  1. Do people view male nursing students differently?

    anonymousstudent replied to LeO13's topic in General Students

    I'm not trying to be rough when I say this, I promise. But welcome to the world of the other half of the human race. There are very few careers women can go into without getting that crap. Sure...

  2. need gift ideas for a graduating nursing student

    anonymousstudent replied to anonymousstudent's topic in General Students

    Oooo...a job. I'll do

  3. teaching care plan

    anonymousstudent replied to msbj301's topic in General Students

    OK. With any teaching paper, you first have to ASSESS the patient. Or in your case I guess you need to assess the class. What do they already know? Don't ever waste a patient's time teaching them...

  4. Mini Dripper?

    anonymousstudent replied to simi09's topic in General Students

    What did the package say? They are probably the same. Micro = 60 gtt/mL. It actually created easier gravity drip

  5. feeling down

    anonymousstudent replied to nick4030's topic in General Students

    There's just no way you can remember everything. If you get to the end of your nursing program and you know WHERE to look if you don't know what you need and you can take that information and make a...

  6. Testing out of a class

    anonymousstudent replied to Graduate-PN's topic in General Students

    The reality of higher education is that they can do what ever the heck they want, charge what they want, make up policies, etc, and you don't have a choice. I doubt they're telling you something...

  7. Is anyone having problems deciding between AAS in Nursing versus BSN?

    anonymousstudent replied to skyheaven477's topic in General Students

    I am in a program for people who already have degrees. It's through a community college. While it will take me a little longer than it would have to go through the accelerated programs around here...

  8. I stink at peripheral pulses

    anonymousstudent replied to queenjulie's topic in General Students

    First of all, can you feel it on yourself? Don't be afraid to take a little bit of time and really look for it. Patients don't notice, care, or perceive time the way we do in clinicals. What feels...

  9. TDaP Vaccines

    anonymousstudent replied to PinkNBlue's topic in General Students

    It may have had something to do with your patient. I gave this IM last clinical and there was no specification on the site. The patient chose to have it in her arm, but I offered her VL and

  10. Instructor giving me low acuity patients

    anonymousstudent replied to cogath's topic in General Students

    This is what happens at my clinicals. Another aspect is who's on shift that day. If there are competent, student friendly nurses on the floor that my instructor can trust, more of us get complex...

  11. How to explain how hard you have to work in nursing school

    anonymousstudent replied to guest10's topic in General Students

    Don't waste your breath. I know that's kind of bleak, but honestly if they don't have enough sense to know that school is hard work, they aren't going to have an epiphany based on your skill at...

  12. Really worried about my pharmacology class? Can anyone offer some advice?

    anonymousstudent replied to wannabeanRN90's topic in General Students

    How are you studying? (When you have time...) Here are the things that helped me with pharm: 1) group drugs by prototype, and learn the prototype. At that point you learn the things that are common,...

  13. Does Oxygen need to be prescribed?

    anonymousstudent replied to seasoned hopeful's topic in General Students

    Me

  14. Is Drama a Pre req?

    anonymousstudent replied to echo56's topic in General Students

    I'm in a program with adults (I think the youngest is mid-late 20's) and we don't have much of this. I LOVE it. :) There is some crazy stupid competitive crap though, which is some aspect of drama...

  15. mi vida loca

    anonymousstudent posted a topic in General Students

    Staff?!

  16. Need help with care plan for someone with pneumonia and C.Diff

    anonymousstudent replied to abox's topic in General Students

    I don't understand why you aren't writing this care plan on pneumonia? Surely the respiratory instability trumps nutritional concerns at this

  17. Will hospitals hire new grad RN's who are over 40?

    anonymousstudent replied to northmississippi's topic in General Students

    You probably have a better chance, since you've had a lot more work history and will be able to produce great references. I also get the impression that in most medical situations, age is an...

  18. is oxygen considered a medication?.. what do you think?

    anonymousstudent replied to lvnnars1's topic in General Students

    I'm not going to tell you where I'm from. I'm trying to be anonymous. Can you tell? lol But I supervised 2 guards with O2 certs, and if they could give somebody O2, there's no reason why every...

  19. test bank questions

    anonymousstudent replied to julimom's topic in General Students

    Yes, studying the questions on the test before you take it is cheating. Good for you for not doing it, don't get sucked

  20. I'm pregnant!!

    anonymousstudent replied to CrunchyMama's topic in General Students

    When I was hiring I never hired a pregnant woman, but I hired 2 men who had pregnant wives that would be delivering soon after they started - our agency gave 6 weeks for the dads as well. If they...

  21. is oxygen considered a medication?.. what do you think?

    anonymousstudent replied to lvnnars1's topic in General Students

    I don't think it's a drug. The same way NS via IV isn't a "drug." But it does require an MD order. You know that some lifeguards can administer oxygen, right? Makes you wonder why a nurse with...

  22. Failed a Med Pass Today

    anonymousstudent replied to Chris189's topic in General Students

    My instructor specifically told me to walk away from documenting an injection the other day because I had to do something else. She said to come back to it, and I did, about 25 minutes

  23. How did you get through clinical rotations that you had no interest in?

    anonymousstudent replied to mell260's topic in General Students

    I don't love OB either. I jump at every opportunity that comes up though, just to get the experience - removing staples, removing IV's, etc. They're not huge skills, but it's better than being...

  24. Anybody NOT feel like it's taking over?

    anonymousstudent replied to OBplease's topic in General Students

    No taking over here. I don't let it. I don't freak out about things. I do what I can and then I let it go. If I didn't study enough, oh well. I'm working hard but I'm not going to kill myself for...

  25. Considering ttc while in school - advice pls

    anonymousstudent replied to Anon2011's topic in General Students

    You can always redo a classes if you need to. Your whole life does not revolve around your career. You'll retire, right? You children will always be with you. I agree about ttc so you'll deliver a...
