  1. Gardasil: has your daughter had this vaccine?

    prinsessa replied to Morgan314's topic in General Nursing

    My mom was just telling me how HPV can cause troat cancer. I never knew that. I wonder if she also read that in Reader's Digest. I probably won't have my DD get the Gardasil shot any time soon. I...

  3. Why is it sooo ridiculous???

    prinsessa replied to natkoz1982's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I don't think Truman has a waitlist. I actually think some of the classes at CC are harder. I know some people who went to 4-year universities say that the nursing pre-reqs were easier than the...

  4. UIC BSN Program Acceptance Info

    prinsessa replied to dreambig11's topic in Illinois Nursing

    No....I know quite a few people who got in with a few pre-reqs left to

  5. Learn To Say It Correctly!!

    prinsessa replied to SheriLynnRN's topic in General Nursing

    A couple of things that bother me are UM-brella and IN-surance. That always cracks me up. Is an ink pen a special type of pen? I thought all pens used ink. Why not just call it a pen? The...

  6. I can smell poop...

    prinsessa replied to Michelle123's topic in General Nursing

    I have had that smell follow me home even after showering and changing clothes. I don't know if it was all in my mind but it sure drove me

  7. RN new grad programs???

    prinsessa replied to galenanurse2b's topic in Illinois Nursing

  8. Things you would love to say to your fellow nursing students!

    prinsessa replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    Thankfully I haven't had many problems with any of my classmates. Some get on my nerves once in a great while but I don't let people bother me that much. I would like to say Thanks to all my...

  9. Questions For Current/Former UIC Students

    prinsessa replied to pm80's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Congratulations on getting in! If you are talking about the upper division elective you can take that over the summer. I am taking mine this summer. You can also take the nursing elective over the...

  10. What surprised you most in nursing school?

    prinsessa replied to jessiern's topic in General Nursing

    I am always surprised at how many OTC and prescriptions meds people take. I never take OTC meds unless I have a really bad headache. I'm not saying people don't need medication but it seems like...

  13. Absolute No-No's

    prinsessa replied to Drysolong's topic in General Nursing

    Make sure the pt doesn't have any procedures or tests that day before giving meds. Some of the meds might have to be held until

  14. Exaggerations about nursing school

    prinsessa replied to RNDreamer's topic in General Students

    My secret to nursing school is to not read everything that is assigned. It is crazy the amount of pages we are supposed to read. We can put all of our books on our computer which makes studying much...

  15. Discussing grades with classmates?

    prinsessa replied to OgopogoLPN's topic in General Students

    I usually don't tell my grade unless someone else tells me their grade first (and it is close to what I got). I have been getting As on the tests and I don't want to seem like I am bragging. I know...

  16. That DREAMY First Check!

    prinsessa replied to Williss2's topic in General Nursing

    When I graduate and start making money, I plan on paying off credit cards and saving money for a new house. I will probably celebrate by going out for a nice dinner with my family (maybe sushi ) but...

  17. "It jsut water weight........"

    prinsessa replied to Tweety's topic in General Nursing

    Are you gluten intolerant? I found out I was because I would get really sick after eating a lot of pasta or bread. And I thought I was doing good because I was eating a lot of whole wheat/grains....

  18. Anyone doing Curves?

    prinsessa replied to nurseaboveboard's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I did Curves right after I had my son and I loved it. I lost all of my "baby weight" and then some. I felt muscles in my butt for the first time in a long time. I had to quit though because the...

  19. Are accelerated programs fair?

    prinsessa replied to caro3334's topic in General Nursing

    I asked someone who was going into an accelerated program and she said that some of the classes are combined.....so they (some) do take less classes. I don't know if I could do it though. I know...

    prinsessa replied to Mike1974's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    We had to do a drug test, but we didn't have a certain amount of time it had to be done

  22. Bummed out.Anybody receive their letter from Pasadena City College? I'm an alternate.

    prinsessa replied to tm093726's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was on a waiting list for the school that I will be starting at in the fall. I didn't think I would be called because I was kind of high on the list. I think a lot of people apply to a lot of...

  23. What to do with this kind of patient?

    prinsessa replied to shortstuff31117's topic in Ob/Gyn

    The L&D nurses probably thought I was a "drama queen" when I went to the hospital. My contractions weren't regular and I was dilated 4 cm. Some of them gave me a attitude for coming back a...

  24. How important is Chemistry, really?

    prinsessa replied to EGKB's topic in General Nursing

    I remember Gen Chem and it was not fun! I had to do the problems over and over so I would know exactly how to do them on the test. I typed out all the formulas on a couple of sheets of paper and...

  25. Question about pre-req classes

    prinsessa replied to KMEP's topic in General Nursing

    I would suggest brushing up on some of your math and English skills. I waited a couple of years after graduation H.S. to start college. I'm guessing you aren't coming straight from H.S. since you...
