    PICC line removal, a sterile procedure?

    Anoetos replied to Anoetos's topic in General Nursing

    It's a stupid question and I think I know what the answer is, but I got some info from an authority yesterday that kind of shook my inexperienced nursing

    The introverted nurse

    Anoetos replied to esunada's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I have known people like this too, they don't talk much, but when they do, what they say is invariably worthwhile (unlike some others who can't seem to shut up, all the while saying very little...

    Is being a Male nurse weird?

    Anoetos replied to Daniel Floyd's topic in Men in Nursing

    Out of the 40 people in my program, 10 are male. That is a much higher ratio than is seen in the workplace, and, of course, I have no idea how many of us will be graduating. Anyhow, re: The Gay Thing:...

    Hmmmmm Why Do Nursing Students Fail?

    Anoetos replied to yel550i's topic in General Students

    I thought about the question and was ready to give my answer and then I read all the posts and my answer hasn't fundamentally changed. For every student who doesn't study hard enough and fails, there...

    Sick of people who think Nursing will be easy!

    Anoetos replied to katebean04's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's exactly what they think and the reason they think it is, I believe because it's how nursing school and nursing has been presented to them by the schools. I am not saying this is wrong, these...

    Could Really Use Some Guidance

    Anoetos replied to blueyes30's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Many schools will accept the best score of two efforts. If this is what your school does it certainly couldn't hurt to study up and retake it. Remember, if your school has a hundred seats, they will...

    Sick of people who think Nursing will be easy!

    Anoetos replied to katebean04's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There won't be any word banks in NS. The tests are far less about recall than they are about application. These tests care far less about what happens to A when B gets pushed, and far more about why A...

    is it true?

    Anoetos replied to mee9mee9's topic in General Students

    At my school sciences are considered to have expired in five years. Whether this is a state guideline or not, I do not know. They don't come off your transcript, but the school won't accept them if...

    TEAS Test...Any thoughts??

    Anoetos replied to MsAshley's topic in Michigan Nursing

    MsAshley, the Director of the nursing program at DBI is a wonderful woman I had the pleasure of learning from in fundamentals lab. If you get in there you will get an excellent

    Can someone explain how a study group is at all effective?

    Anoetos replied to bhanson's topic in General Students

    I have found that study groups, in order to be effective, need to be very disciplined. You almost have to go in with the understanding, on everyones part, that the group will do thus and so, having a...

    When will they change the name???

    Anoetos replied to hand2cut's topic in Men in Nursing

    Same Job = same title Unless we're changing it to Tank Commander, in which case I am all

    How did everyones semester go?

    Anoetos replied to arprew2's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I made it through the first semester and did okay. I did not get A's in my critical thinking NURS classes (Fundamentals, Lifespan, Nutrition), but I did get B's and I think that's just fine. Now on to...

    Drug Testing for NS

    Yep, drug and criminal background

    Sex in a LTC...is this ok?

    Anoetos replied to AKAnurse4's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I didn't mean right that moment!

    Sex in a LTC...is this ok?

    Anoetos replied to AKAnurse4's topic in General Nursing

    Good question. It seems that doing safe sex education and making condoms available would be the very least. I too have heard about a near epidemic of HPV and chlamydia among the elderly. Many are...

    Sex in a LTC...is this ok?

    Anoetos replied to AKAnurse4's topic in General Nursing

    Why wouldn't it be ok? If there's

    What are the pros and cons of being a CRNA

    Anoetos replied to Elzzie's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I would imagine that one big pro would be the 100+k/year

    Is it fair to have a take home mutiple choice exam for A&P1?

    Anoetos replied to Copperismydog's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The NCLEX is a test everyone has to take by themselves, it's like the final judgement...no matter how much a person may have slacked or cheated on they way, when they get there it's just them and the...

    Why am I a B student?

    Anoetos replied to Despareux's topic in General Students

    Yeah, there is a clue: if the question has to do with priority or what should the nurse do first, and one of the answers begins "assess for", choose that one, otherwise, go ABC's and Maslow. But...

    Why am I a B student?

    Anoetos replied to Despareux's topic in General Students

    By the way, I agree about the NCLEX style questions. Take good notes in lecture, read the book actively, all that is important but for me, doing a crap ton of NCLEX style questions has been key to my...

    Why am I a B student?

    Anoetos replied to Despareux's topic in General Students

    Because NS is not about information recall, it's about critical thinking and learning how to be a really awesome test taker. Most of us were good test takers, we were able to digest a large array of...

    Is it fair to have a take home mutiple choice exam for A&P1?

    Anoetos replied to Copperismydog's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Don't worry about it, but at the same time, don't let the weakness of your colleagues or even your professor alter the way you study or prepare. As has been mentioned, a good grade in A&P is not...

    Is this cheating?

    Anoetos replied to BluegrassRN's topic in General Students

    I wrote that when I was a bit stressed out, Curious, I have to beg your pardon. Of course you should do everything you need to do to meet your instructor's

    Is this cheating?

    Anoetos replied to BluegrassRN's topic in General Students

    "self-plagiarism"...there is no such thing and the very idea is ridiculous. It's your work, you haven't signed the rights to it over to anyone. It is yours to modify or present as you see
