    New 2 iceeYouRN posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  4. NCLEX Alternate format help

    New 2 iceeYouRN posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hi! So I was wondering if anyone out there has heard of a NCLEX review book/cd that significantly if not entirely focuses on alternate format? Idealistically I picture a practice book/cd that has ALL...

  5. Magazine Subscriptions

    New 2 iceeYouRN replied to strwbrryswrls's topic in General Students

    Depends on your level of knowledge and what you intend on learning from the journals. I'm a 3rd year SN and Nursing 2010 is annoying to me, they don't really cover new information but teach you the...

  6. Daytonite has passed away...

    New 2 iceeYouRN replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    I'm at a loss for words. The assistance that I got from her helped me build my foundation in nursing. What an amazing person. I pray for her

  7. Nursing Research

    New 2 iceeYouRN posted a topic in General Students

    Hello Does ANYONE have advice on a supplemental book to read when reading a text on nursing research? I'm not loving our text book in our research class and I'm looking for something to put the...

  8. What you wished you'd reviewed?

    New 2 iceeYouRN replied to bjl18's topic in General Students

    Hmm lets see... anatomy and physiology... probably the MOST important pre-req's ever. Know where those organs are and what they're connected to. Also, know your physio pretty well.. it will make...

  9. LVN same as 1st year RN?

    New 2 iceeYouRN replied to DemonChild's topic in General Students

    No, It all depends on what type of program/school you are doing. My friend is doing the LVN at our local city college and her 1.5 years to complete LVN will require her to bridge into their LVN-RN...

  10. Working the night shift

    New 2 iceeYouRN replied to luvmykids1123's topic in General Students

    Wow, I've been doing night shifts off and on for about 4 years now. It's HARD! I work only part time so that's 2 12hr shifts fri/sat night. I have nursing school mon-thurs. On my thursday nights I...

  11. Faculty evaluations

    New 2 iceeYouRN replied to SolaireSolstice's topic in General Students

    Its funny you ask because we just got "lectured" on evals. In nursing, whether you are in a BSN or ADN program you are expected to be a mature, responsible adult. If you have problems with a professor...

  12. Do you use a nursing bag?

    New 2 iceeYouRN replied to tiffanyleigh0212's topic in General Students

    I use one that I got from our local nursing union, it's like a messenger that zips. They're good because you can make sure that you keep your essentials in this bag only so you never show up to...

  13. The "Curve"

    New 2 iceeYouRN posted a topic in General Students

    So after being in a BSN program for my second year I have come to have mixed feelings on the "curve". Many instructors do it many different ways, whether it be by extra credit questions, or using the...

    New 2 iceeYouRN posted a topic in General Students

    So I recently had my yearly TB skin test and came back positive. I've worked in the hospital for years and it's very possible I've been exposed to a TB pt on numerous occasions. I went to the doctor...

  17. the ICU book

    New 2 iceeYouRN posted a topic in MICU, SICU

    Hello! I'm a student nurse looking to specialize in critical care and was wondering what ya'll thought of the ICU book by Marino. It's written by a doctor which gets me wary. I was wondering if anyone...

  18. Night Shift?

    New 2 iceeYouRN replied to gsxtreme1987's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I agree, it sounds like a good idea in theory that is if people didn't have circadian rhythms and could just sleep at the drop of a dime. I am a night person which is why I do well on night schedule,...

  19. Night Shift?

    New 2 iceeYouRN replied to gsxtreme1987's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Oh man, working nights and nursing school is NO FUN! I'm also a "CNA" simply by passing fundementals in NS and work night shifts. I go to a school were I get fri/sat/sun off so I tend to work fri/sat...

  20. Is this common at your facility?

    New 2 iceeYouRN replied to missnurse01's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    We have a PICC nurse, all she does is insert PICC lines and is on call for this. We also have an ABC team of nurses who have set limits of what they can do but they do not

  21. Assessment - seriously what are you supposed to do?

    New 2 iceeYouRN replied to SparkleRN's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I can't believe you've never seen a nurse do a real assessment! I've gone through 2 rounds of Med/Surg and am about to enter Critical Care in the fall. I also work in the ICU which is where I have...

  22. Nursing Student Supplies

    New 2 iceeYouRN replied to ___Mona___'s topic in General Students

    I've been debating getting Dansko's but I worry because I have FLAT, wide, and large feet so I wonder exactly how comfortable they will be. I hear they are horrible the first couple

  23. Are you a competitive Nursing Student?

    New 2 iceeYouRN replied to VidaUrbana's topic in General Students

    I think that overall you must be competitive to get into nursing, it's not an easy major to make it into. Which will carry on into the program... you'll find those who will loose their competitiveness...

  24. Would a laptop be helpful for nursing school?

    New 2 iceeYouRN replied to kace081106's topic in General Students

    Hands down the best laptop for class would be a MacBook. Yes I know these are expensive but are well worth the investment. On a MacBook you can use Microsoft Word (for Mac) and it has a special...

  25. Emotionally drained?

    New 2 iceeYouRN posted a topic in General Students

    So I'm finishing my first year (of 3) of the nursing program and I'm starting to wonder if everything is getting to me. I also work in the ICU and I've been seeing a lot of death, and dying, and...
