1. TEAS Test

   liladybug526 replied to Kdicker25's topic in General Students

   I was worried about the science portion of the teas test too before I took it. I am a visual learner so reading the ATI book didn't really help me all that much. I decided to rent educational videos that would give me the basics in a way that I could...

2. first clinicals this week..HELP

   liladybug526 replied to sophie<3's topic in General Students

   I remember feeling the same way you did when I first started clinicals. Your clinical instructor will probably let you know during your orientation what she expects of you and what you will be required to do. Personally, when I didn't have anything t...

4. Not quite ready

   liladybug526 posted a topic in General Students

   I am getting ready to start my last semester of the nursing program so I will be graduating in April 2010. I am just curious, does everyone feel ready to graduate and begin practicing as an RN? I honestly don't. I have done well in all my classes and...

5. Don't know if I am cut out for Nursing???

   liladybug526 replied to MrsMeg's topic in General Students

   Medical lingo is like another language in a way. Of course you do not understand the things that are being said if you have never learned any of it. You wouldn't go on a website that is all in spanish and expect to understand what was being said unle...

   liladybug526 replied to Goingthere's topic in General Students

   My med-surg clinical was one day a week. It was an 8 hour shift but we were hardly ever there the full 8 hours.

7. clinicals, why are the nurses such *******.

   liladybug526 replied to lesliedabbs's topic in General Students

   I think this thread was started so that nursing students could unload some of the stress that they feel when they get home after their clinicals. We try so hard to do well in school, to keep an open mind, to ask questions when we have doubts, and we ...

   liladybug526 replied to ljb2584's topic in General Nursing

   I am so sorry to hear that you are going through this! I can totally relate because I suffer from anxiety and panic attacks too. The best advice I can give you is to schedule an appointment with your doctor. There are many prescription medications th...

9. chem q's..help how to do

   liladybug526 replied to future nicu nurse's topic in Student Assist

   49. First you have to figure out the mg needed. You need to take the mg x childs weight. 3.5mg x 12kg= 42mg per dose. If you are giving it every 6 hours during a 24 hour period that would be 4 doses. So you take 42 mg x 4 = 168mg 50. a. There is a f...

10. TEAS EXAM: I failed...Anyone take it with some advice?

    liladybug526 replied to karenroxx's topic in TEAS

    I am sorry to hear that you didn't pass. The teas test is hard to study for because you don't know what to expect. At least now you have a heads up on what to focus your studies on. When I was studying for the teas test I was most concerned about the...

11. What Would You Do?

    liladybug526 replied to MrsIndependent's topic in General Students

    Well that's a tough one. It would be nice to not have to work while attending nursing school. School is tough and a lot of people in my class have now cut down their hours at work or quit their jobs all together because it became too much for them. I...

12. SO ANGRY...help!!!

    liladybug526 replied to ac123's topic in Job Hunt

    It is illegal for a former employer to say anything negative about you if they are not listed as a reference. Former employers are sometimes called to verify employment. They can only say that yes you worked there and from what date to what date. How...

15. Dealing with life changes in nursing school...Vent!

    liladybug526 replied to Mommyto2and2's topic in General Students

    Oh wow, you are in a difficult situation. The fact that you opened your home to your SIL and her son shows that you are a loving and caring person. While these are great qualities to possess they can also make it difficult to stand up for yourself wh...
