They are starting this for us. In our LAST semester. Several students may have to QUIT due to daycare issues. They just do not have anyone who will watch their children until 11 pm, then come back and watch them at 8 am (lecture). I would seriuos...

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO CAN'T USE THE LINK: For hospitals, dirty hands still a danger Infections: Although the importance of washing was discovered more than 100 years ago, busy health care workers often forget to scrub. ------------------------------...

My thoughts: HOW DID THEY ACTUALLY THINK OF THESE THINGS? Gosh thar honey, kid is teething poor mite. How 'bout you try some of them thar brains from that squirrel I just shot?

February 17th. We get a LONG break because they have an intersession. But, all my classes are done except the final nursing courses... grad app is in and approved, just the 14.5 units next semester!

What about the Federal law that gives you the time off for sick / adoption / childbirth and guarantees hire back? Of course, no pay is mandated during this time unless your employer offers it.

Thus, my post to you previously: Study for it like the NCLEX!

I would imagine that it would matter WHAT you got kicked out for~ drugs, cheating, patient safety? Or was it just failing to make the grades?

I have one of these also. A few of the other student's seem to like it too, though they just borrow mine. I have only had the cheapo generic rappaport and there is no comparison for the sound!

In Arizona you can, in California you cannot.

The way I understood it, the shot is not live but the nasal is. Those poor parents! It is hard enough on them without this ban on visiting. to their doc for not reading up on this!

HOW CAN YOU DISCUSS HESI QUESTIONS ON A PUBLIC BB AFTER YOU SIGNED A CONFIDENTIALITY STATEMENT in which you agreed to NOT discuss these questions? HELLO!!! That would get us booted out of the program immediately. If you can't even keep a test's que...

You probably have the Fujian which isn't covered by the shot. I don't know if what I have is the flu or not, because I didn't bother going to the doc for a viral illness. Not much the docs can do for that except tell me what I already know - fluids...

Think of your HESI's like NCLEX tests. They are formatted the same, so just study as if you were studying for the NCLEX. I used an NCLEX review book, and have consistently scored 99.99% on my hesi's. There was only one section I did not, and that...

:balloons: CONGORATS!!! I wish I was there with you, I still have one semester left

This is my last week in school. What did my RN instructor say to me because I have been sick for 8 days (I called out of a clinical in the hospital, but attended lecture and testing as I would FAIL had I NOT): Did you go to the doctor yet? My answe...

That sounds like a plan! At least you KNOW what the problem area is and have taken steps to fix it. :) You may want to consider getting a NCLEX book with questions. The type of tests in nursing are different than any other, the "critical thinking" ...

Even if you know gloves come in a kit (for instance you are starting a foley) BRING an extra pair of sterile gloves in YOUR size.

I know in our program the students that took classes IN ADDITION to nursing classes usually either failed or ended up dropping. You may want to consider finishing as many non-nursing courses as you can PRIOR to continuing with the nursing courses. ...

We are doing sweatshirts with the college logo on the front, and fake "nursing diagnoses" for students on the back. Example: social isolation related to excessive head in book syndrome I just made that one up, can't recall what we really chose, bu...

All I know about this is that I go to school in CA. We are required to have a set amount of hours in clinicals in order to apply to take the NCLEX. If we miss more than one clinical, and it is not made up, we fail the semester and must retake the e...

I am in California. We signed consents allowing other students to do this to us. State law has nothing to do with it. First we had to do the paper test, then we did the computer simulator, then we did the fake arm... and then we IV'd a fellow stude...

The rational given us for doing injections (saline) into each other, and starting IV's on each other prior to doing this on patients was: then you can honestly tell the patient it is not your first time. They didn't really expect us to be perfect, j...

Our school dictates what is needed, so you may want to wait until they send their guidelines. First semester the instructor's were really picky about the uniform. Until you KNOW what they specify, don't buy!

OOPS! I forgot all about the HESI exam!!! Add that to the list for Monday I think...

I so agree! Last Monday I had to pass meds on the floor, so was in the hospital Sunday night reviewing pt charts and gathering info so I could spend another 5 hours studying drugs. Then after that, I have to write a report on giving the Meds. Tuesd...
