  1. Somagyi vs. Dawn

    Feels Like JD posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Got a big ole endocrine test coming up tomorrow and as I wrap up loking over my notes I found a side on the power point that I must've missed before. When discussing Diabetes Mellitus, my text...

  2. Starting all over--pipe dream or possibility?

    Feels Like JD replied to DaFreak71's topic in General Students

    Apply and see what happens. If they ask during an interview why you left the first program tell them you had family issues which were resolved when you moved. Don't let "what if's" ever hold you...

  3. My RN venture ended today.

    Feels Like JD replied to justme1972's topic in General Students

    Hey hopefull, it sucks that this part of your journey seems to be over. I've had similar complaints about my instructors from time to time. It's just like any other job: Just cuz you're a great...

  4. pinning blues

    Feels Like JD replied to flightnurse2b's topic in General Students

    Sounds like a fantastic idea. I personally am not interested in going to my pinning/graduation since I've already graduated once before. But be that as it may, I've at least tried to be helpful,...

  5. Need information on some good studying tips!

    Feels Like JD replied to RoyalNurse2010's topic in General Students

    I second picking up the NCLEX study guide. I also recommend picking up any of the books in the reviews and rationales series. They have helped me immensely. When I have to wade through a load of...

  6. Venting about classmates with families...

    Feels Like JD replied to moncj66's topic in General Students

    Not sure that can actually be quantified. It's just like assessing a patient for pain. It's what the patient says it is. And nothing else. The OP has a valid point. Just because she is single or...

  7. i forgot to wear my gloves ... Patient had Hep B

    Feels Like JD replied to Training2bRN's topic in General Students

    Exactly like a high five. Everyone's brain is entitled to a nap at some

  10. I am OUT!!

    Feels Like JD replied to sherriberry1's topic in General Students

    hey, sorry it didn't work out. Listen, no matter what you choose to do in life there will always be obstacles. School, home, job, love everything. So even though right now it feels in vain and a...

  12. HIPAA violation?

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

    We actually have to cut the demographic info off of anything we leave the floor with. So the little box with the name and acct# and stuff actually gets shredd

  13. Are we allowed to gloat here?

    Feels Like JD replied to AZO49008's topic in General Students

    Outstanding!! it's good to hear a success story on here. If we didn't have any it would make it really difficult to be able to support those who are struggling. Celebrate the day my friend, it's...

  14. Abnormal Lab Values

    Feels Like JD replied to Sunset87's topic in General Students

    In my class we had to get a manual to lab and diagnostic procedures from Pagana. If you have something similar it should have an explanation for both and low

  15. electrolytes HELP!

    Feels Like JD replied to Starfish1's topic in General Students

    I highly recommend the Fluids and Elctrolytes Reviews and Rationales book. You can get it online cheap. The CD is pretty good and there are good questions with rationales in each chapter. I used it...

  16. Students are cut-throat!

    Feels Like JD replied to livenlearn08's topic in General Students

    That sucks. My clinical/lecture groups have formed into cliques as well but it's mainly a function of who you sit closest to in a class of 70. During breaks everyone to my knowledge is cordial and...

  17. PH levels

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

    Not sure what you need? Are you having trouble remembering the ranges or what the effects of acidosis/alkalosis would have on systems? Be a little more specific and I'm sure we can get you...

  18. I flunked and Got back in, now what?

    Feels Like JD replied to 12breakfree's topic in General Students

    Hey I'm in a similar boat. I tanked med-surg 1 last fall and just got back in. The only way I've made it through was to take things mortally serious this go around. Last year I just kinda coasted...

  19. Fluid and Electrolytes Made Incredibly Easy question

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

    You might want to check out the Fluid and Elec. from the reviews and rationale series. The CD is fantastic and the 20 some odd questions in chapter are really good too. Not to mention I think the...

  20. Can't we all get along: ADN, BSN, MN, NP...?

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

    JBudd, your sig quote sent a shiver up my spine. I wish everyone understood

  21. Well, I think I just flunked out of nursing school today.

    Feels Like JD replied to justme1972's topic in General Students

    I passed maternity with a 77.3. Yup. 0.3 points between me and the reaper. Never give up, never give in. Skipping clinical is a bad call. When I was in the same boat in med-surg I asked my...

  22. Help 1st year RN student WITH TEST TAKING SKILLS

    Feels Like JD replied to Russian-SN's topic in General Students

    +1 Once I gave up memorizing facts and committed to understand concepts/patho my scores increased big time. Can't speak to the study guides but I can say this: Read everything in question slowly and...

  23. Can't we all get along: ADN, BSN, MN, NP...?

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

    Kill em with kindness like my mom always said, And then show them up with skill on the field like my dad always said after my mom walked

  24. Passed my first fundamentals exam!!!

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

    Congrats!! And keep it up. I hate those "two right answer kind of tests". Some of my med-surg exams have four right answers. Good to learn early how to pick the most right one you can. Again...

  25. Hints on Pharmacology

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

    Amy, it seems a bunch of people (myself included) could benefit from your study guides/notes. Think you post them here instead of having to sendout zillionz of messages to people in need?
