   busybeaver replied to jonnygirl27's topic in General Students

   Natty, It's over, it's over. Whew what a relief. I also had my 6th exam today. It's nice to have these hurdles behind me. Last hurdle is the final on Monday, then semester 3 here I come! Hope you did well!

2. Clinical Simulations?

   busybeaver replied to jonnygirl27's topic in General Students

   Yes, we have the same thing. The scenario may include anything that we "check off" on in skills lab during the semester. I found it helpful to take advantage of open skills lab time to practice all of the skills that I have learned. I have my "fin...

   busybeaver replied to razorbackgirl's topic in General Students

   Also, encourage incentive spirometer, monitor I&O and VS, try to keep HOB at 30-45 degrees if tolerated. If you're giving meds know the BP prior to administration, you instructor with most likely ask. Good luck with your first assignment.

6. Do you have a student nurses association...

   busybeaver replied to jenrninmi's topic in General Students

   RNKittykat, I feel you. I still haven't received the promised newsletters or magazines. The way they pass around that money jar you would think you were at church. What really bothers me is that the school pays to send a select few to various con...

   busybeaver replied to IowaCindy's topic in General Students

   My last clinical was yesterday. All have left is 1 lecture and the final next week. The semester just flew right by. The rumor at my school is that next semester (2nd) is the hardest one. If you make it passed that you'll probably make it all the ...

9. Any funny descriptions

   busybeaver replied to Teresa76's topic in General Students

   While learning how to d/c catheters and NG tubes or clinical intructor told us to "grip it and rip it" While practicing placing catheters in skills lab, one of the girls from our group said wouldn't it be funny if Julie Childs made a catheter inser...

10. Others like my notes

    busybeaver replied to iliket3's topic in General Students

    I'm having a hard time understanding why this is so upsetting. At my school they really emphasize teamwork and helping each other out. Your hard work is helping alot of people, and isn't that what nursing is all about!

11. What was your physical like???

    busybeaver replied to LindseyLou2222's topic in General Students

    When I had mine done last July all they did was listen to my heart and feel my neck. It's funny I'm just completing my first semester and the physical assessments that I do are Way more involved and indepth.

12. How is school effecting your relationship?

    busybeaver replied to busybeaver's topic in General Students

    Thank you everyone for all of the great advice. Since we can't spend anymore time together (I really don't think that's the issue anyway), we're going to try to make the time we have together more special. I really think that a hobby is a great ide...

13. How is school effecting your relationship?

    busybeaver posted a topic in General Students

    About every two weeks my boyfriend comes to me with the "we need to talk". Basically the talk boils down to that he's not getting the amount of attention he needs. I try to explain that school won't last forever and it won't always be this way, but...

14. Changing nclex format?????

    busybeaver replied to Just Angi's topic in General Nursing

    I have also been told the same thing. I heard that some of the questions will be fill in the blank (mostly drug dosages), but there will still be some multiple choice.

15. What's your school's policy for registering for nursing courses?

    busybeaver replied to wonderbee's topic in General Students

    RNkittyKat I'm at West Boca right now (1st semester). The clinical instructor there is WONDEFUL!! I feel so lucky to have had her first semester. She is very laid back, but can be serious when she needs to be. She has definately earned my respect...
