  3. Do you call your teachers by their 1st names?

    anonymousstudent replied to noyesno's topic in General Students

    First names here too. I think it depends on the kind of relationship needed to educate nurses. Some courses I can see using Prof. XYZ, like mostly lecture based course such as Pharm. (Though even...

  4. Can someone help me figure out why I missed these questions?

    anonymousstudent replied to DayDreamin ER CRNP's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    OK, I'll help with a few. TPN - The major risk in TPN is rebound hypoglycemia, which is life threatening. You'd want to check the levels at the start just to make sure that was not happening and...

  5. CARE PLAN- Low socioeconomic status HELP

    anonymousstudent replied to radioradio's topic in General Students

  6. Noob Question: HIV/AIDS and Injection Practice

    anonymousstudent replied to Noob_to_Nursing's topic in General Students

    We aren't allowed to practice on eachother and I really feel like it's a huge disadvantage for me (and for my patients early in my career!!!). With that said, I would not be worried about this in...

  7. Disappointing First Clinical Experience

    anonymousstudent replied to nikkole318's topic in General Students

    My first clinical was very similar. We did assessments. And then assessments. And then...more freaking assessments. But they were broken up by system, so it would take maybe 5 minutes to do it....

  8. Tell me the truth...

    anonymousstudent replied to Adams_Mama_07's topic in General Students

    If withdrawing to take care of your family makes you look bad to them and undesirable for thier program, you shouldn't go there anyway. I think you'll be fine. Sorry for all of the

  9. Help! I missed this question...why?

    anonymousstudent replied to californiadreaming's topic in General Students

    OH...I did not take this literally enough. I think your 3rd and 4th responses are right on. She's asking if you should use the pipette to actually puncture the skin and collect blood!?!?!??!!?! I'm...

  10. Help! I missed this question...why?

    anonymousstudent replied to californiadreaming's topic in General Students

    That's interesting...I've never seen that. My son has had 2 specimens taken recently, both via finger stick and pipette, one in the Children's lab and one at the ped's office. So this is being...

  11. Need student feedback for orientation ideas

    anonymousstudent replied to epinephRN's topic in General Students

    I think you should just keep it positive. My experience has been that everybody blows everything WAY out of proportion to reality. My orientation was the most depressing thing. They had 2 students...

  12. Clients? Are they no longer patients?

    anonymousstudent replied to bassadict69's topic in General Students

    I agree that in SOME situations client is appropriate. Mental health for sure. And I would never call a person living in an assisted care facility a patient...surely resident or something else would...

  13. Critical Thinking Skills

    anonymousstudent replied to living on faith's topic in General Students

    Have you gone over your test yet? Go in to your prof. and sit down and go through every question. Understand why you missed it. Pay special attention to how they are wording things. I missed a...

  14. Search for grad nursing salary info...

    anonymousstudent replied to AJCastellaneta's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Just call the hospitals in the area you're looking to move and ask them what the starting rate is. I had to do this for a scholarship application and the HR people were more than willing to help

  15. Can anyone become a nurse? When do I give up on being a nurse?

    anonymousstudent replied to satyadhi's topic in General Students

    Are you failing based on the lecture portion of the course or the skills aspect? If the latter get yourself into lab and PRACTICE. If the former I agree to get tutoring, get a study group, find a...

  16. What percent of dextrose is appropriate for TPN?

    anonymousstudent replied to LocalGal's topic in General Students

    20% is too high. The vein will not tolerate that much. I wouldn't go more than

  17. Clients? Are they no longer patients?

    anonymousstudent replied to bassadict69's topic in General Students

    I HATE the term "client." As if we aren't reminded enough that health care is a big business...out to make $$$. I say patient. And I write patient. All of the texts our teachers are using use...

  18. Child care and nursing school

    anonymousstudent replied to mydee's topic in General Students

    You both just have to figure this out. There is a time for everything. I've been on hold for a while while my husband worked on his PhD. Now it's my turn. In our case that allowed him to get a...

    anonymousstudent replied to btjaj89's topic in General Students

    anonymousstudent replied to emptyboxcars's topic in General Students

    Part of what you have to do is to figure out what your teacher is going to focus on. There is NO WAY s/he is going to test you on all of that info. One of the best things you can do as a nursing...

  22. OB question...mag sulfate

    anonymousstudent replied to Mike V's topic in General Students

    Sorry for the lack of help here! Is she taking an opioid analgesic as well? I imagine she would be after a c-section. You could do risk for respiratory distress r/t compounded effects of CNS...

  23. Some advice regarding a nursing instruuctors integrity

    anonymousstudent replied to pinkfluffybunny's topic in General Students

    Are you sure the meeting is about you? From what you said it sounds to me like there are some issues with your clinical instructor. That, or the one you told really doesn't like your teacher. I...

  25. Should I even be here taking up space?
