  2. No Smoking Campus

    tiggerdagibit replied to TRAMA1RN's topic in General Nursing

    Our hospitals recently went non smoking. I've never seen a security guard enforcing it, but then again I'm not usually standing outside for long. I'm all for promoting a healthier lifestyle, but I...

    2000 ml over 24 hours 2000/24= 83.33= 83 ml/h So to find the amount infused over 8 hours, just multiply 83 x 8. The rest of them look

  5. What study habits work?

    tiggerdagibit replied to NICUplease's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Honestly, what works best for me is just studying my powerpoints/notes. I also highlight important points in them and write down pages that have charts/diagrams etc to look at. That being said.....

  7. In need of career advice

    tiggerdagibit replied to noiseordinance's topic in General Nursing

    I had no healthcare experience at all when I started on my nursing school journey. We were required to have our CNA to be accepted, so I got that and worked in a LTC facility for a few months between...

  8. Resources ??

    tiggerdagibit replied to eljamstudent's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Nursing Diagnosis Handbook: A Guide to Planning Care by Betty J. Ackley and Gail B. Ladwig I have this book and love it! It's very helpful when filling out careplans. I don't know what I'd do without...

  9. Nursing program at Forsyth Tech in NC

    tiggerdagibit replied to lck8119's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The lowest points required depend on the students that are eligible for that semester. They take the top 72. I got in with 86 points for prereqs and 99 for TEAS for a total of 185. I don't know what...

  10. How strict is/was your nursing school concerning your appearance?

    tiggerdagibit replied to KarynicaRN's topic in General Nursing

    For lecture/lab we can wear whatever. Clinicals are specific blue pants with white top embroidered with the school logo. White shoes and socks. We also have a white embroidered lab jacket to wear if...

  11. Pain scale is missing a key element

    tiggerdagibit replied to ThatPoshGirl's topic in General Nursing

    I think that's awful! As a student, we're taught that "pain is what the patient says it is." Everyone has a different tolerance and who am I to judge what you feel?! Even if you were "just...

  12. Can I handle nursing?

    tiggerdagibit replied to singlemom33's topic in General Nursing

    At my school, we were required to have our CNA certificate before starting nursing school. I think that's a good thing because 1) you need to know the basic skills before clinicals and 2) you may find...

  13. Is nursing for me?

    tiggerdagibit replied to onetwothree's topic in General Nursing

    We didn't have cadavers. We didn't have cats or frogs or chickens for that matter. lol Our A&P lab was actually done on a cd on the computer that used a frog. I wasn't sure if I could handle the...

  14. Need some advice..

    tiggerdagibit replied to AB092504's topic in General Nursing

    If it were me, I'd do the ADN program at the cc. If I figured right (which I may not have.. it's been a long day. lol) and if you do have to work a year before the LPN to RN program, you could finish...

  15. Nursing School GPA Question

    tiggerdagibit replied to NewTexasRN's topic in General Nursing

    I guess I'm not understanding the confusion/complaint. Are most colleges on a 10 point scale or something? Our "regular" grading scale for programs other than nursing isn't much different than the ADN...

  16. Nursing School GPA Question

    tiggerdagibit replied to NewTexasRN's topic in General Nursing

    Ours is A 93-100 B 86-92 C 80-85 You must pass with an 80 for the semester. I don't have a problem with it because I wouldn't want a nurse taking care of my family that couldn't make at least average...

  17. Novolog Flexpen

    tiggerdagibit replied to widi96's topic in General Nursing

    I can't reply to the hospital factor because the hospitals I have clinicals at both use syringes/vials, but as a diabetic I LOVE my pen. I wish the hospitals would switch. They are so easy to

  18. How to write a nursing GOAL?

    tiggerdagibit replied to Lema's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    The goal (outcome) doesn't have 'as evidenced by' in it. That's for the nursing diagnosis part. We were taught the goal had to be SMART. Specific Measurable Attainable Realistic Timed So.. reduce...

  19. tattoos

    tiggerdagibit replied to meyun06's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a nursing student and have 2, but they are in places that aren't seen with my uniform on. We were told that if we had them and they could be seen, we had to cover them with bandages or wraps...

    tiggerdagibit replied to aphi~gn's topic in General Nursing

    We had to do an ethical presentation last semester. Our teacher actually assigned us a topic, but ours was.. an adolescent with cancer didn't want the new treatment, but his parents did and how do we,...

  21. I've just been accepted to the nursing program and I'm nervous!

    tiggerdagibit replied to smilin4ever's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know what pre-nursing classes you took, but I'd try to remember A&P as much as I could.. and of course English. But don't worry too much. I had a year between A&P and when I actually...

  22. is it hard going back to school as a single parent or wait

    tiggerdagibit replied to sincere1782's topic in General Nursing

    I think school is hard whether you're a single parent or not. lol It all depends on if you have help or resources that will allow you to go to school and your daughter will be taken care of also. I...

    tiggerdagibit replied to smilin4ever's topic in General Nursing

    tiggerdagibit replied to shellpsychrn's topic in General Students

    I'm tired too. lol I'm in summer semester right now. I was really scared at first because it's 16 weeks worth of info pushed into 10 weeks. After the first week or so, I got into the groove and I'm...

    tiggerdagibit replied to zooz's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear
