3. Two questions...one may be stupid :)

   CalRNtoBe2013 replied to Laura in Canada's topic in ADN/BSN

   I just graduated from a 2 year program in December. Over half of my class, including myself, has either started as a GN or has a position being held for after the NCLEX. I have to respectfully disagree with your statement that a 2 year degree won't g...

4. There's nothing worse than a FAT nurse!

   CalRNtoBe2013 replied to Darkstar1485's topic in General Students

   The fact that there are 167 posts on a derogatory, judgmental, and discriminatory thread is absolutely unbelievable to me.

6. i'm serching for journals

   CalRNtoBe2013 replied to trilia_03's topic in Student Assist

   That explains why it is always so easy to find journal articles r/t nursing! I like it as a resource because the content is credible with references. It's easier than "googling" because you don't have to weed out all the nonsense.

7. Do I have any options?

   CalRNtoBe2013 replied to LCinTraining's topic in General Students

   Forgive me for sounding harsh, but you seem to have an excuse for everything. There are a tremendous amount of resources and I doubt they are all out of the question. People keep making suggestions to try to help and you shoot everything down. Do you...

   CalRNtoBe2013 replied to trilia_03's topic in Student Assist

   Does your school give you access to EbscoHost? I use it as a search engine anytime I need a professional article. It's a little difficult to navigate at first, but once you get the hang of it, reliable articles are easy to find. At my school, it is ...

9. First Week of Nursing School!!!!

   CalRNtoBe2013 replied to shayleejoy's topic in General Students

   You are going to have moments where 'positive' seems impossible. There will be tears & what-ifs. Fight through them. I promise every nursing student has these moments and they will pass. It's the people who can fight through the down times that m...

10. Were you guys allowed the use of a calculator when you took your dosage test?

    CalRNtoBe2013 replied to Wannabe_Doc's topic in General Students

    I work in ICU and the nurses have to calculate almost every titratable drip, usually by mg/kg/hr. They also have to do quick drug calcs when mixing drugs like Neo, levophed, etc during codes. If the drug is ordered, it will come from pharmacy mixed, ...

    CalRNtoBe2013 replied to losilva95's topic in General Students

    My entire class bombed our first test.... Or two. I am currently starting my last semester & am in the top 3 in my class. Don't worry and do NOT give up. Your study habits will come to you. If you have the desire and drive, you will make it. One ...

13. Audio summaries

    CalRNtoBe2013 replied to BBB<3's topic in General Students

    Usually the publisher website has audio reviews. You just have to register your textbooks.

14. Drug screening anxiety

    CalRNtoBe2013 replied to littlebear23's topic in General Students

    Is there a chance that your benzos were beyond a therapeutic level? I take 0.5 mg Ativan for test anxiety on exam days (once every 1.5-2 weeks) and have never even tested positive because its such a minimal amount.

    CalRNtoBe2013 replied to kp1987's topic in General Students

    I agree 100%!!!
