  1. Adult Med/Surg ATI test -- advice? Did you pass?

    anonymousstudent replied to melissa0's topic in General Students

    I have no experience with the mh test, but I took the m/s ATI cold about a month ago and easy hit level 2. I'm a B student, nothing special. There were some CRAZY questions on that test though. I...

  2. Pregnant nursing student/worried

    anonymousstudent replied to Sbn1012's topic in General Students

    We've had several women have babies during the breaks and come back to clinicals the next week - c-sections too. At our school, there appears to be a breakdown between the department that manages...

  3. has anyone ever missed/skipped clinical?

    anonymousstudent replied to citylights89's topic in General Students

    I have never missed a clinical. But if something came up like a sibling's wedding, I sure would. As far as the worry about missing orientation, most of you must have amazing first clinical days....

  4. why is med/surg a hard class to pass??

    anonymousstudent replied to 2bmalenurse23's topic in General Students

    I actually find med/surg to be fairly straightforward. I still have to study, but not all that much. Fund. was so very hard for me. I think that if you can get the hang of the patterns in med/surg...

  5. Should I report wide-spread cheating in my class?

    anonymousstudent replied to malarwen's topic in General Students

    The answer here is simple, and you know what it is already. Don't do it anonymously. I LOVE anonymity. Love it. But not in this case. As an undergrad I was forced into a very similar situation....

  6. Nursing diagnosis help, please..general question

    anonymousstudent replied to tunafish1's topic in General Students

    i absolutely agree with this statement. but surely you are not defending the practice of requiring 4 nursing diagnoses, for every patient, every single clinical? perhaps when i am finally a nurse...

  7. Nursing diagnosis help, please..general question

    anonymousstudent replied to tunafish1's topic in General Students

    My instructors this term won't even let me use them. I have found that it just depends on the instructor. My real issue with these is why do instructors tell you to do X number of nursing...

  8. IM injections, to aspirate or not?

    anonymousstudent replied to Pia Mater's topic in General Students

    I was also taught to aspirate, but have had every CI I've given one with tell me not too. As far as the 10 second rule, I was told to only do this if the medication was very viscous or

  9. Did you find Med-Surg class much harder than fundamentals?

    anonymousstudent replied to northmississippi's topic in General Students

    M/S was a heck of a lot easier than Fundamentals. Everything in M/S follows a pattern, and once you get that down it's not to much

  10. Am I crazy, because this seems VERY WRONG...

    anonymousstudent replied to Fannie'sMom's topic in General Students

    Oh, this response makes me very, very sad. Look, the OP is going to be a nurse in what, 6 months? Maybe 7, she said she's a senior. Is it even rational to throw a person with absolutely NO...

  11. RN vs LPN

    anonymousstudent replied to aachavez's topic in General Students

    OP - this topic causes...issues. Sometimes. When you have delegation you will understand it much more

  12. Priority for DVT

    anonymousstudent replied to Student2001's topic in General Students

    ITA with this, I was on an ortho post-op floor a few terms ago and bilateral TED hose were standing orders for both TKA/THA's. If I were going to pick among ONLY nursing interventions I'd say 1)...

  13. IV therapy skills in nursing school...do they still exist?

    anonymousstudent replied to IvnurseAmanda's topic in General Students

    IV therapy skills are built into our curriculum. We have lecture and fairly extensive lab on the subject. The lab is simulated with an arm attached to "blood" so you get the flash and it's...

  14. Good at Theory, Trouble with Clinical/Lab

    anonymousstudent replied to Orlette's topic in General Students

    What do YOU think? This paradigm is common, at least so I'm told. The "good at the book work, bad at clinical/lab" experience. I was a little bit like this when I started, mostly because I just...

  15. Critical thinking in OB ... HELP!! Jaundice newborn

    anonymousstudent replied to Student2001's topic in General Students

    There is no way you're going to get 8 poopy diapers out of a newborn. How else can you encourage the body to remove bilirubin? Think about

  16. a question about artery inefficiency

    anonymousstudent replied to wwang's topic in General Students

    This might help: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/000170.htm Remember that arteries supply oxygen! Without adequate oxygen, tissue doesn't perform at it's best. These folks will have...

  17. Nursing after MBA?

    anonymousstudent replied to Juliawood1's topic in General Students

    MBA + RN = very high earning potential. I know you want to help people, that's great. People who understand the practice of medicine and have the knowledge to run an organization have a fabulous...

  18. Give meds without RN/CI?

    anonymousstudent replied to theantichick's topic in General Students

    I am usually confused about this. It seems like every system we are in does it differently. I just do what my CI tells me. After all, like you and PP pointed out, it's the CI's license you are...

  19. med surg 1 clinical

    anonymousstudent replied to AngelofSeduction's topic in General Students

    Get report. ASK questions! ASSESS your patient. Nothing you do makes any sense unless you assess. Here is the time to dig into the chart...but here is what you're really going to do: Give the am...

  20. active vs passive immunity

    anonymousstudent replied to ading's topic in General Students

    Hm. Tell me what you understand to this point. Perhaps I understand it differently, but they seem to match their classification pretty clearly. Identify the ways a person can acquire an immunity,...

  21. Most boring clinical site?

    anonymousstudent posted a topic in General Students

    I promise I'm stuck in the middle of it. I'm so disappointed by the clinical sites I've had the past few terms. I try to make the best out of the situation but honestly they just aren't good...

  22. Most boring clinical site?

    anonymousstudent replied to anonymousstudent's topic in General Students

    yeah, that sucks. i would have been insane by the end of that day. i try to stay busy. but you can only clean so much, organize and restock so much...etc. after the 5th time the techs get sick of...

  23. Help with classmate

    anonymousstudent replied to penaheather's topic in General Students

    I'd just ignore her. Honestly, it doesn't sound like she's going to make it very far this time either. Your instructor is in control of the class - or not in control. Either way, if it comes to a...

  24. Loans in Community College

    anonymousstudent replied to Jmiami's topic in General Students

    lol Many of us here have this kind of degree! I am paying cash, but after slowly working through my science pre-reqs, I got a letter from the school saying it had taken me too long and I was no...

  25. did i pick the wrong field? feel sick looking at cadavers

    anonymousstudent replied to mauramcd's topic in General Students

    I think liking the experience of seeing a dead body is not normal. I'd say disliking it is the normal experience. Seeing the dead is something that brings up a lot of issues you may have never had...
