This post really hits home right now. My son is on Cocaine and he is shaking and hitting his daughter. She is six months old, but she was a preemie. She is a really good baby and I feel helpless. I have notified social services and the military. My s...

We just got our syllabus for nursing101 today. We are required to read and write a review of an article from a nursing journal three times this semester. They are due the first school day of each month. My question is: What nursing journals do you su...

I have orientation on Thurs. and am so excited, nervous, and all the other emotions. I just printed off my cource syllabus from Blackboard. I am so ready to get going. It is exciting. I have wanted to do this for years and finally am able to do it.

I am just wondering what are the perameters of normal in the difference between standing and sitting pulse. Is it the difference that causes concern or the just the actual numbers? Also, what are some of causes of a increases pulse rate when standing...

I just need to rant a little and express my concerns. I am started school next week and am very worried about it. I can handle the work load, but life seems to be throwing me curve balls. My son goes for a biopsy of his thyroid on Monday. I have a pr...

Don't give up your dream. Have you tried other options? Many hospitals pay for your tuition in exchange for an agreement to work for so long. Also your local state board of nursing may have scholarships available. Look into the WIA grant. Just a coup...

I want to thank you all for your support. I am getting ready to go to the showing. I know the Lord has a purpose for all this. Several people are praying that the Lord will use Josh's death for His glory and send a revival among the local young peopl...

I am wondering what do you do when family members give the patient things they are on doctors orders not to have. Example: NPO , bedrest only, no stimulation, 32 week pregnant preeclamptic mom. Family member and friends giving her cigerettes, drinks,...

I start nursing school in August. I am going crazy sitting around waiting for school to start. I didn't take any summer classes and now I wish I did. I don't have a job and find myself wondering around the house all day or sitting at the computer rea...

I can relate to this so much. It seems that things always happen when I go to nursing school. I am getting ready to start the RN program at a local cc. I am currently an LPN that has been a sahm for the last fifeteen years. I am going back to finish ...

I am an LPN going back to school for my RN. I haven't worked in several years and am a little rusty on my skills. Anyway, the question is about my son. ( I am making him an appointment today, BTW) MY son is fourteen years old. A couple of years ago h...

Anyone heard of a Marshal steth? Is it a good one and how does it compare to a Littman cardiologist III?

I have taken him to the doctor. They did an EKG and a lot of blood work. All the tests came back normal. He is going to get an ultrasound of his thyroid and a consult with the ped cardioligist. Yes, it is scary. I wasn't really looking for medical a...

I would be better if I knew what we needed to get and could start planning and purchasing the needed items, but are program will not let you buy anything until the day of orientation. I will not know what to get ect unitl then. My children are all o...

How essential is a PDA in nursing school? It seems that it would really help, but if money is tight should I go ahead and get one? I may be getting some money from scholarships and grants for living expenses and was thinking of using a little for a P...

Anyone have to take a skills test before nursing school starts in the fall? We have to take a skills test on CNA type skills in the fall. I am so nervous! I am just wondering if anyone else has taken it and what it was like if they did.

kburns0016.... Do you have a list of the 23 skills that we are going to have to know? I just have the ones that are listed on the letter they sent.

I am a LPN , but have been out of practice for 15 years and am afraid that my skills are too rusty. Some things such as CPR come second nature to me. I just perform the skill without having to think about it. I am hoping that the other skills will be...

Why do we have to wait until after orientation to get our books? I can order the books through are school bookstore. They have a list of what we need, but we we have been instructed to wait until after oreintation. Orientation at my school is the thr...

I am also schooling through the summer. I have used Rod and Staff before. We now use a mixture. I have all their work planned for the summer. I am going to plan from August to December in the beginning of August. It is a good idea to take off August...

I live right outside of Columbia. It is really Knifley. I know some other homeschool families in Burkesville. Do you know many families there? We do need to start a support thread for nursing students that homeschool. What are curriculum are you usin...

That is so cool! I am so excited about school starting. We should keep in touch and help one another. What do you think? I noticed that you are a CNA. Do you work in Somerset? I am a LPN from years ago. I have been out of nursing for fifeteen years w...

"kburns0016" I just noticed that you are in south central kentucky and have orientation on the same day that I do. Are you going to Somerset Community College?

I am also determined to get in shape before nursing school in august. I lost 90 lbs several years ago and have now gained back some of it. I need to lose fourty pounds. I am just wondering how I will fit in exercise into school. During prereq. I got ...

I was just wondering how the economy and gas prices are affecting everyone's plans for school. For myself, I have to commute fifty miles one way and that is going to put a strain on our money. My husband is the only one that works. It will be hard. I...
