   Yes, it went to the good popup about 5 hours after I finished my test.

2. Can I practice on you?

   FreshLittleStudent replied to Joe V's topic in Humor

   One of the girls in my class wanted to practice inserting a NG. No one volunteered so she did it to herself... I practiced that stressful head to toe (fundamentals) on my 7 year old.

3. "The candidate currently has test results that are on hold"

   FreshLittleStudent replied to bluebonnet12's topic in NCLEX

   This particular popup has caused me to hyperventilate and my BP to go through the roof. I have always been a fast test taker in class and on Kaplans (usually finished with 100-180 before the rest of my class is close to 30-50). I spent a grand total ...

   1. Make sure that your cuff size fits your person. 80% of the arm's circumference and measure the width of your cuff (put it vertical) on the place that you are going to be taking the blood pressure to be sure that it covers half or slightly more the...

7. Ethical dilemma's nurses face

   FreshLittleStudent replied to RainzRN's topic in Student Assist

   My ethics project that I am doing for my class is genetic counseling and focusing on the abortion option that mothers are faced with if the results come up as abnormal.

8. Old good popup still applicable?

   FreshLittleStudent replied to notyetnurse's topic in NCLEX

   I got the same message after I got home and had been cut off at 85 for the PN test. I felt pretty good after but I hate to think of what they might of thought of my drawings for all of those ordering questions.

10. Equipment needed for School

    FreshLittleStudent replied to number8's topic in General Students

    Cheaper to use the printer ink at school LOL. I had my little netbook with an aftermarket battery that lasts 12 hours to get me through theory. Classrooms don't seem to understand that students need plugs! (My theory class had 1 plug behind the teach...

    FreshLittleStudent replied to Ayala's topic in General Students

    I am about to have my head to toe tomorrow...56% of my health assessment grade. I understand your nerves PERFECTLY. What HAS helped me get through my nursing fundamentals semester is simply taking things one day at a time. I would get so overly worke...

13. Another one, or two, bite the dust!!!

    FreshLittleStudent replied to clandestine-approach's topic in General Students

    I WISH we could get as low as a 75% in my nursing program. The program I am in considers anything less than 84% a fail and they will NOT round up. They also don't believe that students should get 100% on anything because "If you get 100%, you should ...

14. What do you ACTUALLY DO in clinicals?

    FreshLittleStudent replied to Nolander's topic in General Students

    I just got done with my first semester of clinicals. We were in a nursing home and for a majority of our day, we spent doing what would be the CNA's job. I helped move patients, clean them, and sometimes even digitally removed stool. We fed the patie...
