    I Think I my CPR Instructor Didn't Know What She Was Talking About

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to darobow's topic in General Nursing

    There's no reason to lash out because people aren't telling you what you want to hear. Presumably the instructor was assigned to you by the facility. If that was the case, I'd assume that the...

    DUI and Entering Nursing School

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to waiting4ivpush's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    First, background checks take a good while - I think ours was three weeks. Second, you really should have ALREADY told her, IMO. Don't tell her that ridiculous, long, drawn out story. It doesn't...

    What do you eat for breakfast?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Ioreth's topic in General Students

    I usually grab a greek yogurt and throw in some fresh fruit. I don't generally like to eat breakfast, so this is my compromise. It's quick and light, but keeps me full for a good

    Relationship problems

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah no, 16 years with my husband and he's never made me cry. I couldn't be in a relationship like that. I'm only a student, but he is my absolute biggest cheerleader. He picked up most of the chores...

    Recording Lectures?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to maggie0's topic in General Students

    I record mine through OneNote - where I also make my notes and add slides or charts or whatever is relevant. The thing about recording through OneNote is that you can "bookmark" important stuff - as...

    Nursing craziness

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Students

    I don't get it. In my school those are three separate classes. And each test covers 4-5 chapters, plus some ATI stuff. Besides, using chapters as a unit of measurement is painfully inaccurate....

    How do you take notes in nursing school?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Nursingblue's topic in General Students

    Does your teacher post learning objectives or student outcome goals? That's what I base my learning on (so far, I'm only two weeks in). I copy/paste all the objectives (my teachers are kind enough to...

    Nursing Instructor Anger Management

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to sarahky79's topic in General Students

    I'm so sorry that happened to you. Since you have a decent relationship with her, I'd address it with her personally if you feel comfortable doing so. If not, that's okay, take it higher up. Best of...

    Quitting Nursing school before it even begins?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to guest517's topic in General Students

    Does your school offer counseling? I'd look into that if I were you. My school also offers peer mentoring, tutoring, assistance with time management/schedules and other things. Heck, they even have...

    HESI vs. TEAS

    ItsThatJenGirl posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've been studying for the TEAS for a few months now. I take it at the end of May. Another school popped up on my radar and I decided to apply. They want the HESI (with NO science at all). They want...

    Are you discerning with your "likes"?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    I like posts that I agree with, or find funny. Or find snarky sometimes - depends on my mood really. I try not to put any weight into the likes I receive, I do feel a sense of pride when a post I've...

    What are new grad programs?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to julicabr6731's topic in General Students

    Around here, new grad residencies last a year. You have monthly meetings with your peers and talk out any issues or struggles you're having, and discuss ways to solve those issues. You also have extra...

    Flu - Missing Class

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Phlebotomist21's topic in General Students

    I would get the shot ASAP. The flu is nothing to mess around with. My dad has it right now and is quite sick. My mom is on Tamiflu in order to try to avoid her getting sick, too. And yes, the school...

    Real books vs ebooks

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Polly Peptide's topic in General Students

    For my school, the price difference in the packages is $200 (ebooks only is $450, ebooks and physical books is $650), so I'm really trying to figure out which one to go with. I have two days to make...
