  2. Irritating Classmates

    JROregon replied to ImThatGuy's topic in General Students

    We only have mildly irritating people and I would say that only one was annoying due to opening packages of chips and cheetos several times during class. It's the orange powder on the fingers that...

  3. I am truly frustrated, please help...Critical thinking Quest.

    JROregon replied to Rconectn's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    So many questions on our exams are asking us to think like a nurse and decide what is the appropriate action to take right now, with this patient, in this particular situation. You have to draw a...

  4. Does Having CNA Exp Help so Much in Nursing School?

    JROregon replied to proudmommy's topic in General Students

    It is a pre-requisite to get into nursing school here. From the standpoint of nursing school being a large investment, I think it is a really good idea to have experience with patients. It may or may...

  5. GPA for California Schools

    JROregon replied to Eddiec28's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    For Oregon, OHSU runs BSN programs all over the state and they are extremely competitive. The private colleges are going to be a little less competitive but very expensive. In Hawaii, I think you'll...

  6. FIRST CLINICAL!!

    JROregon replied to NICURN2013's topic in General Students

    Work on what you've learned so far.... and find out what limitations you are under. If you've ever been a CNA that will put you way ahead in the first several months of clinicals. When you get to the...

  7. Nursing diagnosis

    JROregon replied to Sjump's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Impaired tissue integrity is another one. We have to focus on actual problems as well before delving into all the "at risk for"

  8. A little depressed..

    JROregon replied to texasmum's topic in General Students

    2nd term and I flunked a test for the first time 2 weeks ago and then got my first A on the next test. Not only do you have to know your stuff, you need to be able to read the question to see what it...

  9. What is too old for BSN?

    JROregon replied to TexasNurse2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Knowing what you want to do and then actually doing it is fantastic at any age. Most of the people in my nursing class range in age from 25-35. Their are some of us in the over 40 crowd and a few in...

  10. Can someone explain how a study group is at all effective?

    JROregon replied to bhanson's topic in General Students

    I haven't used a study group and have done just fine. I've always thought that I could make the most of my time studying for tests alone. I think it is helpful to look at other students' papers to if...

  11. Can nurses have facial piercings?

    JROregon replied to staceym's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Most hospital patients are going to be in the 60 and over crowd. They don't appreciate facial piercings and facial or neck tattoos. The hospital system that I do clinicals in won't hire someone who...

  12. Change of career from Bs in Computers to BSN

    JROregon replied to nursnovice's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think you need to do what makes sense for you at this stage of your life. Both the ADN and BSN programs are pretty time consuming in terms on class time, skills time (both training and showing each...

  14. Is it even worth it?

    JROregon replied to Awesomepossum's topic in General Students

    And... our instructors are always telling us to think outside of the box when it comes to finding your first job. Don't turn up your nose at the nursing job that will help you not only get your foot...

  15. Question

    JROregon replied to Karpekin's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    http://www.bvnpt.ca.gov/education/schools/vn_schools.shtml Here's a list of colleges in California that have LVN/LPN programs. Looks like a lot of "for profit" schools. You may want to sit down with a...

  16. High glucose levels, everywhere!

    JROregon replied to BA_anthropology's topic in General Students

    I was just listening to a podcast from The Nursing Show from Friday (1/21/11) about how blood sugars go up anytime the body is facing stress, you know, like having a test in 2 hours or walking down a...

  17. How did you know Nursing was/is for you

    JROregon replied to scrubs92's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    After working in a job where I had to do some interfacing with nurses, I just thought it sounded really interesting. This was more than 15 years ago. At that time, I never dreamed I would have the...

  18. High glucose levels, everywhere!

    JROregon replied to BA_anthropology's topic in General Students

    Seems like surgical patients have elevated BS just due to the extra stress on their bodies and the healing process. It's not good to have the BS too elevated though or healing is slowed down. Yes,...

  19. Question

    JROregon replied to Karpekin's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The pre-requisites depend on the college you want to go to. Is there a nursing school at the college you are attending? Is there a program for LVNs? Most college websites will show you both the...

  20. I got accepted!!! Book advice? any advice?

    JROregon replied to PequeSD's topic in General Students

    There is no way you can really prepare ahead of time but here are some ideas. Go out and buy yourself a NCLEX study guide. I bought a Kaplan 3 months before nursing school started. It will show you...

  21. CONFUSED...I thought 1 yr into a 2yr RN program, you can b LPN???

    JROregon replied to fleurafor's topic in General Students

    Also depends on your school. A few in my state allow you to get your LPN but you usually know that up front. You know, it will say in the catalog or on the school's

  22. SCHOOL??

    JROregon replied to Aleksandra's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Looks like it's hard to get your residency status in order to get priority (at Kapiolani) but you can still take the science courses (A&P, micro, psych, sociology, and chemistry). If you move...

  23. What is harder A&P or Micro?

    JROregon replied to aubreyeve's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Micro seemed a lot more detail oriented and those details required a lot of explanation on exams. Though I loved micro and playing with bacteria, the tests were really difficult. Still got an A but...

  24. Will you delete your Facebook account of you get into nursing school?

    JROregon replied to RscodADN10's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No, not planning on deleting my account. I work hard not to say anything that someone would find unsavory. I like to keep up with all sorts of people including those in my clinical group. The only...

    JROregon replied to Dazglue's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    If you can get a pharma book, go for it. Here are some more things we cover: When does drug therapy become most effective ? With a lot of the anti- depressant and anti-anxiety drugs, the patient may...
