  1. STCC anyone?

    TessaMae replied to Chaoticdreams33's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    thanks

  2. STCC anyone?

    TessaMae replied to Chaoticdreams33's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I was thinking if I did approach her I would say that I just wanted to explain my rationale so I can see where I went wrong in my line of thinking- which is the truth, not to say it wouldn't be nice...

  3. STCC anyone?

    TessaMae replied to Chaoticdreams33's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    THATS A BUMMER (ABOUT THE ANSWER CHANGING) I TOTALLY AGREE THAT ROLE PLAYING IS A GREAT WAY FOR KIDS TO LEARN AND IT WAS MY FIRST THOUGHT BUT C GOT ME THINKING ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF INVOLVING THE...

  4. Paper due and clueless about APA style research papers!

    TessaMae posted a topic in General Students

    Ok so I am begining to think I have the worst topic ever! I need to find research articles (evidenced based) on promoting health: preventing vitamin D deficiency in elderly/nursing home patients. I...

  5. STCC anyone?

    TessaMae replied to Chaoticdreams33's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I think the question was #26 It was about teaching kids or adolescents ( I don't even remember what we were teaching them). The correct answer was A. role play I understand that because it says in our...

  6. STCC anyone?

    TessaMae replied to Chaoticdreams33's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I was stumped on that question too but then I remembered Prof P saying like three times that you need to think about ending the relationship as soon as you start it. My mind started wandering and then...

  8. What is the biggest piece of advice you have for nursing students?

    TessaMae replied to ton343's topic in General Nursing

  9. Why would people choose to go to a NURSE PRACTITIONER as opposed to a physician?

    TessaMae replied to MedicalDreams's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I don't think anyone was trying to undermind you intelligence or integrity. Both will be doctors of their practice but the way you said it was "Some NP's are doctors. By 2015 all NP's will have to be...

  10. Why would people choose to go to a NURSE PRACTITIONER as opposed to a physician?

    TessaMae replied to MedicalDreams's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I understand that completely, I was trying to correct the person who said in 2015 NP will be doctors. You did it much better!

  11. Second week leaning injections and I am a little worried/confused/nervous!

    TessaMae posted a topic in General Students

    First let me say that I realize I wrote "leaning" not "learning" in my title but it wont let me fix it! Ok well my title probably made it seem worse than it is but I do have a dilema. (I put my actual...

    TessaMae replied to TessaMae's topic in General Students

  15. UMass Accerated

    TessaMae replied to bano.bsn's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Hi, I am from the Amherst area and the rent rates are very high for our area (if your from the Boston area you might not think so) I would say around $1000 a month plus utilities for a small nice...

  16. Second week leaning injections and I am a little worried/confused/nervous!

    TessaMae replied to TessaMae's topic in General Students

    Thanks for the video clips. How aspiration was demonstrated made alot more sense than how our instructor was showing us. She was putting the palmar side of her hand flat onto the skin and pulling it...

  17. How I take a test and get an A

    TessaMae replied to TessaMae's topic in General Students

    someone else mentioned something that i completely agree with and helps tremendously. your professors know what is on the exams, pay attention to cues they give. some professors are more obvious...

  18. How I take a test and get an A

    TessaMae replied to TessaMae's topic in General Students

  19. How I take a test and get an A

    TessaMae replied to TessaMae's topic in General Students

  20. How I take a test and get an A

    TessaMae replied to TessaMae's topic in General Students

    I think as far as reading the whole chapter it depends on how you learn, how your instructor sets up the exam and how much time you have. I personally don't have a need to read the entire chapter...

  21. Heart Sounds and Stethoscope

    TessaMae replied to JillFRN's topic in General Students

    I have a littmann and as far as the eartips go, you have to pull much harder than you would think to get them off. The only downside to the smaller ones are that they are hard. I have small ear...

  22. Can I sue this nursing instructor?

    TessaMae replied to AnneMarieRN's topic in General Students

    I think what happened to you is awful but I have to play devil's advocate here. Is it possible that your professor wasn't being nice and offering to chat with you about what is going on in your life....

  23. How do I find out if any schools are trying to gain accredidation?

    TessaMae posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Ok, this must seem like a silly question, but you can easily find out information about new schools that are trying to gain accredidation for nursing programs, is this information available for CRNA...

    TessaMae replied to TessaMae's topic in General Students

    Our school gave us a great book on APA style formatting and I thank everyone who has given websites to help me with it, I looked at them quickly and I think that they will be helpful. The thing is I...
