  1. Student getting a hip replacement - worried!

    lemonaidangel replied to xoyw01's topic in General Students

    Good question. I wish I had answers for you, but I don't know what to say. My only question for you is the timing of the surgery. Are you sure you want to get it done while you are in nursing school?...

  2. No She/he Did Not!!!

    lemonaidangel replied to Maggie in NC's topic in General Students

    No she did not disappear off the floor for over two hours when two of her patients (in the same room) were in serious respiratory distress! It was a nursing student who found them in critical...

  3. I feel so lazy today!

    lemonaidangel replied to whiteoleander5's topic in General Students

    lemonaidangel posted a topic in General Students

    This is my last year in nursing school, and every year the seniors get assigned freshman students to mentor and to give them moral support. I was very excited when I found out my student was a very...

  5. My friend withdrew from the program.

    lemonaidangel replied to lemonaidangel's topic in General Students

    Thank you all for your words of advice. I know in my heart it was the right decision for her. In a way, I feel kind of relieved for her, too. She made me nervous just looking at her sometimes! To...

  6. ADN People - what was your hardest semester?

    lemonaidangel replied to NursingGeek's topic in General Students

    My worst semester was our first. They threw soooo much on us all at once. It was crazy! I came home almost in tears every day. It got better once we started the winter semester. There was less stress,...

  8. Help me reason through a question.

    lemonaidangel replied to bekindtokittens's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I would lean toward B. I remember reading that there are drugs that you can inject in the skin to slow down or halt the damage that the chemo is causing by extravasation. I don't know the specifics...

  9. Initial assessment

    lemonaidangel replied to Aiming4Altruism's topic in General Students

    Assessments are hard to be "cookie cutter." Each patient is different, so you are going to have to approach each patient different. The way they teach you in nursing school is just a general guide,...

    lemonaidangel replied to lemonaidangel's topic in General Students

    lemonaidangel replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Students

  14. What wakes you up in the morning?

    lemonaidangel replied to redtshirt's topic in General Students

    Brrr. That's too cold!!!! I suppose it would wake a person up rather quickly, though. I wake up by brushing my teeth, taking a shower, and gulping down something with caffiene-- usually black tea,...

  15. How many tests have you taken so far??

    lemonaidangel replied to newbie08's topic in General Students

    I am in my last year. Unfortunately, you newbies, the fast madness never stops. We started August 25, and we've had 2 tests in mental health, 1 test in med surg III, 1 med calculation test that we...

  19. Carrying all that stuff to clinicals . . .

    lemonaidangel replied to intensity_too's topic in General Students

    I carry my stuff in a backpack. It holds everything that I need, and it's better than putting all that weight on one arm.There is no shame is walking into a hospital with a bag on your back. They all...

    lemonaidangel replied to picurn10's topic in General Students

  25. Passing rate for your school?

    lemonaidangel replied to ashemson's topic in General Students

    Ours is 80% on tests, and finals are cumulative. And every semester you have to get 100% on the calc tests. Clinicals are pass/fail, and clinical assignments don't go toward your overall grade. You...
