   chnc1024 replied to happilymarried's topic in General Students

   I'd rather relive all three of my labors back to back with no pain medication than do another care plan..... I don't get summer off either, but still. I'm on my 5th care plan and I'm only in my first semester..... Have a Great Day! Chancie

2. No She/he Did Not!!!

   chnc1024 replied to Maggie in NC's topic in General Students

   No he did not... Tell his pt with a foley to hang his bag on his IV pole at waist level!!! This was yesterday, my clinical group was waiting to go to lunch, and I saw the pt walking past and to his room. I went and told him why that wasn't a good id...

3. I just DO NOT understand care plans!!!!

   chnc1024 posted a topic in General Students

   I have an "A" average, and have been told by several instructors that I will be an wonderful nurse, so why is it that I can't do a care plan? I KNOW what my pts need, how to do it... everything that a care plan is "suppose" to be about, so why do I ...

   chnc1024 replied to marktheawesome's topic in General Students

   I recently did my drug cards, and I came up with a great system for them. I went to walmart and bought a small 2 ring binder. It came with 100 lined index cards. I also bought a pack of unlined cards the same size. I formated my word document to 3x5...

   chnc1024 replied to chnc1024's topic in General Students

   I agree with your take on the care plan. The pt. is an imaginary case study our instructor gave us to give us a feel on how to do care plans. My instructor gave us the intervention of "increase dietary fiber" and I didn't get why since like I said ...

10. " Evening students do better on exams then day students" ?

    chnc1024 replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    I was actually told this in all of my evening classes, I'm taking day nursing classes, but all my pre-reqs were pretty much evening. I was told it's usually because day student's ususally are younger, and most people don't want to spent their evenin...

13. Anyone see a need for a laptop in NS?

    chnc1024 replied to tfleuter's topic in General Students

    I also downloaded my books to my laptop, and it's awsome (also elsevier/evolve) because all I have to take to class is my laptop and a note book. My books are set up so that you can search across all the chapters, and books if you like at the same t...

14. My friend is interested in nursing as an easy back-up plan.

    chnc1024 replied to scientist's topic in General Nursing

    You could always refer her to this site and tell her to check out the students section! That alone should give her a clear picture of what she'll be dealing with. And that way you can know she knows what she's getting into, and you don't have to fe...
