  1. Nursing school so depressed!

    Peepsimus replied to Emilylovesthegym's topic in General Students

    Have you been going over your exams with the professor to talk about why you picked the answers you did, develop test strategies for how YOU approach the material, and what you can do to improve?...

  2. Expensive stethoscope for student?

    Peepsimus replied to hellofish's topic in General Students

    You won't look obnoxious unless you act obnoxious. There's nothing wrong with having good tools as long as you learn how to use them. I have a Cardio III that my parents got me before I was even...

  3. Nursing school Q: 1 min/1 question?

    Peepsimus replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Students

    I think we've all been in the situation of having a tough class with an instructor who we can't seem to communicate with or whose teaching just doesn't make sense in our brains. While it's...

  4. Specialization: When to Decide?

    Peepsimus replied to Alrewolf's topic in General Students

    The best advice I got on this was to have an open mind for clinicals, and once you're in there and enjoying an area, ask your preceptor to work with a challenging or complex patient so you get a...

  5. Tell on yourself, if you dare...

    Peepsimus replied to audreysmagic's topic in General Nursing

    I'm still a student (2nd career), am seriously considering ED, and was talking to a friend who's been a paramedic forever. He asked if I'd like to ride a shift or two between semesters to understand...

  6. Not accepted

    Peepsimus replied to susanolu's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Do some research and apply to more schools. Some community college programs give better training and have smaller class sizes than prestigious universities in the same city. There are a lot of paths...

  7. Advice for Microbiology!?

    Peepsimus replied to FutureRN-rp's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Micro was much easier than I expected it to be, based on people whining about it. There's a lot of memorization that's largely structured the same way. The earlier you have a system in place to get...

  8. New Nursing Student Must Haves and Advice From Current Nursing Students

    Peepsimus replied to CreativeUsername's topic in General Students

    The Alegria Women's Keli Professional Shoe is stupid comfortable. Amazon carries it for almost half off at ~$65. When they arrived, I had been on my feet all day in running shoes at my current job and...

  9. Jobs while studying Nursing

    Peepsimus replied to BWaldorf's topic in General Students

    Some hospitals allow you to work as a patient care tech (PCT) once you've completed the Essentials of Nursing Practice (or whatever it's called at your school). It's basically being a CNA, but the...

  10. Armstrong State Nursing-Fall 2017

    Peepsimus replied to BMB1989's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Are you an undergrad or a post-bacc student? I'm post-bacc and came in with a 3.25 from UT Austin, did a 3.75 on prereqs at Armstrong (stats, A&P I-II, micro), and got a 91 on the HESI, but I took...

  11. Do you keep your school binders?

    Peepsimus replied to NerdyKnitter's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If I think I might want to reference my notes later or if it was just crazy interesting, I keep the spiral notebooks and textbook. From my first undergrad, there are still cognitive neurobiology notes...

  12. Update: no longer questioning my career choice

    Peepsimus replied to Nursebface's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Learning to ask why someone is doing something without sounding like you're challenging their choice is one of the most useful job skills on the planet. I spent a decade in management before changing...

  13. My professor told us NPs have no future...

    Peepsimus replied to anilechim's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I had a similar conversation with one of my professors recently, but she had a really different opinion than your professor. She teaches PA classes as well and urged me to stay on my track for the...

  14. Anxiety Disorder - Can I Do It?

    Peepsimus replied to nursinggirl1818's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have ALL of the anxiety disorders, and I'm on an antidepressant and Xanax, too. It overwhelmed me sometimes in my first BA and in my first career. Cognitive behavioral therapy can help a LOT, giving...
