  2. New Grad Entitlement

    JROregon replied to SunshineAnytime's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I take "fake it 'til you make it" to mean giving the patients the perception that I wasn't going to harm them. I do also believe that it is hard to be humble and hard to ask questions as a new...

  3. Math Again

    JROregon replied to RNrerun's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I like dosagehelp.com. Simplifies the questions. Like jmdRN says don't "over" convert your grams and milligrams. If you have a problem with both mg and gm, just convert one to the other. When you are...

    JROregon replied to lanebr85's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    JROregon replied to kht124's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    You're kidding about looking at different websites during class, right? I am in an ADN program and people use their time in lecture to listen and take notes. That is a much better use of your time...

  8. Math Help for Returning Nurse

    JROregon replied to RNrerun's topic in General Students

  11. The best hairstyle for female student

    JROregon replied to Raewynv's topic in General Students

    Anything that will keep your hair out of your face, your mouth, and won't touch your patients when you are leaning over. I finally grew out my short layers so I can pull it all back. I always like...

  12. Does your class have a facebook page?

    Yes, we have a private group and it has really helped with people needing to remember due dates and get assistance with APA standards for writing papers, translating instructions on a rubric, math,...

  13. Nursing programs that take low gpa students

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

    At my school, a community college, they only count the classes that have a big effect on how well you'll do in nursing school. So the pre-requisite sciences, psych, and nutrition classes are given...

  14. Anyone taken Informatics

    JROregon replied to ImThatGuy's topic in General Students

    I wonder why they need to offer a whole class like this and not a 2 hour lesson. Same with dosing math. Do students really need an entire term of this? Bring a

  18. Failing 4th semester....feeling like a failure

    JROregon replied to Leesha's topic in General Students

    I agree with the above posters. Take some time off school. Find a job as an LPN if that is what you want to do. Maybe take some non-nursing classes. There are a lot of schools that can take you in as...

    JROregon replied to NurseB_'s topic in General Students

    At age 22 now, you will still be very young when your 4 years are up at that small-town hospital. At age 26, you will have the kind of experience that big city hospitals want and you'll be more...

  23. IM injections, to aspirate or not?

    JROregon replied to Pia Mater's topic in General Students

    My 2 cents .... the flu shot is only 0.5 mL of solution in the deltoid muscle. Such a tiny amount, you wouldn't need to use the z-track method. The Z-track only needs to be used with large quantities...
