  2. I thought I was going to die.

    There was no conflict until she called me and said "Wheres your careplan?" There had been no signs that she wasnt following the syllabus. So apparently if this happened, I cannot be a functional &...
  3. I thought I was going to die.

    why is it my failure? if everyone else is saying "no its not due till the 31st", everyone else believes that they are handing it in early. they could have just as easily done the same thing, because...
  4. I thought I was going to die.

    It did sound odd to me during the week, but I also know that no one said "Omg the careplan is due this friday", which is most likely what would have been said if it were due this Friday. I did call up...
  5. I thought I was going to die.

    If she said to me "You fail bc you didnt hand it in today", then I would have pursued that. But shes not failing me, shes just ****** that its "LATE"... and it makes me look like an incompetent...
  6. Having a really hard time during my first semester

  8. Discussing Grades with Other Students

    Its so very true. Ive seen how backstabbing other nursing students can be, I stay far away from that.. And one day, nursing school will be nothing but phase in my
  9. Discussing Grades with Other Students

    I couldnt agree more! On our first fundamentals exam, everyone shared grades with everyone else...And I was hesitant to tell people, but I said EH I'm happy with what I got so oh well. (It was in the...
  10. Support system... not so supportive.

    I think as a stressed out nursing student you have a right to be somewhat whiney, just not all the time. I feel that people not in nursing school (ie: parents, friends, fiances, boyfriends..) don't...
  11. In 10 years...

    Haha, thank you. I am in an ADN program right now, I want to transfer to get my bachelors after.. Isn't that a BA? Do I have the wrong letters
  12. Hello, I am in my first semester of an ADN program. I've heard my professors say this so many times... They are getting us ready for long haul but in "reality" we won't use all the information we are...
  13. In 10 years...

    OOps! Ignore my previous post. I am a female, and not worthy of posting on the male nursing forum...
  14. In 10 years...

    I'll be 30. I'd like to have my BA.. I've thought of being a nurse practitioner eventually, but having my BA in nursing is enough of a long term goal for me right now....:) I dont know where I'd like...
  15. how often do you study?

    It varies. For only studying: I try do 3 hours a day, with some mini breaks. More on the weekend (But i feel on the weekends, I want to do less because I'm so drained from the week!).. That doesnt...
  16. You know you're a nursing student when...

    ... when you're stressed as all heck studying for hours, and then you're like "Why am I putting myself through this?!" And then you go to your clinical, help Mrs. Smith with her AM care, toileting,...
  17. heh.. i need a girlfriend apparently.

    Does anyone else notice that guys in nursing school have girls in nursing school hanging all over them like they are a piece of meat? Even the married moms flirt with them! I have seen it with my own...

    Let me what you think. These are also in priority order: Chronic Pain R/T arthritis of the knees AEB client's vocalized rating of a 2/10 on pain scale. Impaired Physical Mobility R/T pain and...
  19. The semester is going so fast! I was wondering how everyone else is doing who is at the halfway point of their first semester, like me... Are you thinking "Oh boy, what have I gotten myself into..."?...
  20. First Care Plan Dx

    i took all of my r/t and aeb specifically from the nursing diagnosis handbook by ackley. i probably shouldn't rely on it word for word (other than the problem part of the pes...) but i think because...
  21. Help with Dx.

    What do I write as a nursing diagnosis for this..? A client has been having frequent and severe headaches and there is evidence of sleep deprivation, because of busy schedule and frequently feeling...
  22. Help with Dx.

    How did I know that you would respond, Daytonite?Thanks! Its for a health history paper that I am writing, we had to interview someone & then find Dx.. Its easy enough but kinda tricky because...
  23. Thank you! You confirmed what I already knew, but for some reason or another I was afraid to include it and then hear "...Why did you include this?"...
  24. Hey all, this is a funny question. I am doing a complete health history (its only a practice, we get to do it on whomever we want..) and under the review of systems there is a "breast" area-- pain,...
