  1. What is the grading in you school

    Jill2Shay replied to Kimynurse's topic in General Students

  2. Sterile Gloving Procedure

    Jill2Shay replied to Jill2Shay's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Watched the video. That's exactly how we learned it and how she did it. She never touched the outside of the cuff of glove #2 with glove #1. Her sterile gloved thumb #1 never touched glove #2, but...

  3. Sterile Gloving Procedure

    Jill2Shay replied to Jill2Shay's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Agreed. I thought it was total crap and doesn't make sense at all. She also told her she broke her sterile field *after* the catheter was inserted... my friend was uncoiling the collection bag from...

  4. Sterile Gloving Procedure

    Jill2Shay replied to Jill2Shay's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    UGH! My friend failed her catheter checkoff today because as she was picking up the second glove, her gloved thumb crossed into the airspace of the cuff as it was still sitting in the packaging. The...

  7. Losing respect for nursing students

    Jill2Shay replied to kjnsweets's topic in General Nursing

    THIS! I just finished my block one clinical rotation yesterday. There were quite a few CNAs that thought we were there to do their jobs for them. Our instructor simply told us that learning to be...

  8. Losing respect for nursing students

    Jill2Shay replied to kjnsweets's topic in General Nursing

    I would just like to say that my instructors wouldn't put up with that crap. One told us a story of a block 2 student who refused to do a bed bath for his patient because he did that last semester....

  9. Cheating in nursing School...

    Jill2Shay replied to NurseKis's topic in General Students

    I'm pretty sure our instructors write our questions... I've never even heard of a test bank nor do I understand how to use one to

  10. Wound Care

    Jill2Shay replied to Momofzra's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    They told us that too, but it's a good way to test that we can maintain a sterile field. We're being checked off on sterile dressing changes OR a catheter insertion, both maintaining sterile fields....

  12. Care plan goal help please :)

    Jill2Shay posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    During my assessment today I found a new stage 1 pressure ulcer on my patient. (I did report this to the nurse and wound nurse). I'm writing my care plan and looking to see if my goal is acceptable....

  13. Care plan goal help please :)

    Jill2Shay replied to Jill2Shay's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Awe! Thanks. I really struggle with the critical thinking part of nursing, so it's nice to hear

  14. I think I'm one of *those* kinds of students

    Jill2Shay posted a topic in General Students

    I'm half way through my first semester and I'm doing very well academically. Nothing so far has been very challenging. Time consuming? Yes... Academically challenging? No. But I am just not...

  15. I think I'm one of *those* kinds of students

    Jill2Shay replied to Jill2Shay's topic in General Students

    I read through that info about aspiration and it stated that it was only not recommended for vaccinations and immunizations. But I'll bring it up in class. The IM injection we gave was from ampule it...

  16. Dear Nurse...

    Jill2Shay replied to Okie36's topic in General Students

    Also remember that you were one not too long

  17. Need ideas for a FUN presentation!

    Jill2Shay posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    We're doing a group project and picked nosocomial infections. We need ideas for a 10 minute presentation that's not just reading facts and PPT stuff. Maybe a skit where we do lots of things wrong and...

  18. Need ideas for a FUN presentation!

    Jill2Shay replied to Jill2Shay's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I like that! When we did our hand washing pre clinical they put some invisible UV glowy stuff on some of the desks and then when we did the handwashing thing and looked under a black light, we got to...

  19. How do you get to sleep?

    Jill2Shay replied to eva123's topic in General Students

    I wish melatonin worked for me. I don't have a problem being tired, I have trouble shutting my brain off. I'll lay there for hours, completely exhausted, and not sleep singing a song over and over in...

  20. How do you get to sleep?

  21. 2.5 gpa Best way to get accepted in nursing program?!

    Jill2Shay replied to nurselife21's topic in General Students

    Find a program that's not competitive. The community college ADN programs in the Phoenix, AZ area are not competitive. There have got to be others. The programs in Cali are so saturated, we get lots...

  22. 1st semester clinicals..........more than I expected & can handle

    Jill2Shay replied to Calipso's topic in General Students

    Im 8 weeks in today as well and I just finished my second complete care plan. We're passing PO meds and we check off for injectables in two weeks. I've done three head to toe assessments and charted...

  23. Got rejected from several nursing programs. What are your coping mechanisms?

    Jill2Shay replied to TiffanyLe's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The local community college programs here aren't competitive. If you can make Cs in the prereques, you can get on the waiting list, which is about three years long now. They lose a lot of people who...

  24. "Throwing Out" questions on a test

    Jill2Shay replied to DawnJ's topic in General Students

    The rationale is that if most students missed it it wasn't worded in a way that the average amount of students understood it. With those scantron sheets they can get tons of statistics about how the...
