  1. Managed to pass!

    Thanks for all the good wishes. Well, when the exam started, I sat and looked at the screen, and shook my head, because I felt like, "Was I there that day?" Some of the questions were so obscure, I couldn't even tell what in the heck they wanted me ...
  2. Anybody do In-Patient Hospice?

    I am working in our Palliative Care/Hospice Unit at our hospital. I am with the most incredible set of nurses! I've never met nurses like these. They are all the most loving and compassionate nurses I know. We have a 14 bed unit, and occasionally ...
  3. Managed to pass!

    I'm not sure how I managed to pass the NCLEX, because most of the questions were things that I think I had NO clue about. I must have been blessed with a smarter mouse than I thought I would get! :) It was hard! I cried all the way home, cause I th...

  5. Comments about clinical rotation.

    I certainly will tell her. I tell her when I see her doing something special, and I ask a lot of "why did you do it that way" questions. She is so patient. :)
  6. I started my next to last rotation about 3 weeks ago, and ended up in Hospice for my Home Health rotation. I am the only one in the class who wanted to go to Hospice. I am also the only LPN in the class, and most likely the only one who has experie...
  7. Chemistry. Have NO clue as to what in the H*** I was supposed to be learning. The prof was a MS in Chem, and was a paper mill chemical engineer, trying to teach a bunch of nursing students about atoms and other miscellania.......never did get it. ...
  8. Help me study for A&P

    I loved my coloring books. I am very much a visual learner, and that really cemented the facts for me. I used a lot of flash cards, the Hole's anatomy site, and various diagrams and sayings and etc to memorize all the info. I also used taped lectur...
  9. All seniors, come say hi!!!!

    Me, too! Me too! I graduate May 22, but school is over on the 16th. I am currently a LPN, working as a temp. I think I will stay with this for a while and build up some $$ to move out of state. I also will enjoy just working and not running frant...
  10. Study Tips & Hints

    I also taped the lectures, listened to them all the time. Flash cards worked good for me. Transcribing my notes onto a word processor helped, too. Decide what kind of a learner you are, and do it that way. I am a visual learner, and the more I cop...
  11. Dosage calc/math for meds question

    I ALWAYS have a calculator in my grubby little pocket! I am the worst of the math impaired in my school, I think! We can use them for tests and etc. in school. They warned us not to come to class without them. I've never heard anyone say we couldn'...
  12. I am very disappointed in myself!!

    Happened to me, too. I wanted so badly to graduate with honors. Now I am just wanting to GRADUATE, period. I wanna get this torture over with so I can go out there and do some nursing. Hang in there. It won't matter once school is over. M
  13. Aaayiyiyiyiyi!!!!!!! Grades Are In!!!!

    Way to go! I ended Nursing III with a C, but earned every bit of it, considering 20 people FAILED the final! I am very happy with my C. I wanted an A, and had an A average when I started this class, but NOBODY got an A, so I am not complaining. Get...

  15. You Know You're a Nurse When...

    I wanted to tell him that they would amputate it at the neck, but restrained myself. This is not a very nice kid, but when you are a nurse and pain is there, you have to do something. I wanted to slap his mother, she was more hysterical than the ki...
