    Tips and Advice for Prioritizing Care

    ThatChickOmi posted a topic in General Students

    This is going to sound kinda silly, but I'm a second year (3rd semester of 4 semester ADN program) and I was assigned two patients today for the first time on a busy med-surg floor. I had a hard time...

    Microbiology and Chemistry at same time

    ThatChickOmi replied to cysmith87's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took microbiology over the summer in 2016. The professor I had has a reputation for being incredibly difficult. That was seriously one of the hardest classes I have ever taken. And we only had 5...

    Can I succeed in nursing school with no previous medical experience?

    ThatChickOmi replied to oneday_nursepoundcake's topic in General Students

    And to add to what I said previously, there were some students in my class that didn't make it and they were already in the field. One guy was a tech at a local hospital and didn't pass first...

    Can I succeed in nursing school with no previous medical experience?

    ThatChickOmi replied to oneday_nursepoundcake's topic in General Students

    If it helps you feel any better, I've made it halfway through my 2 year program so far having no prior experience in the healthcare field. My "regular job" is actually driving a delivery

    affordable apartment with rn salary

    ThatChickOmi replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    I live in Fairfield County CT, and that rent is fairly high for my city. Average is maybe $1600-$1800 for a modest sized 1-2 bedroom. I would never pay that, even if I could comfortably afford

    How to confront a disrespectful professor

    That being said, I do hope you were able to just really crunch it and finish your care plan on time. Wish you the

    How to confront a disrespectful professor

    ThatChickOmi replied to MamaNanii's topic in General Students

    I don't honestly think anybody here is using a condescending tone toward to OP at all. It's the truth unfortunately. Life keeps going, it doesn't slow down or stop no matter what happens. I had a...

    Not sure how to deal with this future classmate...

    ThatChickOmi replied to tulipsupontulips's topic in General Students

    I wouldn't even entertain him. Honestly, if he is making you that uncomfortable, don't engage. Just simply stop responding and/or block him. Also, and I've learned this from experience, mentioning...

    Sloppy clinical instructor?

    ThatChickOmi replied to Potatoskins's topic in General Students

    Just reading that makes me super uncomfortable. It's uncomfortable enough as it is having the healthcare staff member even touching you and they're the only one in there. I'd have been livid and told...

    That was my first thought as well, a lab value may not necessarily be "physically" seen, at least immediately. Has there been weight

    I need help

    ThatChickOmi replied to Strugglingwnursing's topic in Nursing Career

    The fact that you keep quitting every job you get soon after hire is probably what keeps (and will continue) hurting you. I didn't love any of my former jobs (or my current) either but unfortunately...

    How many hours did you honesty spend studying in nursing school?

    ThatChickOmi replied to Aa1Bb2Cc3's topic in General Students

    So far, it's been manageable. I've been holding down mostly B's and some A's. I spend at least a 3-4 hours a day (I like to study in chunks, I can't sit for long periods of time it drives me nuts). I...

    CT-CCNP 2017

    ThatChickOmi replied to fyrephish's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    I took micro during summer 2016 at NCC. I found it pretty difficult, just so much to cram into 5 weeks. Our professor was fairly tough too. Half my class dropped by the end of the month. The only...

    CT-CCNP 2017

    ThatChickOmi replied to fyrephish's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    I ended up going to the uniform store the handbook listed. Wasn't too bad, I don't really care for how they fit on me, but I got them. Next time I'll buy them online. I pretty much have everything...

    Hey guys. Where are you buying your scrubs from? I looked at Amazon but can't seem to find the style numbers required. Does Walmart sell them? I know the handbook listed a few places but I'm trying to...

    Got all my books last month. Been trying to read a little from the nursing fundamentals book. I haven't looked at the dosage calculations quite yet. Very anxious about school

    ThatChickOmi replied to ThatChickOmi's topic in General Students

    Trust me, I agree with your sentiments. I don't think it should matter but unfortunately many programs discourage it and want tattoos covered up and piercings removed. I'm not exactly sure how strict...
