  1. Don't wear gloves when doing vitals on post-partum mom

    mommyjskns replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    I was told that it is just common practice for infection control. You don't want to transfer anything to the patient's environment that could possibly get them

  2. Anyone Starting At UPMC Shadyside School of Nursing?

    mommyjskns replied to ChristineN's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Don't expect to hear until April or May. If it is any sooner, consider yourself lucky. I applied in December and never heard anything till May 8. This was the most agonizing part of the whole...

  4. Do you prefer studying from index cards?

    mommyjskns replied to jbjints's topic in General Students

    I have used note cards since I started school last year and I think they are a fantastic way to organize your information. I have been very successful studying this way.......it helps me so much more...

  5. This was a question on our test today. What do you think the answer is?

    mommyjskns replied to APRNReneeJ's topic in General Students

    I would definitely say A. At the end stage of Alzheimers, the pt is going to think and believe whatever he wants, no matter what you "challenge" him to

  6. What the heck do these people think?

    mommyjskns replied to imn2nursin's topic in General Students

    I have a BS and a Master's and neither was as time consuming as nursing school is. That being said, I enjoy it, and have learned to budget my time more wisely. This will be important once we are...

  7. Need Sleep

    mommyjskns replied to MermiesGreatGig's topic in General Students

    I can relate........I can't turn my brain off either, and it is worse the night before clinical, and the night after clinical. The night before, I just lie there and think about what might happen...

  8. Nursing School Students...Is It Hard?

    mommyjskns replied to HappyMeNow's topic in General Students

    Nursing school, like anything worth having, takes alot of work. That being said, I love my classes, and find them very interesting. I also was out of school for awhile before returning, and I am...

  9. Doom and Gloom (A & P 1)

    mommyjskns replied to clamonte79's topic in General Students

    A&P 1 & 2 contain LOTS of information, but that information is really interesting. I never had any science in college, but I pulled an A in both A&Ps as well as in Micro. If you want to...

  11. New interesting abortion poll

    mommyjskns replied to danu3's topic in General Nursing

    What does this even mean? The only thing that wins each time you scratch your skin is death! All those poor bacteria, flicked off into the near vacuum of suburbia! I don't think that there is any...

  12. New interesting abortion poll

    mommyjskns replied to danu3's topic in General Nursing

    Shenanigans--WELL SAID!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for clarifying so well. I totally agree with

  13. New interesting abortion poll

    mommyjskns replied to danu3's topic in General Nursing

    Yes people want them. As long as they are healthy and white and not too old. So, once again, we are starting in with the bold type and the raised voices and the nasty insinuations. Of course we...

  14. New interesting abortion poll

    mommyjskns replied to danu3's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, what statphleb did was amazing, truly, incredibly amazing. Astonishingly amazing! Incredible! Too bad it doesn't always turn out like this for teenage mothers with no work skills and an abusive...

  15. New interesting abortion poll

    mommyjskns replied to danu3's topic in General Nursing

    Well said! Yes it may be difficult, but life is life. You did the best thing you could for your children. You saved their lives.

  17. UPMC Shadyside Questions

    mommyjskns replied to thatpasunshine's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Let me know what books they want for your nursing classes. I might have them if they stay with the ones they used last

  18. UPMC Shadyside Questions

    mommyjskns replied to thatpasunshine's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    As far as the books go, why don't you call the school and ask them? I could tell you what books I just used for N100 and N101, which I think are the classes you will be taking first, but I'm not sure...

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

    mommyjskns replied to whiteoleander5's topic in General Students

    "Any one can memorize a book and get through the class with an "A". That by no means will make them a good Nurse. " I have to believe that if "anyone" could memorize a book and get an "A", this...

  21. Passed The Psb!! Upmc Shadyside

    mommyjskns replied to megank5183's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Do you definitely have to wait for fall admission? Sounds like you aren't

  22. Passed The Psb!! Upmc Shadyside

    mommyjskns replied to megank5183's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with ChristineN............your first classes at Shadyside will be A&P 1 and Micro, so use this time to take them at CCAC--then you won't have to take them when you start. Actually, you...

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

    mommyjskns replied to whiteoleander5's topic in General Students

    I would think that all of that "theory" could only help you on the floor.........if you don't know it to begin with, how can you apply it in the clinical situation or pass the NCLEX? Yes, what you...

  24. Your opinion please

    mommyjskns replied to Nrsstudent09's topic in General Students

    What would you appeal? If you passed the class, you don't have a grade to appeal. This being said, I don't think it is fair that a senior class was used in a research project. However, if your...

  25. Passed The Psb!! Upmc Shadyside

    mommyjskns replied to megank5183's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am in my second year of the part time program and only have good things to say about it. Great instructors and challenging but very interesting courses. If I can help in any way , let me
