Hi everyone, I am having a bit of a dilemma here. I am very unhappy with my school and its instructors, and one in particular who is a large part of the nursing program is causing me to have second thoughts about nursing altogether. She makes me want...

I would have gone with A personally, but it may also be C. What is it?

I searched online for some 'fake' medication administration record examples, but I can't find any. My instructor is NOT helping us with teaching us how to fill one out (long story, not going to go there...) and said we need to figure it out ourselves...

Sometimes I think I study TOO much. I'm thinking that maybe it is because my study habits are poor. What I find that I end up doing is reading the same material over and over and over and over - Is that what studying is really about? That is a stupid...

He got his GED, which means he didn't finish high school, so it makes sense.

Well said!!! (....I hope some of my instructors read this...)

I'm sorry you are experiencing this. I, myself, am an overweight LPN student - About 275 lbs. currently. Luckily, I have not experienced any remarks or discrimination by anyone or any instructor. In fact I've made many friends right off the bat, whic...

Very well said! (I, too, am dealing with similar issues at the moment...)

First, are you sure the answer to #2 that you provided is correct? It doesn't seem so to me, but maybe I am wrong too!

Yogurt is VERY effective for me for the treatment of YIs. What I do though is this (sounds weird, but I read it somewhere and it works): Take an empty tampon applicator and fill it with the yogurt, and then insert and plunge it straight into the vagi...

BON = Board of Nursing (Can't find any investigative material against LT either! I go to Dover Business College, though.)

I swear we must be in the same school....in NJ...hmm...

I've always been a good student - I'm just one of those freaks that love school, lol. I graduated second in my class in HS (salutatorian) with a 4.1 GPA (due to AP classes being worth more). HOWEVER, I was completely direction-less and had NO idea wh...

I'm glad to hear you turned around! I have been following your posts about this professor/course and was astounded at what you've been put through in an entry level course. Seriously. PLEASE don't let this one "teacher" ruin your dream!! I wish you t...

The poster above me is correct, but I found one more error. # 11 should be active transport (a). Na works to control fluid balance via the sodium potassium 'pump' which is a form of active transport. You chose osmosis, which is the movement of H20 th...

The type of math used most often in nursing ranges between basic math thru very basic algebra. Most often this includes decimals, ratios, proportions, fractions and the very basic division/multiplication/etc. It's nothing to panic over, really. Just ...

I will be starting clinicals for the first time in one week. I am excited, but extremely nervous.... My problem is that when I get very nervous, I get GI upset (specifically diarrhea...) I'm so afraid that this will occur during the time in the hosp...

Great thread!! :) Looking forward to reading more! :up:

I would most likely choose to stay with the current program and commute. I wouldn't want to go through the application process again, getting acquainted to everything, etc. Many people in my class commute up to even 1.5 hours so it's not unheard of. ...

Great to hear!!! :heartbeat:D

I've always gotten straight A's in NS....Well, we just finished another quarter and one of my classes I had an 89.5....She gave me the B :zzzzz Ugh, it just ****** me off. Sorry. I had a great thing going. She said she would consider the A, but I kno...

An easy way to remember is using the acronym ROME. R - Respiratory O - Opposite M - Metabolic E - Equal Meaning, Resp. Acidosis (opposite - both 'arrows' going in the opposite direction) pH PCo2 > 45 Resp Alkalosis pH > 7.45 PCo2 Met Acidos...

YES! I hate the nervous system. I LOVE A&P, truly, but when it comes to the NS it really pi**es me off. So you are not alone. I HAD a 99.8 average in the class that dropped to a low A because of the NS. Not so bad, no, but it still makes me mad, ...

I began my LPN course 1 month ago. I was/am really excited and doing well, but I keep hearing on here that LPN's have no jobs available anywhere anymore, they are phasing out/being laid off or fired, and even heard the more rude line that they are 'g...

Hello I am just starting to construct care plans and am looking into some sort of care plan constructor CD to help me out a bit to better learn the process. I'm just looking for another resource to turn to check my work, give me ideas, learn, etc. A...
