  1. Foley Catheter Insertion

    mkblakley07 replied to sports2245's topic in General Students

    Our instructors told us not to even use those

  2. Do you know your 'stuff'?!!!

    mkblakley07 replied to sunkissed75's topic in General Students

    The math may seem scary, but it's not too bad. The worst part of dimensional analysis is figuring out how to put the problem together (at least for me). After that, it's cake because all the...

  3. do you type or write your notes?

    mkblakley07 replied to Zoe*aka*studentnurse's topic in General Students

    I think it's a personal preference thing... I tend to absorb material better when I physically have to write it, but I know that other people prefer to type b.c. they have atrocious handwriting and...

  4. Binders ect. for school

    mkblakley07 replied to Cdnurstudent's topic in General Students

  8. First day of nursing School *unleashed* post yours

    mkblakley07 replied to 9livesRN's topic in General Students

    Do your reading early, Then do it again. Record your lectures if they will let you, and don't procrastinate because you will probably forget to do it or run out of time. Practice the skills you learn...

  9. Older students biased against younger students?

    mkblakley07 replied to Stephanieee's topic in General Students

    mkblakley07 replied to JMMagana18's topic in General Students

    mkblakley07 replied to rocket2010's topic in General Students

    mkblakley07 replied to Di Deanna's topic in General Students

  14. Do you bring your laptop to class/lecture?

    mkblakley07 replied to Di Deanna's topic in General Students

    It's a certain brand of book and in the book bundle that we bought, we also got access to our books online and on desktop. it was really nice. If you want to look @ their website, its...

  15. Do you bring your laptop to class/lecture?

    mkblakley07 replied to Di Deanna's topic in General Students

  17. Drill Sargent Clinical Instructor

    mkblakley07 replied to NoeIssa's topic in General Students

    mkblakley07 replied to Liz21's topic in General Students

    Aren't normals for O2 sat 95%-100%? That's what it says in my fundamentals textbook... It's the previous edition, but that's what it says. But my Health Assessment textbook says that anything under...

    mkblakley07 replied to 9livesRN's topic in General Students

    :)well, this is the first day of my third week of clinicals. I almost threw up today when I was suctioning a trach patient, which is weird, because I never get nauseus. But I got through it, and...

    mkblakley07 replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    mkblakley07 replied to APRNReneeJ's topic in General Students

    I thought that you always try to orient a patient, but you just don't argue with them because you may agitate them. That what my Nursing Assessment teacher told

  25. Going to the Gym

    mkblakley07 replied to medgirlRN's topic in General Students
