    notthereyet0 posted a topic in General Students

    So...our school comes to us when we started and said,"We are accelerating the degree so you are done in 2 years, but you have to go both summers." It is a BSN and soph, jun, sen, years done in 6...

  3. Any need for PDA or other misc. reference materials?

    notthereyet0 replied to momin96,98,99's topic in General Students

    Seriously wait to see if you need them. The program told us we needed PDAs for class and then we never used them. Some of the students have them and do use them, if you're really into technology and...

    notthereyet0 posted a topic in General Students

    My prof said we should have a lab reference book for med/surg, which I am sure I will end up toting to clinicals. Should I go with one like Mosby's Diagnostic and Lab test Reference or one like...

    notthereyet0 replied to notthereyet0's topic in General Students

    notthereyet0 posted a topic in General Students

  12. Electrolyte questions, not sure on answer

    notthereyet0 replied to deemarys's topic in General Students

    I think the answer to 7 should be "acid" not sure letter, 8 should be buffer, and 12 should be alkaline. Acids give off H+ and therefore you have more acid (as in stomach acid). When combined with...

    notthereyet0 posted a topic in Pediatric

    notthereyet0 replied to rholman's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know that everyone will say that algebra is really impt for thinking skills, and blah, blah, blah, but why can't they have us do a pharmacology math - dose figuring class for our math requirement....

  17. what do you wish you knew back then??

    notthereyet0 replied to NurseTeacher1's topic in General Students

    This is somewhat off topic to your question, but I wish there was a math class for doing drug dose math for a math class credit. Our school throws it in with all our other classes and seems hit or...

    Wow, I want to second the previous poster and ask if we can clone you...she is a lucky woman to have someone as thoughtful as you. I am sorry to say I don't have any suggestions...but lots of good...

  20. I need your input

    notthereyet0 replied to NS211's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    notthereyet0 replied to believeallispossible's topic in General Students

  24. Little things that keep you motivated

    notthereyet0 replied to tfleuter's topic in General Students

    One of the major motivators for me is the thought of an actual paycheck (hopefully) at the end of school, doing a job that challenges me mentally and physically, and actually having a degree that has...
