   i_am_evergreen replied to FutureUSRN's topic in California

   I just moved out to Lancaster this year... already got my house robbed! Can't wait to move out of here (as soon as I can afford to). That's the good thing about this area, it's actually affordable!

2. Nursing school not that hard?

   i_am_evergreen replied to ikatiana21's topic in General Students

   That is EXACTLY how i feel. I don't think nursing school was that hard; I think what really makes things crapy are teachers who play favorites, tests that 85% of the class fails 3 semesters in a row (*that's got to say something about the test or the...

   i_am_evergreen replied to FutureUSRN's topic in California

   oh ok, i thought it might take a while. I only know of antelope valley hospital in Lancaster (the one on Ave K). Which is the other one? I tried to look it up, but it only talks about AV hospital. And the new hospital you are refering to in Palmdale....

6. What is the hardest thing about Nursing school?

   i_am_evergreen replied to chicksmom's topic in General Nursing

   I know EXACTLY what your mean. Just had a teacher like that... things didn't turn out so good. Definetly my biggest pet peeve is all the belittling and favoritism that goes on.

7. Study Tips

   i_am_evergreen replied to luv2shopp85's topic in General Students

   I got my book taken apart this semester (4th). It's the best thing I could have ever done. Forget about the inconvenience of caring a 50 lb. book with you. Makes life much easier.

   Well it thought me a lesson. As the assistant dean said, "some people just learn the hard way."

9. Study Tips

   i_am_evergreen replied to luv2shopp85's topic in General Students

   What I usually do is record the lecture. I read the book and make highlights and make notecards. Then I go back and listen to the lecture making any extra notes I need on the study guide. Then I study the notecards and studyguide with my classmate bu...

11. 12 hours clincal anyone?

    i_am_evergreen replied to hospitalstaph's topic in General Students

    My school does both 8 hour and 12 hour shifts. Just depends on who your teacher is. I personally think it's better. I don't even feel how long the day is because I am so busy most of the day.

13. Have you ever made a med error?

    i_am_evergreen replied to RN1263's topic in General Students

    That is great advice. But the thing is that i checked that medication in three different books and 2 mentioned nothing at all about diluting, and 1 stated, "25 mg/ml or less may be given undiluted." The dose was 13.5 mg/ml so I still feel like was no...

    I am (or was) a fourth semester student. I understand how frustrating students can be. I just would appreciate some output about my situation from some teachers (even though anyone can pitch in). I was taking care of a pt. who the night shift nurse d...

15. Have you ever made a med error?

    i_am_evergreen replied to RN1263's topic in General Students

    I was actually just kicked out of the nursing program (4th semester) for answering a question about a medication wrong and deciding not to dilute a dose of phenergan an anti-emetic (following the protocol in the drug book). I totally missed that on ...
