  1. Can you find a good job with Excelsior ADN?

    TeresaRN2b posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    I am currently in an RN program that has an LPN exit option. I will be eligible to take my state boards for my LPN in December. Originally when I started school I planned to go all the way through...

  2. Teacher's Pet

    TeresaRN2b replied to Nurse-o-Matic's topic in General Students

    ROFLOL!:roll I am sorry found this thread particularly funny. Um, I have to say no, we really don't have any teacher's pets in my class, but we certainly have our share of annoying suck-ups. You...

  3. major dental problems interfering with school (vent)

    TeresaRN2b replied to FutureArmyNurse's topic in General Students

    My teeth are bad, bad, bad. I had perfect teeth till I was 23. Not a cavity in my mouth ever. I have not the money to do nursing school and fix my teeth. I had 3 root canals in the past 2 years...

  4. My teacher humiliated me in front of the class

    TeresaRN2b replied to twintoo's topic in General Students

    Perhaps a better way to approach this to your instructor then would have definitely been to do it in private and also approach her as a student representative. Saying something to the effect of "some...

    TeresaRN2b replied to MisterArnold's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Oh no, I am having the same problem and it is really upsetting. I know that I have had some mild hearing loss USUALLY it is not a problem even with blood pressures. I have a littman stethoscope and...

  6. non compliant diabetic family

    TeresaRN2b replied to IrishFLRN's topic in School

    As the mother of a diabetic child here are some suggestions I would make. Sometimes it's not neglect, (although in this case it very well may be). Sometimes it's just a lot of work to keep up with...

  8. Nursing school? - with toddlers?

    TeresaRN2b replied to d&d's mom's topic in General Students

    Awe shucks, you all are too much. Made me laugh and smile today. Actually in my opinion it's easier to do school with the little ones sometimes than the older ones. My older kids wear me out. I...

    TeresaRN2b replied to d&d's mom's topic in General Students

    Yep, it can be done. I have 5 kids ages 10, 6, 4, 2, and 5 months and I just started nursing classes this fall. I took all my prereqs and then knocked out all my gen ed classes before starting to...

  11. Six Rights of Med Admin....HELP!

    TeresaRN2b replied to soontobelpn's topic in General Students

    I actually learned it as 5 rights to, but it was pretty easy to add the last part to the acronym and it probably is good to remember the documentation as part of it too.

  12. Six Rights of Med Admin....HELP!

    TeresaRN2b replied to soontobelpn's topic in General Students

    Okay dumb, but I remember it like this Dopey - Drug People - Person Don't - Dosage Remember - Route Things - Time Do they? - Documentation

    TeresaRN2b replied to RNIAM's topic in General Students

  14. Do prereqs "expire"?

    TeresaRN2b replied to cshell2's topic in General Students

    It really depends on the school. The school I am attending has no time limits, so everything transferred in. Another school I looked at had a 7 year time limit on A&P classes and 10 years on...

  15. How many babies are nameless after birth?

    TeresaRN2b posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    Ok, just curious how often you come across parents who have no name for their baby when it's born? My husband and I are so clueless right now and wondering how common it is for parents not to have...

  16. Reusing medical supplies

    TeresaRN2b posted a topic in General Nursing

    What do you think of doctor's offices that reuse medical supplies? I am not talking about things that are sterilized and standard to be reused. Here are two examples. One, I worked as a CMA for a...

  17. Reusing medical supplies

    TeresaRN2b replied to TeresaRN2b's topic in General Nursing

    Let me first add that my issue was not with reusing disposable items as much as it is not properly sterilizing them. If you want to reuse otoscope covers then they should be soaked at the end of the...

  18. nursing math

    TeresaRN2b replied to shelby88669's topic in General Students

    My guess is it will be a lot of math involving dosage and calculations. Maybe you can start working on studying up on that before the semester starts. I know that is one of the things I am looking...

    TeresaRN2b replied to CMAMW's topic in General Nursing

    Ok, here are my thoughts since I am a medical assistant going for my RN. I have been to nursing school and I have been to MA school. Medical assistant school is a joke compared to nursing school....

    TeresaRN2b replied to bet0326's topic in General Students

    Ok, I will tell you I HATED micro! I didn't do well in the class and I am usually a very good student. I will tell you this though I think had I had a different instructor I probably would have had...

    TeresaRN2b posted a topic in General Students

    I have the worst teacher. I have 100% in the class so far, but I have to look everything up in the book to understand what is going on. Supposedly everything you need to know is from the lecture and...

    Hopefully, I 'll get something out of this class. We'll see.

  23. Needle phobia

    TeresaRN2b replied to KristaB's topic in General Students

    It's okay if your phobic of needles poking YOU. It would be a bigger problem if you were afraid of poking others. I worked as a phlebotomist and was very good at drawing blood, but that doesn't mean...
