  1. Becker College

    JillFRN posted a topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Has anyone graduated from or is anyone currently attending Becker College? Any advice?

  2. CNA disrespecting new grad.

    JillFRN posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    I have started about a month ago at a LTC facility. Everyone on day shift and evening shift were great. I get on nights and it's a whole different story. The CNA's sleep and are disrespectful! I asked...

  3. CNA disrespecting new grad.

    JillFRN replied to JillFRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I agree you can't force anyone to do anything. Then again, she should not be a CNA since doesn't want to do things within her job description. She amazingly never gives the nurses who have more time...

  4. CNA disrespecting new grad.

    JillFRN replied to JillFRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Thanks for all the answers. She was sitting in a chair reading, so no she was not busy. I feel like I don't know how to tell her without sounding like a *****! When I went back and she argued the...

  5. The Nursing Math Thread

    JillFRN replied to Tweety's topic in General Students

    Ok, I need help with a problem. My SIL asked me to help her and I am stumped. I guess this is what happens when you leave nursing school! Amoxicillin 100mg/m2 ( I think this is supposed to be mg/ml?)...

  7. Pearson Vue Trick - Does it Work Every Time? Part 2

    JillFRN replied to Silverdragon102's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The good pop up says "Our records indicate that you have recently scheduled this exam. Another registration cannot be made at this time." It left out the part about contacting the Member board. I...

  8. Pearson Vue Trick - Does it Work Every Time? Part 2

    JillFRN replied to Silverdragon102's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hi everyone, I passed my boards in June, but I did the PVT for my friend who took it today. She got the good pop-up except for the part that says please contact your Member Board. Is this something...

  9. Do I really need my BSN?

    JillFRN posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    I currently have my ADN in Nursing with a B.S. in Public Health. With all the talk I have been hearing of needing your BSN do I need to get it since I already have a B.S.? A side note, I am planning...

  10. A light at the end of the tunnel!

    JillFRN posted a topic in General Students

    I did it!! I am finally going into my last semester!! We had our final on Tuesday and they took forever to post the grades, by forever I mean 48 hours and I passed!! I can't believe it, just one more...

  11. A light at the end of the tunnel!

    JillFRN replied to JillFRN's topic in General Students

    Thank you everyone! For me it was this semester, the was just so much info all at once (we did advanced med surg and peds). So happy to almost be there, I've waited so long for

  12. Prioritizing! Help!

    JillFRN posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    We just had our midterm. I am in my senior year and I did pretty well on it. The only questions I struggled on were which pt do I see first. I tried following ABC's and that ended me up in the wrong...

  13. Prioritizing! Help!

    JillFRN replied to JillFRN's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    This seems to clear that up. I wish I could remember the other questions. I will get a book, I have Lippincott, but there are no Priority ones in there. Thanks for the

  14. Prioritizing! Help!

    JillFRN replied to JillFRN's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    well we are not allowed to keep our exams only just review them so I do not remember the questions off hand. I remember one was a 12 yr old with expiratory wheezes and then 4 month old with vomiting....

  15. CO2

    JillFRN posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Ok so quick question I know CO2 usually is about 21-33 for a venous blood draw. Is someone with a 19 an issue? If so, what would would be the possible causes in an otherwisehealthy 26 y/o pt?

  16. I've decided to blog about my experiences in nursing school from start to finish.

    JillFRN replied to lllchillylll's topic in General Students

    I think it's a great idea, just be wary of what you write. If I were to blog about my last CI not only would I never have had time to study because I would have been there venting, but she would have...

  17. I needs some advice!!

    JillFRN replied to Love840207's topic in General Students

    I am entering my last year as well and I still get nervous. NS is stressful. You are forced to learn a HUGE amount of information in such a small amount of time. I remember the first week I cried and...

  18. Does anyone else get extremely tired while reading textbooks?

    JillFRN replied to Sarah Hay's topic in General Students

    I too am like some of you guys. Within an hour sometimes I am sleeping on my books. I don't think it helps that I am laying in my comfy bed either or reading for hours at a time

  19. How do you manage to find time to workout & stay fit during nursing school?

    JillFRN replied to lindsay176's topic in General Students

    Swimming is such a great exercise and I never find time to do it, even in the summer! It is very relaxing, so relaxing, I'd probably fall asleep on my books afterwards!

  20. How do you manage to find time to workout & stay fit during nursing school?

    JillFRN replied to lindsay176's topic in General Students

    Having lost that weight you know you can avoid those tempting unhealthy foods, just have a healthy alternative with you. I have lso weight during NS not gained. Make it a priority to make smart...

  21. How do you manage to find time to workout & stay fit during nursing school?

    JillFRN replied to lindsay176's topic in General Students

    I find that I have to work out in some form whether it be running or weight lifting or yoga to keep my sanity. I am going into my third semester and I think you need to find something that relieves...

  22. Pre-Reading?

    JillFRN replied to TaraRae123's topic in General Students

    I am going into my last year and with the syllabus, I have read about 10 chapters or so. I read about one a week. I did it for my piece of mind. I didn't overexert myself, do I think it was necessary,...

  23. Freaking Out

    JillFRN replied to kfarinato's topic in General Students

    I feel like I am in your same boat. I am entering my final year and I feel like I hardly know anything. Sometimes I feel like the simplest things I should remember, I have to look up again to refresh...

  24. Abusive and Cruel Clinical Instructors: Why??

    JillFRN replied to sallber's topic in General Students

    My last CI was a nightmare for all of us but one student. Everything we did she picked apart. Pre-conference she came in slammed down her papers and basically told us how crappy we were. I am not sure...

  25. What do you use when you walk in a room?

    JillFRN posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Ok, so sometimes I feel like there are so many things to remember, but what are the things you look at when you walk into a patient's room? Are there any little checklists you can have that are...
