  1. Two Thoughts

    guest042302019 posted a topic in General Students

  2. Two Thoughts

    guest042302019 replied to guest042302019's topic in General Students

    guest042302019 replied to vandas1211's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I don't know if they "suck" per se. That's not very constructive. Maybe you could be a little clear about your r/t factors. Risk for falls r/t impaired neuromuscular movement. Just a suggestion. It's...

  8. How many times did you apply for the lottery based schools?

    guest042302019 replied to Derls's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    From what I understand, going to an accredited community college far out-weighs a technical school any day! If you want to further your education, going to a college with transferable credits would be...

    First of all, I think it's great that you are here and willing to accept thoughts from other students. Some folks I've heard, are not. Anyway, I'd like my CI to discuss improvements that we've had in...

  14. Question about an order

    guest042302019 replied to Kay51's topic in General Students

    Did you ask your clinical instructor or other nurses? Sometimes nurses are familiar with doctor's handwriting and abbreviations. It's worth a shot. No pun

  15. Which is easier - LPN or RN?

    guest042302019 replied to Jmiami's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I guess LPN would be easier in the sense that there is less schooling and time involved. But, LPNs do very similar work compared to an RN. I have plenty of classmates that balance school, work,...

  23. Double standard for men?

    guest042302019 replied to grpman's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I haven't felt that there is a double standard. I think there is a different type of joking in healthcare that wouldn't necessarily be appropriate in any other context. I've joked about suppository...

    guest042302019 replied to Nurse2b7337's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I wouldn't unless you absolutely had to. As in, some time, financial, or traveling constraints. Even wit those constraints, I would still only recommend online A&P, especially 2, online. Find a...
