  1. Is this okay? Exam score

    Cupcake89121 replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Students

    No, it is an awful score. You should be ashamed of yourself. How dare you sully our nursing student discussion with your B. We are all straight A nursing students

  2. CV Disorder Critical Thinking Case Study

    Cupcake89121 posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Hello everyone! I love this message board and have learned so much from all of the experienced RNs and eager students over the past year. I am in my 2nd semester and working on an extra-credit...

  3. CV Disorder Critical Thinking Case Study

    Cupcake89121 replied to Cupcake89121's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  4. Nursing Care Plan

    Cupcake89121 replied to beka22's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Do you get a Nursing Dx book in your program? Impaired Oral mucous membrane r/t fluid deficit could be one. Fatigue could be another but the dehydration is probably the cause for the

  5. CSN Spring 2012 question

  6. Working while in the RN full-time track program???

    Cupcake89121 replied to joianett's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Ditto what Tree5981 said. I just finished 1st semester and there were people in my class that work full time, part time, 2-3 part time jobs, have kids, etc. I completely admire those people because I...

  7. CSN Fall 2011 rn program

    Cupcake89121 replied to jessel's topic in Nevada Nursing

    All parts of town. My LTC was in Summerlin and Sub-Acute was right next to the school. I wouldn't worry too much about where the clinicals are until you receive your assignment. You have no way of...

  8. Biol 189 @ Ccsn

    Cupcake89121 replied to checkmate's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Hate to tell you this guys but if you are seriously struggling that badly with your Bio pre-reqs then you are going to have a heck of a time once you get into nursing classes. I just finished my 1st...

  9. Nclex RN June 2011 lets study together.

    Cupcake89121 replied to Gold2010's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I believe 3 is incorrect b/c the IV could easily be pulled out if near a joint. I could be wrong though, I'm just a lowly almost done with 1st semester nursing

    Cupcake89121 replied to jessel's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Alcohol is a legal substance and it's not like you're abusing it so I really doubt it would be an issue. If you take a prescription drug though you may get a phone call from the drug screen company. I...

  11. CSN Fall 2011 rn program

    Cupcake89121 replied to jessel's topic in Nevada Nursing

    All you do is sit there and listen to/take in lots of information. Bring a pen and some paper because you might want to write some of the stuff down. You do get a lunch break too

  13. After Taking The NCLEX...I Passed My 5th Time!

    Cupcake89121 replied to Truly_Blessed_RN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I have taken plenty of NCLEX style exams be it through my nursing school, ATI, or doing it myself online. If it takes me five tries to meet the most minimum of safety requirements as a nurse, I might...

  14. After Taking The NCLEX...I Passed My 5th Time!

    Cupcake89121 replied to Truly_Blessed_RN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    #1 - I love Slobgob #2 - I do not know how anyone can spend all that clinical time in nursing school, and then be terrible when they get on the floor for their first job. Additionally, I do not know...

    A couple of my friends took online pharm and said they didn't like it. It's different for everyone

  16. metabolic acidosis question

    Cupcake89121 replied to sunset2hearty's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'm going to say...metabolic acidosis leads to hyperventilation as a compensatory mechanism. Hyperventilation -- increased HR -- more blood pumping around -- warm and flushed skin. I'm not sure if...

  17. Struggle with pre-reqs, and go on to be successful??

    Cupcake89121 replied to MelissaLynn's topic in General Students

    Hello Everyone, I got into nursing school with a 3.4ish. I believe you are doing yourself a disservice if you obsesses over GPA minutiae in nursing school. God forbid if you drop from a pre-req GPA of...

  18. Study tips for Pharm

    Cupcake89121 replied to MelissaLynn's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Different things work for different people. It takes me a minute or two to make a flash card. I don't see why it would take any longer than that. I have plenty of time to make and read flash cards,...

  19. CSN Spring 2012 question

    Cupcake89121 replied to michellegookin's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I took Bio 224, Statistics, and Chem 110 @ NSC and found them to be way easier than my Algebra and Biology classes at CSN. Even so, I still learned a lot. The class size is significantly smaller and I...

  20. Is "Ineffective Health Maintainence" (individual or family) psychosocial dx?

    Cupcake89121 replied to cogath's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    LOL @ heavenbound, it looks like you and I (and probably every other 1st semester nursing student) are in the same boat! I would like to toot my own horn though and say that I am impressed with the...

  21. CSN Fall 2011 rn program

    Cupcake89121 replied to jessel's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I, personally, am really weary of for profit schools like that. They are ridiculously expensive and you can't be sure if the credits will transfer. Also I feel like most of their nursing programs are...

  22. Is "Ineffective Health Maintainence" (individual or family) psychosocial dx?

    Cupcake89121 replied to cogath's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    According to Appendix C in my Nursing Diagnosis Handbook, yes it can be pyschosocial. I also think it sounds like a good dx for what you described but I am just finishing up my first semester so what...

  23. CSN Fall 2011 rn program

    Cupcake89121 replied to jessel's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Your physicals, tests, etc. need to take you through to the end of the semester, December 15th. I'm not sure what your deadlines will be but, if you can, I would wait until June because then your...

  24. CSN Fall 2011 rn program

    Cupcake89121 replied to jessel's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I think it's nurs285 but you have to be accepted into the nursing program before you are able to enroll in those classes. If you took College Algebra or higher then you should be fine not having taken...
