  1. Anybody NOT feel like it's taking over?

    CBsMommy replied to OBplease's topic in General Students

    And, for the second time, it depends on the program you are in because there was no way you could do this in my

    What?

  3. Irritating Classmates

    CBsMommy replied to ImThatGuy's topic in General Students

    Sorry. That was a little premature on my part. I've edited my

    CBsMommy replied to ImThatGuy's topic in General Students

    Who said I cared if anyone

  5. Irritating Classmates

    CBsMommy replied to ImThatGuy's topic in General Students

    I don't care if you come here to vent. I think it's actually kind of funny. I've vented before on different threads. I couldn't really care less. I'm not being uncouth, in fact, I think by...

  6. Irritating Classmates

    CBsMommy replied to ImThatGuy's topic in General Students

    Who cares how your classmates act? Is it really going to matter in a couple of years? You probably won't even remember their names. Why let it bother you so much? As for being one of the careless...

  7. Anybody NOT feel like it's taking over?

    CBsMommy replied to OBplease's topic in General Students

    See, it's different in every program. Our teachers focus on the overall stuff we need but they rarely get down to the nitty gritty, which is exactly what they test on. There have been people in my...

  8. Anybody NOT feel like it's taking over?

    CBsMommy replied to OBplease's topic in General Students

    Nursing school hasn't taken over my life and I get great grades and don't feel the same sense of panic as the rest of my cohort. Things I do: 1) Take it one day at a time. 2) I agree with staying...

  9. Irritating Classmates

    CBsMommy replied to ImThatGuy's topic in General Students

    They might not do it around you but don't disillusion yourself. They are going to do it, busy or not. Especially in nursing. And, what are you going to do with the patients who are like this? It...

    CBsMommy replied to ImThatGuy's topic in General Students

    Yeah, then you get out in the real world and have to deal with patients and co-workers like

  11. Confused Nursing student: Need advice!!!!

    CBsMommy replied to Confused07's topic in General Students

    To me, it sounds like you would like the psychology/social work aspect to people's lives instead of dealing with nursing and that's great for you to figure out now so that you can switch your major....

    CBsMommy replied to ImThatGuy's topic in General Students

    I don't think most of us are oblivious to it, we just don't care what you

  13. Good Advice Karma Given Here!

    CBsMommy replied to alliphx's topic in General Students

    I didn't have any experience before nursing school and I get really good grades and haven't failed a checkoff yet. Here's how I organize: 1) I have a binder for each class. For instance, when I was...

  14. A little depressed..

    CBsMommy replied to texasmum's topic in General Students

    I think most of my class received C's on the first test in Fundamentals. It's so hard to take that first test because 1) Nursing school tests are different. 2) You don't know how your individual...

  15. POOP! What do I put on my nursing notes for poop?

    CBsMommy replied to xxiangel's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    This almost made me spit soda at my computer. Too

  16. High glucose levels, everywhere!

    CBsMommy replied to BA_anthropology's topic in General Students

    Also, make sure the alcohol pads that you wipe their fingers with are drying because if you get any extra alcohol from the wipes, it can also elevate glucose

  17. Looking professional all day long . . .

    CBsMommy replied to Sugar-Phosphate's topic in General Nursing

    I've heard that if you rinse your hair at the end of your shower with colder water (don't freeze yourself), it will help to take away the greasiness. If I find my hair is getting too greasy at the...

  18. Does this math make sense to you?

    CBsMommy posted a topic in General Students

    I need some really good math minds. I am really good at math, have the answer and the way the person figured this out and still can't make it make sense. Here's the problem: Order: Some drug 1000mg...

  19. Does this math make sense to you?

    CBsMommy replied to CBsMommy's topic in General Students

    For me, it's the cross multiplying and the way this question doesn't seem to jive. For instance, we usually set up the answers with the same figures in DA, like: mL/gtt * gtt/min * min/hr See how...

  20. Does this math make sense to you?

    CBsMommy replied to CBsMommy's topic in General Students

    This makes sense and does come to the right answer. Maybe I just need to step away from it to have it absorb into my thick head!

  21. skills dvds

    CBsMommy replied to ashleyisawesome's topic in General Students

    OP - I used to think the exact same thing! How much are they paying these poor people! Then I always think about Joey from that t.v. show Friends and I cringe just thinking about it.

  22. Nursing diagnoses Hyperthyroidism..help!

    CBsMommy replied to jel1216's topic in General Students

    The only reason that I can think it would be decreased CO is because hyperthyroidism can increase a HR, which would decrease preload, affecting CO. Usually though, hyperthyroidism doesn't increase...

  23. Team leader assignment

    CBsMommy replied to Kringe38's topic in General Students

    Depending on your clinical instructor, you may be able to talk with the students prior to doing the assigning for their input. I'm a totally hands-off manager, for the most part, and like to treat...

  24. Just talked to a nurse- I feel so down & anxious

    CBsMommy replied to StudentNrseMcFarland's topic in General Students

    I have these same doubts about getting a job after I graduate but it's helped to propel me through nursing school and do what I can to set myself apart from the rest of my class. I'm still a little...

  25. Team leader assignment

    CBsMommy replied to Kringe38's topic in General Students

    I had the chance to do this last semester and it's not too bad. Hopefully your classmates will be okay with it since you will each have a turn at it. I agree with the post above, leadership does not...
