  1. A interesting teaching method...

    LuckyinKY posted a topic in General Nursing

    I was reading a blog on the 30 freakiest commercials of 2010, this was one of them: Super Sexy CPR *Note this is probably NSFW (or around children)! Interesting way to teach CPR huh? I am not sure...

  3. NS Wish List

    LuckyinKY replied to Kyla.ann's topic in General Students

    Everyone has had great suggestions, I also recommend an ITouch or Iphone, it has been a lifesaver and was actually required by my program. Lots of restaurant giftcards for places close to work and...

  4. How long do you study...

    LuckyinKY replied to Darkpk55's topic in General Students

    The short answer: Not Enough The long answer is, it depends. I have been cramming mostly making detailed outlines about a week-2 days before an exam. I used to be a good studier, but have gotten...

  5. Fluid & Electrolytes

    LuckyinKY replied to mrscrook's topic in General Students

    Here was the study guide I made for the F&E exam, along with ABGs. I compiled our class notes, a few websites and tips from this site. I make pretty thorough outlines for exams. Despite that, I...

  6. Student Loan Debt. Where do you draw the line?

    LuckyinKY replied to tothepointeLVN's topic in General Students

    I am at around $50,000 for my original bachelors and not taking any more aid for my ADN. I am lucky to have an employer who pays for 6 credits of tuition a semester. I am paying the leftover out of...

  7. breastfeeding/pumping and working overnights

    LuckyinKY replied to colleennurse's topic in General Nursing

    I worked days, and pumped maybe every 2-4 hours depending on how engorged I was. My son, drank only a tiny bit of expressed milk at daycare and nursed constantly during the night. Depending on how...

  8. University of Kentucy-2nd Degree BSN

    LuckyinKY replied to wildcatwant's topic in General Students

    Thats good to hear since if I do my BSN bridge at UK, I'll be working. I have all of my non-nursing classes done, so all I am taking are nursing classes (and one communications class this summer). I...

  9. A true Thanksgiving Story/ Bowen's Heart

    LuckyinKY replied to realnursealso/LPN's topic in General Nursing

    It is amazing what they can do with HLHS babies now. A good friend of mine has a 3 year old daughter who had HLHS. She almost died a year and half ago and received a heart transplant with very...

  10. Body Bags

    LuckyinKY replied to stellina615's topic in General Nursing

    I had to do my first post-mortem care as a nursing student a few weeks ago. The zipping up of the bag was the most emotional part for myself and the fellow students. I was not at all familiar with...

  11. University of Kentucy-2nd Degree BSN

    LuckyinKY replied to wildcatwant's topic in General Students

    My non-nursing BS is from UK and I also work for UK and think it is a good school. It would have been a choice for me except for my job. I was told that their program frowns on students working. My...

  12. University of Kentucy-2nd Degree BSN

    LuckyinKY replied to wildcatwant's topic in General Students

    I am doing an ADN (4 semesters, not counting pre-reqs) with a possible bridge over to a BSN which is going to be 6-7 semesters. If I can find a MS/DNP program that will allow me to skip the BSN and...

  13. *Vent* RN's make toast?!?!?!

    LuckyinKY replied to WickedRedRN's topic in General Nursing

    Toasters are a banned item in the hospital where I work. I keep threatening to hide one somewhere for personal use. I hate the dry, cold toast that they have the audacity to charge $1 for 2 slices...

  14. University of Kentucy-2nd Degree BSN

    LuckyinKY replied to wildcatwant's topic in General Students

    I graduated from UK with my BS and now attend an ADN program at the community college. UK's second degree BSN program is very hard to get in, I have heard of people with 3.6 and higher GPAs being...

  15. usajobs.gov and medhunters.com

    LuckyinKY replied to johnnyDoGood's topic in General Nursing

    It can take forever to et a federal job. My husband works for the VA and the hiring process is so ridiculous and riddled with red tape. Once you are in, it is great, but don't expect to start...

  16. Should I tell my nursing school about my disorder?

    LuckyinKY replied to Harmony4All's topic in General Students

    We only needed vaccinations, no physical exam or drug

  17. Will VA pay for my education?

    LuckyinKY replied to Rhapsody86's topic in General Students

    I don't believe they do, even for current VA employees ( my husband is one). Even if they did have a program, don't count on them to actually give you any money. We qualify for a child care...

    LuckyinKY replied to Yuppers21's topic in General Students

    Blue jello? I know that green jello made my son's poop lime green, so maybe the same principal applies to

  20. Easy way to remember ABG's?

    LuckyinKY replied to SerenityR.N.'s topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I am bumping this up from the depths because the Tic Tac Toe handout is amazingly helpful. Wish I had found sooner instead the night before my

  21. Should I tell my nursing school about my disorder?

    LuckyinKY replied to Harmony4All's topic in General Students

    I wonder if I could have narcolepsy. I have always had trouble staying awake, especially during classes. I have tried everything, but I am always falling asleep during lectures, especially long...

  22. Any nurses with issue of leg edema?

    LuckyinKY replied to artistnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I have unexplained leg edema, and wear compression stockings when I am on my feet. Once I am home, I make it a point to elevate my feet, I even try to elevate them if I am on a break or sitting. I...

  23. Health Insurance

    LuckyinKY replied to ckh23's topic in General Nursing

    I have a PPO and it works best for my family. I also have a Flexible Savings account to cover dental, vision and copays. The PPO plan makes it easy for me to budget expenses, I know a doctors visit...
