  3. Ok Class of 2017, Where are you??

    NurslingNicole replied to Wifeoffireman's topic in School, College Programs

    Looks like we are using a lot of the same

  4. Nurses and their pens

    NurslingNicole replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    I love the RSVP pens! Been using them since middle school as well. Just recently my friend got me a bunch of stuff for nursing school as a thank you gift for helping her with a summer class and she...

    NurslingNicole replied to PianoTiles's topic in General Nursing

    I trap shoot too! Such a good stress reliever and tons of fun! Love my 12 ga.

  7. What advice would you give your 19 year old self?

    NurslingNicole replied to depalma.amada's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly this! I often think about "what if...", but if you think about it, if any of us were given the chance to go back and change a single thing, nothing would be the same now. My husband and I talk...

  8. What advice would you give your 19 year old self?

    NurslingNicole replied to depalma.amada's topic in General Nursing

    My advice to my 19-year-old self would have been: -Dump the stupid boyfriend. He's not good for you and contributes nothing positive for your life. -Figure out what you really want to do with your...

  9. Low Undergrad GPA to BSN (2nd degree)!!!

    NurslingNicole replied to californiagem's topic in General Students

    I have a very similar story. Although I had wanted to be a nurse since I was a little kid, I was always made to feel like I was not smart enough to be a nurse so I didn't pursue it. I didn't put a...

  10. Ok Class of 2017, Where are you??

    NurslingNicole replied to Wifeoffireman's topic in School, College Programs

    Shoutout to you, Dogen! I believe you just saved me A LOT of money. Thank

  11. Ok Class of 2017, Where are you??

    NurslingNicole replied to Wifeoffireman's topic in School, College Programs

    Aren't they??? I was super excited to find them because I have such a tough time finding shoes that fit my flat feet. Let me know how they work for you in clinical.

  12. Should I even apply? Haven't taken A&P 1 or 2

    NurslingNicole replied to littlemissie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    When applying to my nursing program, they award applicants points for classes that they have completed based on the grade in those classes and whether they passed the first time or had to retake. The...

  13. That one seemingly useless prerequisite...

    NurslingNicole posted a topic in General Students

    You all know the one I'm talking about. During our pre-nursing days, sometimes we must take prerequisites that seem pointless and a waste of time. However, today while washing dishes, I found my mind...

  14. That one seemingly useless prerequisite...

    NurslingNicole replied to NurslingNicole's topic in General Students

    I believe you are correct. I know I was guilty of looking at it in the wrong way for a long time. It wasn't until the last couple of years that I started piecing things together and applying things...

  15. Other departments trying to skip on work with RN's "blessing", aka lazy people wanting som

    NurslingNicole replied to ixchel's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I completely agree. It's not justified for them to be mad about it at all because it is their job. I just meant I was thankful whenever the nurses or aides did do that for me, but I never expected...

  16. Ok Class of 2017, Where are you??

    NurslingNicole replied to Wifeoffireman's topic in School, College Programs

    That's what I'm doing for shoes, too. White Skechers Synergy Elite Status with memory foam insoles. They also are available in black....

  17. Other departments trying to skip on work with RN's "blessing", aka lazy people wanting som

    NurslingNicole replied to ixchel's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It's odd to me that EVS doesn't do that stuff where you work. When I was working in EVS, we were expected to do that and trained to deal with hazmat, bio, chemo spills, sharps... anything and...

  18. Other departments trying to skip on work with RN's "blessing", aka lazy people wanting som

    NurslingNicole replied to ixchel's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Housekeeping is a tough job, yes, but it is so important that they don't skimp on their responsibilities. I hate seeing posts like these where EVS was too lazy or didn't care enough to do a good job....

  19. What do you guys like to do in your free time?

    NurslingNicole replied to PianoTiles's topic in General Nursing

    Lots of great tips here. I'm getting ready to go to nursing school in September and have been a little worried lately about how my family is going to suffer when I don't have time for anything but...

  20. Is an associates degree in nursing a waste of time?

    NurslingNicole replied to hardworkingmom9's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    NO! Do not give up your seat!!! Do you know how hard it can be just to get accepted into a nursing program??? So many people apply and do not get accepted. Count your blessings that you have been...

  21. That one seemingly useless prerequisite...

    NurslingNicole replied to NurslingNicole's topic in General Students

    Oops, sorry to assume. Good luck on your first day! I don't start until the end of September, so I will be looking forward to seeing how it's going for those of you that start earlier.

  22. That one seemingly useless prerequisite...

    NurslingNicole replied to NurslingNicole's topic in General Students

    I like trying to find common ground with people and usually try to ask them questions about something I know they are interested in or have experienced to get them talking. I bet you've heard quite a...

  23. That one seemingly useless prerequisite...

    NurslingNicole replied to NurslingNicole's topic in General Students

    What was it about government, and more specifically Texas Government, that helped you in your nursing

  24. Did I screw myself out of this job??

    NurslingNicole replied to nurselia's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    It's been a few days now. Just curious if you ended up hearing back from HR on this or not? My guess is that they had a bad experience in the past with someone providing them with a "reference" using...

  25. How do you do well in nursing school and keep your spouse happy?

    NurslingNicole replied to Godizmydad21's topic in General Students

    My husband and I are in a similar boat, and when it seems like there's no light at the end of the tunnel, we remind ourselves of this very thing. It always helps to realign our priorities and get us...
