  1. Super Stressed Out..Help!

    anonymousstudent replied to EMEddie's topic in General Students

    Government loans are deferred as long as you are in school at least 1/2 time, which I'm guessing your program will be? Depending on the loan, the interest will be deferred as well (payed by the...

  2. Finals week....the test that will decide everything

    anonymousstudent replied to rnintwo's topic in General Students

    Oh no! Sorry! Two things that help me with testing - Read EVERY word of the question. Some of the answers get disqualified right off the bat because they aren't applicable to the question. And...

  3. What is Med/Surge?

    anonymousstudent replied to Despareux's topic in General Students

  4. Denied Associate Degree Nursing

    anonymousstudent replied to mommy1017's topic in General Students

    I fully agree, you have every right to be very angry. Just don't come off that way. I agree with PP that you need to be very calm through this process. Can you get in touch with the professor who...

  5. IV Therapies

    anonymousstudent replied to AKsummers's topic in General Students

    ^^^I agree. Don't worry about it. Hopefully you'll have lots of practice on a dummy arm so you get the feel for it. Of all the skills we learn, it's really not that bad IMO. My advice is to...

  6. Good time to be finished with nursing school

    anonymousstudent replied to AddisonLawrence03's topic in General Students

    Wow...29? She better get her funeral arrangements in place and start tying up lose ends. I didn't start until after she will finish. I think there are advantages both ways, but from my view mine...

  7. I think nursing isn't for me.

    anonymousstudent replied to workinghardforit's topic in General Students

    We sound very similar. I had this kind of experience during my first clinical. I just didn't mesh with my clinical instructor, and she seemed very critical and I avoided her like the plague after...

  8. ASA and neutropenia

    anonymousstudent replied to alteredperception's topic in General Students

    My first thought was that it had to do with thinning, but when it appeared under the fever section of this document it threw me off. Perhaps it more accurately has to do with the inflammation...

  9. BFing/pumping while in nursing school

    anonymousstudent replied to mgalano's topic in General Students

    I pumped with no problems. :) Of all programs, this one should be sympathetic to the cause. Good luck to you! (Many hospitals have dedicated pumping rooms, check at

  10. ASA and neutropenia

    anonymousstudent replied to alteredperception's topic in General Students

    I found this publication: http://www.cc.nih.gov/ccc/patient_education/pepubs/cbc97.pdf A portion: (found on page 3) Check your temperature once a day when you are neutropenic. If your temperature is...

  11. Am I over-thinking, or are these just bad test questions?

    anonymousstudent replied to chicken1's topic in General Students

    I don't know what to tell you! I just took them and while I see your point, I answered them the way your teacher said they should be answered. Testing is a PITA, stick with it, you'll get used to...

  12. What to expect for your Fundamentals & your first clinicals!

    anonymousstudent replied to NICURN2013's topic in General Students

    Wow, this post digressed. lol I found fundamentals to be VERY hard. I'm not sure why either, I just had a heck of a time with it. I haven't had much problem since. It was a little hard for me to...

  13. tell me about L&D/PP clinicals

    anonymousstudent replied to anonymousstudent's topic in General Students

    So maybe I should be asking for ways to keep myself

  14. Is this even possible?

    anonymousstudent replied to EMEddie's topic in General Students

    There's a school here that offers a straight from any kind of generic Bachelor's to a MSN. Check around, ADN/BSN might be a huge waste of time for

  15. Critical thinking

    anonymousstudent replied to acantrell77's topic in General Students

    I was thinking about this the other day. I actually think the "critical thinking" line is bunch of garbage. (Go ahead and flame me. ) I think as you progress through nursing school you see a lot...

  16. Nursing Student considering NICU nursing

    anonymousstudent replied to nalaa83's topic in General Students

    A friend of mine works in the NICU. From what she says it's pretty different on many levels. She also mentions being routinely annoyed at the NP's who weren't nurses first in the NICU. Maybe that...

  17. sick! :(

    anonymousstudent replied to anonymousstudent's topic in General Students

    To those of you with gracious schools, be thankful! :) I don't really have the option to ask. I think if I were hospitalized I would be granted an extension, but that's about

  18. sick! :(

    anonymousstudent posted a topic in General Students

    SICK for real, I'm a mess. You'd think of all educational programs nursing school would have some kind of a "aw, you poor thing, you're sick! take those 3 tests in the next few weeks when you feel...

  19. Only an ADN

    anonymousstudent replied to latebloomer74's topic in General Students

    Yeah, I was thinking the same thing! I'm actually not even sure what the difference is between an ADN and BSN. Aside from an extra 3 quarters I have to do to get my BSN (which I'm sure I don't...

  20. Only an ADN

    anonymousstudent replied to latebloomer74's topic in General Students

  22. Stethoscopes

    anonymousstudent replied to kcmc08's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I am using a Littmann Master Cardio, I LOVE it. The diaphragm and bell are contained on the same side, which makes it easy to switch. I can hear everything with this. Like PP, you'll be prying that...

  23. Nclex Pass rate for your school

    anonymousstudent replied to CNM2B201?'s topic in General Students

    The best info I could find was from 2006, with a pass rate of

  24. Why do some people assume NS is easy?

    anonymousstudent replied to citylights89's topic in General Students

    I have honestly never had a person tell me that nursing school was easy. I usually get the opposite response, followed by a "how exactly do you have time for that" kind of statement. I honestly...

  25. Speed Shock

    anonymousstudent replied to MEDICJOHN's topic in General Students

    I'm worried that you are just now encountering this concept. I've had it beat into my brain in pharm and skills repeatedly. You are at risk of speed shock with any medication you give too quickly....
