   Hello everyone! Nursing student in need of help here, I'm studying congenital heart defects for a pediatrics exam that I have on Monday and as I am reading the chapter I came across a couple of things that I don't understand and I'm hoping someone ...

5. New graduates with no clinical skills.

   maracuya replied to maracuya's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Yes, exactly! I shouldn't need to, the school should provide opportunities for skills practice.

6. New graduates with no clinical skills.

   maracuya replied to maracuya's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I'm sorry but I also disagree with this. A CNA does a lot of things, but CNA's are not licensed to perform a lot of the skills that an RN would do, such as setting up an IV or a foley cath, just to mention a couple. I do not believe that not having...

   Now that I am on my second semester I understand what the problem is... my school has no open lab to practice skills. I wonder if this is a problem everywhere or only in my school.

   maracuya replied to maracuya's topic in General Students

   Ha ha yes they do... but not pleasant to be in a public place when you have sort of ibs.

    maracuya replied to maracuya's topic in General Students

    Yeah, when it comes to sitting down to read and study I'm afraid you may be right, not sure what to do.

11. Pre-test anxiety or just disorganized?

    maracuya replied to maracuya's topic in General Students

    I know, we didn't have whole days to study last semester either. I guess that's a good thing. I've thought about going to the library but at school there's too much people and noise, and at the public library I guess I'm just concerned of what I'll...

    Hi! I'm on my second semester of nursing school which is divided into 2 eight week sessions. This session I'm taking mental health and next session I have med-surg. Just had my first clinical at a mental health hospital this week and it was both i...

13. Does Nursing School=No Life Literally?

    maracuya replied to Marsha238612's topic in General Students

    I hope you're right and I do hope I get the hang of this soon. I did get 90+ on my first two exams, but it was rush rush rush, seems they just want us to learn enough to pass the NCLEX and the exams, and then figure it out when we start working, whi...

14. Does Nursing School=No Life Literally?

    maracuya replied to Marsha238612's topic in General Students

    Well, you all must be something else, because I'm on my fourth week of a 2 year ADN program and I've never been through anything like this before. The amount of reading and homework is ridiculous! the stress for skills is horrible when they haven't...
