    Nurse-To-Be-Joy posted a topic in General Students

    Nurse-To-Be-Joy replied to Irene joy's topic in General Students

  7. help...how can i stop being nervous when giving an injection?

    Nurse-To-Be-Joy replied to Liz21's topic in General Students

  8. Is there power in the color white?

    Nurse-To-Be-Joy replied to bbfw2's topic in General Nursing

    I have been in the hospital a few times and I personally think a nurse in all white looks cold. I'd much prefer seeing my nurses wearing upbeat scrubs, something fun or pretty I can look at. And I...

    Nurse-To-Be-Joy posted a topic in General Students

    I really hope this doesn't come across as mean. That is NOT my intention. But my lab partner is a very big girl (and one of my best friends). So, we practice looking for lung, heart, and bowel sounds...

    Nurse-To-Be-Joy replied to mariel7's topic in Arizona Nursing

    But many people DO speak English. And the charge nurses were pretty good about trying to give Spanish-only pts to nurses who were blingual. But there is a plethora of interpreters available. And as...

    Nurse-To-Be-Joy replied to Lovely_RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am also in MT school. I did the work-study program and only paid $350. I think they also do payment programs. Even if I don't actually work as an MT when I graduate from there, it has helped me sooo...

  14. Is there any hope?

    Nurse-To-Be-Joy replied to narcissistic's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm also a former procrastinator (and at 23, also fairly young). I finally realized I needed to get up EARLIER to start my day, mainly with studying. I was amazed how much I got done by getting up at...

    Nurse-To-Be-Joy replied to mariel7's topic in Arizona Nursing

  18. Do you prefer buying books that already have writing in them?

    Nurse-To-Be-Joy replied to amlaboy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I prefer that the books I use don't have writing or highlighting in them because I like to do that myself. However, if it's a really good price, I do get the book that has writing. It's not that big...

    Nurse-To-Be-Joy replied to JoeyDog's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In the beginning, I gained weight (about 10 pounds). But now, I barely have time to eat anymore and I'm so active (running around college, after a toddler, etc.) that I'm starting to lose that weight....

    Nurse-To-Be-Joy replied to mydee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you want it bad enough, you WILL find a way. If you don't think you can succeed, you WILL fail. So put your mind to it and find out how to improve your scores. Talk to a few teachers, or even close...

  25. Do I need a recorder....

    Nurse-To-Be-Joy replied to Christinmomof3nrs2be's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I really have benefited from taping lectures. There always seems to be one little point I missed during lecture, that would always end up on the exam. So, taping it is a great way to go back and see...
