  1. Ever had a nursing instructor hate you?

    kgh31386 replied to bustthewave's topic in General Students

    This would be an example of "I think I know how to read everyone around me". Sure some instructors are better than others, but really? Jealous because you're more educated? Arrogance makes everyone...

  2. Ever had a nursing instructor hate you?

    kgh31386 replied to bustthewave's topic in General Students

    This, I'm not so sure about lol. Smart students intimidate insecure teachers? I would think if a teacher is insecure, they'd be happy to have some smart students who may be able to teach their...

  4. test question!

    kgh31386 replied to BA_anthropology's topic in General Students

    My question to CuriousMe, would you ever intervene before assessing? What if you find your patients guts hanging out because their wound split open, would you get their vitals first

  5. test question!

    kgh31386 replied to BA_anthropology's topic in General Students

    That's because that's from the Hurst review...so yeah it might not agree with what was taught in school. Which is also why I say that calling the doctor is a more popular answer with some of the most...

  6. test question!

    kgh31386 replied to BA_anthropology's topic in General Students

    I took the thing, 75 questions in under an hour. Not one question was more complex than a nursing school test question. Even the SATA were straight forward...what I said, and what CCL RN said are both...

  7. test question!

    kgh31386 replied to BA_anthropology's topic in General Students

    Now let me clarify before CuriousMe takes anything else the wrong way. I never said I WOULD NOT assess my patient or have any info for the doctor when I called. I said multiple times I'd have someone...

  8. test question!

    kgh31386 replied to BA_anthropology's topic in General Students

    Takes me about 47 minutes, maybe 46 on a good day. I asked him a question to clarify

  9. test question!

    kgh31386 replied to BA_anthropology's topic in General Students

    Which? Callin the doc without vitals, or getting vitals while your patient dies a little

  10. test question!

    kgh31386 replied to BA_anthropology's topic in General Students

    Yes then, answer to the actual question is vital signs as we

  11. remove clotts from iv line

    kgh31386 replied to sunlight85's topic in General Students

    That's not very clear. But your line won't "clot" that fast if something is infusing. If you can push it, it's not clotted. If blood backs up into the tubing because they lower the bag or something,...

  12. test question!

    kgh31386 replied to BA_anthropology's topic in General Students

    I never said YOU said anything. The "you" I mention is a generalized you, not you. I also never said that the question the OP posted was a bad question. I agreed with the way it was worded, and the...

  13. test question!

    kgh31386 replied to BA_anthropology's topic in General Students

    It's more than just the basics though. That's why I said it depends on how it's worded. Once you start doing NCLEX review questions and you run into questions like this..someone has a bloody...

  14. test question!

    kgh31386 replied to BA_anthropology's topic in General Students

    I can see it because how is taking vitals gonna fix the problem? While you got get your stuff to get the vitals, sit there getting the vitals, etc..patient is bleeding and/or dying. It depends on how...

  15. Anybody NOT feel like it's taking over?

    kgh31386 replied to OBplease's topic in General Students

    I know, that's why I mentioned how my teachers made their podcasts and stuff...I should add for the OP, see how your teachers are first. I'm in grad school now and yeah we gotta read for this one...

  16. Anybody NOT feel like it's taking over?

    kgh31386 replied to OBplease's topic in General Students

    Doing all the reading will take over your life lol. I hardly cracked a book either. My teachers had great powerpoints and the syllabus was good too. Not to mention if you take good notes or understand...

  17. test question!

    kgh31386 replied to BA_anthropology's topic in General Students

    With the post-op patients I get in real life, you don't wanna take off a surgical dressing unless the MD says so. If it's bleeding and actually soaking through the dressing, just re-inforce it(don't...

  18. I almost got kicked out of my program from ONE mistake!

    kgh31386 replied to Spikey9001's topic in General Students

    That's not a good thing...good thing the instructor saw you do it too. Because if you claim you gave the med, how does the patient know what it is you gave them? You could have pulled the old...

  19. Clinical Instructor Put Me On the Spot and Intimidating Me - How to Deal?

    kgh31386 replied to live&love&heal's topic in General Students

    What's the difference between an admission assessment and a regular one? Shouldn't you cover the same body systems and what not in each? I think it's fair and a good thing that they are holding you to...

  20. Fail or withdraw nursing school

    kgh31386 replied to deetrain's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Well if you still have the option to withdraw, you must be early in the semester. But chances are if you know you're failing you're past the drop deadline...which means you can no longer withdraw....

  21. Anyone take the Hurst Review for NCLEX? Is it worth the money?

    kgh31386 replied to myty23's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    My honest response is this...it's good for some, and not as good for others. I took it was because my work paid me back in full for the cost of the program plus 32 hours(8 hours over 4 days) at my...

  22. BS!

    kgh31386 replied to rngreenhorn's topic in General Students

    Some people love to complain when they fail or struggle. Some of them are in it for the wrong reasons and will never be happy with it. If they graduate, they'll join the numerous threads over in the...

    kgh31386 replied to ash2987's topic in General Students

    To be frank....that suuuuuuucks. The things you listed were check offs for us both in skills and in clinical by the 2nd semester. We were doin trach suctioning, central line things, all the fun kinds...

    kgh31386 replied to rngreenhorn's topic in General Students

    frustration...i know we aren't the grammar police, but your "corriculum" may be the problem. look for a new curriculum. and if it makes you that mad, then
