  1. Why do nursing stuents hate eachother??

    Dianacabana replied to midnight*sky's topic in General Students

    WHATever. Let them think its high school. Let the childish dopes be childish. I saw it last semester too. Chances are they won't be around for graduation or even next semester. Problem solved....

  2. HIPAA violation by another student

    Dianacabana replied to Dianacabana's topic in General Students

    True, I could have talked to her. I was uncomfortable with calling, and I was clear I did not want to mention her by name. And I also told the Pt. Advocate Dept. that I didn't want her fired. Does...

  4. Politely Refusing to Share Grades

    Dianacabana replied to Cilantrophobe's topic in General Students

    I still don't say anything (2nd semester, still). I learned during the course of my first degree that it does not help ANYONE and it can really promote bitterness in those susceptible (not me and its...

  5. Thiazide diuretics and anesthesia

    Dianacabana posted a topic in General Nursing

    I posted this in the student assistance forum but am not getting any responses. Could you all help? Why do thiazide diuretics interact with anesthesia so as to increase the risk for excessive...

  6. Would you want a classmate to be your nurse?

    Dianacabana replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Students

    I don't worry too much about it. Poor students won't make it. That's why there is the NCLEX exam, plus all the mountains you have to climb (Himalaya-size) to get through nursing school in the first...

  9. Pharmacology - do flash cards help - best advice

    Dianacabana replied to plumstethoscope's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I have taken Pharmacology and I made my own flash cards. I thought it was more helpful to me to do it that way. I am taking med-surg this semester and my prof recommended Pharm Phlash by FA Davis. I...

  10. Where Can I get a good Nursing Care plan book?

    Dianacabana replied to MrsPratt06's topic in General Students

    I have Cox's Clinical Applications of Nsg Dx and I am not crazy about it. I did use Sparks & Taylor which I did like better but unfortunately I only had limited use of it so I can't say it was...

    Dianacabana replied to plumstethoscope's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  12. For Fun - Things You Want to Buy Once You're a Nurse

    Dianacabana replied to Multicollinearity's topic in General Students

    Wow! Does it style your hair for you and tell you how gorgeous you look? Then it could replace my husband (who does neither and costs a lot more).

  13. For Fun - Things You Want to Buy Once You're a Nurse

    Dianacabana replied to Multicollinearity's topic in General Students

    NEW car. Not "new-to-me" used, but really new. Smells new. Clean...no kid crumbs or matchboxes rolling around. Well, at least for a couple of days =) Aaahhhh. So nice to

  16. MATH HELP! IV- drug and drip question

    Dianacabana replied to Starfish1's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    How did you know that the volume in the first part of the case study (with the 20 mEq KCl) was 1000 mL? I couldn't find where it said that, which really threw me for a loop when I tried to figure it...

  17. Desperate!!!!Need help ASAP- FUNDAMENTALS final coming up

    Dianacabana replied to VM85's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    First of all...don't panic. It makes studying that much harder. I took my final in Dec. and while we used a different text (Taylor), I found these tips helpful with my multiple choice exams, because...

  18. Cheap books online? Textbook website suggestions??

    Dianacabana replied to ccac international's topic in General Students

    I like Half.com. If you use Barnes and Noble, the best deals are only if you have a membership ($25/yr). Craigslist is good too. Best of

  19. Need help w/EOC's for this patient

    Dianacabana replied to Missionarymom's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  22. i feel like a failure BIG time

    Dianacabana replied to laogirlinSD's topic in General Students

    IMHO, learning to think like a nurse is completely different than any other career (except other areas of medicine). I have a BA in Biology and still I scratch my head sometimes trying to figure it...

    Dianacabana replied to Adams_Mommy_07's topic in General Nursing

    It isn't just nursing school that does this to men, its an educated woman that seems to pose a "threat" to some men. I went to college before I went to NS. I can't tell you the number of boyfriends...
