    Postpartum care plans

    donsterRN replied to luv2shopp85's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Post #8, the one right above yours, addresses your request very nicely. This forum doesn't provide careplans for use as a guide; we assume you have a textbook that will do that very nicely for you....

    College Algebra in the summer, anyone?

    donsterRN replied to Nepenthe Sea's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I wish you all sorts of good luck! I also hope you get a teacher like I had. I was terrified of Algebra, and I needed it for the degree. I decided I was going to take it in the evening session, and...

    3 hours of studying per class hour???

    donsterRN replied to nurturer's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It's difficult to say with any accuracy exactly how much additional study one student might need. I've heard the "three hours of study for every hour of lecture". I've also heard "EIGHT hours of...

    Job Interview: Check Writing Legibility?

    donsterRN replied to Music in My Heart's topic in General Nursing

    I thought the post was about writing checks legibly, too! I'm a lefty, which always gets the blame for any illegibility in my handwriting. Note taking, or rather, note deciphering, in school can be a...

    Not in school, what should I study while waiting?

    donsterRN replied to springing's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I really wouldn't worry about specifics just yet (like meds and diseases); you'll be taught those in due time with the appropriate texts and lectures. Beforehand, if you really wanted to get a handle...

    What courses if any are you taking this summer?

    donsterRN replied to williams3929's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm taking Issues and Perspectives in Nursing (it's a management and leadership course that's required in my program anytime after the first year), and I'm taking Sociology. Then the minute they're...

    What courses if any are you taking this summer?

    donsterRN replied to williams3929's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Not that you asked for advice but... (that never stopped me before!!!) Take the Chem and A&P... you'll find having done the foundational work in both to be helpful in Micro. Good

    donsterRN replied to Word Perfect's topic in General Nursing

    You guys rock!!! Thanks for exposing a cheat. What amazes me is that there are people who will buy her services. Scary. Please Lord, don't let any of them work with me... And I love the "shoes on a...

    Will Somebody Please tell me it gets better as a Nurse?

    donsterRN replied to Kunzieo's topic in General Nursing

    If it is any consolation (and I know it isn't!), I think you're amazing! You have, without any doubts, the most demanding, thankless, back (and heart) breaking job in healthcare. It is clearly...

    Most outrageous thing your hospital has expected you to do.

    donsterRN replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    is biology really necessary???

    donsterRN replied to butterflies135's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    is biology really necessary???

    donsterRN replied to butterflies135's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with the premise that if you don't have to take a course, then don't. But. I would seriously consider getting a base knowledge of Chemistry, such as you find in an intro course. To me,...
