  1. We all have our reasons for going to nursing school and I just read a thread about the 'weeding out' process. I wonder if those who quit in Fundamentals are just not as committed. We all know how much time and effort is required and how tough it is. ...
  2. I totally agree, especially about the restructuring. What could possibly cost $4800 a month? And you stay home! Wow, that's alot of cash to put out! I don't mean to offend, I myself am a stay-at-home mom/ full time student. I just can't imagine...any...
  3. Calling all students, need your input

    A stethoscope and BP cuff, I got mine for like $15 at the bookstore. It worked out fine for me. And a pen light and a calculator! All were necessities in Fundamentals!
  4. What's nursing fundamentals like?

    I finished in May also. We learned basic skills, wound dressings, moving patients, vitals, med admin, things like that. We had a lot of group work, All of our lab time was spent working in groups. And then in clinicals we were allowed to help each ot...
  5. What is ur average 2 week take home pay?

    I just wanted to say thanks to those of you who answered. As a student, I am most definately curious about how much I'll be making when I finally have my liscense. If for nothing else, just so that I can see about how long and hard I'll have to work ...
  6. Military Nurses: What do you think of Bush and the war?

    I can see where your question is coming from but, I think you're asking the wrong questions. If you are so against the war that you won't be able to serve overseas b/c you don't believe in it, you shouldn't be joining the military. How are you going ...
  7. potter & perry virtual clinical excursions help

    I just finished the detailed tour. What a pain in the @ss!!! It took me about 2 and a half hours to do a 45 minute tour. This should be optional but, for me, it's not. :angryfire Oh well, I don't have a choice and I am not failing nursing school b/c...
  8. lumbar punctures on infants?

    I have never done this or seen it done, however, when my son was 17 days old. He had a lumbar puncture, and then again 3 days later to confirm whether or not he had herpes, which he did not. But they hit blood vessels when they finally got fluid so, ...
  9. potter & perry virtual clinical excursions help

    We're waiting for our books right now. It's looking like it'll be about one assignment a week. Maybe we can help each other out with this. I'll let you know when I get the book how I feel about it. Suzi
  10. Dealing with Stress

    I feel your pain, every now and then I just need to cry. This week especially and I just couldn't get it out. I have decided from here on out, I have a set study time at night. I have to get everything done between 8:30 and 11:00. Venting is always h...
  11. I am desparate for help to this question

    Check out the website, www.textbookofbacteriology.com It was very helpful when I took micro. Good luck. Suzi
  12. Learned something interesting in Nutrition

    I always thought the setpoint was more of a tool for loosing weight. It kind of lets you know when it's going to get tough. So, I don't think the setpoint thing has anything to do with obesity. If Americans sit on their rear-ends all day and night an...
  13. needing a shoulder

    Well, I have made it 2 and almost 1/2 weeks in my first semester of Nursing school. I suppose I can look at it as only 13 1/2 to go. I am feeling so overwhelmed. I am doing fine, I passed my first test and passed my med calc test on the first try but...
  14. Here's a bit of useless info...In Germany and from what I understand, European countries in general, the doc's scoff when a woman wants privacy to undress. They don't give gowns, just sheets. I never got to experience this but, all my prego friends c...
  15. Well, 2 days down and countless to go! I have to say I have thoroughly enjoyed my first 2 days of class. We're just doing dosage calc's right now, but I still feel like it's my first step forward. :) I am trying to memorize the apothecary system righ...
