4. How common is charting ahead in ICU?

   MeganB1983 replied to SilleLu's topic in Critical

   We use epic and can chart an hour early. I'm on the med surg floor so charting early is hardly an option, I'm always so busy. We do Q4 assessments and if I did my assessment at 2300 instead of 0000 I wouldn't think anything of it to chart ahead (on ...

5. Breckinridge school of nursing

   MeganB1983 replied to carlahall29's topic in General Students

   I graduated from Breckinridge @ ITT Tech in 2013 from the Merrillville, Indiana campus. I had my likes and dislikes. I liked the fact that it is very small. I don't like the huge university setting so this was a PRO for me. Teachers, administrators, ...

   I was slacking big time because of the holidays. I was so busy! I started the Hurst review on January 6th and haven't gone a day without studying somehow. Even if it's reciting lab values in the shower haha.

8. Passed!! A positive story

   Congratulations! I take my exam Feb 3rd and I am just a wreck! I feel like no matter what I study, it won't be effective and I'll get a bunch of questions that I don't know. I did the Hurst review this week and have been studying like crazy. I can'...

9. My 2nd day of class

   MeganB1983 replied to Snowangel7390's topic in General Students

   As far as trying to keep up with the instructor while she lectures, invest in a voice recorder. iPhones have that option built in but that seriously saved me many times!!

10. Help dont know what to do with concept map

    MeganB1983 replied to sweetcara's topic in Student Assist

    You don't have info written down from your patient? I would talk to your instructor because it will be next to impossible to put together a concept map when you don't have any meds written down.

11. People say the funniest things in school...

    MeganB1983 replied to Joe V's topic in General Students

    When we started nursing school, our instructor asked us all to introduce ourselves and say a little something about what made us want to become a nurse. One girl who is OBSESSED with animals says "I really wanted to become a veterinarian but I can't ...

12. I'm not sure if I'm going to fail or not.

    MeganB1983 replied to smills130's topic in General Students

    It also depends on how much each exam is worth. Our exams equal out to 50% of our grade, quizzes are 5%, assignments are 10% and final is 35%

    There are times during the semester where it won't be a problem but then there will be times where your grades will suffer.
