7. Nursing Drug Reference Recommendations

   MistyLou replied to Nursing4Sure's topic in General Students

   Definitely Davis's and Mosby's, but something that helped me from being overwhelmed by the drug guide was the Nurse's Med Deck (also from Davis). With the Med Deck, we were able to pull the drug card and underline in pencil the pertinent information...

10. What schools use cadavers?

    I go to Rhodes State in Lima, OH and we use cadavers. Is it possible your instructor doesn't have his facts straight when it comes to this? I think it's fairly common practice.

11. does it help to have CNA experience in clinical nursing school

    MistyLou replied to hali's topic in Student Assist

    I'm confused by that too. By "detaching" are you insinuating that they have a hard time separating wiping butts/doing bed baths from delagating those tastk to the butt wipers/bed bath givers? :rotfl: If so, that's one of the most hilarious things I...

12. Meds Publishing Website

    MistyLou replied to smckenzi's topic in General Students

    We use it. I have found it really helpful in preparing before exams. My school says it has improved overall test scores and preparedness for the NClex. I've heard mixed reviews on that one though. I think they charge me $65/ qtr to have access.

    MistyLou replied to NOLANURSERN's topic in Pre-Nursing

    You'd be surprised what you retain! Our A&P instructor had us do the same thing by making out a table and memorizing it. I have an exam Tuesday in Pharm over the Endocrine system and so much of that exact stuff is on our exam. It actually make...

14. does it help to have CNA experience in clinical nursing school

    MistyLou replied to hali's topic in Student Assist

    I never worked as an STNA/CNA before starting nursing school and received high marks clinically; however, I always felt unprepared/uncoordinated and uncomfortable. 3 qtrs later I was still feeling the same way. I was offered a tech position from on...

15. at what point in NS

    MistyLou replied to Ready's topic in General Students

    I'm starting my fourth qtr next month and clinically, I have yet to insert a cath or NG tube. Working as a tech, however, I have done both! Basically, I can do everything that I've learned in nursing school up to this point with the exception of an...
