  1. Finals week anxiety

    bhanson replied to rusonRG's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Go exercise. It will relieve some of your stress and promote optimal study

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

    bhanson replied to MelissaLynn's topic in General Students

    This. If you struggle in pre-reqs there is almost no chance you'll be an A student in nursing school. Nursing school assumes you have a very good working knowledge of everything in the pre-reqs....

  3. nursing care plan help

    bhanson replied to alliebeans's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Pain is not a nursing diagnosis. You'll probably want to use Acute Pain. How does abdominal surgery increase the risk for infection? How does an IV increase the risk of infection? How does a foley...

  4. My situtation (adn vs. bsn)

    bhanson replied to havehope's topic in General Students

    If your school is paid for, you don't have to work, and you plan to go on to higher education then you should do your BSN right now. People choose ADN because it is cheaper, you start working faster,...

  5. How much reading is required?

    bhanson replied to RedChair's topic in General Students

    Most textbooks are also very verbose. It may take 1 or 2 pages to explain a concept that can be summarized in a few

  6. Drive or Fly

    bhanson replied to heather.f's topic in General Students

    It sounds like you are in a stable financial situation. Knowing what I know about nursing school I would not be okay with driving 350 miles a week. If you fly at the very least you can sleep or...

  7. Risk For NANDA (Care Plan)

    bhanson replied to EricBookNSCyp's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    This misunderstanding is part of the reason why some nursing professors prefer to use "as manifested by" instead of "as evidenced by" for your nursing diagnoses. An actual nursing diagnosis is made up...

  8. I NEED to know learn how to study for nursing classes!

    bhanson replied to tarotale's topic in General Students

    You're not being tested on knowledge. The expectation is that everyone knows everything. You're being tested on the recall and application of that knowledge in a given situation. There are two ways...

  9. What subject or subjects would you take out

    bhanson replied to johnny depp23's topic in General Nursing

    Everything, okay almost everything you take is there for a reason. As someone already explained the pre-req courses specific for your nursing program are probably all directly relevant. If you are...

  10. how long does it take you to leave work

    bhanson replied to cnamommyto2's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    You're taking a sentence, ripping it completely out of context, and then ignoring everything else and in the process completely missing the point. If you re-read my posts it is clear that the...

  11. For Nightshift Nurses...

    bhanson replied to Katie5's topic in General Nursing

    I practice this. I don't care if I'm 1 mile away from home I'll take a nap on the side of the road

  12. how long does it take you to leave work

    bhanson replied to cnamommyto2's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    What I actually see is people standing around in the break room doing nothing waiting for :08 to roll around. They will ignore call lights during this time and zoom out as soon as the time system...

  13. how long does it take you to leave work

    bhanson replied to cnamommyto2's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    How is it not cheating them? Here's a standard "round to the nearest 15 minutes" time clock schedule: Key: :08-22 = :15 :23-37 = :30 :38-52 = :45 :53-07 = :00 Optimal clock-in time is at :22, :37,...

  14. LVN to MD

    bhanson replied to amtpl's topic in General Nursing

    Almost the entirety of this post is INCORRECT. Facts: Some medical schools do not require a bachelors degree Most medical schools do, but it could be in underwater basket weaving for all they care...

  15. interventions for NIV

    bhanson replied to domabrtary's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    NIC lists 38 possible interventions for Mechanical Ventilation Management: Noninvasive [3302]. Too many for me to type, but here are a few. Monitor patient’s progress on current ventilator...

  16. frustrated

    bhanson replied to amymina's topic in General Students

    Are they missing clinical or lecture? My opinion is that lecture should be optional because most adult students learn quicker via self-paced exercises. In a lot of professional schools over 50% of...

  17. How far do you travel for work??

    bhanson replied to futurenurseheather's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Personally I max out at about 30 minutes by car each way, even that is pushing it. Right now I live less than a mile and a half away from my

  18. Can someone explain how to survive doing cna work

    bhanson replied to meo814's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Things to get: - Roommates! Things to get rid of: - Cable - Car - Eating out I worked as a CNA for 2 years and I saved enough to be able to not have to work for my entire duration of nursing...

  19. how long does it take you to leave work

    bhanson replied to cnamommyto2's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    My shift goes until 7:15 and I never leave earlier than 7:15. I can technically clock out at 7:08 and it goes into the time system as 7:15, but that seems unethical. On busy days I'll stay until...

  20. Very confused Nursing or MD?

    bhanson replied to Jaime1990's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Nursing and Medicine are both terrible choices if one's concern is primarily money. People that go into Nursing or Medicine for the money tend to hate their jobs and it very much shows to everyone...

  21. Taking science courses one at a time?

    bhanson replied to Barbara25's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Do what's best for you. Taking two sciences (with labs) at a time is pretty standard at the college level or else you'd never finish many degrees. However, if you can only do one while maintaining...

  22. Retaking Physiology and accept an F?

    bhanson replied to Jade8626's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It will really depend on the school, but most will not average them together for your grade but instead count both equally when calculating your

  23. Retaking Physiology and accept an F?

    bhanson replied to Jade8626's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Here's the lowdown on grade replacement... There is no universal grade replacement policy; it depends on what your institution does. Most places will at the very least list both on your transcript,...

  24. Do I need to submit all Transcripts...

    bhanson replied to Ellis02136's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What's worse, is if they found out about your academic dishonesty *after* you complete the program I believe that's grounds for taking your degree

  25. I go to ITT-Tech...

    bhanson replied to TeamSteven01's topic in School, College Programs

    I think overall I was able to keep my post pretty objective. I'm not saying ITT-Tech is not a good school, and I'm not saying in the future they don't have the potential to be a great school, but...
