  1. Depressed about student loans :(

    anonymousstudent replied to skulskcc01's topic in General Students

    Just pay it off! Work out a plan, consolidate, and pay ahead when you can. Don't be sad about it. Don't stand there with your head turned looking back. It won't change anything. Many of us are...

  2. 43 DOL x23 wk RDS

    anonymousstudent replied to jilljillyt's topic in General Students

    No clue. But I'm jealous that you get a NICU

  3. Need urgent Help on assignment Pt care plan!! please! im so stuck!

    anonymousstudent replied to Elena89's topic in General Students

    This assignment sounds PAINFUL. Maybe a little SUPPORT would be helpful? Make sure you DRINK AND EAT well or it may have very serious consequences. And I agree, a little EDUCATION goes a long way....

  4. MED SURG!!!!!! HELP!

    anonymousstudent replied to pinkishlimegreen's topic in General Students

    The entire point is to LEARN the material. You have to do what's best for you and your style of learning. It's not just about how to get by on these tests. You have to know this stuff because if...

  5. how long does it take your profs to grade?

    anonymousstudent posted a topic in General Students

    I'm waiting on stuff from almost 4 weeks ago. I know they are busy, I get it. But it annoys me because I actually do want the feedback - I do read the comments and actually use them to improve....

  6. Pharm ATI...HELP!!

    anonymousstudent replied to NurseB_'s topic in General Students

    I haven't taken ATI - we do HESI here. But my experience has been that the practice questions are much harder than the actual test. Also, does ATI do the weighted question policy where some are...

  7. how long does it take your profs to grade?

    anonymousstudent replied to anonymousstudent's topic in General Students

    They are very prompt with test grading. But assignment grading is an entirely different story. I actually learn a lot more from case studies and care plans, which is good because that's what they...

  8. I need ideas!! Senior Gifts for Graduation

    anonymousstudent replied to Pneumothorax's topic in General Students

    So the school is giving the gift? Is that normal? If so I'd like the refund on the portion of my tuition they used to buy it...ahem...I mean that I effectively used to buy it.

  9. Exit Hesi

    anonymousstudent replied to nurse12b's topic in General Students

    It is a good thing, a step along the way! :) Don't down play it, you learned lots of valuable information there that will help you a lot in NS. And OP, I'm convinced of the conspiracy theories about...

  10. mobility and turgor

    anonymousstudent replied to smily11's topic in General Students

    You check infant turgor on the chest. However, you will get a better picture of their hydration by assessing

  11. How many hours should I study?

    anonymousstudent replied to sandanrnstudent's topic in General Students

    1.5:1 is a pretty low ratio IMO. Here they use the 3:1 ratio. It's very fluid though, and there are a lot of factors. One subject you might pick up easily while another may take you 3 times as...

  12. How to study!

    anonymousstudent replied to kd2010's topic in General Students

    What helps me is looking at the rationales and the test taking tips. I found that once I had a good system for answering questions - here's mine for how I order things: safety, ABC, neuro, Maslow,...

  13. Care plan guidance

    anonymousstudent replied to zenweaver's topic in General Students

    You might get better help with this on the NS assistance board. Based on your scenario, r/t the fact that she has already fallen once and that her feet are numb, safety would be my primary

  14. Late Decelerations and uteroplacental insufficiency

    anonymousstudent replied to Cattnipp's topic in General Students

    This is good to know. I'm glad they likely won't throw them

  15. Community College? You must be stupid.

    anonymousstudent replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in General Students

    OH, I didn't know that they made BSN's take European History! Sorry if I offended anybody. My undergraduate degree was composed of the usual "well-rounded" course work along with a HEAP of classes...

  16. Community College? You must be stupid.

    anonymousstudent replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in General Students

    I never said a BSN was useless. I'd love to have one at some point (maybe) but I can't afford it right now. And for those of you who think that no education is useless, your glasses are slightly...

  17. Med/Surg II practice questions

    anonymousstudent replied to Tree5981's topic in General Students

    The Med-Surg Success book by Davis has helped me quite a

  18. Good place to get first stethoscope?

    anonymousstudent replied to soraji's topic in General Students

    My advice would be to buy a CHEAP stethoscope, and then ask other students if you can try theirs out. Some people have an easier time with some verses other kinds. I'm not really sure what makes the...

  19. Community College? You must be stupid.

    anonymousstudent replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in General Students

    I agree OP! :) I have a useless Bachelors and a heap of debt to go with it. I am going to push my children VERY hard to attend CC for a few years if they chose the college route. Especially if...

  20. Singled out nursing student

    anonymousstudent replied to Blacksheep80's topic in General Students

    You have rationalized quite enough. Friend, make it happen. We all have things that set us apart. Race, gender, age, appearance, history, reputation, social skills, hair color, smoker, whatever....

  21. Late Decelerations and uteroplacental insufficiency

    anonymousstudent replied to Cattnipp's topic in General Students

    OK, I just ran across a question addressing this while I was studying today. From Saunder's NCLEX book, 5th edition, pg. 307: 251. A nurse in the labor room is caring for a client in the active stage...

  22. How important is statistics in nursing and nursing school?

    anonymousstudent replied to miyhaka's topic in General Students

    Aside from figuring out what portion of your cohort is going to fail out, I haven't seen much use of it around here. lol I agree with the others that it is generally good to learn to look at things...

  23. Pregnant with 2 semesters left of nursing school... Oops.

    anonymousstudent replied to AFwife727's topic in General Students

    We have had a lot of babies lately, and all of those students have come back within a few weeks and are doing fine. Get your support system in place now and have a good plan.

  24. Late Decelerations and uteroplacental insufficiency

    anonymousstudent replied to Cattnipp's topic in General Students

    We were taught to move mom to her left

  25. Lactated Ringers vs .9NS

    anonymousstudent replied to Cindy 17's topic in General Students

    I have not seen much LR given, mostly NS. I did observe LOTS of LR being used in the OR, both IV and for flushing. I asked the nurse why they were using it and she said something like, "Well, LR is...
