Confessions of a Nursing Student (2 1/2)

I’m a massage therapist and I agree,? this is very disturbing to hear.

The unprofessional way in which you speak of the incident with the C diff patient turns me RIGHT off of your blog. You are going to be a nurse. You are going to be dealing with urine and feces and barf and blood and mucous on a regular basis. THIS IS PART OF THE JOB. Were you not aware of this? If I were your patient who had this problem I would be extremely insulted that you spoke about it like this ON THE WEB. I truly hope that none of my family members is ever in your care as a nurse.

Thanks for sharing even though your editing sucks. There are parts (like the book) where you cut out. Also the music is really loud and then you speak very quietly. Just some constructive criticisim, don’t get me wrong, I like you sharing this with everyone.

I am a first year of BN, i find it pretty good, i am very anxious for clinical.. However i am worried that i may not have the stomach. I am determined however and i will finish this course because i really want to help people

I totally agree on the Pharm flash cards…they are a must have.

Hi! I’m just starting my 1st semester of nursing and I’m really excited! I just wanted to say this is a cute video!! and also, where did you get that book what’s it’s title and where can I get it from?? Thanks alot! Your video’s are really cute and give me hope that I CAN do this no matter how hard it is!!! Thanks, Cassie

i can totally relate to everything you’re saying about nursing school….i’m still there and its the hardest thing ever but i’m having so much fun.

LOL at confession #1

im starting nursing this year in late august and im reallly nervous that im not going to be good at it or that its going to be extremely hard any advice?

omg confession #1 makes me not want to be a nurse xD

Hey thanks for the video I’m studying Bachelor of Nursing/Bachelor of Applied Science (Psychology) in Australia, and am in second year.

It’s good to see that a student is getting up and sharing their experiences. You have learned a lot in the time that you’ve been at uni

Do you find that if you hear the word “Rationale” you want to vomit? LOL I do!

I’m hoping to get my grad year in general nursing, then do my post-grad in Psych or ED… We’ll see!

Let me know how you’re going!!

she is EXTREMELY cute!

cool i didn’t know that! stumble upon this video by way lol

She called it a “brief” initially, then called it a diaper to clarify for people watching the video. I was taught to call them “depends”, but everyone at the hospitals calls them diapers. And I figure it’s okay to call them diapers as long as your not in front of the patient. I personally call them what ever the pt prefers.

Just took NCLEX, I read 2 different prep books and NCLEX questions had nothing to do with any of it. It is all pharm, and teaching.

thank you hanna i have nursing background, i got the opportunity to do a year at a nursing home fell in love with it so i decided to do pre-nursing this summer on line do you have any advice you seem so educated thank you

you do not say diaper when dealing with adults….you say pad.

Thank you so much for creating these videos. I’m considering going back to school to get a second degree in nursing. These videos are a great help.

Hello, I was just wondering if you could tell me what that book you were refering to was called, thank you so much can’t wait to see more videos.

Hannah, your vlog absolutely helps in a personal way. I get good grades but when I go to clinicals and deal with real patients it is so much different. Thx for the vids!

I have a question about 1st semester clinicals: Were you nervous and how long did it take you to overcome it? I just finished my very first rotation (8 visits to TCU). We don’t have partners. I’m having a hard time getting over thoughts such as, “I don’t want to wake them up,” “I don’t want to interrupt their visitors,” etc.

Hey hannah!
Thanks again for this great video! I am starting out with my pre req’s at a community college and hoping to get nto an accel BSN prog in NJ! Any good advice? I start with A&P 1 this summer.. This thread is so helpful!

Hey Hannah. I just recently graduated from Nursing school in December 2008. I just took my boards yesterday..YIKESS. I was laughing when you said the earliest you woke up was at 4:45. Get prepared, the earliest to get up was at 2:45 am to go to a psych clinical. GRR. LOL about the catheters, i concur. It is a lot of hard work, and when it comes to taking boards make sure to take the Kaplan review. IF you want to email me any questions email me and put in the subject box (nursing question)

Its the prentice hall NCLEX review book…it should be in the discription…on the righthand side of your screen. Its really good. So helpful!

hey how are you i just came upon your website adn was wondering what exactly was the book you were talking about all i heard was comprehensive review

I don’t think I do, because I’ve never heard of it before. We take the NCLEX when we graduate. I have started studying for NCLEX I try to do a handful of questions a day…
