  1. Nursing schools where there is no waiting period

    DorkyStudentNurse replied to usha's topic in General Nursing

    My school (University of New Brunswick - Fredericton campus) has no waiting list, provided that you have good grades (average of 85% or higher for pre-req high school courses...not sure how it works...

    DorkyStudentNurse replied to funnygirl_rn2's topic in General Nursing

    How awful and scary! I only have a tiny bit of experience with hand-crank beds in our skills labs at school. I've never heard of anything like that happening...that's really horrible I hope she feels...

  5. Where do you buy your scrubs?

    DorkyStudentNurse replied to flashpoint's topic in General Nursing

    I've only had to buy two pairs of scrubs so far (first year student) and I got them from Sears. They're actually really cute and they fit well. They were normally $50 but they were on sale this week...

  6. Chewing Ice!!!

    DorkyStudentNurse replied to LadyBugLass's topic in General Nursing

    I can't STAND being near someone who is chewing ice. It physically hurts me to hear the noise and watch them chew it (I have extremely sensitive teeth); sympathy pains I guess, lol. Same with people...

  7. Thyroid out of whack!

    DorkyStudentNurse replied to Nikki69's topic in General Nursing

    I'm kind of in the same boat. I have severe hypothyroidism as well (only diagnosed this year though) and I still feel really bad fluctuations in my symptoms. It's been less than six months since I...

  8. Nursing students fear of the gross stuff.

    DorkyStudentNurse replied to amy3072's topic in General Nursing

    I'm worried about this too. I start my first clinicals on January 4th and I'm so worried. I'm so scared of offending a patient because I can't keep my facial expressions in check or I start gagging or...

    DorkyStudentNurse replied to TexasPediRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a student nurse and I'm only 18. I started nursing school when I was 17. It's because my birthday is late in the year, I've always been one of the youngest people in my class. I can actually...

  10. My innards are falling out !!!! EEEKKKK

    DorkyStudentNurse replied to txspadequeenRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Um, freakyaye, maybe you should consider a little more whether you would be suited for nursing. Uterine prolapse is a pretty common thing in women, I'm sure you'll have to be exposed to that and much...

  11. I *do* recognize the need for nursing theory

    DorkyStudentNurse replied to carachel2's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Ahh! I feel so much better now. I'm only a first year Nursing student but I still have not learned ONE technical skill whatsoever. At my school, theory comprises basically the entire first year, yet...

    DorkyStudentNurse replied to stpauligirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    At my school, Anatomy and Physiology are split up into seperate classes. I'm currently taking Anatomy I. Soooo much studying! We've already finished the unit on muscles; it killed me! I passed, but...

  14. Tattoos and nursing

    DorkyStudentNurse replied to PrincessJessica's topic in General Nursing

    I have three tattoos. One on my lower back, one on my right calf, and one on my left ankle. I don't have any that would show in a normal pair of scrubs. I think the policy around here is "no visible...
