  1. professors?

    sh1901 replied to sweetiepeas's topic in General Students

    I work in higher ed and I asked a couple folks around here how this works. Basically, it's up to each institution how titles are designated. Here, Instructors are adjunct faculty and are non-tenure....

    sh1901 replied to cute2's topic in General Students

    My childhood records were long gone, so my PCP just pulled titers on everything that I needed from childhood. I had records of Hep B on file though. I have always gotten a flu shot and I did get the...

  3. Chubby Nursing Student****

    sh1901 replied to wife&mommyRN's topic in General Students

    Whether you realize it or not you may just be eating more. Do you tend to be up late studying? Ever snack while doing this? If so, you may have found your culprit and it's not one to easily brush...

    sh1901 replied to ERsn's topic in General Students

    sh1901 replied to guiltysins's topic in General Students

  6. NCLEX-RN review book before even starting school?

    sh1901 replied to ERsn's topic in General Students

  8. Has anyone ever felt this way?

    sh1901 replied to N02ADN's topic in General Students

    You sound normal to me. My family can't wait for the end of each semester so that I can be "normal" for a little while. Even then, it usually takes a week to "shed" the semester. Hang in

  10. Can you mix KCl and calcium gluconate with NS

    sh1901 replied to Sara5229's topic in General Students

    We are just getting into IV meds, but I think you would end up with an IVPB rather than everything in one bag. According to my IV med book, both KCl and calcium gluconate are compatible with NS. You...

    sh1901 replied to melaone's topic in General Students

    sh1901 replied to DolceVita's topic in General Students

    So, for the most part my instructors seem pretty good this semester. My clinical instructor will change and I go through rotations though. My biggest issue with my school is what appears to be lack...

    sh1901 replied to MegoEgo's topic in General Students

    We are able to use a simple calculator for our dosage exam we take each semester. If there are dosage questions on lecture or lab exams though, we need to be able to do these on our

  17. Studying and reading....

    sh1901 replied to sunnie123's topic in General Students

    sh1901 replied to peytonsmom's topic in General Students

    sh1901 replied to mochabean's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing
