  1. I need some therapeutic communication!!!

    I TOTALLY feel your pain!!!! Ask any one of my NS friends what grade I got on any test and they will ALL answer, "88." I swear, darn near every single test in the 1+ years I've been in school has...
  2. Questions before applying to nursing school

    The best advice I have about nursing school, etc is to get yourself a glass of wine or whatever your poison and start digging through the sticky-ed posts at the top of each forum. There is a lot of...
  3. Dosage Calculation

    First, you have to determine what the question is asking and what info in the sentence is unnecessary. Second, you have to make any necessary conversions so that what is ordered and what is available...
  4. 2 year ACE program and wedding conflicts

    I agree with many of what has already been posted. Every program is different and no one will have any idea about what your schedule would be like unless they are enrolled in your specific program....
  5. New Graduate RN Essay

    Just start writing and see where it takes you. You can always go back and edit to your heart's content. YOU are the one applying for a job so you need to put YOUR OWN words into the
  6. What does your drug guide read? Did you read the contraindications of this medication? That's where I'd
  7. This is my first week back to classes and finally a senior. Yay! We weren't allowed to pick our classes or clinicals this year because of the computer issues. Ok, so now I have TWO things I...
  8. All electronics banned?

    I had two teachers last semester that did not allow laptops of any kind, recorders, or PDAs. The swore up and down that they were going to have more interactive lectures and we would do group work in...
  9. Why can't I get hired?

    I work as a tech. I'm also an older student. I knew early on that I NEEDED to find a tech job at the hospital to get some experience, make a few bucks, learn some, and get my foot in the door. I...
  10. What does your uniform look like?

    Let's just say I look like a giant Smurfette. Our uniform is all Landau royal blue. The girls can wear the mens' pants which is WAY better than what we are supposed to wear. A super taped pant...
  11. A big problem, need help :(

    I agree with Jolie. I think she needs to figure out where her weaknesses are. Just recently, my program made the senior students complete a "HESI/NCLEX Plan" as part of a grade. We had to go back...
  12. Do you sleep before your first nightshift?

    If I am returning to my 7p-7a shift after being off I try to stay up as late as possible the night before. I go to work tonight at 6:30 so last night I stayed up til almost 1am. I got up this...
  13. Final exam study guide for Pharmacology

    I'm not sure anyone here can help you if we don't go to your school. Every teacher and program teaches this class differently. We also would have no idea what would be on your final exam or how your...
  14. Ya know what I really hate about NS right now? just a little vent...add yours

    We had a good bit of that going on last semester. Our classrooms were built in like 1974 so not very modern. They are basically long, narrow rooms and you can pretty much hear every conversations...
  15. am i too old?

    Here's my $.02... I graduate in May. I'll be 40. I was married until a few years ago and I have one 10 year old daughter. Until I started back to full-time nursing school, I worked as a REALTOR...
  16. No Pinning Ceremony??

    Why not go to the associate dean or whomever and see about doing it yourselves? I'm sure you could find an instructor that has been there a while that could at least advise you. Our class officers...
  17. Note-taking tips

    Our teachers all post their Power Points on our program website for each lecture. Some students print them out 4-6 slides per page and others just type them in the PP itself. I type as I go in the...
  18. NCLEX

    You might find a lot more info searching through the NCLEX forum here. There is a LOT of good info there.
  19. Ya know what I really hate about NS right now? just a little vent...add yours

    Tyler, you are putting words in our mouths. Not one person here on this thread ever mentioned anything about attending to our patients nor is this what was intended in this thread. You are further...
  20. Ya know what I really hate about NS right now? just a little vent...add yours

    Dudette, I think I ::heart:: you. :redbeathe Don't you just love it when people compare apples to oranges nor can they make an intelligent argument?
  21. I start NS next Monday... Any advice ?

    The best advice I have would be to grab a glass of wine and start pouring through this forum. Start with the stickies at the top and work your way down. There is a LOT of info in those threads and...
  22. Ya know what I really hate about NS right now? just a little vent...add yours

    I'm really biting my tongue..... I do have to say that no one that has posted has asked for an ounce of special treatment. This really has nothing to do with kids but more about teachers respecting...
  23. I failed nursing school and need some advice!

    Dudette, I applaud you and your post and how you 'said' it. I totally agree with your advice 100%. I would also say to the OP that in addition to addressing those two things, you also need to...
  24. Bactrim post-op?

    Is this part of a class assignment or for your own personal needs? I see that this is your first post. If you have this as a class assignment, we love to help around here but we like to see folks...
  25. Ya know what I really hate about NS right now? just a little vent...add yours

    There was a LOT of that going on at our school too. The bookstore would say that it was the nursing school that didn't give them the book list, then it was the nursing teachers that would say the...
