1. Common Pediatric Meds?

   mom2ccg replied to ForeverDreaming's topic in Pediatric

   [quote=KelRN215;8591961 mom22ccg, I am surprised that you use toradol in your pedi heme/onc patients. Ours are not allowed to get any NSAIDs. We often give schedule Toradol to our Sickle Cell patients when they are admitted for pain crisis.

5. kaplan vs hurst?

   mom2ccg replied to aidafm's topic in NCLEX

   I depends on what your needs are. I chose Hurst because I needed more content review and had no problem with the NCLEX-style test questions. Good luck!!

6. First day reality check

   mom2ccg replied to 2bNurseCai's topic in General Students

   I have worked full-time since I began nursing school and was pretty much told the same thing. I am here to tell you it can be done. I have made all A's with the exception of one B (missed an A by less than a point). Time management is key. Don't ...

7. Nursing school and working PT???

   mom2ccg replied to xxkmpxx's topic in General Students

   Absolutely it is possible. I work full time as a CNA in a hospital on the weekends (nights) and have managed to make A's in my nsg classes. As someone has said, time management is key and lots of support from hubby. I actually think my job has hel...

8. When did you start using NCLEX review books??

   mom2ccg replied to heroldbe's topic in General Students

   I started using my NCLEX book during my first med/surg class and I have used it for Peds, OB and now my second Med/surg class. It has been amazing. It is the Saunders and I can't say enough about it. I don't think you could ever practice that styl...

   mom2ccg replied to DNP2023's topic in General Students

   The books I use most are my drug guide book, nursing care plan book, and my Saunder's NCLEX book. I use them all the time.

    mom2ccg replied to Mrs.Priss's topic in Uniform/Gear

    I have the rasberry Littmann too and love it. Works great. I thought I would have an unusual color but of the 19 in my lab class 4 of us had the exact same color. Great minds :) Good luck with school.

    mom2ccg replied to Crazed's topic in General Students

    We wear all white which I'm not thrilled about but we can choose any brand we want which is great.

    mom2ccg replied to GeauxNursing's topic in Uniform/Gear

    I have three Danskos and two of them are 38 and the other is 37. I usually wear a 7.5. Definitely try on before you buy. They vary slightly.

13. Nursing school and work??

    mom2ccg replied to doreenstarr1's topic in General Students

    I had the very same question a year ago. I was so worried that I wouldn't be able to make the grades and work full time. I didn't have a choice and i am still nervous going into my last year that I will be able to continue my success. The bigggest...

14. Did anyone think that A&P II was an easier course than A&P I?

    mom2ccg replied to Ev1987's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I don't know if A and P 2 was easier but certainly more interesting to me therefore making it easier to study for and learn. Made A's in both but if I had to do one over again it would be AP2. Just my opinion.

15. Did you learn IV in NS?!

    mom2ccg replied to tammy_zeidan09's topic in General Students
