  1. What med-surg book do you use?

    DayDreamin ER CRNP posted a topic in General Students

    Just a little informal poll here.... I took my med-surg HESI this week and did ok. I scored lower than I anticipated but I'll have an A in the class and that makes me super happy. Anyway, I was...

  2. Tornado Evacutation

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

    Yes! We pull the blinds so the patients can't see all the wind and debris that is likely to be flying around and it is to prevent glass from blowing in too much in the event the windows do shatter....

  3. What med-surg book do you use?

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

    That was our required book too. To say that we "used" it would be a bit of a stretch. I have not looked at any other med-surg book but I found the Lamone book to be disorganized and frustrating to...

  4. What med-surg book do you use?

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

    That is the main one the HESI referenced. I'm considering trying to find a used, older edition copy on half.com or somewhere just for

  5. Tornado Evacutation

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

    Horizontal evacuation then vertical but that rarely could happen. You can evacuate that many people vertically. I live in Tornado Alley and if there is a grey warning, meaning a tornado has been...

  6. Do you remember???

    DayDreamin ER CRNP replied to K nurse-one-day's topic in General Students

    I remember it well!!! I'm an older student and was really unsure about acceptance because there was a GPA requirement and there was always talk about what the school looked at to compile your GPA....

  7. I don't know what to do with myself.

    DayDreamin ER CRNP replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in General Students

    I hear ya!!! I have 6 weeks off before I have to go back for 2 summer mini-courses. I did start a patient tech job 2 months ago so I'm trying to work 2 nights per week but I'm really, really hating...

  8. New CNA, need help with speedy vital checks.

    DayDreamin ER CRNP replied to keithjones's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm a tech too but I don't really have any super helpful tips for you. For me, I start my Q4 vitals 30 minutes before they are actually due so I'm usually close to being on time to get the results...

  9. Frustrated and Nervous

    DayDreamin ER CRNP replied to cupcake231's topic in General Students

    Girrrrl, I would have never gotten into or through school myself!!! I pass flat OUT when I have any blood drawn. The nurse/tech sticking and drawing can be the most gentle and more experienced and I...

  10. Hard to believe but....

    DayDreamin ER CRNP posted a topic in General Students

    In 24 hours I will be a senior nursing student! I have my last HESI exam for the semester tomorrow and I know I'm going to do well. I am really excited about the upcoming freedom of summer. I will...

  11. How did you maintain school and work?

    DayDreamin ER CRNP replied to purple*11's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a single mom to one but my ex lives on the same street as I do and my parents are a great help. I did not have time to work and go to school full-time during my first and most of my second...

  12. Should I continue or should I not?????

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

    I could have written your post 3 years ago. I was 37 at the time so pretty close. I am very lucky that my ex lives just a few blocks down the same street. I also have a great group of neighborhood...

  13. Am I getting this right? (math/concentration ??)

    DayDreamin ER CRNP posted a topic in General Students

    Doc's order includes wound irrigation with 2/3 strength 3% hydrogen peroxide and normal saline every 4 hours while awake. You will need 60mL per irrigation and will do 3 irrigations during your...

  14. Is this too many courses???

    DayDreamin ER CRNP replied to Misslady113's topic in General Nursing

    It seems like a lot to me. If you are taking chemistry you are probably taking a lab too right? Math and chemistry usually have a lot of homework with the class and finding time to do that with the...

  15. VENT--Boundaries please!!!!!

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

    I know this is the same guy that visits his mom in my grandmother's nursing home every single day and night because "visitors eat free." How did you not hit this guy when he flicking your scope? I...

  16. How many mEq's of K would it take to kill a 54lb woman?

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

    You aren't looking hard enough and/or not in the right place. I totally agree with this too. You will not learn a thing if we tell you. Keep looking and figure it out. You will be way more...

  17. Study groups... To be or not to be?

    DayDreamin ER CRNP replied to RPN_2012's topic in General Students

    I NEED a study group. I've studied with the same girls for the past 2 years of school and could not make it without them. There are really just 4 of us but each of us bring something to the table....

  18. Am I getting this right? (math/concentration ??)

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

    yep! Thanks. I just can't figure out what they are actually asking on this question - how the teacher wants it answered anyway. I answered, "120 mL of hydrogen peroxide, 60 mL of NS." that is...

  19. LPN/RN thoughts?

    DayDreamin ER CRNP replied to avecar10's topic in LPN to RN

    Do a search. It is discussed here a

  20. My class just had 20ish ppl fail because of the HESI...

    DayDreamin ER CRNP replied to ShannonRN2010's topic in General Students

    I'm not a fan of using the HESI as a must-pass exam to graduate. I think it is BS actually. My BFF graduated about 6 years ago from the program I'm doing now. She made "benchmark" of 850 on the...

  21. Best Shoes for Nursing

    DayDreamin ER CRNP replied to mooremds's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Just an FYI, if you have wide feet and want super-cush, you should try the Vomero. A lot of Nikes come in wide widths but, sadly, the Air Max don't. The Vomero is a great option. I switch between...

  22. What happens now? Am I in trouble?

    DayDreamin ER CRNP posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am working as a tech (CNA) while I'm in nursing school. I'm working on a family practice floor where I do my clinicals. The other night I was at the station and a bed alarm went off in the room...

  23. help a new scrub nurse

    DayDreamin ER CRNP replied to JadeRN7's topic in Ob/Gyn

    does your facility offer a periop program? All of the scrub nurses and circ nurses have to take these classes before they can work in the OR. If they don't have one, ask to see if any of the other...

  24. Labor and Delivery Nurse Questions

    DayDreamin ER CRNP replied to seemerun79's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think there is a way to guarantee any nursing job on any unit unless your mom or your BFF is the nurse manager. I would also not put all my eggs in one basket either. I used to think there...

  25. What happens now? Am I in trouble?

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

    This is a good point. I would agree with you but I think this guy was initially drug seeking anyway and I am pretty sure he was taking his "regular" meds at the time. Now, I have no way of knowing...
