Downloadable Essay Writing Guide for Student Nurses
Review by Stephanie Thibeault, The Student Nurse Forum

Martyn Cooper, webmaster of the Student Nurse Underground, has developed a downloadable "Essay Writing Guide for Student Nurses," which is available free of charge on his website. The writing guide downloads as a Windows Help File that can be used offline (i.e. it can be run alongside your word processor as you work on your essays and term papers!). The guide is fully searchable for keywords, help topics, etc. A great resource for all students, the file is only 28kb, so it downloads fast, even with a slow modem. To get your copy, visit The Student Nurse Underground. Check out the other resources on this site, as well, including essay samples, care plan models, info on ECGs, A&P, Biology and more!

STUDENT NURSE HUMOR

Symptoms of Semester Burnout

  • When your parents inquire about your grades and you sing the Cookie Monster song (C is for cookie, that's good enough for me...)
  • You have spent more time figuring out that you only need a 54% on the final to pass than you have actually spent studying.
  • When you are swamped with homework and spend your time making up a list like this.
  • When you start showering after class rather than before.
  • Visions of the upcoming weekend help you to make it through Monday.

Overheard in the Operating Room

  • Better save that. We'll need it for the autopsy.
  • Wait a minute, if this is his spleen, then what's that?
  • Hand me that...uh...that uh...thingie...
  • Everybody stand back! I lost my contact lens!
  • Could you stop that thing from beating; it's throwing my concentration off.
  • Sterile, shmeril. The floor's clean, right?
  • Anyone see where I left that scalpel?
  • This patient has already had some kids, am I correct?
  • And now we remove the subject's brain and place it in the body of the ape.
  • Oops! Hey, has anyone ever survived 500 ml of this stuff before?
