  1. Group project

    DayDreamin ER CRNP replied to Hospice Nurse LPN's topic in General Students

    This is exactly why I hate group projects too! There is always someone not pulling his/her weight. I hate throwing people under the bus but if *I* have the time to get my end of the work done, you...

  2. Fundamentals Analysis Question

    DayDreamin ER CRNP replied to swansonplace's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    What is the question asking? It is asking for the responses that form a pattern. What pattern does 2 & 6 form? What pattern does 1,3,5

  3. Shift Differentials?

    DayDreamin ER CRNP replied to SBarn's topic in Alabama Nursing

    Every hospital is different. Some do 10% for nights. Don't forget Baylor (weekend) hours either. I know of a few RNs that have been making 100k a year working Baylor hours. $100k around here is a...

  4. Careplan help: effective breastfeeding

    DayDreamin ER CRNP replied to Jen_RN11's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    What do you think some appropriate goals for a newborn would be? And what is normal? Break it down and see what you come up with. What milestones would we be looking for a breastfeeding infant to...

  5. Opinions and Experiences with Patient Restraints?

    DayDreamin ER CRNP replied to jax14's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, that. One thing that is unique to the floor I work on is that we often have an inmate (or 3) on our floor. An interesting angle might be the use of handcuffs vs what the hospital policy is...

  6. HESI

    DayDreamin ER CRNP replied to Nightingale11's topic in General Students

    Holy cr@p! I just counted and we take NINE HESIs before we can graduate! Fundamentals Psych Med-Surg 1 Med-surg 2 OB Peds Advanced Fundamentals (precept) - THREE but we only have to benchmark 1 out...

  7. HESI

    DayDreamin ER CRNP replied to Nightingale11's topic in General Students

    We have the $#@&* HESI and they want us to hit an 850 for the benchmark. I'm a first semester senior and we had one test our first semester and two last semester. I've hit benchmark 2 out of 3...

  8. Asking for help

    DayDreamin ER CRNP posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Why do you do other's work for them? I've seen so many posts lately from people asking for 'help' with a med calculation or help with a care plan or whatever. Why do so many people just GIVE the...

  9. Hospice or pain mgt curriculum in nursing school?

    DayDreamin ER CRNP replied to teach_hospiceRN's topic in General Students

    I am a senior in a 4-year BSBN program. We are doing some critical care lectures this semesters but I don't see a lot on the schedule for pain management or Hospice care. We had very little...

  10. Asking for help

    DayDreamin ER CRNP replied to DayDreamin ER CRNP's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    How have I had a narrow mind? And why won't you answer any of my legitimate questions but you are so quick to do someone's homework for them? Maybe my understanding of a narrow mind is 'off' but...

  11. Best White Scrubs

    DayDreamin ER CRNP replied to ishootu's topic in General Nursing

    I like Koi scrubs - love the pants. I don't have white pants but a few of my friends do and they look pretty good from what I can tell. They have a few new styles out this fall too including a new...

  12. Highchairs and Counters

    DayDreamin ER CRNP replied to flumazenil's topic in General Nursing

    As a someone that is vertically challenged, I don't care for tall chairs. A lot of tall chairs don't have a foot rest in a good place for those of us with shorter legs so they just dangle, then our...

  13. OB question...mag sulfate

    DayDreamin ER CRNP replied to Mike V's topic in General Students

    We were just talking about MgSO4 today in OB clinical. There are so many "ifs" and "buts" when caring for the patient on this. Try to focus on the ABCs and assessment stuff if using it as a...

  14. Asking for help

    DayDreamin ER CRNP replied to DayDreamin ER CRNP's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    So, you are willing to just spoon feed someone the answer to a question w/o bothering to explain why or how? What happens when he/she is on the floor needing to do a med calculation and doesn't...

  15. Pearls of Wisdom.....share yours

    DayDreamin ER CRNP posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I had a really great clinical day today. This is my Med-Surg II or what others may call Critical Care. I have a tough-as-nails instructor that really pushes us and expects a lot from his students....

  16. What part in the contraction pattern do you administer narcotics to mom?

    DayDreamin ER CRNP replied to zaksmomrn84's topic in Ob/Gyn

    This is a question my teacher asked on a test and I saw on a practice NCLEX test. What do you think the answer

  17. Being a mom in school

    DayDreamin ER CRNP replied to frogkicker's topic in General Students

    It depends on how much support you have with your ex, your parents, friends, etc. I am a single parent too and I could not study and go to classes w/o a good support system. I do work as a tech a...

  18. Being late for classes in nursing program....

    DayDreamin ER CRNP replied to Awright162's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I can only speak for myself and for my program. You probably wouldn't get kicked out of the program but you would have gotten chewed out for being late to class. If you are late to clinical, that's...

  19. Anyone taken an OB HESI?

    DayDreamin ER CRNP posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I have to take an OB HESI in a few weeks and I'm trying to get my mind right & be prepared. I have hit benchmark on 2 of my 3 HESIs and I really want to knock this one out of the park in case I...

  20. Anyone taken an OB HESI?

    DayDreamin ER CRNP replied to DayDreamin ER CRNP's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I have that Saunders book. I think we are also required to get the Lippincott book for one of our classes next semester. I'm going to give these a try. I just really want to KILL this HESI! Not...

  21. Index cards, how do you make them work for you

    DayDreamin ER CRNP replied to justbee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I use flashcards for some studying. I used the 5x8 sized index cards (unlined) to make my drug cards in Word. I simply typed them and set my margins and printed them. I also make my own flashcards...

  22. Why do we do this? Why do we allow it?

    DayDreamin ER CRNP replied to roser13's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not an RN yet, but I'm on my way. As a student, I understand the frustrations of not understanding a math problem or other concept but I also get frustrated when I see other students seeking help...

  23. Do you donate to your alma mater?

    DayDreamin ER CRNP replied to SharonH, RN's topic in General Nursing

    I will graduate soon and I will definitely NOT be donating any money to the school. Like many others have already mentioned, as much as they have nickle and dimed me to death, and then given us all...

  24. Confused about recapping in the medroom

    DayDreamin ER CRNP replied to giveface's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I agree with the others that you have to recap. I personally use the scoop method but it took me a few tries to get the hang of that. Why was the other nurse worried about sterility? Aren't you...

    DayDreamin ER CRNP replied to shelly_kaul's topic in General Nursing
