  1. Prioritization Question

    CBsMommy replied to CollaborateRN's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Daytonite - Thanks. That makes more sense

  2. Help! Just barely hanging on!

    CBsMommy replied to carolina9803's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    My question is, does your boyfriend help around the house at all? He needs to pick up some chores. Put him to work! As for the kids...can't they take their own showers/baths? I put my 3 year old...

  3. Prioritization Question

    CBsMommy replied to CollaborateRN's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Daytonite - I'm just curious why a nutrition precaution would come before a safety precaution. It sounds like the pt. already has COPD so wouldn't you want to secure the immediate need of the safety...

  4. depression & nursing school

    CBsMommy replied to jmcc0405's topic in General Students

    I feel for you! I am away from my husband all the time too (in fact, we have been in seperate living quarters for 8 years now). I couldn't live with my family, especially my mother! I understand...

  5. Looking for LPN school in Colorado

    CBsMommy replied to phines8098's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Hi Robyn - The TEAS test was pretty easy, in my opinion. A lot of simple algebra (if you've taken the nursing math class you will be fine). There are some earth science question on rocks and...

  6. Looking for LPN school in Colorado

    CBsMommy replied to phines8098's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I am taking it right now and it's tough. The exams are every week, lasting an hour and a half to 2 hours but the questions are NOT easy. So, you have an average of 2 minutes per question, which may...

  7. Huge let down from one of my profs

    CBsMommy replied to Holly.G's topic in General Students

    If you really want this then who cares what the teacher thinks? I would tell you to participate in class because it's going to help you interact with the patients and peers. You shouldn't judge...

  8. Nursing School Drama queens

    CBsMommy replied to dinah77's topic in General Students

    How I approach nursing school, or any class, is this: I'm always polite to everyone. It doesn't matter if you don't like them, their personality, things they say or do...I'm at least polite. A...

  9. To Drop or Not to Drop...

    CBsMommy posted a topic in General Students

    I need advice of what you would do. I am taking math for clinical calcs and pathophys. this semester. Both online courses. I decided early in the semester not to take patho because I wasn't really...

  10. anyone applying to CU for 2010?

    CBsMommy replied to Sand_Dollar's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I just talked with a nursing instructor at Beth-El (I'm in Colorado Springs) and they currently have a wait list. It's a great program but their waitlist is about 2 years. There's just not enough...

  11. What do you do when/if a Doctor or other nurse curses you out?

    CBsMommy replied to Di Deanna's topic in General Nursing

    Holy geez! How did you ever work it out with someone who shoved you into a table? There would be no way! I would've called the police as well and instead of going up the chain of command, I...

  12. What do you do when/if a Doctor or other nurse curses you out?

    CBsMommy replied to Di Deanna's topic in General Nursing

    I have this happen to me all the time at my job. What's worse, is that it's usually one manager that happens to do this. Scream, in front of all my co-workers, for things that are out of my control....

  13. Do you have a home office for school? What's your system?

    CBsMommy replied to JBGC4's topic in General Students

    This is how my system is set up. I put my desk in my bedroom along with a seperate bookcase that is tall, with 6 shelves (you can buy the ones at Wal-Mart that you put together). My bedroom is in...

  14. Getting into nursing but have OCD

    CBsMommy replied to Guest717002's topic in General Students

    Hi Erica - I wasn't offended and I hope that I didn't offend you! I wouldn't disregard your post as you made great suggestions. I just wanted to clarify that one little point is all. I think that...

  15. Getting into nursing but have OCD

    CBsMommy replied to Guest717002's topic in General Students

    Hi Erica2176 - I disagree. If you truly have OCD (and not just saying that because you like things in order) you can't just turn it on and off at will. OCD is a very serious issue and even though...

  16. Bitter taste in my mouth... (venting)

    CBsMommy replied to CandyGyrl's topic in General Students

    I would agree with the stress part of the factor. I had a nurse bite my head off over something silly while in clinicals and instead of reacting with anger back, I just told her that I was sorry. 20...

  17. FAINTING...what made you drop?

    CBsMommy replied to Music_Box_Dancer's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I've fainted twice because the knee lock situation, once during my aunt's wedding and once waiting in line at an amusement park. I do get really weird feelings of woozy when studying certain things...

  18. What would you have said to this CNA

    CBsMommy replied to zofran's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Oh brother. Not only is assisting nurses in her job description, it's the title of her JOB. A Certified Nurse Assistant. Using the "N" Word is totally out of control. If someone (i.e. a patient)...

  19. guilt, kids and school is there truly a way to balance it?

    CBsMommy replied to butterfly135's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I put my son into daycare so I can work full time and still finish pre-reqs for nursing school in the evenings and the weekend. I cried the first day I dropped him off at daycare (he was only 3...

  20. I am so EXcited !! ACCEPTED

    CBsMommy replied to curlylights06's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congrats! We are in the same boat as I got accepted too for Spring 2010 and also on an alternate list. We all have to turn our letters in on June 26th to say that we accept the spot we were offered...

  21. Becoming a nurse for the money...

    CBsMommy replied to Marc86's topic in General Students

    This is a kind of slippery slope right now. If you do not like the work that a nurse does, while you may get paid well, you will also be miserable. I worked in the mortgage industry for many years...

  22. nursing care plan for HYPOKALEMIA plsss.

    CBsMommy replied to dolphyrn's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    My question is, if Hypokalemia can cause paralysis, including the lungs, wouldn't the first priority be to give someone potassium through an IV? The second would be to find a cause of the hypokalemia...

  23. Rude disruptive classmates (Vent)

    CBsMommy replied to MattiesMama's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I'm kind of confused from this thread. You say that the people who get irritated at you aren't doing anything but three people shout out the answers? If they weren't so interested in learning, how...

  24. Frustrations with Clinical

    CBsMommy replied to rachelgeorgina's topic in General Students

    I was never bored in clinical. Even if I was shadowing someone, I would just jump right in there and offered to do everything! Even if it was mopping the floors, taking trash out of every patient's...

  25. Looking for LPN school in Colorado

    CBsMommy replied to phines8098's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Congrats to you too on Fort Hays! Let us know how you did on your NCLEX and good
