  1. Nursing school weight gain

    direw0lf replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    One of my dogs loves running with me, the other won't. He's a herding breed so I wondered if that's why because he'll pull to get behind me and I feel like to jog I'm pulling him and I don't want to...

  2. Why are some people on here so rude?

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

    Well for those of you who don't like the type of stuff on these boards this is another good quote "Be the change you wish to see in the world" -Gandhi Nurses should be advocates and leaders..post...

  3. Help

    direw0lf replied to Glogirl2016's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What is Aphy? Is that anatomy and physiology? If that is A&P then you only have 1 science class, and that alone might not get you in nursing school for this coming fall. Don't feel bad though...

  4. Nursing school weight gain

    direw0lf replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    I just finished my first full case study (5 pages later...) Can't wait to get up out of this chair! Nurse Leigh those are great ideas! I like more sleep and more play haha! I haven't really been as...

  5. Being depressed

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

    After I read this I looked up someone else's profile and saw it was the only posts they made to AN. Those who want to pretend to be multiple people, good luck with your future. I'm off to go study...

  6. Student Loan Debt

    direw0lf replied to KeepItRealRN's topic in General Students

    I don't take out any loans. 1. Private non profit 2. Very small classroom sizes, very caring teachers, one-on-one nearly any reasonable time you need with teachers who will work with you until a...

  7. First lab of the semester

    direw0lf replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    Nice! I hope it goes well today! I'll be in med-surg, and we're told that we'll each get to have time in the OR. Some of my classmates go to other areas like oncology. But it won't be for a month....

  8. First lab of the semester

    direw0lf posted a topic in General Students

    I learned about medication administration today and practiced ID, IM, and subcutaneous injections on dummies. We go to the hospital the evening before clinical to research our assigned patient. I...

  9. Setting aside (suppressing?) my traumatic past during pedi psych unit clinicals.

    direw0lf replied to LonghornChic's topic in General Students

    Well.. this is just my thought and you know what's best for you better than me. It's not going to be better to wait until you're working as a nurse and it could be worse if you are having trouble...

  10. Setting aside (suppressing?) my traumatic past during pedi psych unit clinicals.

    direw0lf replied to LonghornChic's topic in General Students

    I specifically want to help children and teens with a traumatic past. And I know plenty in my program who want nothing to do with peds!!! (For various reasons). If you want to know my shameful secret,...

  11. second semester and freaking out!

    direw0lf replied to nb17's topic in General Students

    Time management, time management, time management! If you haven't yet..make a weekly schedule. Fill in when you wake up, classes, misc family stuff, dinner times, cleaning, work, and STUDY time!...

  12. Why are some people on here so rude?

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

    I think black type on a screen can easily be misinterpreted on both ends! But I see a pattern with you Up..you hold onto negative feelings and offenses..like writing this now when that depression post...

  13. A&P and Microbiology concurrently?

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

    Right now I'm taking pathophysiology, pharmacology, med surg, (non calculus) physics, and women's issues. I'm not better than you because I'm taking all this!! Rather my point is that when you get...

  14. Pathophysiology studying

    direw0lf posted a topic in General Students

    My plan was to read the assigned chapters and take handwritten notes (I remember best when I write) before each class day. Well I messed up, our pathos reading is 2 chapters. 2 chapters you say,...

  15. Pathophysiology studying

    direw0lf replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    Thanks all. I am so excited this semester. The teacher gave us some hints today about what to study exactly. I don't think my "Review and Rationales" book is going to be as helpful because she said...

  16. Pathophysiology studying

    direw0lf replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    Thank you! You know I was reading this first chapter thinking things like "I just had learned this about gap junctions in Bio unity, A&P, bio diversity..." but I took down notes anyway. I'm going...

    direw0lf replied to KThurmond's topic in General Students

  18. bored to tears

    direw0lf replied to KThurmond's topic in General Students

    This went over my head ...what is meant by

  19. bored to tears

    direw0lf replied to KThurmond's topic in General Students

    Oh KThurmond, I was just thinking today, as I printed out page after page of case studies, lecture notes, and ppts, that I wish it was like back when they had no laptops and computers for school.. I'm...

  20. Crazy teachers

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

    I know how it is clashing with teachers. I thought I disliked one of mine. She did what it sounds like yours isn't though, she decided to give me a new chance after we clashed for a while and suddenly...

  21. Acidosis and alkalosis

    direw0lf posted a topic in General Students

    I was trying to prepare a little for patho and medsurg next semester and had a question about this please... wouldn't respiratory and metabolic acidosis always coexist? As well as respiratory and...

  22. Acidosis and alkalosis

    direw0lf replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    Thank you dan1100rt! That site really was great. I found out where I was getting confused (picking out lungs from kidneys/respiratory from metabolic) and those practice questions helped

  23. FIRST DAY

    direw0lf replied to valerieRose98's topic in General Students

    We were all so nervous in the CNA program then in hindsight after we all passed we wondered why we panicked so much. I don't know about you but I had to practice the most with people skills. I'll...

  24. study group or nah?

    direw0lf replied to Nurseades2b's topic in General Students

    I like studying alone but there are some times when it's really helpful to be in a group. One time I used a study group that really helped because the other people were able to pinpoint for me why I...

  25. Why???? Are?? They?? Failing???

    direw0lf replied to Nurseades2b's topic in General Students

    I've been on AN fairly regularly since August. People on here have stated they failed because of having a hard time managing their personal issues with nursing school. Some of them failed only by 1-2...
