  1. why is med/surg a hard class to pass??

    njmomstudent replied to 2bmalenurse23's topic in General Students

    LMAO!! Thats sooooooo true!!. If you use Lehne as a pharm book, the font is even smaller. Thankfully my med surg book is in two volumes instead of just one. There's about 2500

  2. why is med/surg a hard class to pass??

    njmomstudent replied to 2bmalenurse23's topic in General Students

    Well, it depends on the program. For mine, 1st year (fundamental, ob and peds, and a little medsurg) I had time to read the material a few times, and go over lecture multiple times as well. This last...

  3. Nursing students...I can't believe...

    njmomstudent replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Nursing

    I think its amazing that you are downgrading people who are about the same age as you. You have a goal to be a NICU nurse when you are just starting your program. How does that make you any different...

  4. How dare you!

    njmomstudent replied to sweetsleep28's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry, but if... "I was literally teaching this new nurse how to check G-tube placement, give PPDs, and insert foleys. Yes all of those things came up on my shift tonight. On top of also...

  5. why is med/surg a hard class to pass??

    njmomstudent replied to 2bmalenurse23's topic in General Students

    Usually, at the point where you're doing med/surg, the tests get much harder. Not in information, but the way the questions are asked. Add that to that fact, and you've also got atleast 3, if not ALL...

  6. Clinical etiquette: card for nurse on the floor??

    njmomstudent posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hello everyone. I'd really like your input on this if possible. I got to do my ICU rotation today for clinical and it was fantastic! I was handed off to one of the nurses, and it was mostly an...

  7. Clinical etiquette: card for nurse on the floor??

    njmomstudent replied to njmomstudent's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks so much everyone! I really like Dixielee's idea, and I truly appreciate all the feedback. Now I have to figure out when she's working

  8. When adults whine....

    njmomstudent replied to Anna Flaxis's topic in Emergency

    OMG I totally hear you. Then you get the ones who are whining whining whining and refuse all meds that will make them feel better...

  9. Working with student nurses

    njmomstudent replied to LisaRN1105's topic in General Nursing

    As a second year ADN student some of this totally blows my mind!!! I don't particularly care WHAT I see another nurse doing... I'm not going to say anything to them about it (and I have seen MANY...

  10. "Make sure to get induced...everyone does it!"

    njmomstudent replied to Penelope_Pitstop's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Heck no. OMG. Pitocin is evil. I have seen some people do wonderful with an induction, but I sure didn't. As far as the nurse telling her she can pick her baby's birthday... that's ridiculous. Some...

  11. Best Pharmacology Book?

    njmomstudent replied to karenmulder's topic in General Students

    I HATE Lehne. It contradicts itself all over the place. We used pharmacology and the nursing process last year and I liked that much better. First author is

  12. Uncomfortable feeling during dilitation check?

    njmomstudent replied to EMJrn's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm not a nurse yet, but for me, the check was awful. It wasn't too bad until I started having real contractions. I think some women are more sensitive than others. For some women it's simply...

  13. How do I get along well with my clinical instructor?

    njmomstudent replied to Hellostudentnurssee's topic in General Nursing

    I've noticed that most of the time people say an instructor is difficult is because they DO NOT COME TO CLINICAL PREPARED. Honestly, it would irritate me too if students came in asking a thousand...

  14. Block out the light!!!!

    njmomstudent replied to ksc0723's topic in General Nursing

    Its really not a big deal at all. It would take me all of an hour at the most. I know if I was working nights I would want that room pitch black. No sleep is pretty much torture (for me anyway), so if...

  15. Block out the light!!!!

    njmomstudent replied to ksc0723's topic in General Nursing

    Well, since I am a still a nursing student, I still have my former life in my basement, which is an industrial sewing machine for window treatments. If you are going to want to open them up from time...

  16. How to Handle Student Incivility

    njmomstudent replied to VickyRN's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I am currently a student. I love the instructors at my school. If I was an instructor I guarantee my students would hate my guts... and I wouldn't care one bit. Not only should students be respectful,...

  17. My first med error... Yikes!

    njmomstudent replied to RiverNurse's topic in General Nursing

    I had a nurse do that TO ME with doxy. EXACT scenario. I tried to tell her it was infusing too fast. I even had her come back in and look at. She swore it was fine. 5 minutes later when it was...

  18. Postpartum pericare

    njmomstudent replied to rn4babies63's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Betadine and antibacterial wipes??? I would think all that would cause even more irritation! I had an episiotomy. Peribottle at every toileting, pat dry, dermoplast for the first few days, and wash as...

  19. topics about fundamental in nursing

    njmomstudent replied to alisha2's topic in General Nursing

    It depends on what the student already have had. We didn't get pre, intra and post in one lecture. I would find out where they are in their

  20. topics about fundamental in nursing

    njmomstudent replied to alisha2's topic in General Nursing

    Pre-op is kind of boring. What about post-op with all the

  21. Planning a better experience for nursing students in the OR

    njmomstudent replied to canesdukegirl's topic in Operating Room

    You could send her a note explaining/apologizing that there wasn't time to teach her, etc. That would most likely make her feel a bit better. I know my circulating nurse felt sorry for me after the...

  22. Planning a better experience for nursing students in the OR

    njmomstudent replied to canesdukegirl's topic in Operating Room

    I am a nursing student and was just in the OR for a standard procedure. I had issues with the doctor that made me extremely uncomfortable, but thats a different issue. As far as your question, it...

  23. Should I leave nursing?

    njmomstudent replied to SnowShoeRN's topic in General Nursing

    EXACTLY!!! Why would not go for your psych NP?? You could actually do therapy AND write for scripts. Thats something thats hard to come by. People would flock to

  24. Night/Hospital gowns with side slits ???

    njmomstudent replied to Trekfan's topic in General Nursing

    If you need the slit to go all the way up the side, there's no reason someone couldn't open the side seam, then reinforce it, and even add snaps (like on the arms of some hospital gowns for those with...

  25. Dansko "dress code" at your place of work

    njmomstudent replied to tripsis's topic in General Nursing

    Also, when you are trying them on, don't be surprised if you need to go up 2 sizes. It depends on your feet, but if you feel them cutting into the top of your feet, go up a size. If they are still...
