  1. ACLS Prep

    Coulter630 replied to CAPPYBARA BREAKFAST's topic in General Nursing

    Suburban, you tube. Use it! It was a life saver for me and it taught me A LOT about rhythm strips. Got em down pat now! Just look up all the different rhythms. They have some really good tips and...

  2. NCLEX help with drug classes and what we need to know

    Coulter630 replied to doesthishelp's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    NCLEX is based on how well you can answer the questions. If every other question your answering is wrong, the computer is confused as how well you can actually answer the questions and will probably...

  3. What do you think of Kaplan

    Coulter630 replied to NurseDiane44's topic in First Year After Licensure

    The only thing I can tell you is that, I've taken Kaplan nursing tests for our nursing program at a local community college and they are extremely hard! Our instructors curve the tests b/c most people...

  4. Insight on a question I do not agree with

    Coulter630 replied to TexHaws's topic in General Nursing

    First, let me say that this is just a bad question, but we all know there are no "good" questions in nursing school. Now, I do think by the rest of the answers, this is a therapeutic communication...

  5. Was written up ! I am so upset is there any hope to ever be a RN?

    Coulter630 replied to Trekfan's topic in General Nursing

    First, I am curious as to why exactly you were written up? And are you a nursing student, Cna, ??? Are you having trouble passing meds, or trouble with your own meds? I agree with the others, that...

    Coulter630 replied to Sunny Lioness's topic in General Nursing

    Coulter630 replied to hotscrubs's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, what a story. Your words are very encouraging, b/c I often think myself this way. I never thought I could become a nurse, the only thing that has ever interested me! I dropped out of highschool...

  8. Ok, what's the real deal with new grads?

    Coulter630 replied to future nurse1's topic in General Nursing

    Let me first start with saying, an attitude adjustment in the first step in the right direction when we're talking about seeking employment. I can also say, while you're in school and clinicals, the...

  9. Will it be worth it?

    Coulter630 replied to hopefull1's topic in General Nursing

    Depending on what school you plan to attend, you definately could at least give a bit of financial aid. Being a single mother and separated, you are likely to receive some help as far as tuition goes....

  10. Nursing(NA/LPN/RN) vs Medical Assistant***VENT

    Coulter630 replied to floridanurse1983's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    We should all come up with a law saying that their should not be any more CMA classes offered......EVER! I still have student loans out for this crappy program. I have even tried to get the state to...

  12. I Don't Want To Take 9 Prerequisite Courses :-(

    Coulter630 replied to Tee_Gee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Girl, guy, your just gonna have to do it! If being a nurse is really what you want, it will all be worth it in the end! I remember thinking the same way though when I first got started and it's gone...

    Coulter630 replied to mercy07's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Coulter630 replied to incurable_optimism's topic in General Nursing

  16. Vocational nurse training cost???

    Coulter630 replied to Ikram29's topic in California Nursing

    Totally agree. I'm thinking I will be paying about the same after all is said and done. I honestly don't see how people can get away with charging this much! It's really crazy to me. My school is...

  17. Vocational nurse training cost???

    Coulter630 replied to Ikram29's topic in California Nursing

    Again, super similar position! I applied for the CMA program when I was pregnant so I could have a "better career". That didn't work out for me and I'm back at it. But, because your baby needs you...

  18. Plz read!!! Nurse using drugs what should i do???

    Coulter630 replied to J-Star's topic in General Nursing

    For lack of a better word, yes "snitch". You have to put yourself in her position. The word will get around that something was said about this woman and it will cause animosity in the HOSPITAL. And if...

  19. What to do w/ all these pre-reqs?!

    Coulter630 replied to Wanna_BA_Nurse's topic in Nursing Career

  20. Vocational nurse training cost???

    Coulter630 replied to Ikram29's topic in California Nursing

    Yikes, I don't think I would do it. Look into your local community colleges. I pay 625.00 a semester and I'm in the ADN program at my college. Is this University of Phoenix or some school like that?...

  21. "Good for nothing student"

    Coulter630 replied to Sarah010101's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry, but you seem to be pretty bitter person and rude. Why? Sorry, just curious. People are offered jobs every single day before they finish school. Esp. if you've been working with a hospital...

  22. I Quit!! What do I say?

    Coulter630 replied to Sl1011's topic in General Nursing

    Be honest. If that even means telling them you are resigning due to personal reasons. I don't think they will ask you why being that you've stated "personal". You are moving on to bigger and better...

  23. Not staying on top of pain - confusing orders - myths?

    Coulter630 replied to Biogirl4's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Yikes! Just one thing, your not supposed to irrigate and ear if the eardrum is ruptured. That must have really hurt. I've suffered all my life with ear infections and there are not pretty. Probably...
