  10. IVP Rates

    Java Mama replied to Java Mama's topic in General Students

    Thank you all for your comments. When they were "explaining" this to us, they made it seem SO much harder. If they would have just showed it this way, I would have understood it. Thanks again, I...

    I figured that's how it's done in the real world, but we have to calculate this and perform it in our check-offs for clinical, so that is why I wanted to know if there is an easy way to figure it out....

  13. Disappointed by my first vital sign check-off.

    Java Mama posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    So we had our first vital sign check-off today and I didn't pass by 2 points, so that means I have a 1 hour mandatory practice scheduled, then I retake it. I thought I had it down pat and then when it...

  21. Head to to assessment

    Java Mama replied to Java Mama's topic in General Students

    Hi Gamergirl, Yes, our group is practicing on the manequins as much as possible. It still seems like so much to verbalize and demonstrate at the same time with the instructor watching. I guess I...
