  3. tips for tests...my first one is coming up!

    myty23 replied to courtlane143's topic in General Students

    Get a good NCLEX book with practice questions (fundamentals success is good for 1st semester). After you've read and studied your lecture notes, practice lots of questions on the subjects that your...

  4. Which nursing assessment takes priority?

    myty23 replied to wannabmidwife's topic in General Students

    I agree with the above poster. I have however come across a question on a test once where you had pulse of 52 and BP of 84/42 and in this case the BP was of more priority than the pulse, since it was...

  5. Which nursing diagnosis is most important?

    myty23 replied to RN_Pink's topic in General Students

    Maybe your right. In that case, yes definitely the cardiac output would be

  6. Which nursing diagnosis is most important?

    myty23 replied to RN_Pink's topic in General Students

    Yes, but airway/breathing trumps circulation....I'm surprised the OP didn't even address the shortness of breath at all. It doesn't really seem that she has put all the pieces together. No offense...

  7. Which nursing diagnosis is most important?

    myty23 replied to RN_Pink's topic in General Students

    He was in fluid overload. Did he have pulmonary edema from the fluid overload? You said he was short of breath, was this related to the fluid overload also? I'd say probably something with...

  8. Is it even worth it?

    myty23 replied to Awesomepossum's topic in General Students

    YES! Only 2 classes to go??? You'd be crazy to quit now!! Force yourself to be motivated, it may be more difficult than it used to be to get a job, but that won't last forever. My husband went to the...

  9. Pretty sure I'm the only nursing student ever

    myty23 replied to HCollier's topic in General Students

    CBsMommy, it was a reply to the OP. The OP said he has only been in for 2 days and loves the instructor etc. That's why I assumed he hasn't started clinicals yet. No it is not a stretch to love...

  10. Pretty sure I'm the only nursing student ever

    myty23 replied to HCollier's topic in General Students

    Are you sure you and your immature classmates don't belong in highschool? Sad to think somebody with such an immature and judgemental attitude like yours wants to be a nurse and take care of people...

  11. Practice question that doesn't seem right.

    myty23 replied to dudette10's topic in General Students

    I chose albuterol too, but thinking about it and reading the rationale by shortnorthstudent it makes sense that you would give O2

  13. Pretty sure I'm the only nursing student ever

    myty23 replied to HCollier's topic in General Students

    I love the med/surg in class. Learning the diseases and disorders, etc....but a med/surg floor in clinicals??? Not so much. I want to work med/surg though starting out to get the experience, but I...

  14. Ready to give up my nursing dream............hard times

    myty23 replied to jewelspassion's topic in General Students

    Jewels, I have been working toward/dreaming about becoming a nurse since I graduated highschool 10 years ago. I got married really young though, have two kids, depend on 2 incomes to pay the bills...

  15. Any tips for help with learning critical care

    myty23 replied to Holland4500's topic in General Students

    Well at this point I'm concerned about the test in class not the NCLEX. One of the most effective study tools for me on each individual test is practicing questions from the NCLEX books on whatever...

  16. Any tips for help with learning critical care

    myty23 replied to Holland4500's topic in General Students

    I've been wondering the same thing. I'm in my last semester also and we are doing critical care and advanced hemodynamic monitoring, etc. I usually do hundreds of NCLEX questions before each test, but...

  17. failed foundations of nursing

    myty23 replied to snowybee's topic in General Students

    escape, I think she was probably typing from a phone. It looks like text/speak. I agree though, it is hard to follow when people type and abbreviate like that, but I doubt it's because she doesn't...

  18. What would you like more training on?

    myty23 replied to HayleyHunter's topic in General Students

    More hands on training...I don't think there is anything in the books or lectures that I need more time on, but I don't think my school gives us enough hands on time learning skills. We do have...

    myty23 replied to EMEddie's topic in General Students

    great book, definitely get it! The tips are great, you can read them before starting school, but if you've already started, it's not too late to read them. But the practice questions were the most...

    myty23 replied to myty23's topic in General Students

  22. Pensacola Junior College?

    myty23 posted a topic in Florida Nursing

    I just read a post from 2004 about PJC which said some really bad/scary things about the nursing program there. They just got NLNAC accredited and I was wondering if anybody has gone through the...
