1. nursing quiz help

   JillyT replied to puretexan's topic in General Students

   I think that the order for an IM injection itself should be questioned. IM injections are painful and Demerol is for pain...hmm. So, maybe ask if the doc would like to order PO ir IV instead?

2. Finally!

   I hope I'll be posting a similar message next June. Good luck on the NCLEX. Congrats!!! :caduceus: :mortarboard: :w00t: :smiley_aa :beer:

3. NCLEX fears...

   JillyT replied to HM7380's topic in LPN/LVN

   I took my NCLEX-LPN exam in June. All I studied from was a Saunders CD. I did 100 questions a day for about a week and I did fine. I thought the CD was really helpful. Best of luck!

5. A&P or Microbiology...what to take first???

   JillyT replied to cdietrich404's topic in Pre-Nursing

   A&P 3 is the prerequisite for Micro at my school. I think it helped a little being able to understand physiology a bit before delving into the microscopic world. So...I would take A&P first. :paw:

9. From one nursing student to another... HOW DO YOU STAY HEALTHY?

   JillyT replied to RNinJune2007's topic in General Students

   Just a couple tips....I read my notes while walking on the treadmill, or while listening to recorded lectures. I keep power bars in my school locker and car so that even if I don't have time for a "real meal", I am still not eating crap.

    I had my third colonoscopy last Fall. The first two used the (IMO) horrific, most foul-tasting and explosive diarrhea causing Fleets Phospho-Soda. The first time, the doctor told me to only use water to mix with. After the initial PM dose, I honestly...

14. Anatomy Courses in Nursing

    JillyT replied to Kince's topic in General Students

    I used to have this attitude of questioning too, but the more I'm learning, the more I wish I remembered! I also wish that instructors would give a broad clinical application overview with the nitty gritty details so we can understand the importance ...
