   I graduated my ADN program last May and was immediately blessed by receiving a job offer from the facility where I worked as a CNA during school...I accepted the job and loved working there! However, due to family reasons, I had to relocate at the en...

2. Priotizing nursing diagnoses list

   Jaynie_Marie replied to Jaynie_Marie's topic in Student Assist

   As far as I am aware, they are all NANDA approved diagnoses. When writing up nursing diagoses for the care plan I do need list the R/Ts and AEBs, and I do have them for the diagnoses I listed, I just didn't type them up here because I don't have inte...

5. Anyone doing well 1st semester?

   Jaynie_Marie replied to CeeCee82's topic in General Students

   First semester rocks!!! I am loving it!!! I study a lot and do all of the reading (of which there is a ton, of course...), but it is worth it. I got a 98% on my first Fundamental's exam, a 86 on my first Pharmacology exam (not really the score I wan...

6. Where do YOU sit in class?

   Jaynie_Marie replied to Caribbean Character's topic in General Students

   I try to sit in the first or second row. I am a very visual person, and sitting further back provides sooo many more distractions (people seat-dancing, playing with pencils, windows, etc)! Of course I also find it very hard to sit still during lectur...

8. Adult Family Home vs Skilled Nursing Facility

   Jaynie_Marie replied to rosey200735's topic in CNA/MA

   I have done both (at the same time) and the adult family home is definitely less stressful. The home I worked at had two residents - both of whom needed some assistance with showering and making sure they took care of daily personal hygiene, but it w...

9. What did/do you dissect in A&P lab?

   Jaynie_Marie replied to __patiently_waiting's topic in Pre-Nursing

   A cow eye, sheep brain, sheep heart, sheep kidney, and something else that I can't remember right now. My instructor for the course is a vet (he works primarily with farm animals) so he has access to animal parts at a decent price.

    Jaynie_Marie replied to STLmomma27's topic in General Students

    There are many people in this world, in this country, who do not have access to healthcare. My desire is to provide healthcare to these people and make an impact on even just a few lives.

12. Would you miss the first day of class?

    Jaynie_Marie replied to ames86's topic in General Students

    I would check with the hospital and with your instructors to see if one of them would be willing to work with you on this. However, at my school (no matter what semester you are in) if you miss the first day of class you automatically forfeit your sp...

    Jaynie_Marie replied to seahawksfanguy's topic in General Students

    I've been wondering about storage clipboards, as well, and I even looked at them at Office Max the other day. Thanks for asking about them OP, and I will be very interested in the responses you get. :-)
