  1. z track injection

    J9G2008 replied to irongirl73's topic in General Students

    For us too, if the needle is 1 1/2 inches, we are z-tracking

  2. I'm starting clinicals...

    J9G2008 replied to toya1908's topic in General Students

    The thing to remember is this, because I spent way too long at the beginning of the semester all freaked out: They're gonna teach you EVERYTHING you need to know. Be a sponge, read the material, but...

  3. A Nursing Scholarship Question

    J9G2008 replied to cjcsoon2bnp's topic in General Students

    Yes, because you are not an RN yet, the classes you are taking are "pre-RN" and you are working toward licensure. At least, that's how I would look at

  4. Alternative to spanking

    J9G2008 replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Nursing

    This reminds me: the hospital where my son gets care has a sign up saying "This Is A No-Hitting Zone!" I looked at the nurse and asked, "So, if my kid really ****** me off, can you direct me to the...

  5. What is your graduation gift?

    J9G2008 replied to LovingLearning's topic in General Students

    My goal is to FINALLY take my family on a real vacation...with hotels, and airplanes, and really nice meals. I am leaning toward Walt Disney World, and am hoping that my by-then 15 yo son will not...

  6. Nurse or Hairstylist?

    J9G2008 replied to sassiebaz's topic in General Students

    FWIW, I have three kids-13, 9, and 3. For the ones in school, it's not that big of a deal. I do homework, they do homework. It's actually a nice bonding time with my son-me on my side of the bed with...

  7. A & B students!!!

    J9G2008 replied to TWUness1's topic in General Students

    Basically, on Saturdays and Sundays, I work through the module for the upcoming week...I don't really read whole chapters. I also look over the lab info for the upcoming week, and if it's a checkoff...

  8. Pharmacology & Dosage Calc Tests - What did you have to know?

    J9G2008 replied to Gabesmomma's topic in General Students

    We had to do a computer program on pharmacology, and that really covered all we needed to know for pharm. Math was pretty straightforward-ratio and proportion, some conversions, s/a one ounce=30mL, 1...

  9. What is the point of nursing exams?

    J9G2008 replied to avatar78's topic in General Students

    Our nursing tests seem to be less about theory and more about application (well, except for the theory class! : ) So, my thinking is that it helps us become better critical thinkers to be given, say,...

  10. Assessment

    J9G2008 replied to Yalith's topic in General Students

    In our clinicals, we are expected to do the complete cephalocaudal assessment, and complete an assessment guide based on that with any abnormals highlighted (7 pages). The assessment guide also...

  11. Dementia specific Dining

    J9G2008 replied to michael79's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Macaroni and cheese, goulash, beef stroganoff w/ meat cut really small and maybe elbow mac instead of big noodles, french toast sticks, waffle

  12. Need help from you creative people

    J9G2008 replied to astronautswife's topic in General Students

    For background music, you could play "Bleeding Love" by Leona Lewis. Sorry, I couldn't

  13. Am I the only one??

    J9G2008 replied to newbie08's topic in General Students

    I think that it's never a bad idea to strengthen bonds with classmates. If a drink and some appetizers are involved, so much the better! It's nice that they asked you to join them. I'd go at least...

  14. husbands that won't help

    J9G2008 replied to tolerantgirl's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know how long you've been married, but it sounds to me like you need to be a little more direct. I, as a woman, think that everyone else should see the overflowing laundry basket and pitch in....

  15. How many of you were older when you went into nursing?

    J9G2008 replied to ohcomeon's topic in General Nursing

    I just turned 38-been home 9 years, youngest kid is 2 1/2. He is the reason I decided to become a nurse. Lots of health problems from birth on. I always say that I wish I had done this straight out of...

  16. Nurse practitioners and Crna

    J9G2008 replied to meyun06's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know much, since I'm just starting school on the 21st; however: I know a couple from church who are friends encouraging me to go CRNA as soon as I can. Apparently, the rules are due to change...

  17. HFCC alums or current students

    J9G2008 replied to J9G2008's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Thanks! I think that I will just get a heavy duty shoulder bag and deal with the weight. At least I will be able to use it longer, even after school is

  18. HFCC alums or current students

    J9G2008 posted a topic in Michigan Nursing

    So, do I really need a rolling backpack for class? I have looked at a few threads, and asked one girl, who said she always took a bunch of books to class, and definitely needed the rolling pack. But...

  19. HFCC or WCCCD????

    J9G2008 replied to Erica2BRN612's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I got on the list for HFCC in Oct 2007, and I was called in May for Fall 08. It wasn't nearly as long as I had thought. I also preferred HFCC's campus vs. WCCCD. It seems a little more updated to
