  1. Most useful Pre-reqs

    LovingLearning replied to acubed's topic in General Students

    In addition to those mentioned, I took Physics. Surprised myself and got an A...and it comes in handy. It's not directly RN school related, but I understand things better and techniques come more...

    LovingLearning posted a topic in General Students

    notes from first year on the floor at los angeles county rn school... things to tell your patients: ~if you have a whoopsy stomach at the sight of blood, don't lean over and watch me change the...

  3. Strange experience yesterday, feedback please...

    LovingLearning posted a topic in General Students

    First, I didn't get into any difficulty or trouble. Phew. LOL. But this experience has me a bit baffled... I'm a second semester student, doing a med/surg rotation on a trauma/neuro floor. I am...

  4. Swine flu raises fear of pandemic - Adults and Children

    LovingLearning replied to oramar's topic in Disaster Preparation

    In re: changing the level to 4...there are a whole lot of economic implications with level 4 and above; large companies have plans to deal with things like this, which include closing operations, and...

  5. Swine flu raises fear of pandemic - Adults and Children

    LovingLearning replied to oramar's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Ditto...Nebraska it is for me too. It is a great book. I'd rather it stay in fictional land, though. I've been doing a lot of reading about this today; it seems there is a lot of concern, and the...

  6. Oh! The sacrifices we make just to get through nursing school

    LovingLearning replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    What have I sacrificed for NS? My sanity. But I have to say, it's worth it. Being sane wasn't too much fun anyway, and I don't actually miss it **too** much. Best- Lovin'

  7. Strange experience yesterday, feedback please...

    LovingLearning replied to LovingLearning's topic in General Students

    I just wanted to update the thread... Spring break, and that rotation has been successfully completed. I had my evals by my professor, and nowhere on the evaluation was any comment about this...

  8. Strange experience yesterday, feedback please...

    LovingLearning replied to LovingLearning's topic in General Students

    Thanks for the support, you guys...I appreciate it a lot. There has been zero issues regarding this event, literally NONE. Apparently, no complaints from staff, none from my instructor, and none...

  9. please i need your prayers

    LovingLearning replied to tigger2sassy1's topic in General Nursing

    Hugs, love and prayers to you, as you start this new part of your life. You are not alone; God sees, knows, and holds each dream and tear in His hands. Your beloved is watching you through the holes...

  10. My pt dies on me in clinicals... and.

    LovingLearning replied to Age1's topic in General Students

    Just wondering how you're doing? Despite my fear that I was going to have nightmares, I haven't, at least not yet. I will say I'm taking a lot of good natured teasing from my colleagues, but that's...

  11. I have a few questions I really need help with 3/6/09

    LovingLearning replied to hlwood08's topic in General Students

    She's not going to help you because you need to learn how to break down a question...I'm learning that, too. 1. If a patient has pneumonia and becomes restless: vital signs are T 100F, P 110, RR 28,...

  12. Strange experience yesterday, feedback please...

    LovingLearning replied to LovingLearning's topic in General Students

    Hey back, All Star... Thanks a bunch. With this instructor, he is all about applying the nursing process, and doing what needs to get done - as long as we stay within the parameters of what the...

  13. Strange experience yesterday, feedback please...

    LovingLearning replied to LovingLearning's topic in General Students

    I hear you. Bear in mind I wasn't running down the hall screaming or anything. I was also a little startled when the charge nurse said "well, call the Dr. and let him know." But I hear you....

  14. Strange experience yesterday, feedback please...

    LovingLearning replied to LovingLearning's topic in General Students

    Thanks, Nurse educator. I was concerned enough to go through the chart, check allergies (both chart and with the patient and her oldest daughter), take vitals and look at last labs, pull my med book...

  15. Strange experience yesterday, feedback please...

    LovingLearning replied to LovingLearning's topic in General Students

    Daytonite said I don't know which rules I broke? I asked the staff rn twice to help the patient, and asked her what I should do to start the process. She declined to either give me instructions or...

  16. Need encouragement and advice

    LovingLearning replied to nurse2b2010's topic in General Students

    I don't think you should give up...you've got a lot going on right now, between the struggles with studying and with your father's health issues on top of it. Take the break, but don't give up... And...

  17. My pt dies on me in clinicals... and.

    LovingLearning replied to Age1's topic in General Students

    Seeing as I had my first post mortem care tonight, and it was a very similar situation...all I can say is I'm right there with you (he wasn't my patient, though...). After we were done, I nearly...

  18. Strange experience yesterday, feedback please...

    LovingLearning replied to LovingLearning's topic in General Students

    Let me clarify a few things...in my first post, Daytonite, I stated clearly that my instructor let me into the pyxis, and that he was aware something was afoot, but didn't have all the details but...

  19. Strange experience yesterday, feedback please...

    LovingLearning replied to LovingLearning's topic in General Students

    First, let's clarify the stairs issue. We can go DOWN them, but cannot go UP them (except to the roof...). They do not exit into the hospital or on floors, but rather outside the hospital, and thus...

  20. how do you manage your time in RN school?

    LovingLearning replied to mashamontago's topic in General Students

    I do it a bit differently. I have separate binders for each topic, and the syllabus is three holed and put in right off. Then, as the lecture occurs, I put notes, PPs, and other handouts behind the...

  21. Need advice on how to study for RN school exams

    LovingLearning replied to McNabK9's topic in General Students

    I've found reading the whole question to be really important...figuring out what's being asked for, instead of just going by gut response. For example, a question on my last test read: "Jim has to...

  22. It's starting to 'come together'....

    LovingLearning posted a topic in General Students

    It's starting to come together, I think...thank God for that. I'm in second semester, and I have a rocking professor and clinical group/assignment. It's tough, but I'm lovin' it. But on Wednesday,...

  23. It's starting to 'come together'....

    LovingLearning replied to LovingLearning's topic in General Students

    Thanks, you guys...I just feel so good that I can feel this stuff starting to come together. The muddle of first semester, the f/e of second...and all the stuff in between, have managed to find space...

  24. It's starting to 'come together'....

    LovingLearning replied to LovingLearning's topic in General Students

    Tn Butterfly, thank you. I dunno if I was right, but it was enough that the Dr. wrote new orders...addressing all of my concerns (eg the haldol, the effusion...). Rbezemek, I don't know if I saved...

  25. What I learned at rotation this week.

    LovingLearning posted a topic in General Students

    I had a great week, filled with learning things. I even taught a patient a thing or two they didn't already know. Like: ~If you have a whoopsy stomach at the sight of blood, don't lean over and watch...
