  5. Do you consider yourself a "pre-nursing student" or "nursing student?"

    justagirlwhosaideh replied to NolaLj's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  9. Do you consider yourself a "pre-nursing student" or "nursing student?"

    justagirlwhosaideh replied to NolaLj's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Who cares? Lol I always say nursing student because my plan is to become a nurse. Therefore everything I do/study is preparing me to become an RN - tah-da nursing

  10. How did you get an A in anatomy?

    justagirlwhosaideh replied to ana_96's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with the previous posters. Read ahead. Do little things to keep it fresh like reviewing a body part in the mirror every time you go in the bathroom - things like that. Make it your life

  11. I Want To Be A Nurse, But My Grades Aren't Competitive. Help!

    justagirlwhosaideh replied to TheCommuter's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was in the same boat at one point because I was young, dumb, and just lacked discipline - the prereqs in my opinion were a cake walk. Yet honestly, I'm completely happy I went through that period....

    justagirlwhosaideh replied to RN to be soon's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I did for a while - it was what I wanted to do since a kid (cliche but the truth) . I went to multiple medical camps. Enjoyed the heck out of everything but I noticed something: I would never get to...

    justagirlwhosaideh replied to taylorm1993's topic in General Nursing

    Hiya Taylor, First things first - take a deep breath. Allow yourself to feel all of the anxiety you are feeling. It is okay. It is normal. However I don't want you to send yourself into a spiral of...

    justagirlwhosaideh posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Hiya all. Here's the situation: I was recently hired as a CNA at an LTC facility. I figured it'd be some valuable experience before nursing school. It is on skilled nursing unit. Pay isn't too bad....

  16. Why do some nurses "hate their jobs"?

    justagirlwhosaideh replied to iculvr's topic in General Nursing

    I don't "hate nursing" - I hate that I can't always give my pts the time I would like because of short-staffing. I "hate" that sometimes I believe I see my hospital only seeing the pts as money and...

  17. Why do some nurses "hate their jobs"?

    justagirlwhosaideh replied to iculvr's topic in General Nursing

    I'm surprised you even need an MBA...networking & leaving behind a strong "legacy" has taken me more places than any education I've had thus far. I also run my own business for a few years now. I...

    justagirlwhosaideh replied to ibree's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  21. Why do you wear a white coat? (if you indeed do)

    justagirlwhosaideh replied to RNdynamic's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Oh the hilarity. Did someone in an ugly white coat hurt your feelings? Hang onto your undies...but I wear a white coat too...and I'm JUST a nursing assistant (required!) as a student RN I also wear a...

  22. School

    justagirlwhosaideh replied to Vtachy1's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    My instructor was notorious for pausing a conversation to ask a question about a skill or something we should know as NA's. It really helped me to stay on my toes. In class it was lecture after...
