  1. NCLEX priotity questions - how do you know?

    CBsMommy replied to calljs15's topic in General Students

    If it's not a life threatening situation, start focusing on Maslow's. I saw a chart somewhere that will tell you what types of situations fit into which category, I'm sure if you google it, you can...

  2. Patient modesty concerns pertaining to surgery

    CBsMommy replied to creinkent's topic in Operating Room

    Might I add that when I am an RN, I will NEVER make fun of/embarass any patient and do not condone that

  3. Patient modesty concerns pertaining to surgery

    CBsMommy replied to creinkent's topic in Operating Room

    Yikes! I am having surgery this Friday and this is my WORST fear! I don't care if people make fun of me, if they poke my belly, if they re-dress me, whatever.....but PLEASE make sure I'm out for the...

  4. What is a typical clinical day?

    CBsMommy replied to OBplease's topic in General Students

    I got two pairs of scrubs because we had clinicals back-to-back and it was easier, instead of doing the wash, when I had so much to prepare. Plus, I had a back-up in case my one pair got ruined. I...

  5. If you've taken pharmacology or pathophysiology...help

    CBsMommy replied to lovelylady42's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Do you have your pharm book? I would go through and see how the drugs act on the body, where they effect the body, etc. As I was going through my pharm class, I actually would have my anatomy book...

  6. What is a typical clinical day?

    CBsMommy replied to OBplease's topic in General Students

    For us, clinicals started the evening prior to the actual clinical day. We would be given our assignment, then we would need to go to the facility where we would look up all their information (why...

  7. Classroom or Online...Which is Better? Advice Needed

    CBsMommy replied to CLUVRN's topic in General Students

    Be careful with online classes. I am currently in an ADN program moving forward with the pre-reqs to a BSN bridge and they do not accept three of the classes that I have taken online so now I will...

  8. Mandatory cut-off age for being a bedside nurse?

    CBsMommy replied to Katie5's topic in General Nursing

    OP - That just sounds un-American. And this is coming from a "young" nursing

  9. WOW!!! I just saw how much first semester books cost!!!

    CBsMommy replied to Waitingtill2010's topic in General Students

    Have you looked at Amazon.com? Do a search by title and make sure that you get the same edition that your school is requiring. I know a lot of people suggest that you buy a later edition to save...

  10. Question for current nursing students:

    CBsMommy replied to jil_'s topic in General Students

    Read a nursing test success book. They are really thin, a fast read and have a lot of useful information, IMO. I did start reading NCLEX questions the summer before I started the nursing program and...

  11. Sad, need to vent

    CBsMommy replied to pashark's topic in General Students

    OP - I know how you feel! I am a single Mom who already doesn't feel like I have enough time for my little boy. What I did to ease the feelings was to put a desk in my office for my son, with a toy...

  12. HOW do nurses THINK?

    CBsMommy replied to Sand_Dollar's topic in General Students

    I think what they mean by that is the doctor's treat the disease and nurses treat the people with the disease. We, as nurses, have more contact with the patients than the doctors do. Therefore, we...

  13. Homework? How much in 1st year?

    CBsMommy replied to JWnurse2b's topic in General Students

    We were in school for 11 hours/week, clinicals for 16 hours/week and I spent on average 30 hours/week studying. More towards the end of the semester and when we had pharm tests coming up. At the...

  14. Respect?

    CBsMommy replied to trimm's topic in General Nursing

    I often think about this type to behaviour when I am out in public. Irregardless of where I work, shop or even drive, I run into this attitude. Sometimes I wonder if it's better to adopt the "if you...

  15. Pathophysiology Fall 2010

    CBsMommy replied to Sand_Dollar's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'm sorry. Pathophys. For some reason I read Pharm. DUH to me! Well, I did use the same book for Patho and we did go through the whole book. I did it in an online class over the summer prior to...

  16. Failed out of BSN program, will another BSN program take me?

    CBsMommy replied to JayPow's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I've heard the excelsior online has a good program but I don't know anything about it. It came up on another thread like this one. Good

  17. Discouraged by Nurses who hate their job

    CBsMommy replied to Tooimpatient's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    tnrn4nnoc - what have you done to help the situation for yourself, patients and co-workers? have you tried talking to management? have you tried to go with the flow? have you given suggestions to...

  18. Nursing School Dilemma

    CBsMommy replied to Adams_Mama_07's topic in General Students

    You don't have to be married to be happy. In fact, I got divorced because I wanted to be on my own. It's a much better situation for my ex-spouse, who by the way is still my best friend, myself and...

  19. Discouraged by Nurses who hate their job

    CBsMommy replied to Tooimpatient's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    OP, keep up that positive attitude and you will go far in life! Good

  20. Pathophysiology Fall 2010

    CBsMommy replied to Sand_Dollar's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I just got done with that class and used the same book. For patho we had to learn the different classes, starting with sympathomimetics/sympatholytics. I would go through the first 3 chapters of...

  21. Discouraged by Nurses who hate their job

    CBsMommy replied to Tooimpatient's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I worked in another industry for 15 years prior to nursing and we liked to call that negative attitude stinkin' thinkin'. It is everywhere, in every type of industry, and I also agree that it is from...

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

    CBsMommy replied to werkinit's topic in General Students

    I think it's hard too but manageable as long as you don't get behind. I got behind a little last semester and just couldn't find the time to get caught up. Thank goodness I got through it and now on...

  23. Very Concerned (please read)

    CBsMommy replied to CuriousGreorge7's topic in General Nursing

    I was drug tested several times before being admitted to my nursing school, once after and once before clinicals. The one after I was admitted and the one before clinicals were unannounced. Our...

  24. RN to BSN doesn't feel right.

    CBsMommy replied to Student2Registered's topic in General Nursing

    I know that confused look on a child's face. There is nothing sadder! When I would drop my son off at daycare he would look at me with that face and then he would start to cry. It broke my heart!!!...

  25. People think you are rich because you are a nurse

    CBsMommy replied to chenoaspirit's topic in General Nursing

    When I first started school a person in my class asked me (not very nicely either) where all my money came from. She was in my study group and couldn't fathom how I can afford a 4 bedroom house in a...
