  1. Sure it's been asked before, but how do you answer when you have NO clue?

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

    I keep hearing a lot of "blindly guessing"..and that doesn't seem too "fair" I guess. Because if a lot of people guess their way to passing the test, and some people who truly know information...

  3. NCLEX APRIL 2010

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

    I don't think it is really a "new" test. I think they just basically are changing the amount of questions from each section. Just changing the focus of it kind of. It's not like they are making it...

  5. Question about ATI, Saunders, and Kaplan...strange thing happening

    kgh31386 posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Ok I'm starting my final semester of my BSN program. I've never done poorly in any classes, no C's even. In the med surg classes where we lose about half the class, I do well. But we take an ATI each...

  7. stuck on this med surg problem, help please

    kgh31386 replied to metsGirl's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Well I woulda put C and D too. But I'm just guessing the answer is only D... Because of the rationale. I'm sure the sternum won't come apart, but the skin might dehisce. Also it never mentioned...

    kgh31386 replied to sprintin08's topic in General Students

  10. feeding tube question!!

    kgh31386 replied to sprintin08's topic in General Students

    It definitely has to do with the crushing of the pill. The only way you get pills down a PEG or NGT is to crush them. If I remember correctly, the cardizem pills under 120mg are immediate release...

  11. In nursing school clinical did you experience discrimination / bias from instructor?

    kgh31386 replied to biltz's topic in Male Nursing Students

    That's just sad to hear because all of the nurses I've ever had in clinical, told my teachers how I stood out and knew my stuff... And showed pride in what I'm doing. The nurses I work with as an...

  15. Finished my first week, took my first exam, got an 80, how bad is that??

    kgh31386 replied to avidhunter3's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    An 80 isn't bad if you know your mistakes. But it can be bad if you study 2 weeks and swear you know it all, but get an 80 when the failing cutoff is a 78. Sounds like you'll do better next time. So...

  16. How much will the nursing program affect my sports watching?

    kgh31386 replied to ljonm's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Let's put it this way. I'm starting the final semester of my BSN next week... Graduating in May, and my xbox360 saw more play time during the last 4 semesters than any other time. Don't listen when...

  19. Finished my first week, took my first exam, got an 80, how bad is that??

    kgh31386 replied to avidhunter3's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I don't really agree with that first part. A lot of people make a LOT of A's in nursing school, some make straight A's even. A passing score isn't good to some people...do NOT just aim for the bare...

  20. Are there any scholarships or grants aside from FAFSA??

    kgh31386 replied to idlasjm's topic in General Students

    Go ask the receptionist in your nursing school about nursing specific scholarships. My school doesn't announce it, but they put applications out on the desk. You apply and they send your application...

  24. Please help with this math!!

    kgh31386 replied to Starfish1's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    That's a little strange. Usually when you have any math question, they tell you what units they're looking for. It doesn't make sense that your teacher isn't giving a rationale of why you aren't...
