    End of first semester

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to jrw03282009's topic in General Students

    Just finished my first semester as well. We have lost 6 for sure, and today was the last try of the 3 tries to pass the Dosage Calc at 100% so not sure if we lost anymore. I took my last final...

    What Happens If the Nurse Didn't Aspirate For H1N1?

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to HappyMeNow's topic in General Nursing

    We just got done doing injections and school and we were taught to aspirate IM and not SubQ. That said, we were also taught that apparently there isn't a requirement to aspirate for Vaccines and the...

    Are "real" nurses as mean as my future instructors?

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to Dakovich's topic in General Nursing

    I dunno, student came pretty late and unprepared, I probably would have signed and rolled my eyes from my seat

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to Dakovich's topic in General Nursing

    Whoever came up with the saying that their is no such thing as a stupid question, probably asked a lot of stupid questions in their day. I am a firm believer that everyone deserves a level of respect...

    is "beating around the bush" common in nursing?

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to shrimpchips's topic in General Nursing

    So staying online with the differences in school and in the hospital (I don't start hospital clincials until Jan) Are many nurses doing this new practice of doing injections at 10seconds per mL and...

    On my way to the nursing program...yay!!!!

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to ese1212's topic in General Students

    Do the opposite of what you just said. Make getting a good amount of sleep a PRIORITY. Still have a social life, it might not be AS active, but it's important to still have YOU time. Eat well, drink...

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to dinah77's topic in General Students

    Oh my goodness, seriously?!?!, my point was true, it was true in my case, which makes it true. I never claimed it to be true for every person, just like I never said ALL schools do things this way or...

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to dinah77's topic in General Students

    I didn't say it didn't pertain at all, it just wasn't the main point I was getting at. Just like I also said, I am sure their are probably some schools where things aren't always the same, but...

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to dinah77's topic in General Students

    Sorry I felt what way??? Majority pre req science classes are the same across the board. A&P 1 and 2 and Micro, some schools require Chem and/or Organic Chem (one of mine did) some do Patho during...

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to dinah77's topic in General Students

    Pathophyis is a Co Req at my school but you can take it before hand if you want that at Nutrition. The rest were all pre reqs. I just took Patho ahead of time. But regardless that had little to do...

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to knittingmonster's topic in General Students

    I got a 100% on my pharm final. The 3 previous tests I got 2 C's and a D. I started off well 1 A and 2 nursing B's (like how I have to add in NURSING B LOL). Anyway, I let stuff at home get the best...

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to dinah77's topic in General Students

    I have to say it again, grades in pre reqs (if you are getting the minimum required to pass) do not mean someone will not be a good nurse or make it through nursing school. I had C's in my pre req...

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to caffeineRx's topic in General Nursing

    I feel your pain, I do a lot better at standing up for others then I do myself. I am naturally an assertive independent person and if someone is being rude or snotty to me I have no problem defending...

    Well then they will think the teacher is favoring you when you still come back next semester. There is one girl that always asks me my grade and acts so snotty, I was tempted to start telling her I...

    Math, My Weakness

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to Inspired By Silence's topic in General Nursing

    Getting a tutor would probably help. Math in JHS was a strong suit of mine. I didn't really have much of it in HS and when I went to college math was the only part on the entrance testing I required...

    I am a push over, now if someone was asking to copy my a test or quiz or something I would say no but when it's like HW I try to make an excuse or I cave. If I could change one thing about myself it...
