   Kabuto_ replied to tbnurse1's topic in General Students

   Stay above it all but don't be too isolated. Do not take sides. Many of your colleagues couldn't care less if you fail out of nursing school. Be stoic and get out of nursing school with a degree.

2. Pharmacology - best way to learn

   Kabuto_ replied to ArrowRN's topic in Student Assist

   I would go with flow charts. With a flow chart you can make sense of their main system. So if you have a CNS medication you can pretty much say it affects the CNS, or if you have an anti-diarrheal (digestive system). Then with adverse reactions, toxi...

3. Schools misrepresenting clinical site locations

   Kabuto_ replied to LPNtoRNin2016OH's topic in General Students

   Is there any employment related benefit of having placements in the community setting? It's unfortunate and I may look into transferring to another school downtown if my school selects placements in a preschool again. Community placements might be be...

4. If you had this labour and delivery question on a test which answer would you pick?

   Kabuto_ replied to Kabuto_'s topic in Student Assist

   ****, I feel so bad asking people about this question. I asked my teacher last week, she said I can pick the same stage for each mechanism. So Stages are 1. ROM 2. Ferguson's 2. Crowning So I got it wrong. I still came out with 80, thankfully.

6. Failed preceptorship

   Kabuto_ replied to Spurse32's topic in General Nursing

   These are some stupid mistakes. Especially the random insulin vial? Why didn't you tell the teacher it was lying there? Nervous?

8. Did You Know the Specialty You Wanted to Work In Before Clinicals?

   Kabuto_ replied to Shookclays's topic in General Nursing

   It was public health, then I wanted to travel. Now I just want NICU. I realized it when I bathed a baby in Post Partum, an I doing L&D, I don't like it very much. I'm a male nurse and I often have to switch patients. I missed a vag delivery and i...

9. Why the double standard.

   Kabuto_ replied to RN2364's topic in Men

   Probably because I want expressed verbal consent.. I'm not doing anything without it.

10. Any men in OB?

    Kabuto_ replied to CalebRN's topic in Men

    Why? I did Post Partum and Labour Delivery clinicals these past few weeks and I realized that it's not for me. I like the NICU though after I did two tours in that area.

12. Do you NEED a study group to get through nursing school?

    Kabuto_ replied to Student2017555's topic in Student Assist

    Nobody wants to form a study group when I asked. So I study by myself. One thing though, they use my quizlet notes that I make for myself and study with that. I really don't know half the people using my notes. People claim to be lone wolfing but my ...

14. STUDY? HOW?!!!

    Kabuto_ replied to kvn813's topic in Pre-Nursing

    During mid-terms when I was failing Anatomy I turned to flashcards and quizlet, which is an online flashcard site. I looked at my flashcards from my phone and studied every night, while I was on the bus, while I was eating lunch, dinner etc. Basicall...

15. Laptop suggestions

    Kabuto_ replied to nativenurse2b2017's topic in General Students

    I'd get anything by ASUS, there's some 15" and 11" laptops there. You can run windows on a Mac also, so it's not impossible to run school software. I'm not sure how good you are with computers so here's some instructions here. https://support.apple....
