  1. Excelsior College Help

    PiedPiperRN replied to deb11's topic in Online Distance Learning

    as much as I hate to say it, the EPN is a good website. And I have to get this off my chest: Exselsior has it's good points, but its website is NOT one of them. That thing is impossible to navigate...

  2. CPNE Workshop

    PiedPiperRN replied to nberry255's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I am actually looking for a study-buddy in Portland, OR. If you are intersted, please shoot me a

  3. Pleaseee Help Me

    PiedPiperRN replied to healthcarestudent's topic in General Students

    Try the local library. Also, most professors and past nursing students have these books and may be able to loan them out. I know that my teacher who handles NCLEX prep has an entire bookshelf...

  4. regretting nursing school??

    PiedPiperRN replied to Val_998's topic in General Students

    I agree that now is a good time to switch majors, and I also agree with posts that warn against making such a big decision too hastily and on limited experience. I know nurses who don't really fall...

  5. OB Help!

    PiedPiperRN replied to jvnCSUFSN's topic in General Students

    I always thought that it was an interesting flaw in TPAL system that miscarriages and medical abortions are not distinguished. That can tell you if a woman who is G10A10 should see a gynology...

  6. one year of med surg recommendation-- your opinion?

    PiedPiperRN replied to MyBrainIsFull's topic in General Students

    If you want to go down the ER route, then I would do medsurg for a year. However, most of the nurses that I have talked to have told me that L&D, peds and neonatal, and mental health nursing are...

  7. Strict Attendance Guidelines..

    PiedPiperRN replied to RescueGrrl211's topic in General Students

    I work as an aide in a hospital. Yes, in a perfect world no one with a contagious (sp?) condition would ever come to work. However, we don't live in a perfect world. We work in the real world,...

  8. Help with care plans! nursing diagnosis.

    PiedPiperRN replied to LatinaRN978's topic in General Students

    I would say dehydration (fluid balance) due to the fact that your patient is probably

  9. HELP!! I need guidance I saw someone cheating

    PiedPiperRN replied to Brie80's topic in General Students

    I would talk to her about it first. Turning someone in will probably lead to expulsion, and perhaps this person would be a good nurse if she had some tutoring. I would tell her that you know she...

  10. Expelled :(

    PiedPiperRN replied to PiedPiperRN's topic in General Students

    Faith, do you feel comfortable about telling us what happened? I would also suggest talking to your advisor or someone else at the program that you trust. They can give you advice about the appeals...

  11. Expelled :(

    PiedPiperRN replied to PiedPiperRN's topic in General Students

    Looks like they do. Here is a list of states with exceptions and the exceptions that they have:...

  12. Bed Bath and making the Occupied bed (skill exam)

    PiedPiperRN replied to Nimby5956's topic in General Students

    The only comment that I would add is to wash thier back before changing the linens so that you do not get water on the clean linens. (But I use a lot of water). Another trick that you never see is to...

  13. Get CNA while waiting for Nursing School?

    PiedPiperRN replied to 1940apron's topic in General Students

    I strongly recommend being a CNA for a while. Everything that you learn in the class will be useful to you as a nurse. In addition, I think that it is more important to work (not just be certified)...

  14. Expelled :(

    PiedPiperRN replied to PiedPiperRN's topic in General Students

    Actually it was the dean that I ticked off, and so going through her isn't an option. It is a small program, with the higher ups "in each other's pockets", so going up isn't really an option. This...

  15. Should I be expelled?

    PiedPiperRN replied to casurfer's topic in General Students

    A similar thing happened to me, except that I asked a student who had taken the same class the previous semester for study tips. It was a fluid/electolyte exam, and she told me to look closely at...
