Hey Guys, I am in nursing school and doing exceptionally well. We started out with 37 students, and we are now down to 15. The semester is not over. This school is notorious for gradutaing anywhere from 3-10 students. I see why. Initially, ...

Hello.. I have just taken boards on December 13 th for my license as a practical nurse and I passed it with 85 questions in an hour. Okay, I am not here to bring any attention to myself because, God is the reason for my success. However, I am here to...

Normally a tesio is placed until they can get the access put in. Although, it's going to be placed it's not ready for immediate use. The catheter however, will be. I am sorry anout your friends father.

They are both A. An aneurysm can cause hypoactive bowel sounds and we need to ensure that they are active. The second question is A because of the absent pulses. ABC"S

have you all experienced Nursing instructors from hell. One of my instructors who is essentially a problem to everyone bit my head off about charting in the computers. She never has anything encouraging to say and tries so hard to make you feel ine...

Our drop rate is excessively high and in my opinion sad. We started out with 37 students and are now at 14. This is only first semester. They project the drop rate to be higher in the second semester. People who were dismissed varied. However, I ...

I do have an instructor who is horrible to many of my peers. These people are smart,prudent,and capable of becoming great nurses. I understand toughness very well. I do not understand being flat out mean,rude, and obnoxious. Instructors should e...

Curious me I get the same response. People always say, i know you got an A or don't worry you know you'll do fine. The truth is I do not worry but, the lord and I are always in conversation about Nursing. So, it's always a concern. I love the quote...

BSNto be, I stated an opinion from my vantage point about my life and my grades. For me it takes discipline! I could easily involve myself in many other things aside from studying. I am raising three boys and am tired plenty of the time. By t...

I truly think that grades depend on the discipline of the individual. I am a mother of three,married,had one child in basketball,one in tae kwon do,I took 12 credit hours a semester, and managed to make straight A's in all classes. A's on every test,...

Excellent!!!!you're In With Those Scores Alone!!!!

I am one of those people who don't ask and i'd rather not be asked. It got to the point in my pre nursing classes no one asked, except the girl who sat beside me. They knew I made an A and she was always trying to compete . She was however, no compet...

I will be an LPN in 12 months. I chose this route because the city I live in has a horrible BSN program and are actually about to lose their accredidation,and the nearest ADN program is 45 minutes away which will be a no-no for me. I plan to work u...

When interpreting ABG's you first look at the Ph. It should be 7.35-7.45. If it is above 7.45 it is alkalotic. Think about the "K" in this word.(kick up the Ph). If it is below 7.35 is is acidotic(think about the "D") it means sown the PH. Next y...

How do you guys handle dropping one letter grade? I was an A student and I have been in nursing school for a week. I have made B's so far on two test. Okay, it may not seem bad. For me it's an adjustment. The instructor grades hard. She will ta...

Hey Tn Trauma Tech,it's normal to feel nervous. You are about to embark upon a new dimension in nursing and to embrace the dream of your career. Relax and just study Math(percentage,decimals,fractions,division,multiplication,reading comprehension,...

Hi to all of the current pn students. I will be starting Nursing school next year. The first classes in the curriculum are dosage and calculations,nutrition and diet therapy and nursing fundamentals. I am wondering what to expect and are there any ...

It depends on the conviction. I would be honest if asked and not volounteer if they do not ask. You will enjoy it. It is a bunch of work. Namely, the fact that you have four patients to put on. Not initially but eventually. Read about dialysis ...
