  1. How to not look so nervous at clinical

    Feels Like JD replied to MOLLBEE's topic in General Students

    An old AA/NA adage: Fake it till you make it... Your confidence will build as you overcome the

  2. Fuming Mad

    Feels Like JD replied to iamhere's topic in General Students

    That's exactly what the OP was driving at. I can't imagine the nerve it would take to do something so

    Feels Like JD replied to lilybean's topic in General Students

    That's one hell of an entrance

  4. first foundations test...

    Feels Like JD replied to shrimpchips's topic in General Students

    I'd bet dollars to doughnuts you probably read to much into the questions. I know it sounds silly, but I had a really bad habit of doing the same until an instructor taught to me give the answer to...

  5. Fuming Mad

    Feels Like JD replied to iamhere's topic in General Students

    I'm in my third semester and can't imagine anyone in any of my clinical groups behaving in such a way. You should not have let it go that easily. I would've pulled that person aside in private and...

    Feels Like JD posted a topic in General Students

    Hey everyone. As the local chapter head of the "I can't do math at gun point" lodge, I need some help. I've pretty much taught myself the basic formulas for IV dosage calc. (no small miracle)....

    Thanks for the help everyone. I have an appt. to review the exam on Mon. and will copy the prob down to post here. I think I get the problem now though after your explanations and web resources....

  8. Working backwards on Dosage Problem

    Feels Like JD replied to Feels Like JD's topic in General Students

    I'm sorry I wasn't clear. If I'm not looking to solve in terms of mL/hr, how do I solve for total time. Maybe I'm missing something

  9. Do nurses use calculators?

    Feels Like JD replied to lilybean's topic in General Students

    It's just like being back in grade school. They need to know that you could take of business if the lights went out. But in real life I can assure you, from what I've seen on the clincals I've been...

  10. New Student---NCLEX?

    Feels Like JD replied to jess8673's topic in General Students

    The big three that most of the students in my school have used are KAPLAN, Saunders, and Lippincott. I myself bought the NCLEX review in the "reviews and rationales" series because I've found their...

  11. need encouragement

    Feels Like JD replied to jenline89's topic in General Students

    Hang in there. A seventy feels like a train wreck believe me I know. Take a few deep breaths and evalute the situation. Make an appointment to check your exam. Maybe you made some easily remedied...

    i would ask your patient to describe the pain sensation in greater depth. Is there a history of abdominal injury/disease? At the very least maybe you get her to identify a usable noun like...

  14. Please help me file a grievance letter

    Feels Like JD replied to Rebel_Kitty's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Good for you!! Your perseverance is very inspirational. I have been lucky so far that my instructors have been conducive to learning. I couldn't imagine what I would do in your place though I can...

  15. If you fail one class do you fail out of nursing school?

    Feels Like JD replied to Shawnygirl003's topic in General Students

    If you're pre-req's are done than yes. I was in sem 1 year two last fall and botched med surg. I killed psych nursing and the med surg clinical. I blamed it on account of failing the med surg class...

    Feels Like JD replied to Dr.Nurse2b's topic in General Students

    Hang in there my man. The medical director of the building I work in now ( a good Doc friend of mine) told me before day one of nursing school that I (as a male) should be ready for the Estrogen...

  17. I am a Pre-Nursing student and I have several questions. Thanks in advance!

    Feels Like JD replied to DUHmanda's topic in General Students

    As far as A&P is concerned I don't think there are really any magic bullets. Read and re-read often. Review notes while in traffic or in line at the bank. Get as good a grasp on those...
