4. IV catheter reset

   kalmeira replied to dhammond3's topic in General Students

   The ones we practiced with were supposedly unretractable, but if you took a unfolded paper clip and put it into the little pinhole at the bottom you can return it to normal. It took practice to get it just right.

   Once you get into a rhythm it will calm down. 1st semester is always hard because you are new to the whole nursing school thing. Soon you will learn to organize you time, and will get a feel for what to focus on, and what is not as essential. Like wa...

   Probablly! Today was the first day the ATT would let us take it, and this was the only day open for the rest of the month. I couldn't go the the place by my house as it was booked, had to drive to hurst. Couldn't take it at the beginning of Sept d/t ...

   kalmeira posted a topic in NCLEX

   It's only been a couple of hours and already the wait is killing me! How am I supposed to wait 2 days?!?! Boy that nclex was a doosie! AT LEAST 50-60% of my 75 questions were SATA. At least! Maybe more. Tons of infection control, lots of prioritizing...

   So, hows everyone doing? Have classes started for you guys? I just took my NCLEX a couple of hours ago. The next 2 days are sure to be agonizing, I hope the results come in sooner, (now!). That nclex sure is a tough one!

11. My hands shake!

    kalmeira replied to Ang_RN's topic in General Students

    My hands always shake, not just when I'm nervous. It hasn't been too much of a problem. I have been able to start IVs and everything fine, once I got the hang of it. It is a bit annoying when patients notice and ask why I'm shaking, but I just expla...

    The OB, peds, and psych classes are only 4-5 weeks each, so it shouldn't overlap for you, and it won't be bad at all. We are taking OB and peds now in 4th semester and we took psych in 2nd. Actually we finish OB this week and peds start next week, so...

    Yeah, I never had Mrs Routh for clinicals, but for End of Life and Fundamentals she was great, and I love her, but she was hard on her groups for our class too, and some people would get upset. She asks alot of questions because she wants you to kn...

    I know, I can't believe it's almost over, time flies fast! :) Wow, that sounds like it will be intense for lecture in half a summer semester, as that is alot of material, but you will do fine. That's how our 1st semester was.
