I'm in a second term of nursing and expected to graduate sometimes in next year summer. My fiance and I had talked about having a baby sooner, well, right around my graduation if not sooner. My question is, would that is the right time to get pregnan...

No, it's not late. One of my classmates actually in her 50s. I think it's amazing how she could find the motivation coming to school and keep kicking. If this is where your heart is at, go for it.

Hello everyone. I have some several questions would like to ask and hope you guys being able to help me out. First question is, can a respiratory therapist starts an IV on a pt? Second question, can a piggybag running at the same time with NS or D5W ...

Thanks for replying to my questions. I was wondering about that because my pt needed a new IV and I notified the nurse, the nurse was busy and referred me to my instructor. I informed my instructor then she was in the room checked if the iv was leaki...

I'm not a nurse yet, just a nursing student and I'm learning as I go but why giving insulin when her BS was below 110? From my understanding, you give insulin when it's higher than 110 and above according to the sliding scale or based on their accuch...

Thanks guys! You guys are the best!

I'm doing a teaching project on Diverticular disease. I was wondering if anyone could help me to where I can find those huge pictures for my poster? I saw them done quite a few in school from I don't know what term. I want to have a huge picture of a...

I'm doing a teaching project and I've done this one before, however, this new one is totally different. So basically, it has to be something creative. The teaching project is on the Diverticulitis. I just wander if anyone could help me by giving me i...

Is it only me who has this anxiety or it happens to everyone else as students nurses too? Okay, here is my problem that I'm trying to overcome. I'm not feeling too confident in myself in interacting, explaining or I get really uncomfortable staying t...

No. I think she told the instructor, she forgot to check the apical pulse and need to do that so she went straight to the room and her instructor followed behind. In the room was where her instructor asking questions and she got nervous and everythin...

Okay, everyone. I'd posted in the past describing how devastated I was flunked my clinical and just recent got back in. The class starts in several weeks. Currently, I'm reviewing the old notes that friends passed down and reading the book. But I can...

Wow! One chance to take a math test? I'm sorry to hear that. Did you exit the program and when are you planning to come back in? Thanks so much for inputs. I do really appreciate it

I'm sorry to hear about your story. Guess what it's very similar to mind in some ways and I got booted OUT and just got back in. May I asked which school you are going to? I tried to explained to them what was going on. And to be honest, I deserved t...

Thanks for sharing your techniques. But would it be practical to read the whole chapters? How those notes or study guides passed down from previous students? Are they a good way to study or just a supplement?

For all AL nurses, how much do you make? Could you live and buy a house with your salary alone without assistant from your spouses? I'm planing to move there but at the same time after I become a nurse, my husband will be going back to school full ti...

I was just wondering if we are required to purchased their clothings through the website that they had privided. I feel safer to try them on instead of going online and order them. I'm a very petite girl and it's hard to find clothes that could easil...

Now you guy really confusing me. Is this conversation some sort of volunteering pertaining to the online pharm course? I've seen you mentioned Black Board...

What kind of volunteer opportunity are you talking about? No, I didn't get no email. Um...I purchased a pair of Sketcher and a pair of New Balance. I'll be using sketcher for my clinical, feel comfortable, wide on the tip and a new balance for my dai...

No, I haven't received any email from the tutor either. Um...you smart purchased those stuff during the tax free day. I bought my two pairs of shoes in the mall for cheap. They were on sale, buy one get one half off, plus those prices already reduced...

I'm in section 3 of the dosage calc, not too bad at all, just that memorizing those new abbre and converting apothecary is very challenging. Have anyone opened up reading other texts beside these two yet?

I think if you're transferring from CC to Univ, you're only looking to spend approx 2 years on top of those credits you had. Then you can take NCLEX, if I'm not mistaken. But do remember though that each Univ has different requirements for their prog...

I wanted to have an online pharm too, but if I picked that my clinical will be too far away. Yeah, the driving is kinda nuts but you gotta do what you gotta do, right? I thought I might be the only student lives miles away from school.

I don't know anyone else who in the day program, but I did partnered up with a lady I met during orientation. We both chose the same section, so basically we have the same classes and clinical. Our schedule: M-Test T- classes from 9am-4pm (break in b...

I think only 24 people are in the night/weekend schedules. So, it's quite competitive. I'm in the day program, so just like kertz81 said the schedules are varied. Luckily, I got to pick the one I want :)

Before I was accepted to FCCJ, I was doing my AA hoping to get into USA(University of South AL)BSN. But when I received the letter from FCCJ that I can start the program, I did not think twice. In my opinion, working on your prereqs first, get them o...
