1. Morbid obesity and high carb diet?

   firepilot17 replied to firepilot17's topic in General Nursing

   I'm not sure, just took note of the high carb diet ordered and stopped reading. I should mention that this is a fictional pt in one of my books and no other information is available. But why a high carb diet? Thanks...

2. Morbid obesity and high carb diet?

   firepilot17 posted a topic in General Nursing

   Why would a morbidly obese patient be put on a high carbohydrate diet? I would think the opposite. This pt was admitted for cellulitis of the right lower leg. Why a high carb diet? Thanks...

3. Who else out there is preparing for CPNE? Or just pass it?

   firepilot17 replied to CAYTAYBRY's topic in Online Learning

   I just got the study guide "book" last week and have been looking through it a little. I still have that literacy class to pass, and I'll do that this week. Then nothing left but the CPNE.

7. Do I still need to buy text books after purchasing College Network Study Guide?

   firepilot17 replied to heraldie's topic in Online Learning

   Not sure what she is talking about but the TCN guides seem to be very good to me. I am on NC2 and after reading a topic, I went back and skimmed through the chapters they said to review, and I would have to say TCN hit almost every topic. I would r...

8. EMT-BASIC to RN?

   firepilot17 replied to WorkingOnIt's topic in Online Learning

   I'm a medic in the excelsior program, and my advice is to get your LPN then RN, not medic then RN. If you get your LPN and get a job, they may help pay for the program. Also if you are an LPN, you can skip to NC3. Good luck! By the way, when I gradua...

10. NCLEX Review books

    firepilot17 replied to firepilot17's topic in Online Learning

    I do take the practice tests, and I agree that they are a big help. I was looking for a NCLEX review book that will go over the individual sections as on the NC study guides. For example, an acid-base balance section that will give me a review on a...

11. NCLEX Review books

    firepilot17 posted a topic in Online Learning

    I am going to take NC2 in a few weeks, and I was wondering what NCLEX review books most closely resemble the type of questions I'll see on the Nursing Concept tests. If you have an opinion about any of the review books, please let me know. They are...

    firepilot17 replied to singlelife's topic in Online Learning

    2 weeks ago I took NC1 where I scored a 77%. Practice test A I also got a 77%, practice test B, 82%. So, they are pretty accurate to what you will do on the real thing.

13. Interview Questions When Entering Nursing School

    firepilot17 replied to Maggie in NC's topic in Pre-Nursing

    This was not for a nursing job but the hardest interview question was: Define integrity, and tell us a situation where you showed integrity.

14. Anyone use Excelsior in Ohio??

    firepilot17 replied to RYLEE228's topic in Online Learning

    The first test I bought all the books for and went through the EC study guide. I got a C, and it took a while to go through the books. This time, I spent $36 and bought the college network NC2 study guide on ebay. I'm still going to go through the...

15. Anyone use Excelsior in Ohio??

    firepilot17 replied to RYLEE228's topic in Online Learning

    I'm in northeast ohio and am currently enrolled. I only have to take the nursing courses since I took everything else at a local college. I just finished NC1, and am having a little trouble with study motivation right now, but I plan on taking NC2 ...
