  1. School nursing

    Tarabara replied to Tarabara's topic in School

    Thank you for your responses! KatieQ, what kinds of basic info should I look up in my text or online? We've just learned about giving medications and feedings through g-tube, and i had a lot of...

  2. Out of shape, how can I prep for clinicals??

    Tarabara replied to theantichick's topic in General Students

    I was worried about this too before my last semester. I too am way out of shape and i really wasnt sure if i'd be able to handle 12 hour clinical days, but I actually surprised myself and did fine, i...

  3. Excited for psych clinical!!

    Tarabara replied to decembergrad2011's topic in General Students

    I'm really surprised your psych rotation isnt until your 5th semester! I just had my psych rotation last semester (my 2nd semester) and I really think it should be during first semester because it...

  4. Moral/Ethical Advice

    Tarabara replied to chinacatSN's topic in General Students

    Wow I am shocked at how many people are saying to let it go or that its not the OPs business! That is truly sad to me If the student in question really is writing her own papers why in the heck...

  5. Am I over-thinking, or are these just bad test questions?

    Tarabara replied to chicken1's topic in General Students

    While I agree with some of what you said, I do want to add that we are suppose to tell pts their vitals when we take them because its important that our pts are active participants in knowing about...

    Tarabara replied to dreamingbig's topic in Arizona Nursing

  7. Mac or PC for ASU nursing students

    Tarabara replied to dreamingbig's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Tarabara replied to dreamingbig's topic in Arizona Nursing

    You should start on the same day as everyone else at ASU unless the first day is on a thursday. if it is on a thursday then you most likely wont start until the following monday. But we usually get...

  9. Worried about oral presentations!!!

    Tarabara replied to Darkpk55's topic in General Students

    I hate public speaking too but luckily so far in nursing school i've only had to do it twice, and both times it was a group project which is a lot easier than speaking by myself. The more you do it...

  10. ASU Nursing Program Spring 2011 hopefuls

    Tarabara replied to dreamingbig's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I'm currently a Jr 2 and we did not teach ourselves how to give injections, we spent a whole day learning them and practicing. I just gave my first IM injection yesterday and I felt very prepared for...

  11. How can anyone really decide

    Tarabara replied to moneyline702's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like you've already given this great thought and really looked at both options, so while I agree with above posters I wont go into the difficulties of med school. I am currently in nursing...

  12. Advice for those new RNs looking for jobs

    Tarabara replied to himilayaneyes's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I have a question about applying for out of state jobs, I would be willing to travel for interviews but only if I actually have a fighting chance at the job. Its too expensive to travel for interviews...

  14. Why I love allnurses ... seriously

    Tarabara replied to grandmawrinkle's topic in General Nursing

    I am a member of SDN too, mainly out of curiosity and I was floored at how rude they are! They dont even think their own classmates/colleagues are worth a darn, much less than nurses or anyone else...

  15. Days you are glad you are a Nurse

    Tarabara replied to Getreal2011's topic in General Nursing

    I like this thread, just wanted to bump it back to the first page

  16. May '11 grad in KY wanting to move to phoenix

    Tarabara replied to newnursein2011's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the above poster who said that if you have a job lined up in KY take that for a couple years before moving. I live in phoenix and its really hard right now to find any job, not just...

  17. Disappointing First Clinical Experience

    Tarabara replied to nikkole318's topic in General Students

    I do NOT think that I am above these types of tasks, and I completely understand that the hospital and staff where we have our clinicals are doing us a favor by allowing us to be there and therefore I...

  18. Disappointing First Clinical Experience

    Tarabara replied to nikkole318's topic in General Students

    I'm in my second semester and am really disappointed too. I still havent given a shot to an actual patient yet which i think is ridiculous. We didnt give any in long term care because we had like the...

  19. Psych rotation

    Tarabara replied to brokenroads27's topic in General Students

    I'm in my psych rotation right now, my entire class and I were apprehensive about psych because we didn't know what to expect and didn't want aggressive patients. However its been really laid back, we...

  20. Blood Pressure Blues

    Tarabara replied to metricalpound's topic in General Students

    If you notice you can see the needle jumps a little when the sounds start and stop, do NOT only go by the needle movement but if you think you heard it and you see the needle jump at the same time you...

  21. Clients? Are they no longer patients?

    Tarabara replied to bassadict69's topic in General Students

    Im in my psych rotation and my psych textbook never used the word "patient" once, its ALWAYS "client". It makes me so angry!!! They are NOT clients, they are PATIENTS! And thats what I will call

  22. Overwhelmed

    Tarabara replied to melissalynnb's topic in General Students

    Good news is you're definitely not alone, anyone in nursing school who doesn't feel like that at some point is in the minority! But unfortunately you'll probably feel like that off and on throughout...

  23. Critical Thinking Skills

    Tarabara replied to living on faith's topic in General Students

    You also have to think about what the question is NOT asking, like if one of the answer choices sounds right but it says something about the patient being pregnant and no where in the question does it...

  24. Advice on Nursing School

    Tarabara replied to my4helpers's topic in General Students

    Being able to memorize a text book doesn't make someone a great nurse, there's a lot more to it than that! I wouldn't worry too much because first of all its not like those are bad grades and second...

    Tarabara replied to kcvo's topic in Nursing Student Assistance
