1. What's the difference between the TDap and DTap shots?

   Guerilla04 posted a topic in General Students

   The book I'm using is making this very difficult for me to comprehend. I was wondering if anyone could help me, maybe but it into simpler terms. From my understanding, both shots are similar, though given at different times. The DTap is given first,...

2. Nephrotic Syndrome Question

   Guerilla04 replied to Guerilla04's topic in General Students

   Both of you helped a ton. I cannot begin to thank you enough. My take on RAAS - When blood volume or blood pressure is low, the body releases Renin, which by itself does little to nothing to effect your B/P, but it does convert inactive forms of ang...

3. Nephrotic Syndrome Question

   Guerilla04 posted a topic in General Students

   From my understanding, this is how Nephrotic Syndrome works, and I think I have a grasp on it until the end. I have a worksheet I'm following which is basically a bunch of arrows directing me through the process, and I'm trying to make sense of it. T...

4. An OB question

   Guerilla04 replied to Guerilla04's topic in General Students

   I agree. The question is vague and states "Rationale for first feeding being water". I've been reading the text for the past hour and found nothing of the sort, although I did find information confirming your claim on breastmilk. I'm stumped

   Starting my OB rotation on Wednesday and am trying to finish a bunch of handout's for orientation tomorrow. Can anyone explain to me (briefly of course) the rationale for the first feeding being water? Thanks in advance!

6. Does anyone else find nursing school... easy?

   Guerilla04 replied to Guerilla04's topic in General Students

   Yes, I work part time at the hospital I do my clinicals at doing dietary, basically I just take patients food. I work around 25 hours a week on average, nothing fancy. Usually a 3-8 shift 5 times a week, sometimes more some times less. Trust me, alt...

7. Does anyone else find nursing school... easy?

   Guerilla04 posted a topic in General Students

   Before I get slammed let me point out that by easy I mean easier then expected. Coming into this semester (my first of four) I was scared, anxious and paranoid of managing my time, losing my social life and failure. Halfway through, I have a 92.5 ave...

8. Question about Clinicals

   Guerilla04 replied to Adams_Mama_07's topic in General Students

   I'm currently in a M/T clinical acute setting. The instructor e-Mails us our assignment Sunday mourning. I'm assuming your in an acute setting, because a long care facility, it'd be better to get your assignment on a Friday. Starting this week we sta...

9. $800 worth of textbooks for one class????

   Guerilla04 replied to bananabubbletea's topic in General Students

   Most of these posters are right. I'm currently in my first semester of Nursing school and tallied up around 750$ in books. I was outraged, and talked to some of my friends who have been through the program I'm in and most of the books are used throug...

10. Are RN's poor lecturers in general or is it the program in my school?

    Guerilla04 replied to StittsvilleNurse's topic in General Students

    I agree, RN's are horrible teachers, even BSN's. I'm not saying they're not intelligent about the field, but teaching is a skill in itself. For NUR101, my lecturer (a BSN) basically made slides, about 100, threw them up on a projector, read them word...

11. Abbreviation Help

    Guerilla04 posted a topic in General Students

    I'm doing my first ever prep sheet without having the teacher in front of me to ask questions. I'm not sure how all programs are, but, for mine, we basically get a copy of the chart, and have to research all of there diagnoses and previous medical he...

    Currently in a 2 year program to get my associates degree (a 71 credit course). Now, I'm looking at programs to get my BSN, Penn State for instance, says the course is 120 credits. Is that 120 more credits, on top of the 71? or is it 49 more? I as al...
