  1. Looking for any RN programs that take less than 2 years to complete (16,18,20-month etc)

    student_B replied to heartheart09's topic in General Students

    I would caution against a less than 2 year program. I am in the second year of an ADN program and the workload is very challenging. If you are able to devote 100% of your time to nursing school, a...

  2. 7 Ways to Sabotage Your Own Success in Nursing School

    student_B replied to J.Adderton's topic in General Nursing

    Don't Overstudy I found that increasing my study times beyond a certain point resulted in increased mental fatigue and confusion. The more I studied beyond that point the worse I did on exams. So...

  3. Dispute test question??

    student_B replied to cin808's topic in General Students

    I learned this from reading posts on AN while I was in pre-nursing, and it holds true in my year and a half of experience. I think a big part of it is that these questions are not like math problems...

  4. Discouraged in Clinical

    student_B replied to AlmostThere19's topic in General Students

    Take it upon yourself to find learning opportunities; they may not be obvious, but there are plenty in any hospital setting. If I find myself not immediately busy in clinical, I will ask if any other...

  7. Recording device for lectures

    student_B replied to megster871's topic in General Students

    My nursing school has a blanket policy of no recording of any nursing classes including labs. The rationale given was that students and professors are encouraged to share personal experiences...

    student_B replied to Brenda F. Johnson's topic in General Nursing

    Interesting topic & article, are your sources for this information available? The inflorescence ("flowers" or "buds") are the drug-containing portion of the cannabis sativa plant, while the...

  9. Help with ABG

    student_B replied to trev343's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    the ↑PaCO2 is the respiratory compensation for the metabolic alkalosis; the ↑PaO2 is a bit puzzling though. Perhaps something like continuous vomiting from an obstruction of the small...

  10. Patient Diagnosis help

    student_B replied to kristen5500's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    You should be able to find plenty of nursing diagnoses on this patient, think ABCs! Look through a NANDA or nursing diagnosis handbook and prioritize the most life-threatening/emergent bodily...

  11. Dosage calc for ATI testing

    student_B replied to Ellie.D's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    This caused me some mistakes early in nursing school for the same reason. I learned that ATI wants certain numbers rounded in each step in the calculation while other figures can be left as is. I...

  12. What do you eat for breakfast?

    student_B replied to Ioreth's topic in General Students

    My staple has been Sweet Earth frozen burritos, and frequently a falafel (trader joes frozen)-hummus-arugula-tabasco wrap. The frozen burritos are great for when I'm running late (frequently) and...

  13. CDC now banned from using "evidence based" and other words per White House

    student_B replied to babyNP.'s topic in Nursing News

    Foremostly, I continue to be very alarmed at the anti-science paradigm that's become pandemic within our government. However, from what I've gathered this is a reaction by the CDC to the current...

  14. Urgent: Need IV Certification for RN in Bay Area

    student_B replied to LizzerRN's topic in General Nursing

    Just wanted to add that my ADN-RN program states that "initiating IV therapy is not part of undergraduate nursing curriculum" and that the professors said we'd be taught this during orientation when...

  15. Do I push out the air bubble?

    student_B replied to evastone's topic in General Nursing

    This was recently emphasized to us in NS, and aligns with the mfr recommendations. I don't think much, if any, of the air bubble escapes the needle tip, it's probably calibrated to fully empty the...

  16. Question About Fluid Resuscitation with Burns

    student_B replied to KrCmommy522's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    The way I read this problem is that -3100mL should be given within the first 8hrs (0300-1100) -It is now 0900 and the rate needs to be adjusted -0400-0900 @ 3100mL/8hr ordered rate = 387.5mL/hr x 5hrs...

  18. Nursing Dx

    student_B replied to arosario82's topic in General Students

  20. Whaaat??Male Nursing Student

    student_B replied to cjpowers's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Mostly advantages, some disadvantages. Many of my female classmates are assertive and treat me the same as anyone else, though sometimes I sense deference due to our patriarchal form of society. I...

  21. Following a nurse during clinicals :(

    student_B replied to Turtlepower's topic in General Students

    My first day shadowing an RN started out similar, with the nurse seeming unhappy about dealing with two inexperienced students on top of her daily workload. It was quite awkward in the beginning,...

  22. Your school's Grading scale?

    student_B replied to Mrs0417's topic in General Students

    90-100 A Below 75 Failure No rounding. Only exams are graded, everything else is pass/fail. These are the only two grade ranges I memorized, tried to find the grading scale in my class manuals to no...

  23. Question About Nursing Diagnosis
