  1. Things you would love to say to your fellow nursing students!

    lemonaidangel replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    Thank you for letting me join your study group and for helping me cram before our final last week. I would have failed if not for you. Seriously, you rock. I'm so, so sorry that you didn't make it....

  2. Funny charting error.

    lemonaidangel posted a topic in General Students

    Thursday, June 19, 2008 The hour before we meet our assigned patients in the hospital, we have to go through their charts on the computer and find out all of their important information:...

  3. How many have to take/have taken HESI?

    lemonaidangel replied to futureRNJaz's topic in General Students

    We have to take the HESI three times. Once our first semester, once the summer before becoming a senior, and an exit exam when we are all done. Fortunately, unlike many, we aren't required to pass in...

  4. 2nd year question...

    lemonaidangel replied to beth66335's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I guess it varies from school to school. I'm currently a senior in nursing school and we have the exact same care plans as we did from the beginning. In fact, they are more strict with us on grading...

  5. Priority nursing diagnosis

    lemonaidangel replied to vashtee's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I remember my nursing instructor saying something about this when we were doing cardiac. I think her reasoning why the number one thing with an MI is pain relief is because it relaxes the patient,...

  6. 3.5hr lecture = 8 test ques?

    lemonaidangel replied to jjjoy's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I agree with everything the above poster said. As a senior nursing student, I have often felt the same sentiments. I used to spend hours pouring over textbooks, learning all of the little details,...

  7. Did RNs Have To Practice Bathing Each Other In NS

    lemonaidangel replied to me-too's topic in General Students

    We had a skills lab our first semester. We practiced vital signs, bathing (in shorts and tank tops), change bandages, lifting people out of bed with gait belts, changing sheets with people still in...

  8. Burning Of The Uniforms.....

    lemonaidangel replied to RheatherN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I am totally burning mine next year. Hate those dreadful

  9. Clinicals

    lemonaidangel replied to lpratummanee's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    We have an hour prior to going out on the floor on clinical days to go through our patient's chart and list of medications. We all have a med deck, and we have to pull out each medication card. If...

  10. Soooo, you're observing in the Operating Room (O.R.)...

    lemonaidangel replied to Marie_LPN, RN's topic in General Students

    One of the girls in my OR rotation passed out for that same reason as Dallet6--low blood pressure. She had sense enough to leave the OR and slowly make her way to the nurses station, taking little...

  11. Failed... Want to transfer to a new school. Please Help!

    lemonaidangel replied to Butterfly83's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Yeah, the HIPPA violation alone could have been the humdinger that got you. All of my instructors have pounded over and over and over in my head, "If you didn't chart it, you didn't do it!" Even...

  12. You know you are in nursing school when ctxt

    lemonaidangel replied to tnstudentnurse's topic in General Students

    when you look at cracks in the cement and it reminds you of hepatic cells through a

  13. Whats been the hardest/easiest nursing course for you?

    lemonaidangel replied to moncj66's topic in General Students

    Oh yeah. I forgot about pathophysiology. I LOVED that class! Everything about it fascinated me. It was the easiest A of my

  14. Whats been the hardest/easiest nursing course for you?

    lemonaidangel replied to moncj66's topic in General Students

    Pharmacology, medical math, and med surg 1 were my easiest. Fundamentals and OB were my

  15. Desperate Need Help from RN students who make A's and B's consistently

    lemonaidangel replied to Txborn82's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I hear ya. Nursing school is tough! I had a really hard time in the beginning. After failing three tests in a row, I thought I was an idiot and I could never make it to the end. But then something...

  16. Failed... Want to transfer to a new school. Please Help!

    lemonaidangel replied to Butterfly83's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Well, I think it really depends on exactly what those "three little incidents" were. What happened exactly? One girl failed OB clincals this semester because she gave a medication without the...

  17. Grading scale for Nusing school???

    lemonaidangel replied to COLPN's topic in General Students

    I know! It's terrible! Our school prides itself in having one of the highest NCLEX passing rates in the nation. I think it's because they have weeded out everyone but the genius smart people. I hate...

  18. Things you would love to say to your fellow nursing students!

    lemonaidangel replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    Quit bashing the instructors. In the hallway. Where anyone can hear you. Wednesday students: DO NOT CALL up the Monday group to find out what is going to be on a test! It's called cheating! We had to...

  19. Grading scale for Nusing school???

    lemonaidangel replied to COLPN's topic in General Students

    Our grading scale is insane. Need 96 to get an A, 94 to get a B...85 is a C- and 80 is

  20. Seton Hall NS article re: students failing HESI

    lemonaidangel replied to AtomicWoman's topic in General Students

    Our school has us all take the HESI three times--once at the beginning, one this summer, and an exit exam next year. But we aren't required to pass it. I think the college just wants to know how much...

  21. is anyone here in SC4's program or been in it?

    lemonaidangel replied to angelgreg's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Well, I think that decision is entirely up to you. I had all of my liberal arts classes completed the spring I found out I was accepted, so I never had to really worry about it. However, knowing that...

  22. is anyone here in SC4's program or been in it?

    lemonaidangel replied to angelgreg's topic in Michigan Nursing

    If you have any more questions, feel free to ask. I'll try my best to answer them as honestly and clearly as I can. I'm sure other SC4 students would love to give their two cents also, that is if they...

  23. is anyone here in SC4's program or been in it?

    lemonaidangel replied to angelgreg's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Here is a copy of what my schedule was during the fall semester. Monday: Nursing Process seminar (for 1/2 the semester) 10:00-11:50 AM Skills lab 12:45-3:45 PM Tuesday: study day...

    lemonaidangel replied to angelgreg's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Congratulations on getting accepted. I heard it was harder this year to get in because of the added requirements. Give yourself a pat on the back for doing so well. :-) I'm finishing up my first year...
