  2. A & P and Nursing = Stress Overload

    Your not alone! I'm also a 2nd year student and 2 weeks ago my patient had to get an incision and drainage on the palm of her hand...the doctor came in and did it at the bed side. I was assisting by holding open the incision so he could place an irr...
  9. Do you call your teachers by their 1st names?

    We call all of our teachers by their first name besides the director and one teacher who wanted to be addressed as Ms.
  10. Our role in clinical?

    Are they not letting you all do meds and dressing changes and that sort of stuff??? When we are at the hospitals and aren't busy with our patient or patients we are encouraged by the teachers to help out in anyway we can...Most RN's have 4 or 5 patie...
  11. Then i would just say that. Pt unble to verbilize, grimaced and moaned when turned indicating pain. I know at my hospital that have a special section to assess pain with if they are nonverbal.
  12. Help with Chemistry!!

    I would def trying going on Amazon and buying a different book if it is the certain book you think is hard to understand. Try breaking it down and rewriting it your self. That stuff can be hard, its not just you! Just take the time to break it down...
  13. How much time do you *really*spend studying?

    Ok, well nursing must just come easier to you than others. But, people in my program study A LOT for tests...pretty much everyday. We are down to 17 out of the 50 we started with last august and we are in our 3rd out of 4 semesters. And i wasn't t...

  16. I'm not familar with a "process paper" but if you were assessing pain and there was no way for you to assess areas of pain, then i would just leave it out. How did you get the face grimace? Like when you touched the leg they made a face???
  17. Help with Chemistry!!

    I would say if you are struggling with something specific look on youtube. Sometimes there are animations or lectures to watch (that really helped me) Or you can just google for worksheets or quizes...or buy another brand of book you can read?
  18. Death of a great professor!

    I'm sorry, it is very scary! My nursing instructor (who is the nursing teacher I can understand the best, shes very good!) had a bad heart attack this past Monday. She was in the ICU and we were all very scared! Luckly she recovered, got discharged,...
  19. How much time do you *really*spend studying?

    The difficultly of each program obviously varies and the speed because if I studied 4 hours a week, I would no longer be in nursing I would have failed a long time ago. Our program says/suggests studying 3 times the credit hours, for me that would b...
  20. Thats the difference between and BSN and ADN. I'm in an ADN and in my 1st semester we did 4 clinical days at a nursing home, and 4 days at a hospital. Then in my second semester we did them basically all semester. 4 years VS 2 years, its a lot fas...
  21. How many of your schools require a pharmacology class?

    I'm in a ADN RN program and we do not take a pharm class....It is incorporated into all of our lectures and tests though. I think have the class would have helped me. If we go on to do the online BSN program I think most 4 years school require you ...
  22. How much time do you *really*spend studying?

    If we have a test a week or a week and a half a part, i dont study the night that i took the last test. But then after that I study about 4 hours on week days and about 6-7 on sat and sunday unless i have clinical that day.....I'm in an ADN program ...
  23. Have to share laundry facilities, washing scrubs?

    look on the tag to see any special washing directions. My scrubs are a dark maroon and the first couple times i washed them separate because they would have got the color on all the other clothes. But after 3-5 times I wash them with other colored c...
  24. Drug sheets or cards

    I would suggest readying about the different classes of drugs in a pharm boo and then getting the Davis drug book that comes with a CD and you can type in the name of the drug and then print out all the same info that is in the book on to a sort of "...
