  1. Feeling Anxiety Right Now

  2. Nursing School Probs

    AnLe replied to nurseboy12396's topic in General Students

    Just breathe and relax. Write down the meds of the patient at the start of clinicals, perform your head to toes before them (optimally), and have the vital signs available. Before you leave, go over...

  3. Bad clinical day

    AnLe replied to dragonhawk's topic in General Students

    AnLe replied to jcm2696's topic in General Students

    I am confused about this. What did the order state to give? Was it to give 3 5mg amlodipine tabs? Because if so, then you made an error. There has to be an order for giving 1 10mg and 1 5mg amlodipine...

    AnLe replied to SN2432's topic in General Students

    The director of our DPN program is one of the people we need to see for readmission. I had notified her that I had only missed passing the class by 0.12 for medsurg. She stated that if she passed me,...

  7. Tips/tricks voiding trial

    AnLe replied to neogirl's topic in General Nursing

    If your patient is able to stand/walk around, can walk with them in the hall. I did this with a patient who was nearing the end of her post-op voiding time before a catheter would be used. She tried...

  8. Depressed with only one semester left

    AnLe replied to Kinda Flustered's topic in General Students

    What you stated doesn't make you crazy, but it does show that a leave of absence is for the best. Right now, taking care of your mental health is a priority as well as maintaining a healthy diet and...

  9. I don't know if I should stay in nursing school

    AnLe replied to kateandtippi's topic in General Students

    I learned to do this late in my nursing program. I felt like I had reached nirvana when I understood why something was happening to the body and could identify what would happen next. They had us do a...

  12. Ethical Dilemma

    AnLe replied to lilfayfay's topic in General Students

    I agree, just take this holiday to relax and try to destress. Catch up on sleep or hang out with family. Have a clear mind and reevaluate all that has happened. Check to see what the school policy is...

  13. lateral violence in nursing school

    AnLe replied to SugarPlumIce87's topic in General Students

    I'm sorry this has happened to you. In my cohort of around 80 people, I don't think there was any bullying. Everyone was very helpful if you had a question. Even in clinicals during the first...

  14. Worried mom of nursing student

    AnLe replied to mom2mom's topic in General Students

    You can pass your classes, in my school, with a 76. Sometimes a break, be it for lunch, helps. A nice calm moment where you can focus on one thing and breathe. My sister would take me out to eat once...

    AnLe replied to sl0352's topic in General Students
