  2. Nursing Diagnosis on CEN?

    MollyMel posted a topic in Emergency

    Hey there, Been lurking a bit lately, but not posting (I've been too busy with the first year of nursing thing!) I have a CEN question. I did the online MedEd review class by Jeff Solheim to study,...

  3. Nursing Diagnosis on CEN?

    MollyMel replied to MollyMel's topic in Emergency

    And.... I passed! Yup, no nursing diagnoses (more peds than I would have liked though ;-) I really feel like the practice exam from the CEN website, and of Solheim's material (the little flip book or...

  4. Nursing Diagnosis on CEN?

    MollyMel replied to MollyMel's topic in Emergency

    i've done bot the med ed and mc strategies reviews. I think they complimented each other nicely. I also have been reading one of the ENA books. I just wish I had more access to practice questions. I...

  5. Nursing Diagnosis on CEN?

    MollyMel replied to MollyMel's topic in Emergency

    Thanks! Yes, I had read the outline (many many times) and didn't see anything about nursing diagnoses. It's just that Lipincott's has so many ND questions I got a little scared. I'm not to thrilled...

  6. Reglan and Compazine IV push policies?

    MollyMel replied to MollyMel's topic in Emergency

    Thanks! There are a few nurses who will change the documentation to say they gave it IV in 50cc ns, but more who do not. While on orientation I have been documenting what I do (IVP or IV), and...

    MollyMel replied to ashcarr30's topic in New York Nursing

    Hey, I am just finishing up in the ATOP program. You do need to be generally available during those times (Thurs 3-8, Fri 8-3, Sat 7-7) but you will not actually be there all those times. First year,...

  8. Prospective Second Degree Nursing Student

    MollyMel replied to spete39's topic in General Nursing

    I was in a similar boat, all pre-reqs done and a previous bachelors. I did apply for accelerated bachelors, but also a 2 year associates. I ended up choosing the ADN because it was cheaper and started...

  9. Your school's exam review policy

    MollyMel posted a topic in General Students

    Hello, I am wondering what your school's exam review policy is? We used to go over tests question by question, as long as everyone had taken the test, and with the understanding that no one take...

  10. about IV equipment

    MollyMel replied to Amy2005's topic in General Students

    You mean the IV infusion pump right? This site: http://classes.kumc.edu/general/IVPump/IVSimulation.html gives a general practice. You should also find out what pump your hospital has and look that...

  11. At what point can a NY State RN student take the LPN exam?

    MollyMel replied to jbjints's topic in General Students

    Hey, Our school (in NYC) told us that RN students could no longer write the LPN exam after the first year of clinical classes. I do think it changed in the last few years. Some of our students were...

  12. How do you check the patient's blood glucose??

    MollyMel replied to Meltem.Y's topic in General Nursing

    - which solution do you use to clean the area? (alcohol, iodine etc.) we (my school and the hospitals we have clinicals at) use alcohol, but we make sure it dries fully before we do the test or it...

  13. Exam question on scabies

    MollyMel replied to pinkiepie_RN's topic in General Students

    Hi, I'm curious... In our book it says Scabies is transmitted through extended contact with the infected person, as in housemates, sexual partners etc. but not through casual contact such as...

    MollyMel posted a topic in Public, Community Health

    Hello, I am really interested in Public Health Nursing, but I'm a second career nursing student and really don't want to go back to M-F 8-5. I have always done better in jobs where I had irregular...

  15. Phillips Beth Israel School of Nursing in new york

    MollyMel replied to shippoRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    They changed the med-surg book? I guess that means none of us can sell ours. Oh well, I wasn't really planning on it anyway, I like having the reference around. Make sure you do buy both volumes of...

    I think you can get away with another lab coat most of the time. You do have to wear the white lab coat all the time in lab, but some students wore ones without the

    MollyMel replied to shippoRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi Bayley, That was my exact schedule last fall, It was very manageable. Spanish was a lot of fun, and really useful since there are so many Spanish speaking patients at BI. The clinical instructors...

    MollyMel replied to shippoRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You will be fine with an earlier edition for most of the books, as long as it is only a couple years, not 5. The only thing is teachers may assign tables or charts to know, or pages to read so you...

  20. Phillips Beth Israel School of Nursing in new york

    MollyMel replied to shippoRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I found the uniforms ran a little big, or at least true to size. You should be fine with a small if that is what you normally wear. The tops are shapeless and unflattering on everybody so we're all...

    MollyMel replied to shippoRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hey, I'm going in to second year with Mystiq and since I know she is on vacation I will answer. So the answer is yes, and no. They expect you to buy them, but you won't really need them all. I'm...

    MollyMel replied to shippoRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hey tootsieny, I'm sorry you did not get accepted this time around, it will happen for you though! I really do not believe that PBISN does rolling admissions. I know my application was complete the...

  23. Why no nursing love from Grey's?

    MollyMel replied to thisgirlsanurse's topic in General Nursing

    I have noticed that! First when she was examining a deer (!?!), and I thought they would catch it, but then it happened again recently. They are doing multiple takes for a scene, why wouldn't they fix...

  24. Why no nursing love from Grey's?

    MollyMel replied to thisgirlsanurse's topic in General Nursing

    I fully recognized that the TV shows are fiction, fantasy even, but I do love House, and like Grey's, Scrubs, ER, etc. (even "Night Shift" the late night mini series spin off of General Hospital where...

    Hey CaramelP, I wrote the post you quoted last year (around this time I think). I am now finishing my first year at PBISN. I am still really happy that I took the A&P and Micro at BMCC. I think I...
