   December 2014 graduate! Can't wait :)

2. Rough clinical day

   2bEQNurse14 replied to 2bEQNurse14's topic in General Students

   Thanks for all of the advice! I'll definitely take it. Meds are up to 4hrs late at times due to either- her still reviewing the pts info to make sure we have not missed anything, not being able to find her, her being busy with something else, along w...

3. Rough clinical day

   2bEQNurse14 posted a topic in General Students

   Yesterday easily had to be the roughest clinical day I have had since starting nursing school. I won't go into too much detail as the internet is very public, but here is an example of a couple of things that happened- Unhappy with me not using her s...

4. Question about stna?

   2bEQNurse14 replied to kmwilliams09's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Something to add too is even if you think you can do everything the correct way you do at work , it more than likely isn't going to be the correct way for the STNA test. Text book vs. real life

5. Question about stna?

   2bEQNurse14 replied to kmwilliams09's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I know it isn't what you want to hear, but I would take the classes. There are SO many specifics that they are looking at when testing and they can choose any 4 (it may be 5, I can't remember) out of 20ish skills. They ask you on the spot and you hav...

6. Should I retake Anatomy?

   2bEQNurse14 replied to MFarina87's topic in General Students

   Honestly? Nobody could pay me enough to go through that hell again, lol. Review some lightly. Often times nursing books have a pg or 2 in the beginning of each chapter on A&P. Nursing is also more critical thinking than memorizing.

7. Well, I passed my first semester of nursing school

   2bEQNurse14 replied to kmr92's topic in General Students

   I would be very happy with what you accomplished. And those are 'B's, nothing to be ashamed of. 10yrs down the road you are going to be an RN and you aren't going to be thinking of 'the A that got away'. Be happy, move on, work harder next semester, ...

8. C's on all my Anatomy and Physiology classes.

   2bEQNurse14 replied to blu_02's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Honestly, I would talk with your school. I got in with a 3.0GPA. And I know I'm prob going to get bashed for this, but there is so much in A&P that you aren't going to use. As a nurse on the floor, you aren't going to be looking at slides and dec...

9. best book for learning med dosage calculations?

   2bEQNurse14 replied to meghan91's topic in General Students

   I love the website mentioned above! Does your school use ATI? Their dosage calc tutorials are really helpful.

10. Should I get CNA job during nursing school?

    2bEQNurse14 replied to asiacl's topic in General Students

    That's honestly something only you can decide. Both getting the job and what amount of work to take on :) It's fairly easy to get a position in long term care, hospitals are harder to get into. While it can be good experience and there is nothing wro...

11. Splinting Post-Op

    2bEQNurse14 posted a topic in Student Assist

    Hi everyone! I am currently working through my study guide for my second fundamentals of nursing exam this semester. Part of the information we are being tested on is an introduction to caring for a surgical pt. In my study guide it simply says to re...

12. Can they force me to work weekends during jury duty???

    2bEQNurse14 replied to luv2dive's topic in General Nursing

    Since weekends are not part of the trial, and if your availability with the hospital includes weekends, then I don't see there being much you can do. You would be able to consult a lawyer if they were demanding that you work a Tuesday, but not a Satu...

13. ATI critical thinking exam ..

    2bEQNurse14 replied to rksghtk's topic in Pre-Nursing

    It's on completely random stuff, think one of those online job application 'tests'. Don't sweat it.

14. First Semester is done!

    2bEQNurse14 posted a topic in General Students

    I can happily say I finished my first semester of nursing school! 'C' in A&P1(that's a long and horrifying story), 'B' in Small Group Communications, 'A' in Introduction to Professional Nursing, and 'A' in Pharmacology. Needless to say I'm very h...
