You and your family can do it! ADN programs are usually cheaper than BSN, and financial aid can help if you qualify. There are also grants that only nursing schools get to help their students. My college has a on campus day care for students with children. Yes, you will struggle and money will be tight, but it's an investment for your future, and if it's something you really want to do, I have faith you'll reach your goals. Good luck!

I have a printout that I keep with me when I'm at clinical and I find it EXTREMELY helpful. I just go down the list and check off all the stuff I need to do in chronological order. Example: Quick Prep: Admitting Dx, History, Meds... Report: Listen in on report during change of shift. Communicate: Tell your RN what you are in charge of (assessment, shift screening like fall risk, braden), PO Meds or wtv, and FSBG) Begin: Do a mini focused assessment with a set of vitals on both patients and if they have diabetes, get that blood sugar before breakfast. Meds: Do your insulin with your scheduled meds. ADL, Hygiene, Linens: After meds help with peri care, oral hygiene, new linens, wtv Head 2 Toe: Do a full physical on your pts. Chart/Research your pt's medical record: You now have a fresh set of vitals including FSBG, already passed morning Meds, AND done your head 2 toe which tells you a ton about your pts. Now just chart everything you can right then and there and if you miss something get to it later (aka cluster care) when you're in the rooms. 2nd Vitals: second set and blood sugar before lunch and maybe get any other random things out of the way like helping pass out meals or wtv idk Report Off! Hopefully this helps a bit, and even if it doesn't just know no matter how prepared you are it takes time. You're a student and you're learning! You got this!

Hot diggity, Mr. Moreno, my man...things are not looking good... GI: deficient knowledge, imbalanced nutrition CV: Ineffective Tissue Perfusion or Dec. Cardiac Output r/t increased preload or increased afterload from HTN, Obesity, possible atherosclerosis? Possible DMII? MS: activity intolerance Resp: Possible oxygenation or airway due to his obesity (apnea?) are his O2 sats low? I hope some of this helped and gets your care plans going!

If you're going to do cardiac output focus on perfusion, distal pulses, mucous membranes, skin color and temp, organ perfusion (kidneys: urine output, BUN, CR), do you know her ejection fraction? cap refill, idk I'm just throwing things out there. Impaired Gas for sure, but AEB would be low O2 sats (altered LOC ), SOB, maybe crackles or lung sounds, sputum from the PNA, cough, inc. HR Hope this helps!

NCLEX: don't pass the buck, don't do nothing, don't leave the patient, don't say "don't worry", don't assume anything that is not given in the question

3rd semester ADN student also, and we definitely do not delegate anything to anyone. We learn about it in NCLEX style questions and understand the concepts, but in the clinical setting we are there as "student nurses" nothing more, nothing less.

Let it go. You're smart and capable, even if you stumble on your words sometimes. You're nervous because you're in the hospital with real patients! The other student needs to realize they're there to help you, not make you feel incompetent. You got into nursing school! You got this!

I'm a 3rd semester ADN student, and your situation sounds very different from mine. Regardless of location, school, or hospital, you, as a STUDENT, are entitled to an education. That's literally what you are paying for. I'm glad you're acknowledging that your situation is not a good one, and I know it can be scary, but you have to speak up for yourself (of course, in a professional way.) Top 3 things I would do: 1. Look at your 3rd semester clinical expectations/skills sheet and see what you can legally do with your instructor/RN/by yourself. That way you can tell your nurse "hey, I can help you with this!" 2. Talk to your classmates and see if everyone feels this way. Strength in numbers. If everyone is on board, talk to your instructor, or even the director of your program. 3. Make the most out of your clinical experience, even if your teacher or RN ditches you. It might sound weird, but it's an absolute blessing to be in the hospital setting. Do anything except stand around... Good luck!

Hello, Kylie_brand, CNA! I just calculated my score using the new point system and I got 61 pts. Good luck!

Thanks for responding so quickly! A ton of useful information, especially about not having to commute out to Marysville all the time. You definitely made me feel more optimistic about working and going to school at the same time. Thanks again!

Hello, everyone! I applied for Fall 2017, and have been accepted! It seems this is the only Yuba ADN Program thread going, so I wanted to get to know everyone. Here are my stats going off of the multi-criteria screening process sheet on Yuba's website... AS in Nutrition GPA: 3.5 (Side Note: B in both A&Ps, A in Chem, A in MicroBio) Repeat Class: One for MicroBio Underrepresented Group: Male/Hispanic Language Fluency: Spanish TEAS Score: 90.0 % (It was truly a miracle...) I don't know if any of that information is useful to anyone, but there you go. I took all my pre-reqs at SCC, except for the Nurs class offered at Yuba (I think it was Pathophysiology). I've been in school for quite some time now, so it feels amazing to finally get into a program. I have some volunteer hours, but that didn't really help or hurt me for Yuba. As for the TEAS, I agree with subaquatique in that the ATI study book is the best resource. The material covered and the practice tests were much harder than the actual TEAS, in my opinion. I took the TEAS V btw. I know they're already out with the next version. I really appreciate Yuba's selection process because it definitely made it easier with my specific circumstances to get in. I'll be commuting to school from Woodland, which isn't too bad (like 50 minutes?). One question I have for subaquatique is once in the program, specifically the first semester, how feasible is it to have a part-time job while going to school? Obviously this depends on what the part-time job is, and my overall intelligence I guess, but I'm planning on working over the weekends, so probably Friday, Saturday, and Sunday for about 7 hours a day. What are your thoughts on that? If anyone has any comments or questions, I'm more than happy to respond as thoroughly as possible. Once again, I'm ecstatic to have the opportunity to start nursing school, and to get acquainted with my future classmates! Take care everyone!
