  1. Need your help - trying to change school policy

    medicrn16 replied to CrystalShip's topic in General Students

    I am part of a transition program (1 year) for LPNs, medics, and RTs. I am a medic. We have to achieve a 78% by the end of the semester to go on. If you fall below that, you are on academic probation...

  2. help-i'm a student who failed a drug test

    medicrn16 replied to chloe79's topic in General Students

    Trendy, you are not being offensive at all. I just thought it was interesting. The three servings of poppy bagels was given as an example to NOVARN because I called a bluff. Actually, one of the...

  3. help-i'm a student who failed a drug test

    medicrn16 replied to chloe79's topic in General Students

    I apologize for any misinformation I may have put out there. This caused me to do some research...here it goes: FutureNOVARN, no I have not seen the show MythBusters, however, MythBusters did prove...

  4. help-i'm a student who failed a drug test

    medicrn16 replied to chloe79's topic in General Students

    If it is that important to you, then perhaps you could offer to pay for the repeat test at your own expense. That might get their attention. Also, certain foods will cause false positives, i.e....

  5. "Nursing students with C's are still nurses".. ?

    medicrn16 replied to whiteoleander5's topic in General Students

    Stanley, this doesn't really have anything to do with grades, but there is a doc at our Level I who has a bit of a 'Napoleon' syndrome...gruff, not very 'nice', demands perfection from everyone from...

  6. "Nursing students with C's are still nurses".. ?

    medicrn16 replied to whiteoleander5's topic in General Students

    Oakbourne, actually I think the craziest post I've ever read was 'do I really have to wear a bra to work???' (just to lighten things up a bit)...:w00t: God bless us

  7. "Nursing students with C's are still nurses".. ?

    medicrn16 replied to whiteoleander5's topic in General Students

    Livingthedream...thought this (quote) was you attempting to prove your point. While I understand what you were trying to say (and during this discussion I have not disagreed with you or anyone who...

  9. "Nursing students with C's are still nurses".. ?

    medicrn16 replied to whiteoleander5's topic in General Students

    I have to say that 'clinical thinking' has come up quite a bit and with respect to what 'Stanley' said earlier about good test takers doing good on ALL types of exams, I am an A-student, however these...

  10. "Nursing students with C's are still nurses".. ?

    medicrn16 replied to whiteoleander5's topic in General Students

    BabyLady...this is a very true statement you made. I don't believe anyone else has addressed this, but I believe it's a fair thing to say. In my class we started with 42 in a short summer...

  11. Just Started School & Pregnant

    medicrn16 replied to Star33's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    We just had a girl deliver from our class this semester. She came into the program showing and worked her butt off. We had two different clinical groups in class. They helped her by letting her...

  12. "Nursing students with C's are still nurses".. ?

    medicrn16 replied to whiteoleander5's topic in General Students

    I loved the post earlier that said 'build each other up...learn from each other...don't tear each other down.' Perfect. I am a straight-A student. I am also 40 y/o (black balloons on my b-day last...

  13. Older Nursing Students

    medicrn16 replied to Neats's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    CateRavenwing: I feel your pain, truly I posted way earlier on this thread...my husband has early-onset dementia. I have a 15 y/o who just started high school this year. I am the type that if my...

  14. What do we REALLY need to be successful during school?

    medicrn16 replied to blessedx2's topic in General Students

    As you read, keep in mind that I am a very Type-A person...so laugh all you want, truly. :loveya: Anyway, I found that using different colored paper helped me to stay organized. I use red for...

  15. Nursing Diagnosis based on perscribed drugs

    medicrn16 replied to OldShoesRock's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Daytonite, This was great! However, I have one question. Since D5 1/2 NS is a hypertonic solution, then how is it used for isotonic hydration? Won't this solution pull fluid from the cells into...

  16. Help! Dig error, accused of lying?

    medicrn16 replied to queenjane's topic in General Students

    From what I understood in her post, she was GOING to give dig w/o checking apical pulse, because the teacher reminded her...so they consider that a med error, though the instructor kept her from...

  17. Help! Dig error, accused of lying?

    medicrn16 replied to queenjane's topic in General Students

    I wish I could help more. Has this instructor ever done anything like this before? It does seem rather odd that she is behaving this way. I do not understand why some feel it is okay to badger and...

  18. Help! Dig error, accused of lying?

    medicrn16 replied to queenjane's topic in General Students

    Hey QueenJane, I am a student, too, so this really isn't 'advice' per se...but as soon as I read your post I reviewed my Student Policy Handbook to see what it said about med errors. First and...

  19. Nursing Diagnosis based on perscribed drugs

    medicrn16 replied to OldShoesRock's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    That is so odd what your teacher said!!! If r/t is not etiology, then what in the world is it r/t??? Did anyone ask your teacher that? I'd be interested to know what she said. You are right about...

  20. Older Nursing Students

    medicrn16 replied to Neats's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    WOW! Has this thread taken off...so nice to know about all of us 'oldies' out there. My name is Caci and I'm turning 40 in less than a month (EEEEK!). I am just a child at heart. I went to EMT...

  21. Nursing Diagnosis based on perscribed drugs

    medicrn16 replied to OldShoesRock's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    The only thing I see that would be difficult to use is 'as evidenced by' since you are only given meds and not any objective/subjective info. A couple that come to mind are: Impaired gas exchanged...

    medicrn16 replied to standout22's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I am printing this and putting in my notes for my final. Excellent!

  23. Potassium and Insulin Relationship

    medicrn16 replied to standout22's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Hey Standout...we JUST had a test on this two weeks ago, lol. Hardest dang test I ever took. Basically, insulin reduces serum K+ from ECF to ICF mainly because insulin increases the activity of the...
