  10. My scrub pants are killing me!

    polka-dot replied to Elizabeth Renee's topic in General Students

    The cherokee cheapo brand our hospital buys for us did the same thing to me! Have you tried Koi brand? They're 100% cotton (or close to it) and super comfy. Body Glide is a good idea,

  11. Best way to study for Pharmacology?

    polka-dot replied to jarielle22's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I did something kind of silly, but it really worked for me...I made up little stories about the psych drugs so that I could keep all of the side effects straight. For instance, here's what I wrote for...

    polka-dot replied to polka-dot's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    polka-dot replied to polka-dot's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    polka-dot replied to comingback's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    He is screening positive for sepsis....infection makes old folks delirious. I agree...stabilize first, worry about mentation later. If you don't know his mental status baseline, it's hard to say if...

  18. failed first nursing test

    polka-dot replied to dawnand1son's topic in General Students

    The thing with nursing school exams (and the NCLEX) is that often ALL the answers are correct...but one is MORE correct. You'll get used to it! What works the best is to study NCLEX questions...

    polka-dot replied to KBICU's topic in Post Graduate Students
