    Should I buy or rent these textbooks?

    ImThatGuy replied to RunawayN's topic in General Students

    Seriously?! You had to do those? I would riot if I had to do that, lol.

    Does RN-BSN programs have more "old" people???

    ImThatGuy replied to Nolander's topic in General Students

    That'd require more PM's,

    My nursing program is basically a night club scene. He's asking a valid question for his age and

    ImThatGuy replied to RunawayN's topic in General Students

    What the deuce is a patho map? You poor thing. It sounds like another trivial, time

    Should I buy or rent these textbooks?

    ImThatGuy replied to RunawayN's topic in General Students

    The rental books are garbage and stuff that shouldn't be included in a course of study anywhere. I know you can't control that, but yeah definitely rent those. Rent all of them. There's no reason...

    why is med/surg so difficult?

    ImThatGuy replied to Nolander's topic in General Students

    I wouldn't say nurses have mastery of a science at all. But I think med/surg, or what we called acute care, is difficult based on the perception of the student. I liked the material so for me it was...

    Test Banks - Surely Not

    ImThatGuy replied to howsoon's topic in General Students

    I had a teacher this semester pull a test question out of a bank that included the word "hypervigilance." Upon doing the test review after we got our grades she was reading the question out loud, and...

    Anyone taken Informatics

    ImThatGuy replied to ImThatGuy's topic in General Students

    Ugh, it sounds killer. We've had research methods so hopefully we're done with that crap. At least the teacher said it'd be the easiest class next semester so hopefully, once again, nothing will be...

    Anyone taken Informatics

    ImThatGuy posted a topic in General Students

    Has anyone taken "Nursing Informatics?" The teacher, who is very light-hearted and student-friendly, said it's going to be a "fun, easy" course. She also said we won't spend much time at the...

    The care plan is just a form that's been filled out. There's not really anything to

    Taking a psych tech job on a locked unit with occasionally violent adults...advice?

    ImThatGuy replied to CeCeInMI's topic in Psychiatric

    I'm also a career police officer and make my living deescalating situations, physically intervening, and dealing with aggressive individuals many of which are psychotic patients. I've even had to do...

    Two words: krav maga. That gives you options in case you are attacked, and rest assured my friend you are indeed lawfully entitled to defend

    Equipment needed for School

    ImThatGuy replied to number8's topic in General Students

    Eh, the OP would be better off to make more trips for the books or carry less books. We never need our's in class. Rolling backpacks are burdens on everyone else. They drag them around in the way,...

    Senior Practicum - Not What I Expected

    ImThatGuy replied to dayandnight's topic in General Students

    Bahahaha! If I heard an instructor say that, my reply would probably be, "Too bad. You're already involved. Fix it." Community health is pretty broad. Depending on what you're doing it could...

    ImThatGuy replied to P B and J's topic in General Students

    Who gives a **** what she thinks?! If you passed you passed. They can't do anything about it. Who cares if it's "unethical" to buy the test bank?! Idon't think it is. That's probably the most...

    Does RN-BSN programs have more "old" people???

    ImThatGuy replied to Nolander's topic in General Students

    I actually did some research on this topic to make a presentation, and I concluded that a straight forward BSN program is faster and cheaper than the RN-BSN program. The catch is if you live in an...

    what are you doing during the break?

    ImThatGuy replied to SC APRN's topic in General Students

    I've got eight 12 hour shifts left this month and an eight hour one on new year's eve. Aside from that, I'll run a little, maybe hit up some P90X discs, drink beer, eat Christmas junk, and watch a...

    Should I change my major?

    ImThatGuy replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in General Students

    Yeah, a lot of kids want to go to medical school until they take chemistry. It happens. A&P is, to me, way better than nursing school. At least A&P seemed educational. Teaching isn't...

    This is my answer to life's day to day cutting needs. I've been carrying this since 2004. In the last 24 hours, I've opened a taped box of Christmas decorations, opened up and taken out frustration...

    ImThatGuy replied to number8's topic in General Students

    I'm really surprised at the number of people that don't own a watch. You don't really need all the scissors and jazz, but your school will have them on the list of required items. I think my...
