Any feedback, comments or thoughts on the following are welcome. I'm a nursing student expected to graduate as an ADN in August of 2013 from a small, private college in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I...

Can of worms. Let's see... Inmates are people and nurses see patients as just that--people. Nurses don't care about races, sex, age, religion, gender, partner preference, profession, mean, nice,...

How many credits are you taking?

You've done great work thus far, and you will bounce back. Think positive, you're a star! No one can hold you back except yourself. Find out why you flunked, and move forward. This is and isn't...

Read the questions as carefully as time allows. Answer exactly what the question is asking. Underline the words NOT and except for. I know a lot of students end up getting the answer wrong because...

Congrats on passing. IDK about stress... eventually you'll learn what works for you. The best thing you can do is be totally prepared for tests and check offs

Congrats! I'm about a year from graduation myself; it's refreshing to hear your enthusiasm. Thanks. I'm off to study some Med/Surg :) Way to go! Work hard & have fun. :geek:

Health care is not a human right. Imagine (taking from someone else's example) you were born alone on an island... What right do you have to health care. You have the right to care for your health in...

Thanks for clarifying!

I go to a private -for profit school. There are pros and cons. The pros are primarily: small class size; very personalized advisement from admission, academic adviser, and financial aid; no...

This is missing something... like ~passionateSN~ said. Ask your instructor for practice problems.

I agree with the PP. Watch-required. Check that bed is locked-required (Imagine if you were about to help a patient stand and as you did the bed went sliding backwards and they tumbled to the...

I don't know WHY you're failing, as you asked, but here are a few questions to start figuring out some possible reasons... Have you gone over any of the exams in class, after all sections are...

You need to remember to take time for yourself, go out occasionally, or stay up late and watch a movie once in a while. NOT all the time, of course, but once in a while... Stay sane! Plan ahead....

I agree that you need to spend more time in the lab. We were required to document that we practiced each skill so many times in the lab on campus before we got the opportunity to attempt to check...

I'm sorry that these things have affected you and maybe even discouraged you from school. For my fundamentals course, we too had to wear a gown or short shorts (spanky style) & a sports bra for...

I'm not familiar with your terminology of 'returns,' but I believe it is equivalent to what we call 'skills checkoff.' We demonstrate that we are proficient in a skill unaided/without cue. In...

Whooo hoo!! 90% is awesome! Great job! :up:

Lately, I've been double posting. I'm not positive why. I'm not click happy. Does anyone know how to delete a post in a thread?

Good luck Mangofruit! Don't forget to update us. :smug:

Thanks for the input everyone. So far, it seems smart to wait until I get into practice and get the feel for the real world before I make such a decision. I appreciate the replies :)

Just looking for opinions... Would it be wise to take ACLS before/during the semester of nursing school... 1.) to have that knowledge/experience and 2.) to be more marketable to potential...

There are two Goodwills pretty close to wear I live. At one location (smaller) the scrubs are mixed in with sleepwear, which is towards the back on the same rack as dresses. At the other location...

I studied pharm with several different methods. Method 1: Flashcards. On my flashcards I would usually do name(s) of drug on front or a type of drug [i.e. beta blocker]. Then on the front I'd...
