  1. Do nurses do med math

    direw0lf replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    Thanks so much for people's replies sharing why it's needed and examples of when you use med math! I think I was hoping to use "nurses don't do math" as an excuse since I'm having trouble with it, but...

  2. The Second Week

    direw0lf replied to pinksnowflakes's topic in General Students

    There's facebook groups with just SATA questions to practice..um I deactivated my account temporarily but I think one was called "SATA

  3. Do nurses do med math

    direw0lf replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    Thanks, Heather. My instructors make it seem that way too (that there are many medication errors) they said it's the number 1 cause of hospital deaths. I think I just get frustrated and know you're...

  4. My First Cry Today

    direw0lf replied to eomLPN2016's topic in General Students

    I read you wrote "I felt so lost especially when others carried on" Try not to compare yourself to anyone in your class! I'm sure there is something you're better at than someone else who struggles...

  5. 3.03 gpa & applying to undergraduate programs for the first time! Can I do it ?

    direw0lf replied to Cambcl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Even if you are denied in the nursing program, can't you still go to the school and take gen eds/pre-reqs to raise your GPA, or are you all done with those? I started off with liberal arts major after...

  6. How can I be taken more seriously?

    direw0lf replied to Scuba_NurseBSN's topic in General Students

    I used to be pretty small, recently put on some weight! But I know how you feel. I just wanted to add one suggestion to these replies I liked reading. I recently got a makeup lesson at the hair salon....

  7. The Second Week

    direw0lf replied to pinksnowflakes's topic in General Students

    Short quizzes are rough like that! What I'd have done is read the chapter along with the notes or ppt with it, then take additional notes from the chapter and the important things from the class...

  8. I hate nursing school (and it is not because it is hard)

    direw0lf replied to baleen's topic in General Students

    Whether this was sarcastic or not, I apologize. I got my feathers ruffled when you wrote about "your people" not being nurses because you're too smart for them. I was asked one too many times why I...

  9. double major

    direw0lf replied to SussetH.Alcover's topic in General Students

    I think you should do what PP's said and take credits twd the BSN, that will help so much, so you can even work as a student nurse while you're getting your BSN, and you can minor in business then...

  10. How do you find time for exercise while in nursing school?

    direw0lf replied to hope_is_w_feathers's topic in General Students

    P.S. Here's where I now keep my weights at my desk I study at! And you can pick the exercises you like I googled "weights sitting at desk" in

  11. How do you find time for exercise while in nursing school?

    direw0lf replied to hope_is_w_feathers's topic in General Students

    I just made a thread a few ones down about lacking exercise and good diet in nursing school haha! You're not alone! Before I moved and entered my nursing program, I used to run almost daily at Garret...

  12. I hate nursing school (and it is not because it is hard)

    direw0lf replied to baleen's topic in General Students

    Actually, I'm not even going to bother. I feel too smart to be in this thread

  13. Nursing school weight gain

    direw0lf posted a topic in General Students

    I'm taking a short study break and wanted to ask about weight help!! My school has a buffet..it's so good. That combined with no cardio exercise anymore and sitting a whole lot more, I gained almost...

  14. Nursing school weight gain

    direw0lf replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    Thanks, I'll try that vintagemother! I did much better today..drank my lemon water, got up and moved, still studied, went on a 2 hour dog walk..think I will use my 5 lb weights while I sit at my desk...

  15. So now I am a senior, and I dread life.

    direw0lf replied to ARose11's topic in General Students

    I think you should feel proud about how far you've come! I can't wait to be where you are I just keep SBAR in my head if/when I need to talk to the md I'll be thinking "SBAR, just stick to SBAR"

  16. I hate nursing school (and it is not because it is hard)

    direw0lf replied to baleen's topic in General Students

    I don't think it will be for nothing....but if you don't want to do this... I agree that you could work and pay for the next year of prereqs at least. You can obtain your bio degree and work in that...

  17. Anatomy and Organic Chemistry

    direw0lf replied to youngsterinlove's topic in General Students

    Does your school require orgo? In mine we need to take general chem 1 and 2 before we can take orgo. Nursing students take a survey type of chemistry that encompasses inorganic, organic, and...

  18. I hate nursing school (and it is not because it is hard)

    direw0lf replied to baleen's topic in General Students

    Oh and just one last thought. My teacher told us about her friend who took a couple years off school, worked hard as a CNA to earn money, and went to med school, now a successful cardiologist in

  19. I hate nursing school (and it is not because it is hard)

    direw0lf replied to baleen's topic in General Students

    I felt similar as you and made a thread about it called "I'm bored" in September or October. I came out of science classes I really loved, and thought assessment and foundations were boring or my...

  20. Nursing school weight gain

    direw0lf replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    This is just what I needed to hear, thank you. I'm going to follow all of this advice. My school has a free gym for students, I'm going to check out what time it opens. Even if it's 8am, my classes...

  21. Nursing school weight gain

    direw0lf replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    After today I realized I have to do a whole reevaluation of how I study or something. Because I worked last night so I didn't start studying until 2pm. I sat there until 8pm (got up to let dogs out at...

  22. pre student???

    direw0lf replied to andrews_mommy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well you won't get into the nursing program right away. You'll start taking your general ed and prereq classes. I don't know if you're able to be a FT student time-wise, but your first classes will...

  23. Why are some people on here so rude?

    direw0lf replied to Upward_Bound's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Heather, you need to see the movie Idiocracy. It's one of my favorite comedies. I think that tells what the presidency really will turn into. (Palin's backing Trump is pretty darn close). Oh and...

  24. Volunteering during school

    direw0lf replied to augurey's topic in General Students

    Well.. the good thing about inconsistency is that you can show a lot of diversity, but the negative side is you won't build as strong rapports or show yourself enough to gain yourself as strong...

  25. Nursing school weight gain

    direw0lf replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    I'm like Nurse Leigh and hate tuna but I love salmon. One time I stopped eating excess sugar and carbs, and I really stopped even craving it as long as I ate enough protein. That's the problem I...
