  1. How many people did you lose?

    mpihl replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Students

    We actually don't have an LPN bridge program. If your an LPN you just get extra points to be accepted into the program but you start at the beginning with everyone else. I wont know if any of them are...

  2. PCT ratio to patients 34:1 ..... how is this safe?

    mpihl replied to katehensley's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    At the hospital where I do clinical's thats about how it always is when I am there. However, the techs always do their vitals before anything. If they have time they answer call lights and do finger...

  3. Am I making a mistake by enrolling in an ADN program?

    mpihl replied to jacky8168's topic in General Students

    I think it depends on where you are wanting to get a job. The ADN students here seems to have little problem finding jobs in this area but the BSN students can have a problem finding one. I find that...

  4. Best time to buy textbooks

    mpihl replied to SC APRN's topic in General Students

    From my experience its always best to buy a couple weeks before classes start to get the lowest price. I buy some books through coursesmart.com. Its a digital book but you can look at it online so you...

    mpihl replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Students

    We started off with 120 students in my class 3 semesters ago. Last semester we had 101 students and currently only like 87 people are registered for our classes that start this month (and I'm pretty...

  6. Help/suggestions for student unable to find a job

    mpihl replied to number41's topic in General Students

    Where I live its really hard to find jobs as a nursing student in the medical field just because at the hospitals the jobs are usually already given to someone before they even announce they are...

  8. How to self-study Pharmacology?

    mpihl replied to LadySalubrious's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    We had to learn the generic name, trade name, drug class, actions, uses, major interactions, antidote, and adverse effects but we were also told to concentrate on the life threatening things. If you...

  9. Ebooks in Nursing School?

    mpihl replied to hannah87's topic in General Students

    I use ebooks whenever I can for my nursing classes (there is not many available though). I use coursesmart.com for my ebooks though that way I can still go and print off as many pages as I want to and...

  10. Accepted to 2 year nursing school and pregnant

    mpihl replied to junebugger's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    We have plenty of people in our nursing program (in various stages of it) that are either pregnant or have infants at homes. A couple people still continue going full-time and just have lots of help...

  11. Im 24 and I want to be a nurse badly but my age discourages me!

    mpihl replied to M.C.P's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Don't feel bad not everyone goes to school right away and not everyone graduates school right away. I will be 28 and just 30 days shy of 29 before I get my first bachelors degree. There are also many...

  12. Most useful pre-req in the nursing program?

    mpihl replied to LatinoHealthNut's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Anatomy Physiology was the most useful for me. I personally say the best thing to do for them is try to learn it the best you can that way you don't have to waste time in nursing school. If you don't...

  13. Any ME time at all during RN program?

    mpihl replied to LatinoHealthNut's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I think it will really depend on the hours at your school. I do not work out that much but I am married with 2 children, work 1 day a week, and I normally have plenty of time to spend with my family...

  14. Diabetic Ketoacidosis ( I think )

    mpihl replied to Stillawannabe's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Couldn't he just be experiencing hyperglycemia? You said he was hungry maybe he left around meal time but did not eat anything. This would also cause him to be acting differently than he was before. I...

  15. Midwestern State University

    mpihl replied to ser2011's topic in Texas Nursing

    When I was in the 2nd semester we did 4 - 5 hour shifts (or 2 - 10 hours depending on if your in DEU or not - but DEU has very few people) and then 2 - 6 hour community. However last semester they...

  16. Help on therapeutic communication techniques

    mpihl posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    If you had a patient who was talking about their medication and how they no longer were taking it but no real reason on why they stopped and you responded with "You stopped taking your medication"...

  18. Help on therapeutic communication techniques

    mpihl replied to mpihl's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    mpihl replied to ser2011's topic in Texas Nursing

    Last year they were not sent out until the end of April. You can always try to call, e-mail, or stop by her office and she can let you know a decent estimate of when to expect them or if you got in or...
