  1. Are there any books i can read to better understand Med-surg class?

    jelly221,RN replied to northmississippi's topic in General Students

    The "Straight A's" and "Made Incredibly Easy" series are good. I'm gonna get crucified for saying this I'm sure.... Wikipedia. I know, I know, people can edit it, it's unreliable, but I have yet to...

  2. Looking into medical and colorblind

    jelly221,RN replied to truckinusa's topic in General Students

    I've never heard of a school checking for that. My job does though at my annual checkup- those numbers composed of colored dots inside a circle of different colored dots. You can probably figure it...

  3. Can student administer medication without RN supervision?

    jelly221,RN replied to AnneN's topic in General Students

    I didn't think I'd have much to say on this topic... guess that's not the case. This makes me a bit nervous- the fact that you used your position in order to gain permission (not from your clinical...

  4. I would like an idea of what nursing school is going to be like

    jelly221,RN replied to clclc4444's topic in General Students

    It really depends on your program and which semester you're in. First semester, I worked 50 hrs/week and almost had a nervous breakdown from that, but I hardly ever studied. Second semester was...

  5. What do you always have in your scrub pockets?

    jelly221,RN replied to Lilbit's topic in General Students

    you're kidding right??? You might have Mary Poppins beat! I thought I was bad with 2-3 pens, highlighter, sharpie, steth, tape, kerlix, alcohol wipes, adhesive remover wipes, iv caps, EKG pads (i'm...

  6. Please help Failed Nursing Classes

    jelly221,RN replied to sweetie2525's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I completely agree. If you do make it through school (and good luck!) you'll have a very difficult time finding a job if your cover letter is written in a similar manner. You don't have to use...

  7. Taking Peds ATI on Friday, how did you do?

    jelly221,RN replied to melissa0's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Agreed with W'sMama- know developmental stages, how you would teach children at different ages, what to expect them to be able to do at different ages, and anticipatory

  8. Nanda priorities

    jelly221,RN replied to Karolyte's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    My most helpful (care plan -wise) instructor told me to look at causes and results when prioritizing dxs. If one of your dxs is causing the other (diarrhea causing deficient fluid volume) it would be...

  9. What to do after ADN program?

    jelly221,RN replied to student1234567's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Moogie- great summary! Reinforces my BSN/MSN decision too.

  10. best way to get into nursing

    jelly221,RN replied to MadameFreckles's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Your plan looks good! Those people in my program who worked as CNAs had a head start on people with no experience. It'll also open doors after you graduate for finding an RN job. As far as RN...

  11. What's def of "Nursing Student with completion of Nursing Fundamentals"?

    jelly221,RN replied to baldee's topic in General Students

    You don't have to have any book filled out or anything, just need to have completed your first semester of nursing school. Some hospitals hire you in a CNA role, and some hospitals have an actual...

  12. It's the Little Things That Make it Worthwhile...

    jelly221,RN replied to Music in My Heart's topic in General Nursing

    It's so true! I had one of those yesterday with a pt whose adult daughters were visiting and I got to do a LOT of teaching with them and give emotional support- it was so sweet of them to tell me how...

  19. Brain of a Nurse

    jelly221,RN replied to ttpurtee's topic in General Nursing

    98% of people who weren't detail oriented failed my nursing program. The 2% brown-nosed their way through by being charming about their flakiness... still irks

  20. letter to potential ER employer...please read and critique! Thanks

    jelly221,RN replied to Trilldayz,RN BSN's topic in General Nursing

    Congrats! Curious, how did another department at another hospital see your resume/cover letter? It sounds like you didn't submit it to them and they just happened upon

  21. Preceptorship

    jelly221,RN replied to mrzgirl's topic in General Nursing

    We only had the option of ICU (only one spot- a girl who worked at the hospital got it), tele, med-surg/onc, med-surg (mostly post-ops) and AOU (stepdown). These restrictions were mostly due to the...

  22. USC New Grad summer 2011?

    jelly221,RN replied to jelly221,RN's topic in California Nursing

    What units did you apply for? They say May 27th for invitations to the brunch and rejection e-mails, so I'm just trying to not think about it until then.

  23. Where can I take Microbiology and Nutrition ONLINE? Please help!

    jelly221,RN replied to veebeeG's topic in General Students

  24. Do you ever....

    jelly221,RN replied to tokmom's topic in General Nursing

    The best place to ogle is in the sauna at the gym... heat makes the veins pop right up! There's some decent looking abs in there too, if that's more your taste. Personally, I'll take the

    jelly221,RN replied to mnf4ever's topic in Nursing Career
