  1. Crying in front of instuctor

    37changes replied to amynursing's topic in General Students

    I'm sure a lot of people have cried in front of their clinical instructor. My good friend just started crying this week because we had to do our first insulin shots and she had JUST had a lot of...

  2. Sloppy clinical instructor?

    37changes replied to Potatoskins's topic in General Students

    Every single one of the TEN of us were told to file in to an elderly man's room to witness a straight cath recently. Add to that two nurses, a CNA, and our clinical instructor = 14 people in one half...

  3. Anxiety and Panic Attacks

    37changes replied to Victoria1982's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Are you consuming sugar...... what about skipping meals? I can keep up with these suggestions for awhile. :) I do agree that you should have an appointment soon with your doctor to talk about your...

  4. Anxiety and Panic Attacks

    37changes replied to Victoria1982's topic in Health, Stress Management

    This may seem really obvious, or it may not. But are you consuming more caffeine since you started nursing school? Are you consuming caffeine before classes and clinicals? If so, I challenge you to go...

  5. Once upon a time.

    37changes replied to CardiacDork's topic in General Nursing

    I'd just like to offer the perspective from someone a little further down the road, AGE-wise. (I am not a nurse, I'm a student). The #1 thing that comes to mind when reading your post is that it...

  6. Starting Pre-Req’s at age 37

    37changes replied to AspiringNurse99's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi, I'm 37changes... lol. Started pre-reqs at, you guessed it -- 37. Will be in my second semester of nursing school when I turn 39. Will be graduated with my ADN before I turn 40. It's just a...

  7. I got in! What should I do now?

    37changes replied to Atljamie's topic in General Students

    I'd go ahead and get the NCLEX-RN app for your phone, and go through the terminology, at least. Go through whatever interests you. Look things up. Absorb. Watch Khan Academy videos for anything...

  8. My husband wakes me up!

    37changes replied to BabyRN_nights's topic in General Nursing

    Ha -- even better! Yes...... see how he likes it when you tell him you've officially decided that is where you must

  9. My husband wakes me up!

    37changes replied to BabyRN_nights's topic in General Nursing

    I really like the hotel idea. Especially if he's involved in the finances at all, and you have a budget. Wouldn't you technically have to pay for 2 nights, in order to be there from like 7:30 am -...

  10. Question for anyone who takes colorful notes!

    37changes replied to misskayy's topic in General Students

    Sharpie makes "pens" that do not bleed through at all. I got a colorful 10-pack on an amazon deal one time, and I love them. They're all I use for notes! They work really well for underlining...

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

    37changes replied to Aa1Bb2Cc3's topic in General Students

    And where you see arrogant, I see confident. Have you read through any of his previous posts? There is a wealth of information, right there for all of us to benefit from. If he didn't care and...

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

    37changes replied to Aa1Bb2Cc3's topic in General Students

    Noctor_Durse is an extraordinary individual who is passionate about learning and has made a concentrated effort to educate himself through a variety of avenues prior to, and in addition to, nursing...

  13. Are anti-vaccine people conspiracy theorists generally?

    37changes replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    No, I don't think they are all conspiracy theorists at all. I think there are a lot of people who just don't feel good, for a variety of reasons. I think there are a lot of those people who have...

  14. Ivy Tech Fall 2017 Hopefuls

    37changes replied to 37changes's topic in School, College Programs

    Well your experience sounds great so far! I can see why you love it. :) We did have one clinical experience with our clinical instructor (she is not our main lab teacher). We went to take blood...

  15. Ivy Tech Fall 2017 Hopefuls

    37changes replied to 37changes's topic in School, College Programs

    One thing that I've figured out about me & lab is this: We were SO busy and focused on fundamentals that first 4 weeks -- not only with study time at home, but having that class take up 3...

    37changes replied to 37changes's topic in School, College Programs

    I'm sorry, I can't remember which campus you are attending? There have been so many people comment here over the past several months. I'm interested in knowing what your schedule is like this...

    37changes replied to 37changes's topic in School, College Programs

    Hey Leadkrm ~ hope you're getting your notifications now! That happens too often, too easily. We just finished 8 weeks of Lab. It seriously felt like getting off a roller coaster! Lol. I...

  18. Passed in 75, 16 months post graduation.

    37changes replied to Miss.LeoRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Interesting that this thread (from JULY) came up in my search today for NRSNG posts ~ and someone from NRSNG had actually been here and posted on it today. I've been searching because I have purchased...

  19. Another "Am I good enough" Post!

    37changes replied to JCadmus's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    At my school, we could take the TEAS two times in two years, and they had to be at least 30 days apart. TEAS Mastery app on my phone was super helpful in narrowing down where I needed to focus in...

  20. Another "Am I good enough" Post!

    37changes replied to JCadmus's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    How bad do you want it? What do you have to lose by taking TEAS again? What could you possibly lose if you

  21. Ivy Tech Fall 2017 Hopefuls

    37changes replied to 37changes's topic in School, College Programs

    Well, it's not one year -- it's 4 semesters. And we do go through the summer at my campus. I cannot imagine having it done in 3 semesters... but hey, I'm not your advisor. We take Pharmacology...

  22. Ivy Tech Fall 2017 Hopefuls

    37changes replied to 37changes's topic in School, College Programs

    Hey, congrats on getting in, you two! Stick around and I'll share advice about how crazy first semester is. :) If your campus is anything like mine, there's not much you can do right now. You wait...

  23. Ivy Tech Fall 2017 Hopefuls

    37changes replied to 37changes's topic in School, College Programs

    I don't know what they are going to do. I've helped as much as I am able to at this point -- everyone has my phone number, and I've offered for them to text me with questions anytime. I even started...

  24. Ivy Tech Fall 2017 Hopefuls

    37changes replied to 37changes's topic in School, College Programs

    Definitely. But it wasn't presented that way AT ALL -- it was very, "We've all been through nursing school, we know how it is" and "You need to be reading, you need to be studying" ... "You need to...

  25. Ivy Tech Fall 2017 Hopefuls

    37changes replied to 37changes's topic in School, College Programs

    The program chair came in today and let us know that several people are in danger of failing out of Fundamentals -- and if that happens, they're out of the program until fall of 2018. I don't know...
