1. ABG help

   Tiffc88 replied to bree298's topic in General Students

   mixed resp/metabolic acidosis. Also called combined. So basically bad compensation. Anion gap should really be done. As well as other labs to help narrow things down with H&P to help too. SarahRN ABG's on YouTube is helpful and educational!

3. Nursing School Trouble

   Tiffc88 replied to AspiringNurse2019's topic in Student Assist

   This is a doozy! Some questions I have... Why would you attend a nursing program so far away and is there one closer? Have you checked to see if this school is accredited? Were you physically attending this college and had covid sympt...

4. Pearson Vue Trick

   Tiffc88 replied to allnurses's topic in NCLEX

   Did you find out if you passed? I did mine several times and I kept getting the good pop up. I am not sure if the PVT is legitimate but it seems like it is for the good pop up. There are those who have received the bad pop up and still passed.

5. License Pending Status Failed/Rejected

   Tiffc88 replied to DION84's topic in Criminal

   I'm guessing you're in Illinois, as continental seems to only be discussed for Illinois nursing students but I could be wrong. Most states, regulation of nursing is their "NRB" but Illinois it's actually continental testing services that approves eve...

7. Drugged

   Tiffc88 replied to Newt123's topic in Recovery

   Reading this late but in this day and age, weed is more potent. One hit can definitely debilitate you. I see it all the time in the ED. It raises kids HR's and BP and they basically start having panic attacks. I would say to watch your drinks closer ...

8. Advocating for a grade appeal for myself and other students. Do we stand a chance?

   Tiffc88 replied to StudentGamerAthlete's topic in General Students

   I had to do an appeal and won mine but that was a few years ago. I ended up transferring after the DON was asked to resign later that year. I went back and forth on thinking I was wrong and that it would come back to me and the other students that wo...

9. Vaccination for clinical

   Tiffc88 replied to Grad 2020's topic in General Students

   I heard essential oils can protect you. Just bring them to your school and they'll get it. Get with the program and watch Balto!

10. Need advice

    Tiffc88 replied to Futnur's topic in General Students

    Humans make mistakes and just because we are nursing students, it doesn't make us perfect. Tardiness happens, although coming to class drunk and smoking in a hospital is ridiculous, I hope they learned their lessons. I just don't get how someone can ...

11. Microbiology this summer. Am I crazy?

    Tiffc88 replied to NeedASugarDaddyOrSomething's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I took micro, speech, and sociology online during a summer. It was a lot of info but it can be done!

12. Cheating in nursing school

    Tiffc88 replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    Just for clarification "take home quizzes" or homework, and you use a book or the internet isn't cheating. Teachers aren't dumb they know students will look up the answers...it's up to the student to comprehend the material and if by chance they grad...

13. Chances of getting in after getting suspended from College

    Tiffc88 replied to fxyghi's topic in Pre-Nursing

    You probably need to get a criminal attorney now. I hope things work out for you because that's just crazy to me

14. BON and alleged verbal abuse via pt

    Tiffc88 replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Nursing

    Two people should NOT be lifting or moving 400 lbs, whether it be a person or thing. I would watch what you say in ear shot of patients because I'm sure it would offend anyone hearing that even if they know they're heavy. You should've stood your gro...

15. Chances of getting in after getting suspended from College

    Tiffc88 replied to fxyghi's topic in Pre-Nursing

    That's not true. The attorney can talk for you. So you don't further criminalize yourself. If you have all the classes for that BSN it's most likely you have all the classes for an ADN program. You might just have to apply to a different nursing prog...
