  1. ATI Pharmacology

    intuition replied to xc31's topic in General Students

    I read the ATI book they provided with the class, and so far I have been passing my tests in the ATI pharmacology. I also do the critical thinking flow sheet from Daytonite, which helps me put the...

  2. Pharmacology

    intuition replied to chocha003's topic in General Students

    I know this may not help you much, but I found that when I applied the drugs to a disease that it was used for, it really helped me understand the drug. Our teacher keeps stressing it isn't about...

    intuition replied to Sl1011's topic in General Students

    I work 2- twelve hour shifts a week in an Emergency Room as a nurse tech, with no study time availability while at work. Like previous posters have said, it is really hard. I, too, have 2 children...

  5. Figuring out IV drip rates

    intuition replied to RedSox33RN's topic in General Students

    I don't know 100%, if this is right, but is it 133 ml/hr. The formula I used was the following: amount in bag multiplied by 60 min. divided by amount of infusion time in minutes. Please let me know...

  6. I'm so new to this.

    intuition replied to tripletrouble03's topic in General Students

    Make sure you try and take as much of the sciences and maths as possible while you are in high school. If you do this, it will save you some time when going into college, depending on which type of...

  8. Do you have to be really good in science to go into nursing??

    intuition replied to notenufshoes's topic in General Students

    Yes, I actually found out that I was better at science, than I realized. Just make sure to use alternative books to try and understand a concept, if you don't understand it from the book the teacher...

    intuition replied to brittney140's topic in General Students

    intuition replied to Megsd's topic in General Students

    When you palpate your husband's hands and feet veins. Can gross out a whole bible study in a matter of minutes, by just describing what you did in clinical's that day. You can't watch the shows you...

    Thank you so much for all your replies and support, the Lord knows I need it right now. I will look into test taking success books, and see what I can get out of them. I just hope I make it through...

  15. ATI Testing!!!!

    intuition replied to clvjackson's topic in General Students

    Does your wife know all the little statistical tricks that goes along with this type of test? For example, when you don't absolutely know the answer to questions, always answer the same answer for...

  16. How does your school work??

    intuition replied to newbie08's topic in General Students

    In my school, we had to do the skills check-offs before we could get into clinicals. The more complicated one's are saved for later semesters. They want to make sure you are competent to do the...

  17. Are you tired yet?

    intuition replied to MedicalNerd's topic in General Students

    Yes, I think they should list "has to be able to operate on a minimal amount of sleep," as a requirement to get into nursing school:chuckle. I am in my 3rd semester, and in my 2nd week of classes,...

    intuition replied to greysanatomyfan's topic in General Students

    I make sure to set aside one day, as our "family" day. No studying, working, or talking to classmates on the phone is allowed. If I catch myself starting to think about school, I stop myself:p. I...

  20. sponge betty scrub pants

    intuition replied to chickapea's topic in General Students

    I guess if I had to do start all over again, and knew I had some time to study beforehand, I think I would really focus in on an A&P book. I know that it isn't exactly nursing, but as I go...

  21. Wanting to go to school for RN

    intuition replied to thequestionguy007's topic in General Students

    My school did require we have certain immunizations done, or proof of them being done, before we could enter into the clinical part. A lot of people in my cohort, went to a walk-in type clinic, to...

  22. trouble converting to ns study

    intuition replied to michigansstudent's topic in General Students

    I started out the same way you did, I ended up dropping the writing of the notes. I pre-read, read the chapter again, and did the questions at the end of each chapter and in the c.d.'s. I also went...

  23. Nursing School: Self-Taught?

    intuition replied to Blove86's topic in General Students

    The way our school handles it, is they will go through the skill one time, and then you have to practice on your own time, before you check off. As for lectures, our teachers also pretty much just...

  24. ATI Testing!!!!

    intuition replied to clvjackson's topic in General Students

  25. ATI Testing!!!!

    intuition replied to clvjackson's topic in General Students

    Yes, I think that is why our school does it. I think it is their way to ensure they only have the people who will be able to pass the NCLEX, make it through. Which I don't agree with, some people...
