  1. Dialysis to Med-Surg unit?

    I would say try to get some medsurg experience if you're unsure of what you really want to do. It exposes you to a lot of different patients and helps with assessment. You just see so much variety, but after a while it gets old. I've been doing it...
  2. NURS 3352 Legacy of the Family Start Date 5/20/2013

    It seems like a lot of this assignment is based on chapters we haven't read yet. Kind of irritating.
  3. NURS 4325 Research Start Date 5/20/2013

    I agree. Unnecessary and nearly inappropriate.
  4. NURS 3352 Legacy of the Family Start Date 5/20/2013

    This reading seriously seems like it's dragging a bit... at least for me. I'm glad Mrs. Doubtfire is on the movie list :)
  5. NURS 4325 Research Start Date 5/20/2013

    This class is so strange already. I still am not sure what the coaches/teachers are expecting from us, especially with these assignments. It's kind of unnerving to have to rely on other group members in an online course.
  6. NURS 4325 Research Start Date 5/20/2013

    I'll be in research 5/20 as well. Hope it goes smoothly!
  7. NURS 3425 Holistic Health starting 04/08/2013

    Definitely annoying the quiz is due Friday instead of Sunday.. and assignments are due Thursday after this week! Ugh.
  8. Sketchers Go-Walk shoes. HEAVENLY. New Balance tennis shoes still let my feet hurt, but after running back and forth all day, the go-walk shoes help my feet stay comfortable. I wish I had known about them during school.
  9. N3325 Holistic Care of Older Adults

    I'll be starting this course on the 5th! Hopefully it's not too bad.
  10. I feel very overwhelmed about my clinicals.

    I remember being afraid to try something new in clinicals. I think I had that apprehension all the way up to landing my 1st job last month. But really, if the teacher asked you to read over injections a weekend ahead of time that is something that ...
  11. Clinical Preps Rant

    This sounds just like my old nursing program. I graduated in May and I do NOT miss clinical prep paperwork! (I just hate the paperwork at my current job... haha). But yeah. I feel like a lot of it was just busywork and a lot of it was that the in...
  12. clinical locations at Bristol Community College

    I just finished nursing school in Texas this past May, and we had clinical experiences in many different places, up to an hour away from the school. And they don't care if you don't have transportation. A lot of us carpooled.
  13. Yep. That actually happened last spring during my final semester of nursing school. It was really awful. TPA is a fibrinolytic that comes to mind. In this case, it's better to prevent than to treat.
  14. You could say "risk for infection r/t complications secondary to chorioamnionitis" or something along those lines. But yes, a medical diagnosis is never directly your "related to" section. Different diagnosis books may propose it differently. Also,...
  15. Ambulation after arthroplasty is important and well-timed. Lovenox is often given to most of the patients I've seen in the hospital just because they are often in bed a lot, and therefore at risk for blood clotting. Lovenox will hopefully prevent t...
