  1. Ever been dismissed from a Nursing Program??

    direw0lf replied to heemotha78's topic in General Students

    Oh well yeah I mean effort and neatness definitely. My thick mop goes up in a high bun! I meant more like people thinking their height or how pretty or handsome they are or aren't to

  2. why is preload and afterload important?

    direw0lf posted a topic in General Students

    I'm trying to learn this by myself because we've had 2 weeks of classes off (teacher cancelled first week, 2nd week Columbus holiday). I think I understand preload and afterload..I'm a little fuzzy...

  3. Ever been dismissed from a Nursing Program??

    direw0lf replied to heemotha78's topic in General Students

    Just wanted to point out this doctor Jennifer Arnold: Little Couple | TLC Appearance means nothing, it's all about how you carry yourself and your beliefs that influence the opinions about you. P.S....

  4. why is preload and afterload important?

    direw0lf replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    Thank you Umbdude that helped also! I could feel it struggling to come together in my brain haha. One thing though please. I got really confused about what I read on this site CV Physiology:...

  5. why is preload and afterload important?

    direw0lf replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    Thank you so much 203bravo!!! That answered all my questions! In fact Frank-Sterling's law is in my book I guess I wasn't understanding. I'm basically writing your reply in my notes :)

  6. nursing student in science classes vs nursing student in nursing classes

    direw0lf posted a topic in General Students

    Have you guys made many friends in nursing school? I'm not really popular at all. I used to hide that I got decent grades. Then I saw people who got good grades were respected so in the sciences I...

  7. nursing student in science classes vs nursing student in nursing classes

    direw0lf replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    Thanks all. These replies help me see that I might have been afraid of not making it through nursing school without maybe any friends or maybe it was all something wrong with me! I mean I'm not...

  8. Is nursing school really "that" bad?

    direw0lf replied to Nurseades2b's topic in General Students

    I had concerns like you. There were some things I decided before nursing school began even that I will *not* give up: 1. Walking my dogs. This might not seem like a big deal. But I have high energy...

  9. How Much Time Do You Invest in Studying?

    direw0lf replied to coffee_please's topic in General Students

    For nursing I've been studying at least an hour every night, after we got to the respiratory system. My normal way to study was always to save one day a week for a major study fest. That worked in...

  10. First clinical competency was a disaster

    direw0lf replied to iwearadrstethoscope's topic in General Students

    I told my instructor that I'm nervous when I was getting a check off. She talked to me for a minute and I don't know what she said I just know her tone was calm and reassuring! But that was enough to...

  11. Online exams

    direw0lf replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    Update: exam complete. .I got a 94! It opened the same time for everyone but was timed. 50 multiple choice nclex style questions. I could do a lot without notes, I mean especially by process of...

  12. Online exams

    direw0lf posted a topic in General Students

    When a teacher gives an online exam that is able to be taken from anywhere, is it dishonesty to use your notes, book, and internet when taking it? And is it dishonesty or lacking integrity to work...

  13. What is your motivation?

    direw0lf replied to shanell85's topic in General Students

    You did ask a lot of question! Haha. My motivation is a city I want to move to when I graduate. I really don't like the area I live in now. I look at pics of where I want to move when I need

  14. missing pinning ceremony for dying father's birthday

    direw0lf replied to ichiro12's topic in General Students

    I didn't go to my prom or high school graduation and regret those things. I'd still miss the pinning ceremony without hesitation. I loved the idea to get your pin in advance. I'm so sorry for this...

  15. What to study before Nursing School?

    direw0lf replied to ETIGLAO's topic in General Students

    I think you're good just reviewing the A&P. I had started reviewing abg's, isontonic, hypertonic, hypotonic solutions, electrolyte imbalances, and some other things and not only was it confusing...

  16. Should I buy an NCLEX book before starting nursing school

    direw0lf replied to czerwodl121's topic in General Students

    I feel like getting an nclex book and going over it before I actually started a nursing class definitely was a benefit. One of the best things I could have done to prepare, for me at least. It...

  17. Ah, the anxiety of applying to accelerated BSN programs...

    direw0lf replied to getthemtothegeek's topic in General Students

    My BSN school (not accelerated) put no emphasis on cna status. It seems like volunteering is looked highly at. I mean basically you're saying you're no work experience, and no A in the science...

  18. Online exams

    direw0lf replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    Thanks to those who replied. I checked the student handbook and read the policy on cheating and dishonesty. There wasn't anything specific about using material for online tests off site or working in...

  19. Socially awkward nurse?

    direw0lf replied to mininurse24's topic in General Students

    You don't have to worry what to talk about to the elderly. They most likely will love to talk to you about their whole life. I thought I was shy and awkward too but you might find you're not in this...

  21. This Weird Never Ending Itch!!

    direw0lf replied to calidreamin's topic in General Students

    I have wanted to be an md or od but for me it was for the wrong reasons. I wanted the "respect" I guess..not sure how to explain it..also I wanted to know that I could do it. But I want to do the...

  22. I'm bored

    direw0lf posted a topic in General Students

    It's so boring that I've really got a bad attitude about my school work. What I've learned in nursing school since Aug 24: wash your hands, vitals, infection control, cultural differences, theorists,...

  23. In my first semester and want another baby

    direw0lf replied to TiffanyMcNurse2b's topic in General Students

    Hey well I'm inexperienced but I did want to share some thoughts that may or may not be any help. 1. I worked at a daycare all through high school. Maybe this would offend some parents but I felt like...

    direw0lf posted a topic in General Students

    Ok I took a biology class for FUN...by fun I mean expecting work but I was looking fwd to the volunteering component with this class in particular. Anyway it's a nightmare. I transferred in late at...

  25. Got a 58.18% on my first nursing exam (1st semester)

    direw0lf replied to aartistc's topic in General Students

    Many students in my fundamentals class failed the first exam!!! Like other replies said it's a whole new way of being tested! I had the advantage of reviewing nclex style questions over the summer....
