  1. Tips on listening to heart/lung sounds

    haleyanna19 posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I just started Nursing School in late August, and I am having slight difficulty hearing heart and lung sounds. I mean, I can HEAR heart sounds, I just don't know what exactly I am hearing (Like, is it...

  2. Is this a HIPAA violation?

    haleyanna19 replied to Violetdiscovery's topic in General Students

    I wouldn't see anything wrong w/it. Just don't share the info w/other patients. (I.E., telling patient in room 205 that the patient in room 207 has a WBC of 150k and prob has an infection) why...

  3. can't help my emotional feelings

    haleyanna19 replied to nursingishard's topic in General Students

    Thank you, I know if you're as stressed as I am, the last thing you need is immature people poking fun at you for how you feel. Ignore these people, if they are going to make fun of someone for...

  4. Yelled at for posting on AN

    haleyanna19 replied to Bormio's topic in General Students

    yeah, that's ridiculous. sounds like they have nothing better to do with themselves. My teachers would care less about what some random person posted on an even more random website :)

  5. can't help my emotional feelings

    haleyanna19 replied to nursingishard's topic in General Students

    Be nice, I don't know if you're in school or not, but nursing school does crazy things to you. The last thing the poor girl needs is people making fun of her and calling her "weird" and making rude...

  6. Working in school (I promise this isn't the typical 'should I work' question!)

    haleyanna19 replied to StangGang92's topic in General Students

    I go to school full time and I don't work. I don't see anything wrong with it, I get my experience from clinicals (I'm assuming every nursing school has clinicals you MUST attend!) Listen, if you...

    haleyanna19 replied to Bormio's topic in General Students

    I dont see anything wrong with it as long as you didn't use any names or anything, I personally don't think that what you do away from school is any of their

  8. Personalizing Stethoscopes?

    haleyanna19 replied to doublehelix's topic in General Students

    my school is very against the cloth covers for steths---it can harbor bacteria, big time! :) I put a name tag on mine, it's plastic and has a little nurse on it and a blank side to write my name on. I...

  9. School is interfering with my personal relationships

    haleyanna19 replied to TC1087271's topic in General Students

    i am going through the same thing--the guy I sort of am seeing asks me to hang out ALLLLL the time, and 9 times outta 10, I cant. Hes not even IN school! I'd say cut the ties, unless she can handle...

  10. clinical prof, too strict

    haleyanna19 replied to deetrain's topic in General Students

    she can want to be a nurse, and not get along with her instructor. That could just be a difference in personalities. Don't shatter her dreams. I have a tough professor---she sent a gal home today...

  11. lectures on fundamentals

    haleyanna19 replied to swansonplace's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    no problem, sister!

  12. Young Single Mother taking pre-nursing classes...is this a good idea?

    haleyanna19 replied to antajshalakiag's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with everyone else, except for cheating the system! Lol. I'd take the LPN, and then later go for RN, that way you're providing for your daughter and can have some experience under your belt....

  13. Do you need to take the exact class?

    haleyanna19 replied to xInspiredx's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    my school was strict, too. I took Human Growth and Development....Not to sound like a brat, but if they didnt want you to take the class, they wouldn't have made it one of the

  14. lectures on fundamentals

    haleyanna19 replied to swansonplace's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    that iPod thing is neat! Do your teachers use any type of mechanism to record their lectures and post them online? For instance, our teachers use Tegrity...and tegrity offers an iPod app that I DL'd...

  15. Getting over the poop smell

    haleyanna19 replied to babyCNP's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    that post about making a germ-x moustache made me laugh out loud!! Haha!!! but back to the Vicks--I have had 4 different RNs tell me that does the trick. Maybe you should try that. I am blessed with a...

  16. frustrated

    haleyanna19 replied to Pneumothorax's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    we are going over heart and lung sounds as well right now. I dont know why a teacher would teach you something and then say, "You'll never need this". What did you have trouble with? Did you just not...

  17. Tips on listening to heart/lung sounds

    haleyanna19 replied to haleyanna19's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I guess my Littman Lightweight is decent enough, I just think it's my ear canals, honestly. I ask God, "If you wanted me to become a nurse, why did you give me 'bad ears' to not hear heart and lung...

  18. Getting over the poop smell

    haleyanna19 replied to babyCNP's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Have you tried to rub vicks under your nose? when I do rounds at the nursing home, it works for me :) I gag at the smell of the ENTIRE nursing home!

  19. Tips on listening to heart/lung sounds

    haleyanna19 replied to haleyanna19's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    How much are the cardiology stethooscopes? I have a Littmann's lightweight. I think part of my problem is that one ear canal is smaller than the other (it's true--my doctor told my mom that when I was...
