  1. Tell me if you think this is fair.

    kgh31386 replied to SPN-RC's topic in General Students

    What do you mean by "flipping out"? And what was your relationship with the instructor prior to that day? Had you had any issues or problems with each other prior to that? Ever been late? Messed

  2. What in the drug calculation is this???

    kgh31386 replied to UumiNurseX's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    The only time you would divide your original problem by 3 is like they said...if it asked per DOSE and clearly stated the patient is getting it Q8H or TID. But since it just said for the whole day,...

  3. Maslow's First Level, sex?

    kgh31386 replied to MEDICJOHN's topic in General Students

    I'm going to go with sex is there not in the sense of it being individual pleasure really...but it's there in the sense of procreation. Without sex, we wouldn't be sitting here talking about it....

  6. Anyone else hate group projects?

    kgh31386 replied to citylights89's topic in General Students

    We always got to do evaluations that would affect the person's grade. The person that we all marked down got a much lower grade..not nearly as low as it would have been if people didn't feel sorry and...

  7. Anyone else hate group projects?

    kgh31386 replied to citylights89's topic in General Students

    If I were you, I would have had my part done despite them saying no. That way you would have had your time you need and not been rushed. I've had a bad experience with someone once. story below I...

  8. Questions enough for NCLEX

    kgh31386 replied to Ogechi's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It all depends on the person. Some folks need to practice nothing but questions, some need a strong content review. No one can tell you how you will feel, or should feel, or what YOU need to study....

  9. how well did your clinicals prepare you?

    kgh31386 replied to nedlloyd's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You never did a head to toe? We had to get checked off on that not only in med/surg, but in our advanced med/surg(ICU). We also did foley's in the hospital, everyone did IV's, and if there were none...

  10. how well did your clinicals prepare you?

    kgh31386 replied to nedlloyd's topic in First Year After Licensure

    My school prepared us very well. We had great teachers that us involved in everything going on with the patient. Every skill we learned in skills lab, they made sure we did them on a real patient even...

  11. Help! How do I make it through Nursing school even though I hate it?!

    kgh31386 replied to steven007's topic in General Students

    And FYI..don't assume someone is in renal failure based on those little symptoms. They may have a post renal blockage keeping them from peeing, their prostate might be enlarged, they may have some...

  12. Help! How do I make it through Nursing school even though I hate it?!

    kgh31386 replied to steven007's topic in General Students

    Even if you're a clinical director, CNO, or any kind of executive..you are still a nurse and in certain cases, you might have to touch or talk to a patient. What are you going to do if a patient codes...

  13. Help with answering an NCLEX question!!

    kgh31386 replied to eboog20's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You send home the MOST stable and ambulatory patient. If it were asking of these patients involved in the disaster, who do you see first? Then the people who are dead or will most likely die..you do...

  14. Can't be happy with my grades

    kgh31386 replied to pockunit's topic in General Students

    There's nothing to defend myself against. And nothing I said was related to the OP because they haven't even made a C. Squirly implied that's who and what I was talking about. And based on what you...

  15. Tempers, bullies, and self created chaos!!

    kgh31386 replied to squirly's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Exactly, so if your classmates have an opinion..don't be upset. And don't look down on what everyone else is doing, because you seem to be doing a lot of what you look down on. Careful or you'll be...

  16. Tempers, bullies, and self created chaos!!

    kgh31386 replied to squirly's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I read your response to my other post. And this one paints a clear picture. Don't be so quick to judge everyone around you. Just because someone is late doesn't mean it was intentional. They might...

  17. Can't be happy with my grades

    kgh31386 replied to pockunit's topic in General Students

    hmmmm how was I snarky, eating anyone, or picking on someone? I wasn't even addressing the OP. If you read what they said, they haven't made a C. It's a true statement, C=you earned a C, that's...

  18. Haven't taken a class yet and I am starting to freak.....

    kgh31386 replied to Scrub2Nurse's topic in General Students

    Some of the problems are as simple as this..you have a 5mg pill, the order says you need a dose of 10mg, how many pills do you give? Sure they get longer with some more conversions, but just set them...

  19. Can't be happy with my grades

    kgh31386 replied to pockunit's topic in General Students

    I'm pretty sure I knew they were talking about nursing school, and on paper when you have a grading scale of A, B, C, F..a C is bare minimum is it not? Yes you can pass with C's, but I'm talking about...

  20. Positive pressure ventilation

    kgh31386 replied to Nurse2Bforever's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Well with an intrapulmonary shunt, blood flows to the lungs as it should, but it doesn't pick up Oxygen because your aveoli aren't functioning properly(maybe you got some atelectasis). Have you guys...

  21. Understanding Acute Respiratory Failure

    kgh31386 replied to Nurse2Bforever's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  22. Haven't taken a class yet and I am starting to freak.....

    kgh31386 replied to Scrub2Nurse's topic in General Students

    Don't sweat it...the Math is easy. Plus some schools have pass/fail math

  23. Can't be happy with my grades

    kgh31386 replied to pockunit's topic in General Students

    2 things...C does NOT equal RN at all. A C=a C amount or bare minimum amount of competency. Especially considering you go straight from C to F..no C- or D+ anymore, just F. Second, why would you not...

  24. How did I get an A in med/surg and a C in OB??

    kgh31386 replied to inProgress's topic in General Students

    It's possible in so many ways lol. Some in my school failed med/surg and passed OB with no problem. Some people passed med/surg and failed Peds and OB. And 99% of the people who failed peds and OB...

  25. Full time work and NS: can it be done?
