Hey guys, so we had a chiropractor come in to talk to our class today, and he said we should not give our kids vaccinations, and we should tell our patients (clients) that vaccinations are dangerous. I agree that some vaccinations may have some dange...

Thanks! I was getting so confused and having trouble understanding the thing about the cilia, but it makes sense the way that you said it. Thanks for helping clear those two questions up for me!

Hey everybody, I just had a quick question. I have been reading the ATI book to study for the NCLEX (even though I am only in my first term out of 5 terms) and there was something about charting that I had a question on. I was just wondering, when yo...

Hey guys, I am having trouble understanding how to write out my full care plan, I don't know why I am having so much trouble. I was wondering if anyone knew of anywhere like any websites or anything that has something where you can practice doing a c...

Ok, so I am currently in the practical nursing program at my college. I have always wanted to specialize more in the psych field than be on a peds floor or er or or or cardiac, if you understand what I mean. I was just wondering if LPN's are accepted...

I just wanted to comment on the person who said they were told to inflate the cuff to 180....I am currently in nursing school and we were told NEVER to pump it up over 160 when doing the 1-step BP. Only if you need to go that far after doing the 2-st...

I am the only person in my class with an A right now, so I have most of my class coming to me to ask me how I am studying. I basically just make sure I go over all the material in the chapter review and then the nclex practice questions in our chapte...

Hey guys, I just wanted to ask and see if anyone is using or has used the ATI NCLEX exam prep course? They're giving it to us as part of our curriculum at my school, but I was just wondering if anyone that has already taken the NCLEX exam found that ...

You shouldn't worry about not being able to get high grades. I have straight A's and I'm in nursing school. Hang in there and good luck!!

As long as it's approved by the board of nursing there is no need to worry about whether or not they will let you take the nclex-pn

I know this is how it goes with my school (Kaplan University): 1ST TERM (10 WEEKS): 4 days of class: 8:30-10:30 & 10:40-3:30 2ND TERM (10 WEEKS): 2 days of class & 2 days of clinical: CLINICAL IS @ LONGTERM CARE FACILITIES-MAINLY DOING PHYSI...

I know everyone thinks this is so cruel, but when you can't tell what someone is thinking beyond that communication barrier, how can you determine that he is not fighting to live underneath everything else that is going on? I suffered from a TBI over...

Before I started nursing school, I had to deal with all of the attempted suicides and everything not only working as an EMT, but also as a weekend Psych Tech. It is very very hard not to react the way that you did at first, but it only means you care...

I can't stand it either. There are 2 people who CONSTANTLY get up and leave to talk on their cell phone or else they are texting all througout the lecture. Especially today when we were in the skills lab, and doing a lab experiment with hygiene and m...

Hey everyone, I went into Nursing foundations/medical terminology today and found out that one of our class members already dropped out. (Our 1st term only just started on November 5th.) I was actually sad to hear that she had dropped out. I was just...

See, but I guess I could just never understand really what those people mean when they say those things. I enjoy even being a student nurse. I mean, I know we just started last Thursday, but we are already taking vitals, doing pulses on each other, a...

I just wanted to tell you congrats!! I was laughing at some of the things you said, because it totally explains the relationship and the things that are happening within my class right now. By the way, I hope your speech came out well. I am sure it d...

Hey, I actually go to Kaplan in Omaha, Nebraska. Kaplan has a lot more hands-on experience and more one-on-one time with your instructors. Kaplan is a little more pricey than some community colleges, but with their accelerated programs you can be don...

Now some things that you said simply do not make sense...If you went through nursing school, you should have passed the CNA level. I know at my school, we actually get our CNA and CMA licenses as we are going through the course. I have worked as an E...

One of the girls in my nursing skills class actually just asked that question on Thursday. Here is what the instructor told her. She said, "If you think you're going to throw up, don't worry about it, or else you will. You need to just do the procedu...

Hey, just in case they decide not to let you into that program, the university I go to doesn't require you to have any prerequisites. I go to Kaplan University and there are campuses all over the place. Maybe you should check it out! Good luck:nurse:...

My advice to you would be to stay in high school for the regular amount of time. Although you may be dying to get out like you say, when you look back on it later, you will wish you had stayed there longer. Nursing school (at least where I am attendi...

First off, please don't get too worried about the HESI. It's not as bad as you think it's going to be. (Take it from me, I just took it before starting my nursing program, and I made it through.) For Fractions, you need to know addition, subtraction,...

Well, ever since I was a little girl and most people were playing with their barbies pretending to have families and playing house with them and whatnot, my cousin Kelly and I have been putting bandages on the dolls and stuffed animals, giving them s...

When I first started the admissions process, I had to declare which areas I wanted to focus on for my clinicals, and that's without even being accepted yet! I told them psych, ER, and peds. I am just soooo glad to finally be a nursing student, I am n...
