1. Problem w/RN's & CT's on clinical day

   Toey replied to Corsair41's topic in Male Students

   I didn't read the entire post, so forgive me if I repeat something. I am a nursing student and I have had my share of the grunt work as some would call it. At first I was very frustrated and felt like I was just being dumped on. This semester I chang...

4. Assessment Sheets?

   Toey posted a topic in General Students

   I just purchased Nursing Care Plans: Guidelines for Individual Client Care Across the Life Span by Doenges, Moorhouse & Murr. Inside there is a nifty adult medical/surgical assessment tool that breaks the body down into Gordon's functional 11 ( w...

5. Care plan software?

   Toey replied to Toey's topic in General Students

   I'l have to check it out. Our school is based on Neuman and Gordon's functional 11. I use the Donenges & Moorhouse dx all the time in the back of my Tabors. Let me know how the software works and I just might grab it before school starts

6. Care plan software?

   Toey posted a topic in General Students

   We got a taste of them in the first semester... the dreaded care plan! and now that second semester is right around the corner, I was wondering if anyone could recommend some good care plan software?

7. Personality question for the guys (and any gals who might have an opinion)

   Toey replied to phoenixfire's topic in Male Students

   I like straight shooters too. Especially when it comes to my instructors. It's been a weird experience for me being a mans man in a female dominated field. I haven't had any disrespect or anything, in fact all the people who have worked with me have...

8. hOW DID YOU DECIDE TO BECOME A NURSE?

   Toey replied to Melbea0607's topic in General Students

   Money did it for me. My wife is an RN and when she found her last job she submitted her resume and got a call for an interview 12 hours later. I have a 2 year old son, but thank God I have plenty of help with babysitting when I need extra time to st...

9. What was most emphasized your first semester?

   Toey replied to wannabenursetx's topic in General Students

   assessments, basic skills, and a lot of fundamental concepts like care, spirituality, family, etc.. Biggest thing to remember would be assessments! I still am horrible at them, but I got better when my clinical instructor made our group do a head to ...

10. No She/he Did Not!!!

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

    No she didn't just run up to me to ask me what telepathy was... I held a straight face, walked my fellow student over to the telemetry monitors, pointed at them and said " So, your patient can read minds?"

11. Question about clinicals

    Toey replied to Shooting4RN's topic in General Students

    We ave a list of participating hospitals and Nursing homes and they separate us out by section. Some people do clinicals on Monday and Tuesday, while the others go to clinicals on Wednesday and Thursday. After we were broken into sections we then we...

12. Basic ADL skills

    Toey replied to greenfaery's topic in General Students

    Im headed into my 6th week of nursing school and we hit the nursing homes next week to do the same thing you are doing. Was the patient able to walk at all and communicate? Im worried about this sort of thing too. I've heard stories from past nursi...

13. Chemistry 2006/ 2007 Club***

    Toey replied to dreamBIG's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I'll go with not so much. A&P is a fundamental for nursing. I would devote as much time as I could to this subject. Chemistry is important, and useful, however for me it required a lot of studying which was a chore for me since I wasn't really in...

14. Howdy all

    Toey replied to Toey's topic in Male Students

    Yeah Im worried about the same things. Im glad I found this forum. I's hard to find out who will be in my class until the orientation since most students take their pre-reqs at diffrent times and with diffrent teachers.

15. What is the funniest thing that you have seen while working?

    Toey replied to 2benurse2008's topic in General Nursing

    haha thats hillarious. Someone I know had a funny story during a psych rotation. She was invited to go into the board room to discuss a patients case who had been admitted. The doctor began reading the patient notes and casually recited out the sent...
