1. Do anyone have advice on what to take to my first clinicals?

   hunydew2262 replied to Brianna07's topic in General Students

   Basically, everything you will bring will need to fit into your pockets. Alcohol wipes and hand sanitizer are on the units. Your stethoscope, penlight, permanent marker for dressing changes, a watch (my first one happened to be digital), bandage scis...

2. Study supplements ...Please answer ASAP

   hunydew2262 replied to jayjo's topic in General Students

   A&P is a knowledge based class. You mostly memorize stuff. I made my own flash cards because I knew I learned more that way. If you don't know what your learning style is, you can google and find online tests to take. That may help more than any ...

3. Advice from other students

   hunydew2262 replied to Kayla C.M.'s topic in General Students

   You are wanting to go into a lesser program, so that you can get a certificate you don't want and have to keep going to school to get the degree you do want because you are tired of going to school. Does that sum up your questions? You need to get on...

4. Parent having surgery soon

   hunydew2262 replied to brokenroads27's topic in General Students

   Why are you afraid to tell you professors? They understand that some things are more important than nursing school. (Blasphemy, I know!) Let us know how everything goes. HD

5. I feel completely lost....

   hunydew2262 replied to Nursingstudent2188's topic in General Students

   WOW, serious deja vu! I cried after every clinical for weeks. You've gotten so much good advice already, I can't think of anything to add, other than it is all SOOOO worth it! Maybe you can find a buddy in your clinical group. I always ask a peer f...

6. Need Help on an instructor who helped me fail Hesi

   hunydew2262 replied to natalieonaje's topic in General Students

   Absolutely. Using the excuse you were "intimidated" in a profession that is going to require you to stand your ground when advocating for a patient isn't going to reflect on you in a positive manner. You cheated and you lost. Game over.

7. most important body system?

   hunydew2262 replied to lovelylady42's topic in Student Assist

   I'm in my final year of a BSN degree. For pharm, study the CNS and ANS, since nearly every med seems to affect one or both of these. As was stated, the hepatic, renal and gastro systems all play a part in the delivery and metabolizing of medications....

8. "Hi!!" and a question about nursing school

   hunydew2262 replied to tara07733's topic in General Students

   Do you have an advisor for the nursing program? Our community college actually has a pre-nursing option and the advisor for the program let us know what we needed to take. We all applied at the same time for admission to the program the following fal...

9. trying to help my fiance

   hunydew2262 replied to MarryingAnRN's topic in Career Support

   One thing I've been told is that nursing degrees are priceless. Just about any field has a niche you can fill with a BSN. One of my instructors worked for an attorney for many years in an advisory capacity. I think insurance companies often employee ...

10. any RN programs in the country with no wait?

    hunydew2262 replied to sullivan2's topic in General Students

    I attend University of Cincinnati. It has the oldest 4-year nursing program in the country. I decided to attend because of no waiting for clinicals.

11. I wish I had studied this before Nursing 101.......

    hunydew2262 replied to twins2005's topic in General Students

    By far the most difficult class I've taken is statistics. I think most BS programs require it, I'm not sure about AS programs. I had the hardest time with fluid balances. Lab values come with experience. Every clinical stresses different lab values. ...

    CO2 is going to point towards respiratory, since that is where the body throws off it's excess carbon dioxide. An imbalance in the bicarb is going to point to metabolic.

14. Is this a Nursing Diagnosis?

    hunydew2262 replied to deemarys's topic in General Students

    I would probably use Activity intolerance related to immobility as evidenced by contractures...and whatever else you are basing your Dx on.

15. they teach us to be advocatees for patients but,,,

    hunydew2262 replied to mRpeNa's topic in General Students

    I was wondering the same thing about the instructor. I had a nurse that sat in the day room for 8 hours, literally. When my cancer patient needed his PCA pump refilled, I didn't bother with the nurse, but went straight to my instructor and told her ...
