  1. Graduation requirement changes without notice

    kgh31386 replied to Morrissh6's topic in General Students

    Yes they can. Be more specific when you say a lot harder and tougher? My school added certain CPE's that needed to be passed that previous classes hadn't done. For example, we took an entire class on...

  2. Listen up future Nurses. I have some news...

    kgh31386 replied to Nurse-One's topic in General Students

    My 2 cents on the issue. There's a shortage depending on where you are and how hard you look. The reason that this is extra dramatic in nursing is because well, a LOT of nursing students are VERY...

  5. Can anyone explain the logic behind nursing exam questions?

    kgh31386 replied to Angitia's topic in General Students

    What you said is clear, so don't tell me what I do or don't understand. I graduated this last year actually. You say that they cloud it with irrelevant information. Well hell, they do it on purpose....

  6. Can anyone explain the logic behind nursing exam questions?

    kgh31386 replied to Angitia's topic in General Students

    I smell a locked thread coming. But before it gets locked...let me chime in. Let's boast myself here. I graduated from a private school and got a full ride to college as a Chemistry major. I had...

  8. priority nursing questions

    kgh31386 replied to Amber0515's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    And you're right...sterile gloves won't fix the problem. BUT based on the options given(which aren't always gonna be the best or most ideal options in everyone's mind), gloves would just make sense to...

    kgh31386 replied to Amber0515's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Lol that mom's a trooper if an earthquake just broke the room in half. But in that case, test question wise...real world wise as well. Fix the problem. And with the 4 options given, it's pretty easy...

  10. NG tube feeding

    kgh31386 replied to UumiNurseX's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    this is a "decent"..repeat decent demonstration. There are some things I do differently when I give my meds to patients, but it's a start.

  11. the reason we have to give so many presentations...

    kgh31386 replied to cheezwhiz's topic in General Students

    It helps you to become more competent in certain areas. It also helps you to enlighten your classmates on different topics...each different presentation will share different information that people...

  12. How did the TEAS explode into what it is?

    kgh31386 posted a topic in General Students

    When I started nursing school in 2008, we took the TEAS the first week of school. We had no clue what it was or anything, and it was just like an 8th grade level or high school level test. Sort of...

  14. Loewenberg School of nursing- university of memphis

    kgh31386 replied to koster22's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    Good luck to all of you. I graduated from Lowenberg not long ago. They say they require a 2.7 minimum, but they draw the cutoff line for GPA depending on how many people apply. If they have 100's...

  15. IV pump help---all help appreciated

    kgh31386 replied to ACNP 2B S1S2RRR's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Well if it's occluded, I usually check to make sure they aren't laying on the tubing or that it isn't kinked somewhere. If all that looks good, check the IV site itself to make sure the IV is still...

  16. Clumps of fat in blood??

    kgh31386 replied to Mndy657's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I work with a lot of cardiac and diabetic patients myself, and yes definitely I've seen the fat and cholesterol in the blood. But when it's in the body it's not really "clumped" like that. If you draw...

  17. Why is Nursing School So Flawed?

    kgh31386 replied to TCASII's topic in General Students

    I'll tell you from experience because I deal with these types of patients. The call light is NOT the way to go. What will end up happening is they lay on that button 24/7. And when people can't or...

  18. What is YOUR opinion on nursing school exams?

    kgh31386 replied to Frazzled_One's topic in General Students

    First I want to address the sentence from the OP "they put all this useless crap in lecture that doesn't show up on tests". Do you honestly think that the only thing you need to know is what shows up...

  19. Why is Nursing School So Flawed?

    kgh31386 replied to TCASII's topic in General Students

    Not necessarily true. When you get questions that say what's the priority teaching, or priority intervention...they will all be right sometimes. And it has not one thing to do with the order or number...

  20. Why is Nursing School So Flawed?

    kgh31386 replied to TCASII's topic in General Students

    Lol go peak into the NCLEX forum and see the thousands of threads about conflicting books and sources, and how books say the opposite of what is taught in school. Saunders will say the opposite of...

  21. Why is Nursing School So Flawed?

    kgh31386 replied to TCASII's topic in General Students

    And to the OP...in the real world, on the NCLEX, and in school, there will always be more than one right answer. And based on the choices given, you might not see the answer you want, but take what...

  22. Why is Nursing School So Flawed?

    kgh31386 replied to TCASII's topic in General Students

    To 2ndyearstudent, that's a pretty offensive thing to say that these nurses aren't good teachers, especially since a LOT of instructors are on this site. While some are better than others, they got an...

  23. What Have I Gotten Myself Into???? Advice?

    kgh31386 replied to HappyCat0325's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    My advice is to find out where the teacher tests from. Either find out from students in the next semester or ask the teacher what they like to focus on. Teachers will be honest with you about whether...

    kgh31386 replied to EMTtoGN10's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I honestly didn't study pharm for my test. I had heard the same thing you did...that no one recognized the drugs on their test. I figured there was no point in studying pharm then. But when I took my...
