  1. Do anyone have advice on what to take to my first clinicals?

    hunydew2262 replied to Brianna07's topic in General Students

    Basically, everything you will bring will need to fit into your pockets. Alcohol wipes and hand sanitizer are on the units. Your stethoscope, penlight, permanent marker for dressing changes, a watch...

  2. Study supplements ...Please answer ASAP

    hunydew2262 replied to jayjo's topic in General Students

    A&P is a knowledge based class. You mostly memorize stuff. I made my own flash cards because I knew I learned more that way. If you don't know what your learning style is, you can google and find...

  3. Advice from other students

    hunydew2262 replied to Kayla C.M.'s topic in General Students

    You are wanting to go into a lesser program, so that you can get a certificate you don't want and have to keep going to school to get the degree you do want because you are tired of going to school....

  4. Parent having surgery soon

    hunydew2262 replied to brokenroads27's topic in General Students

    Why are you afraid to tell you professors? They understand that some things are more important than nursing school. (Blasphemy, I know!) Let us know how everything goes.

  5. I feel completely lost....

    hunydew2262 replied to Nursingstudent2188's topic in General Students

  6. Need Help on an instructor who helped me fail Hesi

    hunydew2262 replied to natalieonaje's topic in General Students

    Absolutely. Using the excuse you were "intimidated" in a profession that is going to require you to stand your ground when advocating for a patient isn't going to reflect on you in a positive manner....

    hunydew2262 replied to lovelylady42's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'm in my final year of a BSN degree. For pharm, study the CNS and ANS, since nearly every med seems to affect one or both of these. As was stated, the hepatic, renal and gastro systems all play a...

  8. "Hi!!" and a question about nursing school

    hunydew2262 replied to tara07733's topic in General Students

    Do you have an advisor for the nursing program? Our community college actually has a pre-nursing option and the advisor for the program let us know what we needed to take. We all applied at the same...

    hunydew2262 replied to MarryingAnRN's topic in Nursing Career

    One thing I've been told is that nursing degrees are priceless. Just about any field has a niche you can fill with a BSN. One of my instructors worked for an attorney for many years in an advisory...

  11. I wish I had studied this before Nursing 101.......

    hunydew2262 replied to twins2005's topic in General Students

    By far the most difficult class I've taken is statistics. I think most BS programs require it, I'm not sure about AS programs. I had the hardest time with fluid balances. Lab values come with...

    hunydew2262 replied to mRpeNa's topic in General Students

    I was wondering the same thing about the instructor. I had a nurse that sat in the day room for 8 hours, literally. When my cancer patient needed his PCA pump refilled, I didn't bother with the...

  16. Holsitic Nursing Question

    hunydew2262 replied to thinkingaboutnursing's topic in Holistic

    I was just at the AHNCC site. It's not only one year post-BSN, it's one year working as a holistic nurse or 2000 hours within the last five years. I'd like to know how difficult it is to get a...

    hunydew2262 replied to jprimo's topic in General Students

    I know Canada has its own requirements to practice as an RN and you will need to pass their boards as a minimum requirement. Google the information, then contact them with your question. In the end...

  18. What is your school's HESI policy?

    hunydew2262 replied to KBoo's topic in Ohio Nursing

  19. What is your school's HESI policy?

    hunydew2262 replied to KBoo's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I was told by a 2008 class member that only 10% of the students are expected to pass the HESI on the first try. That freaked me out a little, since I know many of the students are very intelligent....

  20. "Nursing students with C's are still nurses".. ?

    hunydew2262 replied to whiteoleander5's topic in General Students

    I swear I just had this discussion with one of my instructors because I was whining about a grade. Her contention was that a RN does not wear her grades on her uniform. The best nurse you've ever seen...

    hunydew2262 replied to critical thinker's topic in General Students

    hunydew2262 replied to KBoo's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I'm at UC as well, in the BSN program at the Clermont cohort. We practice NCLEX questions all the time, most of our exams are NCLEX-type questions from past test banks. If your text book has a CD-ROM...

  24. Cincinnati Anyone??

    hunydew2262 replied to NursePeace's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I've seen LPN jobs in the paper through temp agencies. You might want to try there. Also, I've worked with LPN's during clinicals at Anderson Mercy. I don't know if they are currently hiring or if...

  25. Really a two year wait?

    hunydew2262 replied to futurecincynurse's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I'm in the BSN program at UC. I'm in the Clermont cohort and there are no wait times. I have peers that were accepted at main campus, started the same time I did, and no wait times. I have heard the...
