    Can anyone dumb down this Hesi thing for me?

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

    See that is the other thing I don't get. I didn't have the highest score in the class. Another student got the same as me. On the Hesi thing they send us it says national average and that was my...

    Dear Precepting Student:

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to Music in My Heart's topic in General Students

    We start IV's here and it's not against the law. Here preceptors for the senior practicum get a dollar more an hour and choose, Co-nurses that can do any semester don't get any compensation and often...

    Can anyone dumb down this Hesi thing for me?

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

    Oh really? I never knew that. I emailed my Pharm instructor for clarification. It will bug me until I am able to make sense of it. So hopefully he emails me back soon so I don't drive myself more...

    Can anyone dumb down this Hesi thing for me?

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

    They never explained anything to us. They just told us this semester instead of the NLN we will now be doing Hesi and it's supposed to be better. I have seen it mentioned on these forums a lot so...

    Best makeup for clinicals?

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

    Well keep in mind that some of the office prices aren't to bad. I think the average here was 75bucks. That will get you a RX and a lot of the stuff they try are antibiotics which there are generics so...

    Best makeup for clinicals?

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

    If it's possible see a dermatologist. It's one of the most rewarding things I did. You don't realize how much you take great skin for granted until you start breaking out

    CNA Issues

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

    I found the CNA's at the Nursing Home during my clinicals rude and tried to take advantage of the students. In the hospital I have found 95% of them to be great and thankful to have the help. That...

    OB/PEDI question

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

    Don't get me wrong, I don't feel that male patients should get any different treatment. Even though I had that one bad experience with a health care professional, it hasn't jaded me of all male health...

    Yea being that he "shooed" you away via email when you tried to tell him is why I would just let it go. Some people are just more cold and jaded than others. It sucks, but it's the way it is. If it...

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to TC1087271's topic in General Students

    Personally, I would just let it go and do better on the next ones since it wasn't a huge impact on your grade and you're still doing good. I am very sorry for what happened with your

    OB/PEDI question

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

    Try to look at it as more protection for them than anything. Things can be misinterpreted. I wouldn't want to be the male nurse/dr/aide that was accused of something and I had no one to back me up and...

    Mental Health: How would YOU diagnose this client?

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

    Interesting, I have a lot of experience with BPD and that didn't jump out at me at all. Some other things came across my mind but not that one. I don't think there is near enough information though to...
