1. Care Plan - All these Nursing Dx opposite of what I want

   Mom&Wifetoo replied to adnrnstudent's topic in Student Assist

   Is the pt nauseous if they aren't on the med? If so then it is a legit Nursing Dx, and the med is one of your interventions.

2. Profs who round down damper my day

   Mom&Wifetoo replied to esunada's topic in General Students

   The last 2 semesters I have been 0.02 (which was 1 question in ALL the tests) away from an A (which is a 92% BTW, not a 90%) and I still get a B. The same grade that a person who gets a 83.0% gets. Sure it frustrates me, but that is part of nursing s...

3. Is this nursing?

   Mom&Wifetoo replied to S/N Tony Phillips's topic in General Students

   To answer your question, yes, that is the very core and basics of nursing. It is pt care. Regardless of whether you are passing meds, or assisting to the restroom, you are nursing that person back to a healthy state. No you won't always get those won...

4. I need some therapeutic communication!!!

   Mom&Wifetoo replied to VltSW34's topic in General Students

   Hope this makes you feel better....I got a 91.9% last semester, which is an A in ANY other degree course. However, since the nursing program likes to make everything harder I got a B, because a 92% is an A at our school. 1 question, on ANY test the w...

5. Anyone get away with a "questionable" hair shade?

   Mom&Wifetoo replied to Little Miss Blue's topic in General Students

   I think we must go to the same school LOL To the OP though, the above is all true of my school, AND we are in all white, must be perfectly laundered and pressed uniforms, with no athletic style shoes, only Danskos or the like, etc, etc. Plus, if yo...

6. What Stethoscope do I purchase for nursing school?

   Mom&Wifetoo replied to luv2garden's topic in Uniform/Gear

   I purchased mine from the same place, and had mine engraved. Great price and great scope!!

7. Saw a car accident; I wish I was already a nurse!

   Mom&Wifetoo replied to happy2learn's topic in General Students

   Just an FYI, in Ca you are protected under the "Good Samaritan Law". You cannot be sued as long as you are practicing within your scope. My hubby is a FF/PM and I made that comment once, that I wouldn't want him to do anything because here in Ca peop...

8. med surg...stresssssing me out! helppp/I want to hear your stories!

   Mom&Wifetoo replied to Ericad85's topic in General Students

   Med/Surg I is first semester for us. I think it was pretty simple to be honest. A lot of the info was common sense, or so I think. Listen well in lecture and study like you have been and you should be fine! We start Med/Surg II in fall and already th...

9. Riverside Community College or Citrus College ADN?

   Mom&Wifetoo replied to mcp3's topic in General Students

   I would go to RCC just based on what I have heard about their program vs Citrus. RCC has a much higher pass rate on the boards and has an established reputation. Either way, congrats! And as long as you do what you are supposed to, both programs wil...

10. Chaffey College in south cali

    Mom&Wifetoo replied to want2banurse09's topic in California

    The recent graduating class finished with 50% of the original class. A friend of mine went to Mt SAC a few years ago, and I asked her what the percentage of originals was, and she said 50%. SO here is my theory on this...you can go to Chaffey and hav...

11. Nursing School Dilemma

    Mom&Wifetoo replied to Adams_Mama_07's topic in General Students

    To the OP: First of all CONGRATS!! You are happy about it, and that is all that matters! At least you know this child is coming into the world with one person who is beyond thrilled about them!!!! And lets all be honest, if we all waited for the "per...

12. how many uniforms to buy?

    Mom&Wifetoo replied to sajohnston1978's topic in General Students

    We have clinicals once a week, and also have insanely pricey uniforms. Ours were $100/uniform (not including price of patch, or sewing the patch on), plus $50 for the coat, but it is just one of those hoops to jump through. :) That being said, I boug...

13. Fall 2010 Applicants in Southern California

    Mom&Wifetoo replied to LillbrenLBC's topic in General Students

    I just wanted to give a little heads up for you, while you are right about the cheaper, I am not so sure about the easier :) ADN programs are no joke, or at least where I go! Many of the people where I attend were working and have since quit. Good lu...

14. Ontario Nurse (to be hopefully)

    Mom&Wifetoo replied to SheGotAway's topic in International

    If you are really serious about going on I would talk to the nursing counselor at the colleges you plan to attend. I cannot say for Canada (heck not even for the rest of the US) but here is California a ADN or a BSN don't really matter at the entry l...
