1. Reading textbooks

   Buff77 replied to Buff77's topic in General Students

   Amen! With Medsurg II (2 books), Psych (3 books), Gerontology (1 book), and Research (1 book), keeping up is virtually impossible! Perhaps I'll give your suggestion a try- skim and focus on the key points... and of course the PPT's are always a good ...

2. Reading textbooks

   Buff77 replied to Buff77's topic in General Students

   It's not as much about cutting corners as it is about getting everything done that needs to get done while still maintaining sanity. I would LOVE to have the time to read everything, but I literally don't. I'm with you- doing all the assigned reading...

   I'm in my third semester, and what you are doing sounds like a great plan. That is basically what I have been doing (and focusing heavily on lecure notes), but this semester seems to be heavier on the reading, so I hope I'm not doomed! Good luck to y...

   Has anyone out there ever completed all the reading required of you during nursing school? I'm in an accelerated program, and with 19 credit hours, multiple clinical rotations, papers, care plans, projects, and oh yeah, a life, it seems utterly impos...

8. Clinical experience- difficulty w/ primary nurse

   Buff77 posted a topic in General Students

   If I should end up with a primary nurse during a clinical rotation that has no interest in helping students (or is having a bad day, or is just an unfriendly nurse), what should I do? I haven't experienced this yet, but I have heard of others who hav...

   Thanks Daytonite for lots of great info... I will peruse and hopefully improve my "careplanning" for the fall!

10. Care plan practice?

    Buff77 posted a topic in General Students

    Does anyone know of any websites or books out there that offer sample patient charts that would allow for one to complete a practice care plan? I know, it sounds masochistic, but I have some time off from the accelerated BSN program I'm in, and the f...
