, you can do a lot of pre-reqs online. It is more work than sitting in a class and having the information handed to you, but you can't beat doing all the work...

  13. The Emergency Nurse Guide to Dealing with Early Pregnancy Loss

    GeneralJinjur replied to Aneroo's topic in Emergency

    OP, you gave excellent advice. Thank you for taking the time to share it. :) I'm just a student, but I've done the miscarriage thing. All of your recommendations are spot

  14. Exam Disaster!

    GeneralJinjur replied to New 2 iceeYouRN's topic in General Students

    Our school had us get the NCLEX 4000 software. You can set it to question you on whatever subject you like. The nursing process section has lots of prioritization questions. I used at least 150 of...

  15. I really dont know what to do

    GeneralJinjur replied to Matt 2be RN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that shadowing some nurses would be really helpful. I'm just finishing up week 4 of my first semester in nursing school. Everyone focuses on the stressful aspect and while there's a lot of...

  16. Nightmares

    GeneralJinjur replied to aerorunner80's topic in General Students

    Mine were worst in the month between orientation and starting class. I just finished week 3 and I'm starting to feel like I can handle this. The nightmares are only a few nights a week

  17. What did your first nurs. test look like?

    GeneralJinjur replied to cardschicarn's topic in General Students

    Our first test was very similar to the practice NCLEX questions in the book and on the CD. After talking with several 4th semester students, I bought the Fundamentals Reviews and Rationales book so I...

  18. Wish I Had Studied More Of....

    GeneralJinjur replied to rawoysteraddict's topic in General Students

    Every physiological process that I was iffy on, but had to keep going for the next exam. Surprise, they're all back to haunt me in nursing school! This is your chance to brush up on anything that...

  19. Politely Refusing to Share Grades

    GeneralJinjur replied to Cilantrophobe's topic in General Students

    I like the 100% recommendation, but I usually do the opposite and tell them I'd rather not talk about it. Act real upset and they leave you

  20. Need some encouragement... It could be over for me!!!

    GeneralJinjur replied to CandyGyrl's topic in General Students

    Lovely (and so true)! I think I'll place this quote on the cover of my notebook. To the OP, good luck on your next

  21. Student nurse with the baby itch. Help!

    GeneralJinjur replied to linds24's topic in General Students

    I hadn't made up my mind to be a nurse when I had my first, but I fully planned on working up until the day I delivered. Instead, I was bedridden first with hyperemesis for 6 months and then with...

  22. To pass or To be the highest?

    GeneralJinjur replied to psySins's topic in General Students

    I only like getting the highest grade if I have a friendly rivalry going with someone in the class. You know the type, someone who can be nice outside of class but has no problem doing their absolute...

  23. Taking two anatomy classes at once

    GeneralJinjur replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in General Students

    I had a guy in my A&P II class who had gotten special permission to take that without the A&P I prereq. He only needed one science class credit and II covered the systems he was interested...

  24. Going to the Gym

    GeneralJinjur replied to medgirlRN's topic in General Students

    My school has a great gym and I am so excited to go back there. I started using it during my prereqs and my goal is to use it every day I attend class. I don't ever study while I exercise. I tried...

  25. Gearing up for next semester : )

    GeneralJinjur replied to newbie08's topic in General Students

    I'm starting my first semester of nursing school proper. Nursing Fundamentals and Pharmacology are the only classes. I finished all the non-nursing classes while I spent 3 years on the waitlist....
