In my school nsg210 (Mother/Baby) seems to be the breaker for a lot of students. Unfortunatly that is what I am in now. It's not the clinicals but the tests. I got my first 80% and was really bummed since I thought I did much better. I'm not sure...

I just wanted to let you all in on a great thing that is helping me this semester. A Palm pilot. The best thing about it is I have a drug guide on it that makes it real easy to look things up and not have to carry a book on the floor. Next kicker...
I got the m125 Palm. It runs around 149.00. The thing that I liked was it had 8mb memory on board plus has a slot for expansion cards that way I won't be limited on what can be on there as I go through school. I would have gone up a model to get t...
To Kids R Fun --- Do you have a gym or other place that has water aerobics? Great for the body by using natural resistance yet supporting you at the same time. Now if I could only listen to my own wisdom I wouldn't be in the slump I am. I think it'...

I'm still a student but do carry my own insurance. It's always better to be safe than sorry. If something is to happen the hospital or agancy ect... is ultimately going to cover their butts not yours!
Hey fellow students!:roll I'm so proud of everyone and the success that all seem to be having. I too am trying to loose weight: Started at 180 went up way UP to 210 (I'm 5' 8) and now am down to 190 and holding for the past 3 months. It took 7...
I don't normally say anything off the back. Docs sometimes assume that you will understand everything and then don't do the patient teaching that is warrented. But if there is a problem or an "uneasy" feeling you better believe I'll be the advocate...
That was wonderful!! Gave me goosebumps. Congrats on the pinning. We get capped tonight for making it to 210. We get our Sr. Stripe in 310 then pinned at graduation. Congrats again.:roll

You sound like I did after finishing Micro. It gets better. I'm in the second semester Nsg 210 and really looking forward to getting on the floor to use what we've learned so far. The first semester was kinda boring because of all the bookwork but...
Actually I will be able to tell you a little bit about clinicals after this weekend. I will be doing my first clinical on Postpartum and Newborn nursery. I've been in the nursing home to do vitals and histories as well as head to toe assessments bu...
In our school your testing average has to be above 79.5% not the overall average after papers and clinicals are averaged in. The overall grade scale is: 100-94 A, 93-87 B, 86-80 C.
You need to grill your school about subsidized and unsubsidized loans for your schooling. Also does your school or state have any contracts where they pay for your schooling if you agree to work for such-and-such hospital or in an underprivilaged ar...
Congrats on all your accomplishments so far and for those to come. I say go for it. I only have one thing to say and that is TIME MANAGEMENT :roll Froggy
Our uniforms are white pants or dress and the smock for the pants have 2 blue 1 inch stripes on the front.(vertical) I feel like a big marshmallow. At least we get to wear blue scrubs for the L&D rotation. :roll
Jennifer, This book may help you with the math aspect of nursing it has me. Dimensional Analysis for Meds by Curren and Munday. Once you learn this way you can do just about all calculations needed from how much to give to drip rates and such. ...
