1. This may be a silly question..

   skulskcc01 replied to CRNBSN18's topic in General Students

   I work on a tele floor and have never had to use an otoscope. Someone correct me if I am wrong, but unless you specialize or work at a doctor's office you will never use one.

2. Large dose of reality just received!

   skulskcc01 replied to RainbowDash's topic in General Students

   I think this is said to every nursing student starting out. My professor said it to my class. In reality, nursing school has not been that bad thus far.

3. Nursing school and working

   skulskcc01 replied to mcguenzi's topic in General Students

   First semester I worked about 36 hrs a week, second semester about 27 hrs a week, and now I am starting my third semester and I plan on working 16 hrs a week. So far I have done very well in my classes, but I hear the third semester is a beast.

   Good luck!!!

5. Study groups?

   skulskcc01 replied to lace2010's topic in General Students

   I personally don't do well in a study group. They have always turned into a gab session and were not productive. I am in nursing school to become a nurse, not make friends; as harsh as that may seem it works for me. I start my third semester this fal...

6. How do you do a study group?

   skulskcc01 replied to KLBatchelor's topic in General Students

   I may be one of the select few, but a study group does not work for me. Anytime I have attempted to study with a study group it always turned into a gab session. Also, I recall a time when I was doing nclex study questions with a group and another st...

7. Good study method or too OCD?

   skulskcc01 replied to CRNBSN18's topic in General Students

   I am the same way. The nursing instructors scared the crap out of me in my first semester saying "You must read or you will fail!!!". So, I read for the first exam and boy was it a waste of time. After that exam I just took notes in class and read my...

8. Interview with a pain clinic- red flags?

   skulskcc01 replied to Rocketeer's topic in Job Hunt

   In my area and many others (according to many posts on this website) the job market isn't as hoppin' as it use to be. The poster clearly stated she was interested in working in a pain management clinic. If the interview goes well and it is a reputabl...

   skulskcc01 replied to Rocketeer's topic in Job Hunt

   I agree completely.

10. What EXACTLY is a care plan?

    skulskcc01 replied to DisneyNurseGal's topic in General Students

    Amazon.com: All-in-One Care Planning Resource: Medical-Surgical, Pediatric, Maternity, and Psychiatric Nursing Care Plans (All-In-One Care Planning Resource: Med-Surg, Peds, Maternity, & Psychiatric Nursing) (9780323044165): Pamela L. Swearingen ...

11. What EXACTLY is a care plan?

    skulskcc01 replied to DisneyNurseGal's topic in General Students

    For me, what makes doing a care plan so long is writing up all of the meds. Names, side effects, classes, route, dose, frequency, pharmological action. At my school our care plans consist of an assessment tool for each system then we have to write up...

12. Help with practice questions :)

    skulskcc01 replied to skulskcc01's topic in General Students

    I thought it was the ice pack too. Every book I look in says it is priority during the first 24 hrs.

    i am waiting for my teacher to post the answer sheet... it could take a while.

14. Help with practice questions :)

    skulskcc01 posted a topic in General Students

    So, one of my professors just posted some optional review material to prepare us for next semester. I have done a couple of the assignments. So far, I have came across a couple questions that I am unsure about. If anyone can help a fellow nursing stu...

15. Anyone else feel this way?

    skulskcc01 replied to Crazed_NS's topic in General Students

    It is completely normal. I am going into my 3rd semester and I am excited yet scared. I want to be a nurse so badly, yet I hear horror stories of people failing. It scares me even though I got a 92 in semester I and a 93 in semester II. But that fear...
