   nurse4forever replied to oklahomagal's topic in General Students

   Just finished my 1st week of 2nd semester too. We are doing Med/Surg this semester. OB and Peds is in the summer. We have 3 exams, 1 final, 13 quizzes, 1 math competency test, 4 lab tests, 1 HESI...

2. Yay!! Passed semester 1 (Fundamentals) but....

   nurse4forever replied to P B and J's topic in General Students

   If I was an instructor and found out a copy of the final exam was stolen from my desk, I would have made a new test immediately. I'm sorry this has happened to you and many innocent students taking...

3. Feeling totally dejected

   nurse4forever replied to littlerayofsunshine's topic in General Students

   :hug: Sometimes I feel the same way... I just started NS too. I heard it gets better though. Over the weekend I spoke briefly to a friend who is a Nurse Practitioner and she says that school is hard...

6. Nursing Diagnosis- NO MORE??

   nurse4forever replied to Rachey467's topic in General Students

   Hey.. we just learned that in lecture yesterday and I have no problems with NrsDX... I think all of it makes sense because we are nurses to treat the patient or client and not the disease. People...

9. nursing student jobs

   nurse4forever replied to lmc55's topic in General Students

   I believe it depends on your state. But in Ohio, I heard that after your 1st semester of nursing school, you can test to become an STNA without any other additional classes. You can also work as a...

10. Drug Cards

    nurse4forever replied to CaptScrubs13's topic in General Students

    I wish we were allowed to use electronic devices such as iPods or iPhones during clinicals. Since they have cameras on them, the clinical sites do not allow students to use them. It could be a HIPAA...

11. So, we don't learn how to do IVs in nursing school?

    nurse4forever replied to i<3u's topic in General Students

    I agree! But it seem some schools don't even teach students how to do them on dummies. When I saw this thread I was curious to know if my school teaches us how to insert/start IVs and draw blood, so I...

12. Nursing student-need advice please!

    nurse4forever replied to ixcelticsxi22's topic in General Students

    I would stick with the ADN program since you already spent $1,500. You will be done with school quicker and possibly start working sooner. You can then continue your education for a BSN later if you...

    nurse4forever replied to x_factor's topic in General Students

    Try the "Incredibly Easy" series.. I don't have A&P or Pharmacology but I have Fluids & Electrolytes, ECG Interpretations, and Pathophysiology Incredibly Visual. I read A&P For Dummies...

    nurse4forever replied to OB-nurse2013's topic in General Students

    Wow... not sure if it's because I just started the program this week but all the staff and faculty at my school are really nice. Our course leader has been responding to our emails in a timely manner...
