1. Starting the RN program next month have any suggestions to start studying

   cscb2003 replied to Chance SNRN's topic in General Students

   I would say common lab values, electrolytes, CBC... Message me your email address and I'll send you a list of what we had to memorize. Best of luck to you!

2. Reconstituted math problems. HELP

   cscb2003 replied to KellyT1001's topic in Student Assist

   Let me point you to a website that is sooo helpful for nursing math, dosagehelp.com. It will walk you through each type of problem and there are tons of practice questions (with an explanation of what to do if you get the answer wrong). Best of luc...

3. So ridiculous.

   cscb2003 replied to mariaberry19's topic in General Students

   I would focus more on the PE. Maybe something like, Impaired gas exchanged related to decrease pulmonary perfusion associated with obstruction of pulmonary arterial blood flow by the embolus as evidence by dyspnea, positive for Pulmonary Embolism,...

4. I have to make the 'right' choice.

   cscb2003 replied to StudentOfHealing's topic in General Students

   Nursing only. I would request that anything personal (such as politics) not be posted. If it does not involve events or anything specific to your program it should not be there. That's what they have a personal facebook page for.

5. Skills Check off??

   cscb2003 replied to GodIs082010's topic in General Students

   It's where you demonstrate the skills you have been taught (bed baths, changing the bed with pt in it, catheters etc...). At my school, you get a check list of the exact steps you will be tested on so there are no surprises. It's really not that bi...

6. A few thoughts on Nursing School.

   cscb2003 replied to ShineyNickelRN's topic in General Students

   I feel just like that... and I too love it! I love learning new things and am really enjoying my nursing school experience. My first day of clinicals was def stressful but it's already gotten so much better. Hope your excitement continues, good luck...

7. Nursing Process: Evaluation

   cscb2003 replied to whitneyp's topic in General Students

   Basically you just decide if the goals that you set for your pt have been achieved. For 'partially met' I would say that just means perhaps there was an improvement but not quite all the way there. If 'unmet' you would need to state why not and eit...

8. Why am I so nervous?!

   cscb2003 replied to cscb2003's topic in General Students

   Thanks for all of the encouragement! It is appreciated. I finished my second week today and it was much better! I just decided not to over think everything and just do what I needed to do. I actually had extra time today and was able to help other...

9. Why am I so nervous?!

   cscb2003 posted a topic in General Students

   I feel so ridiculous, I know that it's 'normal' to feel nervous when you first start clinicals, but I am sooo nervous that I am dreading going to my next clinical day tomorrow. I have been looking forward to clinicals since I was doing pre-reqs. My...

10. Will an L&D preceptorship pigeonhole me later on?

    cscb2003 replied to Roberta88's topic in Ob/Gyn

    It seems that your heart is on L&D, if that's the case go for it! Best of luck to you!!!!

11. books - digital, print, new, used??

    cscb2003 replied to ryanalice's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I would talk to your program advisor...tell her your situation and she will more than likely be able to give suggestions or advice on where to find the books you need. I know at my school, they have a large selection of text books that you can use f...

12. What school do you go to? how many people get accepted by your school?

    cscb2003 replied to AlaskaHopeful's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I live in the Texas panhandle and I have applied to a school that accepts around 100. There are at least three other schools around me that I am aware of. Good luck!!

13. My beautiful self..

    cscb2003 replied to youshallbehealed's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the above posters, you are probably just a bit insecure...maybe the language barrier? The library system is an excellent source that you may want to consider. Also, you dont need to feel 'uncomfortable' because you are beautiful. Lots...

14. about to start but not ready.

    cscb2003 replied to rocketberger's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I second what SopranoKris posted. You will have to put some effort into your studies. It def takes commitment, which it sounds like you have. You can get all A's, you'll just have to work hard. You may have to come back and read your post when it...

15. ADN programs without waitlist for fall 2012 or early 2013

    cscb2003 replied to Midwife4tomorrow's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Amarillo, Tx has a great program and there is no waiting list. It is competitive; based off of your pre-req gpa and hesi scores. Good luck!
