    NCLEX Style Question

    C0SM0 posted a topic in General Students

    To start off, this is NOT a homework assignment. I'm studying for an upcoming exam and our instructor gave us a study guide that included this question. There's some debate between my classmates and...

    Dosage question

    C0SM0 replied to MsLori615's topic in General Students

    Nice job. Like someone else stated, there are going to be plenty of dosage calc questions you see with a lot of unnecessary information. You just need to make sure you know what the question is...

    First skill evaluation - Hand washing and donning/removal PPE

    C0SM0 replied to Elven_RN's topic in General Students

    The Foley was probably the most difficult in my opinion because you're testing twice for one skill (male & female) so it makes things a little more difficult. I got lucky when I put in my first...

    First skill evaluation - Hand washing and donning/removal PPE

    C0SM0 replied to Elven_RN's topic in General Students

    While I really don't have any useful tips I will say this: I'm in my 4th and final semester as a nursing student and I thought the skills lab checkoffs in first semester (Foley, sterile dressing...

    Video RN screaming, dragged into police car d/t refused blood draw on unconscious patient!

    C0SM0 replied to SummitRN's topic in General Nursing

    Wait until you lose an immediate family member who was an LEO to on-the-job gun violence before you tell me I'm overreacting. The statement was an extremely insensitive thing to say about the people...

    Video RN screaming, dragged into police car d/t refused blood draw on unconscious patient!

    C0SM0 replied to SummitRN's topic in General Nursing

    Congratulations, you get the award for the most ignorant comment of the day. Yes, the cop involved in this scenario has very poor judgement, but lumping all cops together and saying "law enforcement...

    Currently ABSN, should I drop out for ADN?

    C0SM0 replied to TheCommuterx's topic in General Students

    You may be able to start earning a decent living wage quicker, but there are additional costs to consider as well. Will you be paying additional money for rent living so far away? Depending on how...

    Currently ABSN, should I drop out for ADN?

    C0SM0 replied to TheCommuterx's topic in General Students

    I'm not familiar with ABSN costs, but $30k more than the cheapest BSN program would probably be enough for me not to even consider attending an ABSN program. I'm going to a pretty cheap community...

    How do you deal with the conflict in nursing school?

    C0SM0 replied to mzsuccess's topic in General Students

    Your story reminds me of a classmate I had. She was rude, unpleasant, and went out of her way to be a complete B. Luckily, the administration at my school didn't put up with it and she got kicked...

    Video RN screaming, dragged into police car d/t refused blood draw on unconscious patient!

    C0SM0 replied to SummitRN's topic in General Nursing

    This guy has already been fired from his second job as a paramedic. The fact that this guy had a job in health care and still acted the way he did is downright scary. My sympathy goes out to the...

    Video RN screaming, dragged into police car d/t refused blood draw on unconscious patient!

    C0SM0 replied to SummitRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not trying to start an argument here, I'm just genuinely curious as to what you think the security guard could have (or should have) done differently? I worked in the security industry for...

    Help with critical care studying (Dysrhythmias, ECG reading, Meds)

    C0SM0 posted a topic in General Students

    I'm in my 4th (and final) semester of nursing school and we hit the ground running by starting with dysrhythmias, reading ECG's, and meds used for those dysrhythmias. Does anyone have an easy way to...

    C0SM0 replied to shak95's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I hate to break it to you, but A&P has been the same since the beginning of mankind. And a word of advice, if you're going to be relying on strangers from the internet to give you notes, you...

    I Need Your TEAS Advice!

    C0SM0 replied to ERNurseErica's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I literally did zero studying for the TEAS. But, my school didn't put much emphasis on it so that's why I pretty much blew it

    When to Start Applying for Jobs?

    C0SM0 replied to hishandmaiden's topic in General Students

    Keep an eye out for "graduate nurse" positions on Indeed. I graduate in December as well and many of the hospitals in my area will be posting jobs for December graduates in the next 2-3

    I want a secure future - $22K for LPN school?

    C0SM0 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    I completely agree, $22,000 is WAY too much for an LPN program. I'm entering my 4th, and final, semester of an RN program at a community college and my final semester tuition is exactly $1,319.20....

    Math calculations

    C0SM0 replied to Kimmie70's topic in General Students

    Oh man, you guys have it EASY. We also had three tries, but we had to score 100% on the drug calc test to pass. Like someone else said, the test is probably specific to your school. I assume you...

    I failed my adult health test can I appeal

    C0SM0 replied to 2bnurse 1983's topic in General Students

    No one on this board will be able to tell you rather or not you can appeal. You need to talk to the administrators at your school to find the answers you're looking

    Female Foley and Witness

    Just curious, but why is it only "strongly encouraged" if it is a male nurse/female patient

    Medical Terminology is too overwhelming?

    C0SM0 replied to OsceanSN2018's topic in General Students

    I wouldn't stress too much about medical terminology. If you're going to stress about something, I'd make sure you have A&P down first. My school doesn't even require medical terminology for...
