  1. Ambien "holiday" substitute??

    cmonkey replied to 444bkids's topic in General Nursing

    My ambien holiday is falling asleep with my pharm book on my chest. Maybe your facility could hand out

  2. Assessing your cohort

    cmonkey posted a topic in General Students

    I've been watching my fellow students with interest these last two weeks. I think I can already spot those who won't be here second semester, the ones to study with, the ones to avoid, etc. I like to...

  3. So you sick yet?

    cmonkey replied to puravidaLV's topic in General Students

    One kid with a fever yesterday, all three with copious nasal secretions, as we say now. I'm washing my hands like a thousand times a day hoping to avoid it, but it's probably too late. So early to bed...

  4. what mental health problems/risks does this patient have?

    cmonkey replied to kcvo's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Is there a dx for effective

  5. Fundamentals test

    cmonkey replied to cmonkey's topic in General Students

    Isn't it funny the different orders classes go in? We haven't even covered that

  6. Death of a great professor!

    cmonkey replied to CrunchyMama's topic in General Students

    So sorry. It's hard to have someone who is even a peripheral part of your life die, especially like that. If you can go to the memorial, I think it would be good for you and wonderful for his family....

  7. Does anyone else feel like their program starts off slow?

    cmonkey replied to jennafezz's topic in General Students

    We do skills for five weeks, then go to a swing bed facility. We are only allowed to do assessments, basic care (bed baths, foot care, etc.), and med passes this semester, I think. I'm trying not to...

  8. Sketchers for clinicals?

    cmonkey replied to VVCN2012's topic in General Students

    I got the knock-offs at K-Mart and I'm lovin' 'em. Super comfy, and I wore them for a full day of canning a few weeks ago with no problems. In fact, my back feels better after a day in them than my...

  9. Does anyone get their books unbound?

    cmonkey replied to my3suns's topic in General Students

    duh,

  10. Does anyone get their books unbound?

    cmonkey replied to my3suns's topic in General Students

    I'm a book whore, and have texts from my early days of CC, so I totally get keeping them. But I am LOVING my rebound books. I just grab the units we're on, the TOC, index, and appendix sections, and...

  11. Does anyone get their books unbound?

    cmonkey replied to my3suns's topic in General Students

    I did this too, but had them rebound by section/unit, so I can just haul that in and not have to have an extra folder. It is teh

  12. No phones at clinical

    cmonkey posted a topic in General Students

    Bummer, I loaded epocrates, skyscape, etc., on my phone, and because it has a camera (hard to find a phone w/o one), I can't use it in clinicals. I wonder if I taped over it or something... I sure...

  13. Rolling bag for laptop and all of those thick heavy books

    cmonkey replied to lmg777's topic in General Students

    I could be happier about the lid, but I think bungee cords will take care of that. I think because the folding sides don't stay rigid, the lid can easily come off. Price to pay for super collapse, I...

  14. No phones at clinical

    cmonkey replied to cmonkey's topic in General Students

    Just to be clear: I was not discussing trying to stay connected with anyone. I can and do turn my phone OFF during class. I even leave the house without it. I wanted to vent about the fact that for...

  15. No phones at clinical

    cmonkey replied to cmonkey's topic in General Students

    OUR COURSE does not preclude "assistive devices." The clinical site does. And I know for a fact that docs use them because I used to work there. Look, we disagree. That's fine. But I'm not backing...

  16. Crazy Organization Lately Anyone?

    cmonkey replied to kk83's topic in General Students

    I've already told my friends that we can't have study groups here because I'll spend all my time cleaning. Once the kids are in school (next week! ), I'll be able to leave in the morning and stay at...

  17. Crazy Organization Lately Anyone?

    cmonkey replied to kk83's topic in General Students

    Why do you think we're doing it now??

  18. Rolling bag for laptop and all of those thick heavy books

    cmonkey replied to lmg777's topic in General Students

    I got a collapsable cube at Office Max. 18x18x18", with a lid and telescoping handle. It holds up to 80 lb. I've gotten a lot of comments so far, and I've been happy with it. Not overly sturdy, that's...

  19. No phones at clinical

    cmonkey replied to cmonkey's topic in General Students

    Remember that people probably felt this way about calculators. I'm sure some still do. But I'm going to assume that even "good" nurses are allowed and even encouraged to use them when doing dosage...

  20. No phones at clinical

    cmonkey replied to cmonkey's topic in General Students

    Wow, no, it had never occured to me that it was possible to find information before computers. I'm 41. I know how to look things up. I also know that my time is limited as is my knowledge. Anything I...

  21. SO how was your first day of nursing school?

    cmonkey replied to cjungen's topic in General Students

    We spent SIX HOURS on the syllabus for clinical practice. SIX. HOURS. And B), I'm taking a six-hour

  22. First day of nursing School *unleashed* post yours

    cmonkey replied to 9livesRN's topic in General Students

    We went over syllabi (which were wrong for two classes, great start), checked out the skillz lab, lunch, home. Not much to speak of. More syllabi tomorrow, and an actual class session, I think we're...

  23. SO how was your first day of nursing school?

    cmonkey replied to cjungen's topic in General Students

    Meh. My CI is going to be ossim, the teachers I have for some other classes, not so much. I'll deal, but it'll

  24. Good luck today

    cmonkey replied to Kaychell's topic in General Students

    I start at 0830. Just enough time to chug my joe and send the kids to Grammy's for the day. God bless you, Grammy! I may be switching from an online to in-class section, which means I'm on campus for...

  25. Why does Albuterol work better in relieving bronchitis and emphysema than asthma?
