    Meliss214 replied to AriaRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    Russell, how'd you do? You didn't have Mr. ******* so you can't be mad at me. I passed, but Ms. ****** told me I wasn's suppose to tuck the top sheet and blanket in on the sides. I think I like Ms....

    Meliss214 replied to AriaRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    Yep, it appears that you need to make an A in one of your science classes and the rest can be B's. The nursing program is equivalent to taking at least 12 hrs eventhough we're only receiving 7 hrs for...

    Meliss214 replied to AriaRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    Surprisingly some of the beds have real call buttons so don't forget to check. I'm just going to focus on safety, hygiene and the basic steps. See you

    So if you can't transfer accountability to a UAP and a student nurse is unlicensed, then the student nurse who forgot to put the call button on the bed is only responsible and not accountable. Oh,...

    The top and bottom sheet are the same. Just make sure the rough edges are down on the bottom sheet and up on the top sheet. Don't forget to knock before entering, change your gloves after cleaning...

  7. San Jacinto College ADN Fall 2009

    Meliss214 replied to AriaRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    Well at least we don't have to get an anthrax vaccine that they give to the military folk. So my letter says we have to get the flu shot by Oct. 1st. I hope Walgreens is giving them out because my Hep...

    Meliss214 replied to AriaRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    I read it on the announcement page. Didn't get an email either. At least we don't have to get the swine flu vaccine. I've also heard that the symptoms for the regular flu are worse than those of the...

    Meliss214 replied to AriaRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    Have you seen the skills check off list? It says to wash the back and then the perineum and it leaves off the armpit unless it assumes that we wash the armpit while we're washing the arm. How funny!...

  11. San Jacinto College ADN Fall 2009

    Meliss214 replied to AriaRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    So do we wash our hands first or introduce ourselves first? And do we really need to change gloves everytime we change the water in real

    Meliss214 replied to AriaRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    Good to know. So now I need to get started on chs 10 and 11 once we get our window unit working. (Our AC died yesterday and we can't get it repaired until

    Meliss214 replied to AriaRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    Well I finished my paper. It's only 2 1/2 pages, but I have too many other assignments that I need to be working on so hopefully the length will suffice. So what's everyone else working

  17. San Jacinto College ADN Fall 2009

    Meliss214 replied to AriaRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    Ok so I just need 7 hrs of sleep. And we have 15 chs on the next exam instead of 13. I will be thankful if I make a B on that

    Meliss214 replied to AriaRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    Although the next test appears more difficult in that it covers 13 chs instead of 8. So much for

    Meliss214 replied to AriaRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    So it's been confirmed. Only the 1st grade for pre-test and the post-test along with the medical term part are averaged in. So no need to torture yourself by retaking the post-tests until you make a...

    Meliss214 replied to AriaRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    Well that's the whole point of exposing us to that type of questioning now. Now you know why the NCLEX pass rate is so how at San Jac. And MNL ch 29 is a killer for those of us who have no prior...

  21. San Jacinto College ADN Fall 2009

    Meliss214 replied to AriaRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    Guess what? The NCLex is full of picking the "right ones." One of the nursing students warned me of this when preparing for the

    Meliss214 replied to AriaRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    Well I emailed Dr. **** since it doesn't make sense for us to test for only 1 self-study

  23. San Jacinto College ADN Fall 2009

    Meliss214 replied to AriaRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    Oops so they're going to lecture over 29 but not 45? Jillian was asking me yesterday about that and she was wondering if they meant to put ch 46 since they plan to lecture of 46 the following

  24. San Jacinto College ADN Fall 2009

    Meliss214 replied to AriaRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    I've spend 2 hrs reading ch 29 and I'm still not ready for the pre-test. I can't believe the # of chs for the 2nd exam. And it doesn't look like they're going to lecture over 29 and 45 based on the...

  25. San Jacinto College ADN Fall 2009

    Meliss214 replied to AriaRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    So does anyone know someone who made an "A" on that test? I know realize that I have to read the chapters instead of solely relying on lecture notes. I still think mitering the corners of the bed is...
