  1. F's from several years ago, I have a 3.8 now.

    oops I bradyed again replied to Coca_Evagria's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This is definitely something important to think about and plan for. I still have a year left in my program and my cohort has already experienced the death of friends, family, and pets, some near...

  2. F's from several years ago, I have a 3.8 now.

    oops I bradyed again replied to Coca_Evagria's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I really think you should focus your energy on moving forward and applying to schools, rather than becoming discouraged about your past grades. If I were you I would NOT pay out of pocket to wipe your...

  3. EKGs - counting whole vs half boxes

    oops I bradyed again replied to mmaribethh's topic in General Nursing

    I've never heard of counting "half boxes," but have always counted the small or large boxes depending on what I'm interpreting. Here's a helpful tool:...

  4. Hello Micro!

    oops I bradyed again replied to Dreamer05's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took a biology class with different instructors for lab and lecture and the material was cohesive between the two. My lab instructor was a much better teacher than my lecture instructor, which...

  5. Any CNA's out there?

    oops I bradyed again replied to Jtingle44's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I switched to a flex position when I started the nursing program, so I choose my own hours and am able to easily work around my school schedule. Flex positions in the hospital are difficult to come...

  6. Persantine and warfarin

    oops I bradyed again replied to bari_ttc's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Persantine is not a "blood thinner." It's an antiplatelet drug that is sometimes, not always, used in conjunction with warfarin to prevent blood clots. Warfarin and Persantine have different...

  7. New Student, Frustrated CNA

    oops I bradyed again replied to OneOnOnes's topic in General Students

    Yes, you will still feel this way as a nurse if you think you're going to plan all your tasks for the day and expect them to happen as scheduled without interruption. You will not be doing your own...

  8. Pre reqs

    oops I bradyed again replied to JillybeansRN2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Nursing school will not "reteach" you A&P. You're expected to understand that material before starting the program so you have a foundation to build on. With that being said, you can still be...

  9. Any CNA's out there?

    oops I bradyed again replied to Jtingle44's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I started out as a CNA before nursing school and it has been an invaluable experience. You will learn so much and it will help you get your foot in the door when you're looking for jobs later as an...

  12. Care with DVT

    oops I bradyed again replied to AnnShirley's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Raising the lower extremities helps reduce pressure in the veins, increases blood return to the heart, and prevents more blood from pooling in the calves. The patient is likely receiving other...

  13. Bathing Trouble

    oops I bradyed again replied to FutureCota's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Don't feel stupid! It takes practice to get good at giving showers and baths without soaking yourself in the process. After a while you will get a routine down, but even then you may have to tweak it...

  14. Did you read all of the assigned readings in nursing school ?

    oops I bradyed again replied to OsceanSN2018's topic in General Students

    I do most of the readings and take notes, just because that's how I learn best. Doing the readings for patho, pharm, and acute were fairly easy for me just because I'm genuinely fascinated by those...

  15. Awful Preceptor

    oops I bradyed again replied to RN Grad 17''s topic in General Students

    If you perceive constructive criticism, suggestions, and wishing you good luck as a "negative tone" this may not be the last time you struggle with interpersonal relationships in the workplace. Not...

  16. Awful Preceptor

    oops I bradyed again replied to RN Grad 17''s topic in General Students

  18. Awful Preceptor

    oops I bradyed again replied to RN Grad 17''s topic in General Students

    Have you been taking vitals or offering to check the vital signs the preceptor forgot? Even though you are new to the unit there are plenty of things you can take initiative on to help lighten your...

  20. Hep A vaccine required

    oops I bradyed again replied to ladyapj's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would call the school you're applying to and see if you can continue with the application process if you've at least started your Hep A vaccine. In my program, we were allowed to continue in the...

  21. Planners for nursing school

    oops I bradyed again replied to AZ.twinmom17's topic in General Students

    I love my ban.do planner!

  22. Anxious

    oops I bradyed again replied to lorias's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think almost every nursing student feels this way before starting the program! It's healthy to have some level of doubt and anxiety. This means you care about being a safe nurse and making sound...

  23. Nursing to Med School

    oops I bradyed again posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm currently finishing up my 2nd year of a BSN program and am beginning to question if nursing is truly the right profession for me. There are many aspects of nursing that I love and I think I would...
