  1. Underwear and white scrubs?

    missninaRN replied to LaLaEm4's topic in General Students

    I'm going to be wearing white scrubs at my new job too. Your best choice would be solid colored undergarments that match your skin tone. I'm looking at some at Victoria's Secret that are seamless and...

  2. Have you encountered this? Religious conflict.

    missninaRN replied to Iconoclast's topic in General Nursing

    A lot of good advice has already been given here. I especially like the idea of saying, "I don't pray out loud". As a person of faith and as the mother of wonderful, intelligent, caring, agnostic...

  3. How Many Times Did You Apply to Nursing School

    missninaRN replied to wannabenursi's topic in General Nursing

    Applied once. Associates program. GPA 4.0. It's gone down since

  4. NANDA has got me brain dead!!

    missninaRN replied to 2bnurse_kadz's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  6. What mantra is getting you through nursing school?

    missninaRN replied to MySimplePlan's topic in General Students

    That sums up my mantra

  7. Need to study lab values

    missninaRN replied to A2008's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I've been thinking the same thing. It seems every textbook, heck, every instructor, I've had gives slightly different norms for lab values. So, which ones does the NCLEX use? Hoping someone here can...

  8. Can I still go to clinical??

    missninaRN replied to lmh2brn's topic in General Students

    At my hospital, if they are unable to fulfill the requirements of their job, they take a medical leave or are assigned to a desk job (i.e. ward clerk) until they are released by their

  9. 2nd semester and has failed first two tests!

    missninaRN replied to jillk5455's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    The best advice I can give you is to start studying for the next test immediately after taking the last one. If you wait until a few days before, you just won't know the material. I prepare for tests...

  10. Post traumatic stress disorder from nursing school

    missninaRN replied to lizzyberry's topic in General Students

    Here it is: http://tinyurl.com/358yoe You can listen to a sample of each track at the link above. It's an MP3 download. I burned it to a CD for my bedroom stereo and like to listen to it as I fall...

  11. Koi Scrubs

    missninaRN replied to Ms Mischief's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    For those of you who have worn Koi scrubs, how do they compare in size to Urbane? I wear a medium top and bottom in Urbane and the Koi size chart seems to indicate I would wear a medium as well, but...

  12. Post traumatic stress disorder from nursing school

    missninaRN replied to lizzyberry's topic in General Students

    Ditto. As far as chapter after chapter of reading, this is what I do: Read the work guide before class (we have copies of all of the power points in our work guides.) After class, read the relevant...

  13. What type of exercise do you do??

    missninaRN replied to CardioTrans's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I just started exercising a couple of months ago. This is my last semester in nursing school and I'm tired of being unhealthy. I'm currently working out at the "Y" 3 times a week. I cross train for...

  14. Comfortable Narrow Foot Shoes for under 100$...?

    missninaRN replied to Michigan Man 09's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Hi Michigan Man, I'm right there with you. Finding narrow shoes that fit well is extremely difficult-I suspect that I may have the narrowest feet ever made. Really. Even narrow shoes are often too...

  15. Going back......I feel old!

    missninaRN replied to Bennie44's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I started back at the age of 43 after over 20 years out of the classroom. I'm a better student now than I was way back when. I'm earning top grades, tutoring freshman nursing students, and was...

  16. Clep Humanities

    missninaRN replied to morenenuf's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I took the Humanities CLEP and passed it. It was a real bargain: I paid $85 for 6 ours of credit and saved all of that time sitting in classes! I spent a couple of afternoons taking practice tests to...

  17. I have a question about clinicals?

    missninaRN replied to Iwannabeababynurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If my clinicals are right after class, I wear my scrubs to class. Otherwise, I wear street clothes to class and change into scrubs for clinicals. In clinicals you will actually do the things you learn...

  18. Med-Surg Roll Call

    missninaRN replied to RNPATL's topic in Medical-Surgical

    I just accepted a day position on a Med Surg unit and will start after I graduate in 3 months. I'm going to be a Med Surg

  19. To Clep or Not to Clep ???

    missninaRN replied to moosiesmom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The CLEP will not change your GPA. It will only give you credit hours. I CLEP'd English Comp and Humanities and plan on CLEP'ing College Algebra before I start an RN-BSN program. The CLEP tests save...

  20. Drug Tests and Hemp Oil

    missninaRN posted a topic in General Students

    Now before you get any ideas about me, I am not a drug user. Heck, I can't even take benadryl for my allergies if I want to be aware of my surroundings. I do, however, have a question about the urine...

  21. Hey you..with the trashy blonde hair

    missninaRN replied to Emma123's topic in General Nursing

    I can identify with the loose stools and anxiety ridden nights. You deserve better. I hope you find a great place to

  22. Research Papers?

    missninaRN replied to Hanabna's topic in General Students

    I'm in my 3rd semester of an ADN program and have written several papers every month. Now, not all of those were research papers; some were case studies or care plans. I wrote a care plan every week...

  23. Looking for guidelines for end of shift report

    missninaRN posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Hello- I've googled this and also searched these forums, but I'm not coming up with a good list of what exactly should be included in an end of shift report. Any links or advice would be

  24. I cried in class today

    missninaRN replied to JdNNurse2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The OP apparently doesn't share your opinion. She is entitled to her feelings, just as you

  25. gpa to get into nursing school?

    missninaRN replied to hushpupgrl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My school required a GPA of 3.0 to be considered, but a lot of people with a 3.0 didn't get in because there were so many applicants. Fifty freshmen were accepted this year, but there are over 400...
