    Cupcake89121 replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Students

    Cupcake89121 replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Students

    You are overreacting. She doesn't want to write you a recommendation so now you're going to "report her" ?? That sounds incredibly childish. You should drop this because you are only going to draw...

  5. I need an Advice

    Cupcake89121 replied to lanebr85's topic in General Students

    You do not need straight A's to get into nursing school. I got a C+ in A&P I. My overall pre-req GPA was 3.5 or something like that but I can't remember now. I'm a third semester nursing student...

    Cupcake89121 replied to THELIVINGWORST's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Cupcake89121 replied to chocoberry's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  10. Best Review Book for School/NCLEX

    Cupcake89121 replied to student422's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I think posts like these are responsible for my veritable "collection" of NCLEX type books. I think I own about 10 and I haven't even started my third semester yet. Anyway, I own all of the favs and,...

  11. dealing with an unprofessional clinical instructor

    Cupcake89121 replied to mjrysmom's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  13. Help memorizing Lab values???

    Cupcake89121 replied to GamerGirL337's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    My two cents -- don't just memorize it. KNOW IT. Just like you KNOW the normal HR, B/P, RR, Temp, etc. that should be your goal for lab values. This is probably one of the reasons we have to obtain...

    Cupcake89121 replied to charli_appleRN's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Cupcake89121 replied to pinkbabe28's topic in General Students

  21. diagnosis related to lung cancer or respiratory

    Cupcake89121 replied to starrys's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Ditto what GrnTea said. If you're going to do a respiratory care plan, you need more nursing assessments that support whatever diagnosis you come up with. You mentioned some physical assessment, but...

    Cupcake89121 replied to tincan's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Cupcake89121 replied to Cupcake89121's topic in General Students

    Yes I can stay here and live with my parents. It's one of the options we are considering but the thought of living apart for most of the year is bothersome to the both of us. We are trying to avoid it...
