1. Is it possible to work full-time and be a full-time nursing student?

   2bNurseCai replied to futureRN_'s topic in Pre-Nursing

   I worked 40 hrs a week and went to nursing school full time. It was hard and there were times where my work or my school work suffered because of it. However I never pulled in anything less than a B and I am graduating from nursing school tonight. If...

   Oh my goodness, thanks for all of your responses. Now I just have to pore over them all :) *disappears into the site*

4. Help with cardiac physiology

   2bNurseCai posted a topic in Student Assist

   Is anyone out there good at explaining how cardiac physiology works; particularly the depolarization/repolarization of the cells and how it correlates to phases 0-4 and what that means in the conduction process? I've read it several times in my text ...

5. In a Funk!

   2bNurseCai replied to RN-4Ever's topic in General Students

   Me too! I know most of it has to do with working full time along with school; so that when I'm home at night I'm too tired and unmotivated to do much. Plus I find myself getting easily distracted. Just gotta keep plugging away...

6. Nursing School Bag - Vera Bradley

   2bNurseCai replied to musaafirah's topic in General Students

   I'm sure it hasn't crossed your mind, but did it ever occur to you that there is, in fact, a middle ground? When I say I enjoy looking a bit feminine, I did not mean (or mention for that matter) overdone makeup (I wear none), fancy jewelry (my weddin...

   2bNurseCai replied to jjyiz28's topic in General Students

   That's exactly what I meant; oops!! Clearly can't study and browse here at the same time.

9. Nursing School Bag - Vera Bradley

   2bNurseCai replied to musaafirah's topic in General Students

   I agree! I spend 99% of my life in scrubs between school and work; nothing wrong with wanting to look and feel a little feminine! If someone is going to judge a nurse based on the color of her scrubs rather than her skills and knowledge, then it soun...

10. Case Study question

    2bNurseCai posted a topic in Student Assist

    This may seem like a no brainer question, but I feel like either I'm overthinking it or missing something completely, so I am looking for some help. I am doing a cardiac case study and my patient has just been discharged with an order for nitro. The ...

11. Cardiac/Tele Apps

    2bNurseCai replied to 2bNurseCai's topic in General Students

    That's so helpful! :) I mean I know there's always going to be the people who are rude and use their phones for personal stuff on the floor, but this technology we have now can be so beneficial to learning! I wish more places were more open minded ab...

12. Cardiac/Tele Apps

    2bNurseCai replied to 2bNurseCai's topic in General Students

    This is actually the first semester we've been encouraged to use our phones. My clinical this time around is at a small regional facility; maybe they're less upright than big name places?

13. Cardiac/Tele Apps

    2bNurseCai posted a topic in General Students

    Hi all :) I am beginning a med surg clinical rotation on Monday on a Tele floor. Cardiac is not my strong suit and we haven't gone over reading rhythms yet in lecture. Any good apps out there that I can use to help me with cardiac and/or tele during ...

14. Help with Maternity Case Study

    2bNurseCai replied to 2bNurseCai's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I agree about the methergine; the risks definitely don't outweigh the benefits. As to why she's on it or why she's on so much fluid, the case study doesn't say and doesn't give me the option of changing it. It's more of a question and answer type stu...

15. Nursing journal

    2bNurseCai replied to 2bNurseCai's topic in General Nursing
