  1. Fundamentals before pharm?

    anonymousstudent replied to VeniVidiVici's topic in General Students

    I took fund. before pharm, it was fine. I think it makes more sense to have pharm when you're in a "real" clinical. Hopefully your courses are linked up with pharm and you'll be learning material...

  2. relationship between respirations and fevers

    anonymousstudent posted a topic in General Students

    I've heard several nurses at clinical encourage patients to cough and deep breathe as a corrective method for low grade fevers post-op (99/99.5ish). I must have completely missed the pathology of...

  3. ADN students, how much do you study?

    anonymousstudent replied to FLhusker's topic in General Students

    I don't study a lot actually. Maybe an average of an 30-60 minutes per day, and that includes reading and clinical prep. Obviously I do more reading before a test. I'm a B student with a life, and...

  4. test bank

    anonymousstudent replied to jsr210's topic in General Students

    You are really admitting to academic dishonesty and cheating? Really? Nurses with a complete lack of a moral compass scare the hell out of

  5. test bank

    anonymousstudent replied to jsr210's topic in General Students

    It's basically cheating. Trying to access the problems the profs. pull exam questions from is a bad idea. If you need practice questions there are tons of great books out there, search Amazon for...

  6. Which NCLEX book?

    anonymousstudent replied to windmill182's topic in General Students

    I have Saunders, Lippincott, and Davis. Davis is by far the best. http://www.amazon.com/Daviss-Q-NCLEX-RN-Examination-Ohman/dp/0803621876/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1307591184&sr=8-1 And yes,...

  7. OB Rotations

    anonymousstudent replied to ImThatGuy's topic in General Students

    Did this thread get ugly? I'll vouch for you not being a troll. People who say that have never moderated boards and seen real trolls. JMO I had a pretty good experience with L&D, though I knew...

  8. First RN test today...need to vent

    anonymousstudent replied to dee78's topic in General Students

    Have you seen the Davis's Q&A Success Series? They are WONDERFUL. You get a good mix of questions with rationales and tips on how to pick the right answer if you don't know it. I would highly...

  9. Summer

    anonymousstudent replied to emtbtofuturenurse's topic in General Students

    We are year round. But if I had a summer off I'd take it. Maybe spend 1 day a week

  10. Fellow 'B' Students...

    anonymousstudent replied to lilyteen's topic in General Students

    B here! I'm glad I didn't get weeded, this was a painful and intentionally difficult

  11. my clinical instructor is disappointing me.

    anonymousstudent replied to ashleyisawesome's topic in General Students

    Um, yeah, get away from her. Talk to whom ever is in charge and get the heck away from

  12. law and nursing

    anonymousstudent replied to jaywife's topic in General Students

    Quite right. :) OP, what did your state's Nurse Practice Act say on the

  13. Who should I talk to?

    anonymousstudent replied to MyGranniePanties's topic in General Students

    Maybe. There are a lot of factors, like the reputation of the schools in your area, how saturated the market is with ADN's and BSN's, the kind of needs the facility will have by the time you...

  14. 2nd day of clinicals & I feel like an idiot...help me gain some confidence!

    anonymousstudent replied to pecanpies's topic in General Students

    GO TO LAB. A lot of nursing is book knowledge. But some of it, and the things that people seem to struggle with, are physical skills that you learn with your hands - psychomotor functioning. You...

  15. CDs that come with the books...

    anonymousstudent replied to KristeyK's topic in General Students

    Is anybody using Craven and Hirnle's Fundy book? The CD that came with that book is crappy. At least I think it is, maybe I'm totally missing something? Anyway, I have much better look with the...

  16. Can student administer medication without RN supervision?

    anonymousstudent replied to AnneN's topic in General Students

    I was pushing Dilaudid. By myself. From start to

  17. relationship between respirations and fevers

    anonymousstudent replied to anonymousstudent's topic in General Students

    Good question. I wasn't clear how they were determining that the process was occurring in the lungs, and not just a normal physiological response to inflammation r/t surgery as is normal and...

  18. client on beta blocker with no history of hypertension or cardiac disease.

    anonymousstudent replied to ADPIE1's topic in General Students

    YES. That's exactly what I was going to suggest. Maybe she's routinely tachy. The -olol drugs effect heart RATE, aside from

  19. how do you study subjects that have triggers?

    anonymousstudent posted a topic in General Students

    I'm supposed to be reading this week about the very disease I saw a close family member waste away and die a miserable death from, and I cannot crack that book. Our reading is broken up into systems,...

  20. Can student administer medication without RN supervision?

    anonymousstudent replied to AnneN's topic in General Students

    I always make sure I'm understanding what I'm being told. If my teacher pulls meds from the Pyxis and tells me to go give them, I say something like, "Will you be joining me?" I almost always get a...

  21. Is this academic dishonesty?

    anonymousstudent replied to Jessicias85's topic in General Students

    Usually if you have to ask "is it dishonest" it probably is. Thanks for blowing that theory for me. I've never seen a case where this question has been posed and it wasn't dishonest. Until

  22. Measurable, Timely Outcomes

    anonymousstudent replied to ckcc's topic in General Students

    Oh - noncom?

  23. Measurable, Timely Outcomes

    anonymousstudent replied to ckcc's topic in General Students

    When we do these they have to be met by the end of our shift. So pain - goal is pt. reports a 3/10 or lower on the scale by the end of the shift via meds and whatever else you will do/did...

  24. First ever clinical THIS FRIDAY...advice ?!?!

    anonymousstudent replied to Maladroit's topic in General Students

    Pay attention as soon as you hit the door. How is the place set up? Where is the nurse's station? Where do they keep supplies? Where do you go to get things for a client such as coffee? Where's...

  25. Should I admit defeat or keep going?

    anonymousstudent replied to Brekka's topic in General Students

    She can't just not pass you like that. She needs to cough up something better. She needs specific examples of what you are doing wrong or not doing right. Email her and ask her to follow up that...
