    LaceyRN posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I apologize if this has been answered before but I didn't see it anywhere and I have thoroughly read the first tip. I am currently a student and I will graduate in December. Is there a time frame for...

  2. Sex and Nursing School

    LaceyRN replied to motyandproudofit's topic in General Students

    That's ridiculous! He should have been more understanding esp. given the circumstances and at least he was getting it once a week! I think men can be very selfish regarding sex and how much they want...

    LaceyRN replied to flipflop239's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  4. Made Incredibly Easy Books

    LaceyRN replied to shoebottom's topic in General Students

    I bought the Pharmacology and never used it! There was so much info and the book was so thick! I was overwhelmed whenever I opened it to try and use it so I never did. I didn't have time to use it...

  6. curious BSN OR ADN why?

    LaceyRN replied to butterflies135's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This was my situation too, with an AA degree and over 100 credits from my first college experience. But there are no direct BSN programs in my area, only RN to BSN so I had no options other than ADN....

    LaceyRN replied to Jedi of Zen's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    The only IV push med I have given so far was on peds floor and there was certain protocol to follow. We always flush with NS (unless incompatible with med) before and after the IVP. The mls of flush...

  10. Kaplan question about sickle cell anemia

    LaceyRN replied to DisneyNurse18's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Oh, I know! I am so frustrated with Kaplan and I just got it. We were taught in my program that pain control is a priority and Kaplan says it's a psychosocial need and to eliminate it as an answer on...

  11. Wanna know what nursing school is like?

    LaceyRN replied to NurseMike9111's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    At my school they are called Process Recordings but I think they're the same thing. What you have to do is turn in a written record of a therapeutic communication you had with a patient, and your...

  12. Update to "I thought it would be easier to get a job"

    LaceyRN replied to TangoLima's topic in First Year After Licensure

    That's exactly what I do, too! Polite persistence, a warm smile, and a firm handshake goes a long way in making a great first impression.

  13. Update to "I thought it would be easier to get a job"

    LaceyRN replied to TangoLima's topic in First Year After Licensure

  15. lab values

    LaceyRN replied to LyndseyER's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I LOVE IT! That's so creative! It reminds me of a saying my friend made up in A&P... "I am Chief Pepsin and these are my cells." Chief cells release pepsin for digestion :nuke: At least I think...

  17. Did RNs Have To Practice Bathing Each Other In NS

    LaceyRN replied to me-too's topic in General Students

    We pretended to wash each other. One student was in the bed fully clothed and the other went through the entire process of bed bath with a dry cloth. It gave me perspective on what it was like to be...

  20. Nursing: I'm just not that into it!

    LaceyRN replied to carebear1976's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just a thought... I, too, hate poo, pee, vomit and body fluids. But somehow it hasn't bothered me much in NS. Well, at first it did! I almost gagged (only twice in 1.5 years of school) at poop but ya...
