I just wanted to get a thread started for all of the BHC/MVC students; please help me get a support system going here. I am starting at BHC in Jan. 07 and would love to make contact with the other new students. It would also be great if the current students would join in too, maybe share some advise;) /horror stories.:uhoh21: I'm sure that you current students have a lot to say.
El Centro/Northlake has a couple of really good threads going, but it would sure be great to talk with those I will be going to school with too.
That is so funny that she remembers that. Was it about the evils of trans fat?!!!! She always thought it was so funny when I would get on my pedistal and preach about that stuff. Ahh memories. I am so sad to see that she won't be available for my preceptorship fourth semester :uhoh21:. To answer your other question, Mrs. Adair only teaches OB. Pedi will be taught by Mrs. Wilson. Lecture is once a week for 8 hours! Yuck! Thankfully, it is only four lectures, but still it is a long time! Ttyl!

Yes it was about the evils of trans fat. Hi every one hope that we are all having fun studying for the test. I just hope that I do better than the last test.
Only two more test to go and one skill left to do and not enough time. LOL. And then we are off to a new step to make us feel like we are on our way to becoming a RN. Only a little more than a week and we will be in the Hospital.
Hey Kaley, sorry I didnt see your message welcoming me. THANKS I love this website. This is too cool to be getting to chat with everybody from home and find out who is teaching what and so forth. Hey Josh, I love Mrs. Routh too. She is great. I really like her teaching style and Kaley, we havent really chatted much since class started but I just wanted to tell you that I think you are really smart. I know you dont say too much in class but when you do....I am always like OMG is that girl bright!! Just thought you might like to hear that. ok guys, I just got home a little while ago from finishing my test 4 and I am BEAT! Im going nite nite.
Congrats everyone on almost being done with Foundations! Keep up you momentum and you will do great. I am so excited for you guys to get to go to clinical. It is soooooo much fun. Of course, there is the matter of those all consuming care plans.... I don't mean to scare you guys but get ready to put some time in on those! Thankfully you only have to do them for about a year and then no mas!
You are exactly right Toni! I will never forget how nervous I was giving meds for the first time. Now, it's second nature to me! So when do you guys start clinicals?
Specializes in No nursing yet, but assist. to CRNA.
hey josh,
we have orientation on monday and start clinicals on tuesday. we pick pts on mondays and then be on the floor t-r for the next three weeks.
here is what is scaring me now! this thursday we will pick a pt to do our major care plan on, which will be due the following thursday; i am totally wigged out. how much direction did you have on it? did you have longer than a week? was it as hard as i think it will be? the thing is, we haven't really been doing care plans yet since we are doing our semester so differently. we have done a few (maybe three) samples but with help; and now our very first week we will be doing this major plan. maybe i am more prepared than i actually recognize at this time and it won't be such a shock to me after all.
it would sure be nice if i could just relax a little more. i'm not totally frazzled, just a little on edge.
what are ya'll doing with your semester right now? still stressful?
Wow! you guys will sure be busy! As far as the major care plan, don't even sweat it. It is about 75 percent health history and assesment data (which takes like 20 minutes). The time consuming part is putting the whole thing together. It probably took be about 48 hours total to put the first one together. All in all it ended up being around 40 pages. I did four care plans and three patho statements. The only difference between them and the ones that I did at the hospital were the references (You have to use APA). I got a 97 on my first one and it was well deserved! Also, Ms Routh is big on presentation. I went to Kinkos and had mine bound in a spiral cover. It ended up looking pretty good! Don't stress over it though, they are not nearly as tough on it as you think they are. Just put some effort into it and don't wait until the last minute! Congrats on your med pass checkoff btw
just was taking a break.:smiletea2:
