1. Did your Nursing counselor give you hope you will get in and you did? (or didnt)

   thelittlemissus replied to Servingshots's topic in General Students

   Yes! I was so nervous so I asked what she thought my chances were. She looked over my file and said, "You have nothing to worry about." My letter came in the mail a month early. However, she was the pre-nursing advisor for everyone at my small school...

2. Annoying and disruptive classmates (vent)

   thelittlemissus replied to 2blessings's topic in General Students

   wow, Thatguy. That was pretty rude. I don't think it has anything to do with that student being a 'nontrad' as you call it. It has more to do with the person's attitude, an attitude that seems much like your own.

3. NS with school age kids-

   thelittlemissus replied to MammaNurse2Be's topic in General Students

   you need back ups to your back ups. You probably do need someone full time and then several back ups just in case. My school is not so forgiving of missing lecture or clinicals. If the poster above went to my school she would have failed. We are allo...

4. Your favorite "tech" solution to help you in nursing school?

   thelittlemissus replied to AOx1's topic in General Students

   I Love onenote as well. I know this is a little off topic but how do you link the programs, I have the skyscape constellation package as well but mine does not pull up drugs and labs associated with Dx that I am aware. So how can I link the programs ...

5. I am such a dissapointment.........

   thelittlemissus replied to amaxiechRN2011's topic in General Students

   You need to say, "So I failed." Now what are you going to do? I'm sure you have invested a lot in nursing school, I am also pretty sure you probably have sacrificed a great deal. Are you going to throw that away for nothing? You need to figure out wh...

7. skills check-offs are killing me!

   thelittlemissus replied to BlackSweater's topic in Student Assist

   you sound like me when I did skills check offs (the instructors always said if you're nervous now wait until you do it on a patient--they were wrong, it is so much easier on a patient). One time we were all checking vitals after skills check offs, mi...

8. Care Plans - What's their purpose? - What do you think of them?

   thelittlemissus replied to jjjoy's topic in General Students

   I think you misunderstood what I wrote, I was venting, sorry. I could do care plans all day long if they consisted of my assessment data and figure out nursing dx, outcomes, and interventions and that was it. It is all of the other stuff that takes h...

9. Need help with my care plan

   thelittlemissus replied to bigboy18's topic in Student Assist

   your goal statements/outcome aren't measurable. So you need to change that. for dx 2 Pain r/t osteoarthritis your goal statement/ outcome statement would be something like Patient/Client will report pain as 3/10 (this should be whatever is acceptable...

10. Care Plans - What's their purpose? - What do you think of them?

    thelittlemissus replied to jjjoy's topic in General Students

    I despise care plans, although I don't mind the psych care plans as the psych teachers made their own separate from the rest of the nursing care plans at our school. The psych care plans are 7-10 pages where as medsurg and ob/peds care plans are 20-2...
