    Why wont Drexel allow NY students to Participate online??

    anashenwrath replied to missmo1984's topic in School, College Programs

    Is this still the case? Bcs Drexel came to my school in New York specifically to recruit for their online program. I'm going to their Open House in March. Sooo if they aren't accepting NY students,...

    Pls help with prioritizing diagnosis

    anashenwrath replied to mrd0618's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    You hit it on the head at the end: use your ABCs when prioritizing. Anything that compromises the Airway is priority--and the risk for aspiration r/t dysphagia is most acute, and therefore the biggest...

    Should you arrive on time or super early for job interviews?

    anashenwrath replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    I almost always overestimate how long it's going to take to get somewhere. I'm convinced the trains are all going to be down, traffic is going to be terrible, Godzilla will attack... I'm just positive...

    "Don't tell her why she's here"

    anashenwrath replied to anashenwrath's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    Thank you both. I'm realizing this was a much more serious issue than I first thought. I go back on Saturday, and if the patient is still there I'm definitely going to look for more information and...

    How often do you study per day or per week?

    anashenwrath replied to baluesunlight's topic in General Students

    I only studied on weekends (and not much or well) for the first half of my degree program. It worked for me until MedSurg II and Pharm, and suddenly I went from Dean's List to failing! I strapped...

    Misdirected aggression

    anashenwrath replied to malenurseFl's topic in General Nursing

    When I tell people I'm in nursing school, I usually get a lot of: "Wow, that's amazing/noble/special." Followed by some personal story about a great interaction they've had with a nurse. I guess I've...

    Patient refusing Hospice

    anashenwrath replied to jammycakesRN's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    I'm sorry to hear your patient passed. But I hope that, like you said, he (and his wife) will be able to get some peace now. And I hope you will get some rest too! You put a lot of effort into the...

    anashenwrath replied to Joe V's topic in News, Announcements

    I've written up a couple of ghost stories to submit for Halloween, but I'm having some trouble figuring out the best area to post them under. Is there a section that is best for fiction? I'm thinking...

    What am I doing wrong (heparin SQ)

    anashenwrath posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I've been noticing a trend when I inject heparin and want to make sure I'm not doing something wrong. When I inject, I'm seeing the almost immediate formation of a nodule at the injection site. It's...

    What am I doing wrong (heparin SQ)

    anashenwrath replied to anashenwrath's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Thank you so much everyone! I am really glad to hear that I'm not crazy for thinking my professor was making an error. Luckily, I had a great clinical experience last year, so I kind of know when...

    What am I doing wrong (heparin SQ)

    anashenwrath replied to anashenwrath's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Thanks. My instructor has definitely watched me--I don't know if she's a bad instructor or what but she's not acting like it's something that I should be concerned about. She actually just sort of...

    Night shift- when do you exercise?

    anashenwrath replied to MJB2010's topic in General Nursing

    I have the good fortune of a 24-hour planet fitness down the block from my apartment. So, if I have the motivation to exercise, I'll stop there on my way home, do a 45 minute run or lift some weights....

    Why an X-ray instead of an MRI

    anashenwrath posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Hi all, First year student here! I was hoping someone could assist me with my care plan and a question my instructor asked regarding my patient. The patient was a 67 yo male with a history of...

    Why an X-ray instead of an MRI

    anashenwrath replied to anashenwrath's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Ok, thanks for the feedback! So it's sounding like I'm on the right track thinking it has to do with the nature of the MRI and not something specific with my patient. I'm not positive what...

    Friend always wants to "take a look at" my work

    anashenwrath posted a topic in General Students

    My closest friend in class is a little bit of a procrastinator. He always barely passes his tests and is always panicking at the last minute over stuff. But he's a good friend and his heart is in the...

    Wow, I'm sorry you're going through this. I don't get how people can be so petty over something so stupid! I would just let it go. Unless your class is small enough that it really seems like the...

    Worried. Am I making the right choice??

    anashenwrath replied to SBJustBreathe's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I feel like nursing is excellent bcs it has so many branches you can take. I don't see any reason why you can't reconcile your two loves. That being said, it is your life and you need to take a deep...

    Dystonia vs dyskinesia

    anashenwrath posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Hi all, Could someone help me sort out the difference between dystonia and dyskinesia? My book is sort of unclear. Here's how I understand it: Dyskinesia covers a range of movement disorders, of...

    Who's Drinking Haterade?

    anashenwrath replied to mzrainydayz's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    first of all, "haterade": love it! Secondly, I agree that it's primarily jealousy. Or maybe just a feeling like they're "stuck" while they see you as someone moving forward. I don't work in a...

    oddly related?

    anashenwrath posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'm a first-year student, and we just started our psych rotations. I'm writing up my care plan, but the notes I took from reviewing the patient's chart are very haphazard (I was short on time). Her...

    Heading Back to School -- Hitting a Brick Wall

    anashenwrath replied to funky917's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm in the same boat. Bachelors degree (and working full time) does not get you a lot of financial support. I would recommend scholarships as much as possible. Apply for every single one your eligible...

    First of all: CONGRATS!!! I agree with the verrry good advice of learning how to manage time (both academically and personally). Figure out what helps you minimize stress (cooking, meditation, working...

    Does anyone know how a nursing program contacts you for an interview?

    anashenwrath replied to stephy153's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Honestly, it took a while!!! Let's see, I took my NLN and completed my application in April and I got my acceptance in mid-June, so the interviews had to be in May. So at least a month went by! And...
