    Had my 2nd OB test today and one question is driving me crazy. When doing an internal lady partsl exam on a laboring woman which of the following is true? a. Perform internal exam every hour b. If...

  2. blah... i thought that nursing school was not going to be this hard!!!

    shann106 replied to 9livesRN's topic in General Students

    In my class it is the men that are the drama queens, er kings. One in particular disrupts class everyday with his whining. It is frustrating for those of us that are working, taking care of a...

  3. getting a jump on school

    shann106 replied to pupsnpaws's topic in General Students

    Just like the others said, memorization will get you no where in nursing school. It is all about taking what you know an applying it in a given situation. Don't waste you time learning all the...

  4. Chemistry grade C+ not good enough

    shann106 replied to minokismom's topic in General Students

    C in anything would keep you out of my nursing school. Once you are admitted, you can get C's and stay in, but to get in C's don't cut it. I knew people that did not get in with a 3.5 GPA overall. I...

  5. PLZ HELP! DIDN'T PASS

    shann106 replied to slim2007's topic in General Students

    I have never heard of a nursing school/instructor giving extra points, the fact that she is giving that many extra points leads me to believe that your classmates are having just as much trouble as...

  6. What is the very best NCLEX book to help with studying for exams & for boards???

    shann106 replied to believeallispossible's topic in General Students

    Saunder and Kaplan are considered the best. I also like HESI's book. I have several different ones. I got most of mine at Half Priced books at really good prices. I have no idea if you should be...

  7. This test quesiton is driving me nuts! What is the right answer

    shann106 replied to shann106's topic in General Students

    Thanks Jolie, I went back and forth between C and D. What kept me from picking D was "all" The book says that before membranes are ruptured use clean gloves, after ROM then use sterile gloves, since...

  8. How many people quit or flunk out of NS vs graduate?

    shann106 replied to cpo_one's topic in General Students

    Our school is highly competitive, and has a reputation for being harder than other schools in our area (but I don't know if there is any truth to that) We started with 100, were told day 1 that less...

  9. Exam Disaster!

    shann106 replied to New 2 iceeYouRN's topic in General Students

    Nursing and nursing school is all about critical thinking. Every test we have is all critical thinking, scenerios with questions like nursing priorities. NCLEX is mostly made up of these types of...

  10. Family Rad Tech jealous of me RN student?

    shann106 replied to gelousstudent's topic in General Students

    I am a Rad Tech in nursing school. I made $18.65 an hour at a orthopedic clinic. Now I am working 12 hr shifts Fri, Sat, Sun at a walk in clinic as a rad tech/medical assistant, I make $14 an hour,...

  11. Don't wear gloves when doing vitals on post-partum mom

    shann106 replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    I have been an xray tech/medical assistant for 15 yrs, and am in my 2nd semester of nursing school. The only time I can recall wearing gloves while doing vital signs is when I am caring for a trauma...

  12. I'm so envious

    shann106 replied to Ciale's topic in General Students

    I understand how you feel. I am in my second semester of nursing school and I work full time, and am a single mother. I am jealous of my classmates that do no have to work, and do not have children,...

  13. Looking for Research Paper Suggestions

    shann106 replied to Rhody34's topic in General Students

    I am doing a research paper for my Maternity Nursing class. The topic I chose is Infertilty in the PCOS patient. There is tons of research on this subject, and it is a hot topic right

  14. Nursing School Students...Is It Hard?

    shann106 replied to HappyMeNow's topic in General Students

    Difficult can not even begin to describe it. And yes many students drop out and fail out. We started with 100 students and on the first day they told us to expect half to not make it to next semester....

  15. Need Help with Smoking Issue!!!!!!!

    shann106 replied to Nursey103's topic in General Students

    I forgot to mention that I tried dating a smoker once and that was the one and only reason we broke up. I cared deeply for him and still do but I could not take the stinch on him, me and everything he...

  16. Need Help with Smoking Issue!!!!!!!

    shann106 replied to Nursey103's topic in General Students

    (I did not read all the responses so forgive me if someone already said this) Our school has a zero smoking policy for clinicals, meaning not only can you not smoke during clincals but if you come to...

  17. What have I done?!

    shann106 replied to PreRN Katie's topic in General Students

    It's overwhelming, I know. I wish I could tell you it is going to get easier, it's not. BUT it is a different kind of overwhelming. At first it feels like everything is getting thrown at you at once,...

  18. Any other ADNs wishing they had done BSN??

    shann106 replied to newbie08's topic in General Students

    No, the pay difference at the hospitals that I have done my clinicals at is nothing. If you are a staff nurse, not management there is not even a penny difference in salary between a ADN and BSN. The...

  19. Just started & already noticing things

    shann106 replied to AtheistRN's topic in General Students

    Statistics show that less than 30% of healthcare workers practice correct hand hygeine. Disgusting isn't

  20. Is it worth $100

    shann106 replied to sproeber89's topic in General Students

    I wasted money on mine. I tried to use it but even with it laying on the instructors desk the noise from people moving around, rustling papers etc was so distracting that I couldn't concentrate on the...

  21. I bought my Syllabus yesterday !

    shann106 replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    That sounds exactly like my OB class, as far as the amount of material, tests, projects etc. but mine is the entire semester. That is an incrediable amount of material to learn in just 7

  22. Maximum work hours

    shann106 replied to pam619's topic in General Students

    I work 40 hours a week, I am the only person in my class working that many hours. Our school suggests no more than 20 hours a week, and only if you cannot survive without the money. They strongly...

  23. Class sizes

    shann106 replied to sproeber89's topic in General Students

    When we started the first semester there was 100 in our program, we are down to 40 something now (most failed out, a few cracked under the stress and dropped out) We have 6 -8 in each clinical

  24. Taking two anatomy classes at once

    shann106 replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in General Students

    I took physiology and Organic Chemistry the same semester and got A's in both. If you are determined to do it you can do it, it will be challenging just because of the amount of material, but it can...

  25. Any student nurses find biology hard?

    shann106 replied to _Angel_'s topic in General Students

    Is Biology easy? NO, but compared to nursing classes it isn't hard either. I am curious if you have started actual nursing courses yet because seriously, compared to them Biology (anatomy,...
