  1. I have been kicked out of my nursing program because of failed courses

    JROregon replied to olesya's topic in General Students

    I would also recommend going the LPN route and determining what caused you to fail a course. Getting upset about the goodies other people are getting is kinda silly even if what you are saying is the...

  2. Captopril

    JROregon replied to bsnwnab's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Yup!

  3. hi

    JROregon replied to ironay's topic in General Students

    Not sure whether to take your post seriously when you are not able to spell hepatitis correctly. What kind of nursing were you hoping to do? In other words, what kind of nursing "course" were you...

  4. Clinical Post Conference

    JROregon replied to lansgrl123's topic in General Students

    How else would I have gotten to know a group of eight GREAT people? Yeah, an hour was too long and it was nice to be able to have a snack or meal whilst taking. I would say that even a group of 9 is...

  5. Adrenaline? How to keep it in check?

    JROregon replied to MammaNurse2Be's topic in General Students

    Your adrenaline was what helped you to respond. You were able to keep it under control. There is no way to all of a sudden get rid of the adrenaline, just needs to slowly run it's course. When a...

  6. Why does anyone go into nursing?

    JROregon replied to guineapiglover2011's topic in General Students

    If every nurse was a completely sacrificing, loving and unselfish human being, we wouldn't need to get paid. I am so stinkin' thankful that every nurse I meet has a unique personality and unique...

  7. Which career to chose?

    JROregon replied to yuyu335's topic in General Students

    I don't want to speak for the original poster but usually when a person becomes a medical missionary, they donate their time to work in free clinics. Discussing their spiritual beliefs is secondary....

  8. Nursing School has it all wrong.

    JROregon replied to roscopeeco's topic in General Students

    Here's a little excerpt from the Arizona School of Health Sciences Handbook for PAs The Department advocates and values the following:  The A. T. Still “Body/Mind/Spirit” philosophy of healing...

  9. Nursing school or social life... Can't I have both?

    JROregon replied to Kayla34's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I will reiterate "time management". I am in an ADN program and about 1/3 of the students work at least half-time. Somehow they manage to work, go out on weekends and get decent grades. Get your...

  10. Late Decelerations and uteroplacental insufficiency

    JROregon replied to Cattnipp's topic in General Students

    The priority is getting O2 to the baby and either repositioning the mom (left lateral being the best position) or giving oxygen to mom is going to be the answer. You will likely see only one of those...

  11. Why does anyone go into nursing?

    JROregon replied to guineapiglover2011's topic in General Students

    The person who has a gift for selling stuff is the one who is going to make the most money. That was not my gift. I'm like a lot of people who have commented. I like a challenge, a job that changes...

  12. please nurses tell me how you did it :(

    JROregon replied to kitty222's topic in General Students

    I don't like the idea of using test banks but it is helpful to use practice questions. I really found that things really "clicked" when I picked up patients that related to my coursework. Helpful...

  13. 1/2 nursing class cut, WHY??

    JROregon replied to Aka Mommy's topic in General Students

    Our school also weeds during the application process. I was shocked that we lost someone in the first 2 weeks because the student didn't realize how much work the program was going to be. Pregnancy,...

    JROregon replied to milkcarton's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Just saying a bag is a

  15. How important is being physically fit in Nursing?

    JROregon replied to IntelCorei72600k's topic in General Students

    I've seen overweight nurses at the hospitals where I do my clinicals but it is rare to find an obese or morbidly obese nurse at these hospitals. I feel sorry for a couple of older obese nurses I have...

  16. Should I Quit My Job?

    JROregon replied to Iridescent Orchid's topic in General Students

    Not stupid at all. Save your heart out this summer. Don't buy anything that isn't an absolute necessity. Focus on your schooling and doing everything right. The only job I would keep is one at your...

  17. curious...how many units is one bag of blood?

    JROregon replied to milkcarton's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    One : ) One unit is 450

  18. Can I ask a few dumb questions?

    JROregon replied to Twinmom06's topic in General Students

    Abbreviations - you will build up your repertoire slowly but surely. I'm thankful I had a background in seeing medical notes because it can feel like learning a different language. Just ask what the...

  19. Could I be the only reformed misfit in nursing school?

    JROregon replied to KatePasa's topic in General Students

    Nursing is one profession where there are second chances. When you are able to grow and learn from a very difficult past, you can be something really special and an inspiration for

  20. Cell Phones in Class?

    JROregon replied to virgo,student nurse's topic in General Students

    I had my cellphone on silent/vibrate for 9 months out of fear it would ring in class. People who did have phones ringing in class did look like idiots. I was told of one person who had an issue with...

  21. pre-nursing student in need of an advise

    JROregon replied to yayi4's topic in General Students

    What does your college catalog say? Ours are not numbered that way but sometimes the difference is speaking to a large group versus speaking to another person or small group (interpersonal). I would...

  22. Help, My Nursing Cohort Dehisced!

    JROregon replied to Railgun's topic in General Students

    Very funny. Hey, I worry about the same thing happening as we get closer to graduation in about a year. The deal is, there is one huge employer in the area that everyone will want to work for and...

  23. So which semester is the hardest???

    JROregon replied to Java Mama's topic in General Students

    Depends on the school you go to. We have 3 terms per school year and students seem to have the most trouble when they start med-surg. They study like they are taking a test in A&P and really,...

  24. Do your instructors provide study guides?

    JROregon replied to ChronicUpset's topic in General Students

    We had one teacher that would pass out a very straightforward study guide. The rest would give us a few things we should know and more importantly, our thought process. The best advice I got was to...

  25. What are good shoes, socks, and a watch for a nursing student?

    JROregon replied to J-Swish's topic in General Students

    What kind of back support are you thinking of? A big belt would be impossible to keep clean because you would be taking it off and putting it on several times during a shift. Your back has very...
