  1. Its so Hard.....

    anonymousstudent replied to OhioCCRN's topic in General Students

    Scrape yourself together and get goin' girl! If you really don't want to do it anymore that's one thing. But if you just feel overwhelmed that's another. Get yourself organized, talk to your...

    anonymousstudent replied to anonymousstudent's topic in General Students

    I am joking. ( ) lol I fully expect ridiculous amounts of whining.

  3. to those of you who had the summer off...

    anonymousstudent replied to anonymousstudent's topic in General Students

    Are there not a lot of quarter students around here? I don't have the chance to "earn" my summer off...NS runs year

  4. Difficulty with TSI math exemption for nursing school?

    anonymousstudent replied to wannabeanRN90's topic in General Students

    You could brush up and take the CLEP instead. (if your school will accept that as a

  5. What kind of stethoscope?

    anonymousstudent replied to eleighton49's topic in General Students

    Take a look at this: http://www.shop3m.com/3m-littmann-master-cardiology-stethoscopes.html?WT.mc_ev=clickthrough&WT.mc_id=shop3m-AtoZ-Littmann-Stethoscopes It's $$$, but I love it. I'm not sure...

  6. Flu shot this year

    anonymousstudent replied to kenpochic's topic in General Students

    Yes, if you work there you have a choice to decline the shot. But what's being said to you is that the hospital/employer or clinical site also has rights. They have the right to boot you. Which is...

  7. Flu shot this year

    anonymousstudent replied to kenpochic's topic in General Students

    Give me the painful, numb arm any

  8. Flu shot this year

    anonymousstudent replied to kenpochic's topic in General Students

    I agree that you probably won't have a choice. I have never had the flu shot before last year. There was a huge shortage in our area of H1N1 (as I'm sure there were in most areas) and I contracted...

  9. International version of books

    anonymousstudent replied to MissJessica,RN's topic in General Students

    They have been identical the few times I've done it. Sometimes the paper is of lower quality, but I honestly don't care that much!

  10. why SaO2 monitoring is important for a patient with a history of bleeding?

    anonymousstudent replied to jaywife's topic in General Students

    I was actually asking the OP the question. THEY need to answer the question so they can understand the concept and figure out the reasoning behind the nursing action.

  11. Whats the answer

    anonymousstudent replied to dscott76's topic in General Students

    If ONE unit is 386 mL, and you gave ONE unit (96.5 mL/hr for 4 hours) you'd have made a medication error, now wouldn't you? Since you were told to give THREE and all... Don't be looking out for...

  12. why SaO2 monitoring is important for a patient with a history of bleeding?

    anonymousstudent replied to jaywife's topic in General Students

    Have you had patho yet? You need to look at what blood actually DOES. How does it move

  13. My most important tip for a nursing student is....

    anonymousstudent replied to 1234student's topic in General Students

    Help your fellow students. (And they will help you) It's not a competition, everybody ends up with the same prize (a RN). When you see a competitive person who freaks out about grades, tries to...

  14. So how/what do people react when you tell them you're a student nurse?

    anonymousstudent replied to chibisam's topic in General Students

    I know a man a few years younger than you who just got his RN. He loves it and finds his age to be very beneficial in the hospital setting. I alway get this blank stare and then something to the...

  15. Study alot and cannot find away to get a better grade, help

    anonymousstudent replied to jjhutman's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I have this problem too sometimes. I get tripped up over wording and miss questions that I really just shouldn't miss...things I could demonstrate or explain without any problem. One thing that...

  16. Whine alert! OB/Peds

    anonymousstudent replied to CBsMommy's topic in General Students

    Well, here's my take. It's just about the only place you can go in the hospital where your patients aren't "sick." You know? I think it's incredibly interesting to have that kind of situation. It...

  17. What are Nursing Implications?

    anonymousstudent replied to sbgrace's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    There's a small section on it in Davis's Drug Guide (and no, I don't work for them lol This is the second time tonight I've referenced it.) You could generally advise about blood pressure, smoking,...

  18. IV med related question

    anonymousstudent replied to bowenchelsea's topic in General Students

    It's pretty unlikely anybody's going to outright answer you on here. It's your work and you must do it. What have you done to find the answer? My advice would be to go to a nursing drug guide,...

  19. Patient with no functioning taste buds

    anonymousstudent replied to carlarenee02's topic in General Students

    What are the other restrictions on her diet? Can she smell anything? Is she taking meds that cause

  20. HIV+ student concerned about drug testing while taking Marinol

    anonymousstudent replied to up'n'coming's topic in General Students

    I disagree with this. Even the thought of it. We are taught as nurses that when a patient has a regime that's working not to mess with it. Certainly we ourselves are no different?! OP, if I were in...

  21. Excited about school but...22 weeks preggars

    anonymousstudent replied to bach09's topic in General Students

    You will be able to do just as much as the other students, even at the end. I have never had a problem with it. Is this your first pregnancy? You won't really know how the end of your pregnancy will...

  22. Best method for figuring dosage calculations!!!!

    anonymousstudent replied to survrgrl08's topic in General Students

    I use ratios too. It *almost* always works. With ratios I find that I can do calculations very quickly in my head. I hate standing there with a

  23. Does anyone get their books unbound?

    anonymousstudent replied to my3suns's topic in General Students

    That's a great idea. I might do that. Especially with some of the skill based books I'd love to have just the sections I need at clinical instead of lugging the 70 pound book along.

  24. Interpretation of these physician orders

    anonymousstudent replied to tropanium's topic in General Students

    give 3 nebules stat THEN give 1 every 30 minutes after

  25. Drug calc help and Meds help

    anonymousstudent replied to Nightingale11's topic in General Students

    How are you learning drugs? You need to learn PROTOTYPES. PROTOTYPES WILL SAVE YOU. I'm not kidding. You can't just sit there with a laundry list of drugs and hope you can just learn them. It...
