1. Will better blood glucose control prevent further foot ulcer damage?

   cheesecakesquared replied to cheesecakesquared's topic in Endocrine

   Thank you thank you! This is what I was thinking. Also I was wondering if the patient had an amputated foot already if there would be any benefit to the skin itself in improving glucose control? If the patient had a foot amputated, could it be poss...

2. Passing NCLEX versus teaching students nursing skills...which is your school?

   cheesecakesquared replied to kayak133's topic in General Students

   My school is like this. Apparently we have some of the best NCLEX results in the state, big whoop. However, our teachers rarely do demonstrations in lab or help us. We are expected to watch these videos and then go to lab and know what to do. A d...

   cheesecakesquared replied to ILovetorun's topic in General Students

   My boyfriend's friend was taking calculus (all the way up to calc 3) and mentioned about how that is so much harder than nursing school. I was upset because it's not really harder imo, it's just different. I don't see calculus clinicals with people...

8. I hate chemistry!

   cheesecakesquared replied to JennyNurse2B's topic in Pre-Nursing

   The good news is that you will probably never see this stuff again in nursing. Chem is such a little part of the big picture. Hang in there

9. A and P getting harder during midterms and on?

   cheesecakesquared replied to Hibbzem17's topic in Pre-Nursing
