  1. trying to remain optimistic

    Cosper123 replied to 3rdgenRN2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Firstly I'd take little consideration to the opinion of your mother even though she has extensive experience in the field. She is from a different generation that sees things differently, she has had...

  2. I was wondering which is harder Micro or A&P2?

    Cosper123 replied to Iwannabeababynurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Firstly, Micro is easier for most people since it is very interesting. I have yet to meet a single person who didn't enjoy Micro...and enjoying a class makes it fun and smooth. However, I agree with...

  3. First Semester, Final Exam in nursing. Help!

    Cosper123 replied to Nurses-Rule1987's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Usually there is a heavier emphasis on the more recent material. And in these culmulative exams, the older stuff doesn't focus so much on details but more on main concepts. I've noticed this over...

  4. What to do while on waitlists?

    Cosper123 replied to salsaking's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The absolute most important information for those cards, IMO, would be: classification side effects safe dose range generic name nursing considerations Reason being for generic name is you will see so...

  5. Math...again

    Cosper123 replied to redneckrn2b's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    There's nothing wrong with reasoning through a problem. I just have a preference for formulas as I have an easier time remembering them and such. AND, in case you are getting at what I think you are...

  6. Math...again

    Cosper123 replied to redneckrn2b's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Thank you for clearing it up

  7. OB PIH Careplan Help!!!

    Cosper123 replied to OBPhobia's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    In that case nursing priorities: 1. monitor maternal, fetal, and placental status. 2. prevent or reduce progressive fluid accumulation 3. promote positive maternal/fetal outcome (haha no brainer here,...

  8. OB PIH Careplan Help!!!

    Cosper123 replied to OBPhobia's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Well I've just started my OB rotation a few weeks ago so this may be of litle to no help, but right off the top of my head I'd say some important nursing priorities would be : 1. Identify and minimize...

  9. Math...again

    Cosper123 replied to redneckrn2b's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Yeah I wouldn't be applying your dimensional logic to my explianation of the formula because I really don't worry about the details to that degree. All I know is the order divided by time is your...

  10. Math...again

    Cosper123 replied to redneckrn2b's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Yep, should read 35 drops per min. And that's why I use formulas instead of trying to reason my way through a problem

  11. Soooo Tired Of Studying?

    Cosper123 replied to alliestar's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yeah it gets worse in the nursing program. But your hard work now will help build a solid foundation for that point. While I think it's more than possible to take Micro and A&P at the same time...

  12. What to do while on waitlists?

    Cosper123 replied to salsaking's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you haven't already, take a medical terminology class, pharmocology, and Spanish. If you've done all of that already, I'd find out which Basic Nursing book your program uses and start reading up...

  13. Math...again

    Cosper123 replied to redneckrn2b's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    "I have an order of Aminophylline 1gm in 500 cc d5w to infuse at 0.5mg/kg/hr for a pt weighing 154. " The way I read this, the 500ml/gm is moot since we are given the hourly rate. So, assuming the 154...

  14. Bipolar nursing student

    Cosper123 replied to PharmLover's topic in General Nursing

    In my experiences (personal, not professonal...after all, I'm no psych nurse) bipolars are bad at self medicating and going off their prescribed meds. I would think however, that as a nurse you would...

  15. am I a wimp?

    Cosper123 replied to MIA-RN's topic in General Nursing

    *claps* If I had just one thing to take away from this thread...I'd chose this: To the OP, of course you aren't weak...but I hope you knew that, or at least do now. If you do perceive any of this as...

  16. Taking Photos on Your Mobile Phone in a Aged Care Facility

    Cosper123 replied to miss flossy's topic in General Nursing

    The OP never said their school required pictures of residents in the home. It simply said she needed pictures. First thing that came to my mind...as a student...was get non copy-righted pictures...

  17. IV Calculations

    Cosper123 replied to mkmm429's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Ok here is how I set up all my IV calculations - O/T X D /60 Where O=order, T=time in hours, D=drop factor, and the 60 is for gtt/ml(breaking it down to seconds) The section O/T gives you ml/hr.......

  18. I'm stuck on this care plan.

    Cosper123 replied to StudentNurseAbby's topic in General Students

    Read Daytonite's posts as if they were pages from a bible for nursing. They are often times overwhelming and confusing to a student but this poster has helped me to think of things in a way that I...

  19. Would this be inappropriate?

    Cosper123 replied to Susan9608's topic in General Nursing

    There is no way this would refresh their grief. They will be thinking of it regardless..My parents have been gone now for over a decade and I still think of them around the holidays. I could only...

    Cosper123 replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I'm not breastfeeding...heck I'm not even female. But, I'd love to have a copy of breastfeeding rights to hand out to new mommies. Is there a place where I can get these on a card that will fit in a...

  21. Do I still have a chance if I fail a semester?

    Cosper123 replied to Chloe8043's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Go and speak with your professors. They can sign a form that allows you to withdrawl from a class without it showing up as an incomplete or withdrawl. Also, some colleges offer the ability to redo a...

  22. A majority of Americans would tolerate higher taxes to help pay for universal health

    Cosper123 replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    How does that apply to Germany's or even France's system? Seems there is a great deal of choice...and free market to me does not seem proven at all. The free market means those of high risk don't get...

  23. A majority of Americans would tolerate higher taxes to help pay for universal health

    Cosper123 replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Yes, clarification is necessary because you aren't making sense. Your statement was one huge logical fallacy and now I am politely asking you to please explain it. So please, stop deflecting and...

  25. A majority of Americans would tolerate higher taxes to help pay for universal health

    Cosper123 replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Zashaglaka, Is there any single payer system you could ever see any merit in? For example, what do you think of Germany's? It really is only a matter of time before we have a single payer system of...
