Either going there now, or even graduated would work. I'm just curious to know what their program is like since i just got accepted and was curious as to what to expect in the first semester. Or, if your just starting there this fall maybe we could m...

Our first year you only get 1..the third semester we started out with one and worked our way up to 3, but our instructor only gave you three if she felt you could hendle the stressof having three..unfortunately I was the first to get 3!! Which meant ...

I'm the saem way...I knew ahead of time that we're understaffed and it makes me mad because our clinicals give us 1 pt. and we're supposed to do all the stuff that we're never gonna do when we graduate...you don't have time to sit and read through a ...

your pt. is also a good candidate for the diagnosis of ineffective airway clearancce....if she's on home oxygen she obviously has some trouble getting o2 into her blood because of her COPD which by the way includes emphysema.... As far as an example ...

I wouldn't say it gets "easier" persay, just that you get used to constantly being bogged down and running on only 4 or 5 hours of sleep and then dealing with everyday life while trying to study somewhere in between all of that. Like right now, I'm r...

I'm currently working as a Nurse Extern at a hospital and I'm in my last year of nursing. It has helped me sooo much with school as far as feeling confident about going into a pt. room or just doing anything. I'm way more organized compared to before...

I have a crazy instructor who gave us these off the wall med calc. problems on our test. The one goes like this... You have a pump that's programmed at 50gtts/ml. It's running at 45 gtts/min. How many hours would it take to infuse a 1 liter (1000 ml)...

I didn't think you had to have 3 parts with a risk diagnosis...i thought they were only two part...and either way i don't see how oxygen is a risk for infection...but that's just me..there are alot of people on oxygen and I wouldn't think they are a ...

i'm a senior student also...I'm starting to see the tiny little light at the end of the very long tunnel...however, you've got alot of hard hard hard work ahead of you, I'm not gonna lie. Your life is gonna consist of work and school for the next two...

The first part is right, but Im not so sure about the answer for how to assess for sensation. I think you would want to do something along the lines of a neurovascular check which consists of the 5 P's...Palor, Pain, Pulses, Paralysis and Paresthesia...

Well...let me tell you...I went into my program knowing it was going to consume my life and well....it consumed my life and my next life!!! I'm barely passing with a C but I look at it this way...there's alot of people that aren't passing with now......

actually yeah, i had a really bad one and it even beats yours. my grandmother died of lung cancer in feb. and on my 4th week of clinical i had a patient that also had lung cancer. We went to lunch and when i came back (around 12) my patient was diein...

what's the best careplan book out there do you think?? I need some help with careplans..i have a nursing disgnosis book but it's not the greatest...please help me!!

I have a question, i heard it's not too soon to start practicing for the NCLEX test (this is my first year/semester in nursing)..i was just wondering which books helped out the most..thank you!!

My name is Rachel, I'm 19 yrs. old and I'm in my 4th week of my first year of nursing school. I'm starting to beat my head off of a wall because there is just SOOOOOOO much information and I don't know how to retain it all...I study my butt off and I...

Thank you guys.....I guess I also learned some other good points while taking this class......VERY GOOD STUDY HABITS!!!!!!

I know my grandmother is watching over me for sure and I've never been more sure then these past 3 tests I've taken in Microbiology. The antibiotic test I took i had an 84% (B), the bacteria tst I took was a 91% (A) and now the virus test I just took...

I had to go get a physical the other day for nursing school and along with my tetanus booster she put in pertusis (whooping chough) cause she said that's been goin around too, they've had 10 kids come in within 3 das that all had whooping cough so yo...

Well, ya might as well add me to that list also!!!! After June 23rd (summer classes) I'll be done with all my pre-reqs!!!! YAY!!! :monkeydance:

I applied in january and got my acceptance letter in March (two days after the dead line date). That was the first time I applied and I was worried even though I've got a really high GPA but I got in.

I'm taking it with my nursing courses. I've been told that it's basically all the A&P terms and since I'll be done with both of those I should be ok. I also have to stay a full time student so that gives me extra credits, but it's up to you.

I've worked at Wendy's for the past 3 years (high school till now when I'm done with my pre-reqs). Unfortunately I'm planning on working there until I graduate, it's pretty good because since I've been there for so long I basically make my own schedu...

I'm nervous about starting. I don't have any kids and I don't have a husband (but i do have a boyfriend, but he's understanding and will literally force an book in front of me to study if he knows i should be studying...which will be 24/7 now). We ha...

At my schol they look at your A&P grades and your micro and they give you points for whatever grade you get (A=50, B=40, C=30....just as an example) therefore the higher grade you have the more points and the more points you have the better. ther...

Here's my story on how i knew i was to be a nurse. My grandmother and my grandfather (two different sides of the family) are both ill. My grandmother acutally passed away but that's besides the fact. I was always interested in what the nurses and do...
