  1. i was kicked out of nursing school

    CBsMommy replied to student_nurse_11's topic in General Students

    I agree with everyone else. The part that's not fair is you gave the incorrect medication dose and lied about it. That is not fair to the patient, the instructor or the nurse that is covering that...

  2. When do you get your RN in BSN programs?

    CBsMommy replied to hmeg34's topic in General Students

    You get your RN at the end of the BSN program and after you have taken the NCLEX. There is nothing that I've ever heard of for an LPN - BSN program, sorry. I've learned there are no short cuts in...

  3. Coming from a new RN, don't rush through school.

    CBsMommy replied to chuckz's topic in General Students

    So, ChuckZ, anything you would have done differently during clinicals to be more prepared for the real world? Like taking the bull by the horns? Asking the RNs how they manage their time, etc?...

  4. Do you read the book before or after material is covered in class?

    CBsMommy replied to Izzy11's topic in General Students

    During all of my pre-req classes, I never read the material before the lecture. Nursing school is different though. Here are my reason for reading the material PRIOR to the lecture. 1. We had a...

  5. New student with crippling panic attacks!

    CBsMommy replied to Tightropewalker's topic in General Students

    I'm not trying to be mean but I can't understand your post. I don't know what guided practice is (it sounds like some sort of test) and you burst into tears (because you were having a panic attack...

  6. What type of RN do you wanna be?

    CBsMommy replied to reeta116's topic in General Students

    I am a trauma junkie all the way! It's always changing and the staff that works in that unit HAS to be team oriented. Fast-paced and a ton of learning opportunities everyday. I'm all about the...

  7. Made Incredibly Easy series

    CBsMommy replied to BacktotheBeach's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I personally like the Med-Surg version. It's a quick basic overview and down to the nitty gritty. It was especially helpful since I haven't taken an A&P class in 5 years. For instance, the...

  8. Should I buy a Saunders review book, when I already have ATI materials?

    CBsMommy replied to whiteoleander5's topic in General Students

    It states in the first few pages of the Test Success book to buy an NCLEX review book and that we should be constantly studying for NCLEX throughout the program. Saunders NCLEX review does have a few...

  9. nursing student needs advice on personal anxiety and patient empathy

    CBsMommy replied to medstudentcutter's topic in General Students

    I have had anxiety in the past and had the symptoms that you have. Short of breath, feeling of dread, etc. My symptoms were manifested from taking on too much responsibility and not allowing myself...

  10. Does this seem like an insane amount of prereqs?

    CBsMommy replied to milo2145's topic in General Students

    That's about right. I did 6 years of pre-reqs, then waited 3 years on a waitlist, and I'm finally in the core nursing program. It's quite an effort,

  11. Do not know What to do,,PLEASE HELP!!

    CBsMommy replied to Jessik's topic in General Students

    Being a full-time student is work too! You are working towards a better future and it's harder than my desk job of 15 years was and requires more

  12. Tonight's Boston Med: nurses featured!

    CBsMommy replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in General Nursing

    And the gum smacking....truly

  13. nursing for financial independence

    CBsMommy replied to Sophiamez's topic in General Nursing

    To the OP, you sound really young, or reading your typing, it sounds like you are young. First, you don't have to figure it all out by the time you're 20. You just don't. If you are younger, I would...

  14. Is this the career of an RN?!

    CBsMommy replied to DGDreamGirl's topic in General Students

    RN's do what needs to be done. The nurse collected a sample for a necessary test and then helped a patient feel better by cleaning them up. While I understand the nervousness of having your own...

  15. Tonight's Boston Med: nurses featured!

    CBsMommy replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in General Nursing

    Wow!!! That nurse was quite rude....at least that's the way it appeared on t.v. First, I don't think that I would have my back to a patient in his room, talking about him to another nurse and...

  16. Great pharm advice

    CBsMommy replied to cmonkey's topic in General Students

    But when you are studying for a test, the suffix can help. Good

  17. What do you wish you were told on the first day?

    CBsMommy replied to AOx1's topic in General Students

    No. You don't need a study group. I was in a study group at the beginning of my first semester and it was a huge mistake! I learn better on my own as

  18. Nursing Diagnoses: Useless Statements secondary to Professional Insecurity

    CBsMommy replied to Fribblet's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I agree, nursing care plans do not equal nursing diagnosis. I am currently in school and get my diagnosis handed back to me saying they do not fit exactly, but my plan of care is perfect! If someone...

  19. anyone heard of a similiar situation like this?

    CBsMommy replied to iiliana's topic in General Students

    I don't think people will look at you in any particular way unless you give them a reason to. If you are professional, then most people will think of you as a professional nursing student, young or...

  20. What do you wish you were told on the first day?

    CBsMommy replied to AOx1's topic in General Students

    This shouldn't have to be said but I wish it was said on my first day of class. We are all adults. The learning that you do, or don't do, will impact YOU and ONLY YOU. It is up to each individual...

  21. How can I make the paperwork and everything more organized?

    CBsMommy replied to Mom02895's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the above posters! Hang in there for 6 months, devise a plan and paperwork you would like to see, keep a positive attitude and, once you get on good terms, suggest the paperwork to your...

  22. Nursing School: Officially the Hardest Thing I've Ever Done

    CBsMommy replied to werkinit's topic in General Students

    I fell behind in my first semester, which was Fundamentals and Pharm. It was right when we started clinicals. I didn't realize how much paperwork would be involved in clinicals and I got a little...

  23. Any parents in NS without a support system?

    CBsMommy replied to starmickey03's topic in General Students

    Check your state licensing board...they should have names and numbers of people close to where you live/go to school that can be interviewed. I would never suggest Craigslist or an unlicensed sitter...

  24. How many hours of sleep did you get a night when you were in nursing school?

    CBsMommy replied to 2bnurseofchrist's topic in General Students

    I am over 30, single mom with a little boy, and agree with the post that if you stay organized from day 1, you will be able to get all the sleep you need. I never needed to pull an all-nighter before...

  25. Med Sheets Help!!

    CBsMommy replied to Brittanymarie's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I also cut and paste from Davis's drug guide for stuff like dose, side effects, etc. What a time
