    Need Advice

    beth66335 replied to wlb06's topic in General Students

    Move home temporarily definitely, it is just 3 more semesters and I would never ask my parents to pay my rent if it would strain them financially, esp if they offered to let me move home. If it gets...

    I'm sorry I didn't read the post carefully, I thought you were already talking about a bed bath:p. I've never bathed a pt in a tub, or an Alzheimer's pt in a shower or tub...sorry. I agree with the pp...

    Final Exam

    beth66335 replied to melodramah's topic in General Students

    Do you have NCLEX books organized by body systems/ areas? Lots of people on here, including me use these as additional study tools all through the semester as well as for Final prep. I do it because...

    beth66335 replied to turtlesrus's topic in General Students

    I will turn 43 right after I graduate from Nursing school in 2010. I always wanted to do this and I wouldn't even consider letting age stop me...your as old as you feel! That makes me about

    I seem to know less the most

    beth66335 replied to Javeed's topic in General Students

    Once you start nursing classes get an NCLEX-RN book and do question out of it with your reading. It will help you get a grasp of how to answer question on a nursing test. That is one of the hard...

    bath time and alzheimer's

    beth66335 replied to kossaf's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    All I can suggest, since every pt is different, is don't take the gown off while you bathe her, your going to change it anyway, so get it wet if you have to. Put a bath blanket on her too if you have...

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

    beth66335 replied to whiteoleander5's topic in General Students

    Well, my is that A's or C's can't determine comfort and competence in clinical, simply because studying and taking tests is something all people who go to school do. However, most degrees aside from...

    I failed a class- should I go to Pinning?

    beth66335 replied to nursemama12's topic in General Students

    If I made your pressure rise you are too sensitive, she stated in her original post that she was very close to this class as I am to mine...and I believe I am entitled to my opinion. Sorry you can't...

    I failed a class- should I go to Pinning?

    beth66335 replied to nursemama12's topic in General Students

    I was not trying to make you mad, I was going by this sentence in your post...based on this you made it sound like you could not have made it to be pinned, but you still could have gone...no offense...

    beth66335 replied to nursemama12's topic in General Students

    It's a shame you didn't go ahead and go and just sit in the audience to support your friends, but to each his own. I am going to pinning and graduation in the Spring (my family won't be there) even...

    beth66335 replied to Vixen17's topic in General Students

    Well, I believe you can be a CNA in a hospital after you finish 1st semester. You can where I live. It is less skilled than nursing but, it allows a lot of patient interaction (actually more than you...

    100% dosage calculations?

    beth66335 replied to Coloradogrl's topic in General Students

    Usually the packaging tells you how much to dilute a drug. If it is going into an IV line a drug book will tell you that, if the drug packaging doesn't. The only standard I know of is ml, how many...

    100% dosage calculations?

    beth66335 replied to Coloradogrl's topic in General Students

    I don't know where the 10ml comes in but, 1500mg/ 750mg is 2ml. Is the 750 diluted in 10mls? You need to figure out how many mg per ml diluted and then plug those numbers into the problem I believe....

    beth66335 replied to basid786's topic in General Students

    If the OP does happen to still be checking out this thread consider this option; if you have successfully completed 3 semesters, check in your state and see if you can sit for the NCLEX-PN. Then you...

    First off just remember to go big to small like mg to mcg multiply the bigger unit of measure by 1000. To go small to big divide the small unit of measure by 1000. I write on top of my paper; B/S = x...

    If you are talking about Sparks and Taylor, that is the book our school recommended the students get....and all the teachers hate it! Some of it is okay, but on several NDs the r/t is too vague...like...
