Very frustrated at this point and I'm trying to find anyone else in a similar situation. I applied for Texas A&M Corpus FNP program for 2018 in April. It's been almost 2 months and my status still says "pending admission decision". I've read anot...

Congrats on graduating! We'll be taking NCLEX the same day! Our school required us to pass all of our ati exams. For pharm, I made a chart that they recommended in one of the videos when you go and remediate. It had different drug classifications, si...

I can't say I understand what you're going through completely, but I can relate to most. You are overwhelmed. Try your best to look for an outlet. When I feel overwhelmed I cry my eyes out and then go to the gym. Find someone who can sit down with yo...

I'm in level 3 of 4 levels and I haven't gained anything. This semester is the hardest by far so we'll see what happens once i'm done. Where I live we have a 24 hour gym that i go to. I am NOT the type of person who can function with 3 hours of sleep...

Thank you! I always make things more complicated than they are.

Hello All! I'm a little confused on an infusion rate problem and was trying to seek some advice to point me in the right direction. The problem states... " The physician orders nicardipine hydrochloride (Cardene) 25 mg/250 mL, NS for peripheral IV st...

Thank you for the reply. After taking a well needed break to go work out and clear my head, I started to try and think in simpler terms. I came up with 25mg divided by 2.5mg/hr which equals 10 hours/ 250 mL. 250mL divided by 10 equals 25mL/hr. I hope...

I was going to post on here not to underestimate an online test. I'm an e-learning nursing student so all of my exams except the final are online and it is very very hard even with a book. BUT, we're talking about non-nursing students and i totally g...

I have the Cardiology III. Love it. Get alot of compliments on it as well. Bought it on Medisave and they have free engraving as well. They give you "points" for purchasing certain items. So when my little sister made it into the program, I bought he...

Hello All, I've been reading alot of questions on Med Surg that have been posted in the past and decided to post some questions of my own to see if I can get any help. I am currently in the online nursing program. It has been very challenging to read...

I've been there. I think its normal to feel down when everyone else has moved on, but i think the best thing to do is focus on yourself. Take it one day at a time. Focus on your 5 rights and the reason as to why you almost made the med error to preve...

Its unfortunate that you failed, but fundamentals is NOT a walk in the park. I'm not sure about the rules of your particular program, but I just wanted to post to tell you to hang in there. In my opinion, fundamentals laid out the foundation and buil...

I know how you feel. My first test for the semester I was trying to read entire chapters. It is impossible to do that when working 6 days a week along with other responsibilities. I think its impossible for almost anyone for that matter haha. I took ...

I usually make Bs and have been known to see the occasional C. I work hard and study hard. This in no way makes me stupid, but everyone is entitled to their opinions. As others have said it just means that I need to reevaluate my studying/test taking...

This is certainly alot for one person to have on their plate. I dont have any kids, all I can really offer is to take things one day at a time. I work 6 days a week and often feel like I don't have enough time to study. I feel overwhelmed almost ever...

I feel the exact same way right now. I just finished up level 1 nursing, we were in a nursing home which wasn't more than CNA work and PO med passes. Now I'll be moving onto level 2 which will consist of the same classes you spoke of. On our last day...

I can't imagine what you're going through and I'm really sorry this happened. If it were me, I'd DEFINITELY talk to your instructor and see what she says before you withdrawal. Even though this is a very serious matter, we always tend to jump on the ...

First off, sorry that you have to go through this. I do hope that it gets better. Honestly, I've been told by several about the nurses that "eat their young" and that I should expect it. I just start clinicals this month and I've found myself or my c...

I can understand what you mean about the attitude thing. I started my clinicals last week and our nurses aren't exactly nice. I spoke with a nurse a while back and she told me "Honey, we're the type that eat our young". I really took that to heart, i...

I did :) I stressed EVERYDAY because I had a 2.7 GPA. Scored high on my HESI though. Had alot of people give me the whole "oh i dont know if you will make it..." speech. All I can say is that it depends on who applied along with you for that semester...

I think there was a similar post about this. It sucks, because I start clinicals in one week. But the way I see it, I would NEVER let anyone sway my decision for what I want to do for the rest of my life. Thats just me. I can understand you when you ...

I say just go for it! While thats ALOT of stuff you have on your plate in a small time frame, write everything down, prioritize, etc. Thats the only way I keep myself from freaking out. If I don't, I'm trying to study and thinking,"omg I've got to do...

I think if the tests you are failing are tests where you must write out answers or write reports. Then yes, go over and make sure you are not making grammatical errors. That always helps, I agree. But I can't assume english is your first or second la...

I'll put my two cents in here :) Honestly, this may be the complete opposite of what you feel right now. For example, I know at my job(non medical) my boss doesn't see a need to hound me to do my work or guide me because he sees my productivity. Howe...

Lol Jasoncl1974. My spiteful, emotional, disorganized, scatter brained self just realized something. Did you join this forum JUST to seek out a 2 year old post to criticize women? Wow. If that doesn't speak volumes... Anyways, The bottom line- disorg...
