  1. Nurses' Health Study Seeks New Student Enrollees

    anonymousstudent replied to nurseprnRN's topic in General Students

    I saw this posted at my clinical

  2. How expensive is U of Phoenix online

    anonymousstudent replied to pat8585's topic in General Students

    The question is how much will it cost you in the future. Around here, that is not considered a reputable education and while hiring managers won't eliminate a candidate based on a degree from there,...

  3. Education for a patient with CHF

    anonymousstudent replied to Joe1984's topic in General Students

    Yes, that is crazy. Moving to liquor is a further step toward alcoholism. The end doesn't justify the means. Replacing one bad habit in a patient with an equally bad habit at face value and a much...

  4. positive drug test

    anonymousstudent replied to tammy_zeidan09's topic in General Students

    Caffeine?! You have got to be kidding me. I think I'd straight up submit that to your school so they can have a good

  5. Best Drug Manual??!

    anonymousstudent replied to tammy_zeidan09's topic in General Students

    I use Davis's Drug Guide, it seems to be better set up for nursing considerations than some of the others I've

  6. Refusing the Influenza Vaccine

    anonymousstudent replied to TheAmazingMrsA's topic in General Students

    We are also required to get the vaccine. This is not like public school for a child where you can seek an vaccine exemption for various reasons and have it hold water. You have a right not to get...

  7. In urostomy (ileal conduit), what keeps bowel content from leaking into ureter?

    anonymousstudent replied to unsaint77's topic in General Students

    So the 3rd pic from the left (Cleveland Clinic source) shows it for you - like PP said, it's a total

  9. What exactly do you learn/do during clinicals?

    anonymousstudent replied to Darkstar1485's topic in General Students

    Baths...baths...baths...hm...baths... Oh! Toileting! Yes! You will get to do skills, but it takes a loooooooooooooong time, and it depends on the floor you're on and your CI. I'm in my last term...

  10. Kaplan, Lippincott & Saunders ... oh my!

    anonymousstudent replied to shay&lynn's topic in General Students

    Try Davis's Med/Surg Success books, they are far better than any you have listed so far. Saunders is a close

  11. I've probably just lost it all....

    anonymousstudent replied to Nolander's topic in General Students

    You have PLENTY of courses coming that will balance you out. Fundamentals is hard. I also got a C in that course, it was hard to swallow, but I went on to get A's and B's in everything else, and I'm...

  12. Recommended Stethoscope for STUDENT!

    anonymousstudent replied to tammy_zeidan09's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I'm using a Littmann Master Cardiology for adult rotations. It's great, I'd recommend it to anybody. I love not having 2 sides, it's quick to move and pick up different sounds. And I very much...

  13. Useful Apps for Nursing

    anonymousstudent replied to mssjez's topic in General Students

    I'm using Skyscape - it has Davis' among other things. It's been super

  14. Where do they find these clinical instructors?

    anonymousstudent replied to theantichick's topic in General Students

    It's not a pay issue here. They are making more than twice per hour what the floor nurses in our hospital make. I'm at a CC, so they seem to be treated like normal adjuncts - sink or swim. I've...

  15. Nursing Programs: Public vs Private Universities, does it really matter?

    anonymousstudent replied to gizzel84's topic in General Students

    If both are accredited and you get the same degree from both, go with the public

  16. Doctors at Clinicals?

    anonymousstudent replied to Juniper248's topic in General Students

    It has been dependent on the facility in my experience. I very rarely speak to attendings, but the residents are always around, and depending on the area of expertise, are more than glad to have...

  17. How to choose the CORRECT answer in the BOARD EXAM

    anonymousstudent replied to klouwey's topic in General Students

    I prioritize based on ABC, then Maslow. On ordering questions, I first stop the problem (if it's clear from the question what's going on), then assess, then procede with interventions listed. It...

  18. Any homeschooling nursing students?

    anonymousstudent replied to Melseal's topic in General Students

    I have pre-schooled through nursing school. It really hasn't been that bad. I don't make nursing school my life, or even close to it. I make the time I need, I get B's. I'm totally fine with that...

  19. Time Limits on Science Classes ??

    anonymousstudent replied to pat8585's topic in General Students

    I had to retake everything because of this

  20. PA!? what else is out there?

    anonymousstudent posted a topic in General Students

    Around here, we don't have PA's practicing. Just NP's. I'm sure they're around, but I've never encountered one. I had NO IDEA what a PA was. A friend of mine was discussing her daughter being seen...

  21. PA!? what else is out there?

    anonymousstudent replied to anonymousstudent's topic in General Students

    Ah - you'd think from some of the things I read that a PA and NP were equal. Actually, some things made it sound like the PA was better because the NP was "still a nurse." lol I had no idea there...

  22. How important is ATI???

    anonymousstudent replied to FORTHELOVEOF!!!!'s topic in General Students

    When we take ATI it's the other way around - level 3 is high, level 1 low. Anyway. I can't tell if it's useful or not. I guess it doesn't really matter because you (and I) don't have a choice in...

  23. Medical Terminology class--useful?

    anonymousstudent replied to sKris's topic in General Students

    I have not had medical terminology and I've not had a problem. Just to give input from that

  24. I hate nursing exams

    anonymousstudent replied to RNbethy's topic in General Students

    LOL Admitting wrong indicates that you are fairly close to

  25. I hate nursing exams

    anonymousstudent replied to RNbethy's topic in General Students

    You're just going to have to embrace this and move on. We almost never have to just regurgitate material for testing. That would be very unfair to you. You will never walk into a patient's room and...
