  1. I thought I paid for school not ATI

    nurse simmy replied to puravidaLV's topic in General Students

    "Read and study the ATI book we gave you, that's what you will be tested on" My question always seems to go unanswered. "when?"

  2. Any of you make excellent grades but suck at skills?

    nurse simmy replied to aem31's topic in General Students

    I'm an A student, and I'm scared that when they go by my grades that I will do capstone in the ER or ICU. I am not an adrenaline junky, if someone drops in front of me, I am afraid I will freeze....

  3. Previous Bachelors degree going into nursing - do I need a BSN or just an ADN?

    nurse simmy replied to k.ronning's topic in General Nursing

    I'll share my experience. I needed to become a nurse as quickly as possible to feed my family. I have a bachelors, but choose the ADN route instead of an accelerated program. I don't have enough...

  4. Rolling backpack?

    nurse simmy replied to newstudent2010's topic in General Students

    Most of the students in my class have rolling back packs. I bought mine from ebags.com. The brand is High Sierra. My laptop goes to class with me, and they have a way to type in the model of laptop...

  5. Do I have to take History to be a nurse.

    nurse simmy replied to Darkpk55's topic in General Students

    I see history as being a bit like pathophys. If you are just learning names/dates you aren't getting it, like learning signs and symptoms just doesn't cut it. But if you look in depth into the...

    What nursing dx book are you

  7. Nursing Dx. for Right hip infection

    nurse simmy replied to Determined Virgo's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    My first thoughts are infection, risk for bleeding, anxiety

  8. F&E Test

    nurse simmy replied to adnrnstudent's topic in General Students

    It's common knowledge at my school that "everyone fails the f&e test." And in previous years that has been true, but we have 5 five tests in that class after wards and people have always been...

  9. What's your school's cut-off for passing?

    nurse simmy replied to cobee's topic in General Students

    82% is passing, the school is successful at weeding out the people who won't pass NCLEX. We have 100% pass rate. Unfortunately we have lost people who would be very good nurses, and wouldn't have a...

  10. Amount of clinicals?

    nurse simmy replied to MissChloe's topic in General Students

    we do 2 days/week for 4 semesters. They all start about 0630 and depending on the floor we are on get out between 12 and 3.

  11. I posted in another thread

    nurse simmy replied to sunshineintheforest's topic in General Nursing

    One of my classmates asked this of our program director. She planned to move to another state immediately after graduation, and the director suggested she apply here, and after she gets licensed...

  12. can ascites lead to anemia?

    nurse simmy replied to ACNP 2B S1S2RRR's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'm thinking maybe the ascites and the anemia are related to being malnourished. If the person doesn't have enough protein in the diet it can lead to ascites, and a lack of iron or vit B can lead to...

  13. Today is my pinning!

    nurse simmy replied to NM nurse to be's topic in General Nursing

    Congratulations

  14. Work calling 3-4+ times a week to come in

    nurse simmy replied to PAERRN20's topic in General Nursing

    I'm an unemployed student right now, so I don't have an employer that I need to worry about screening my calls for. But I do have fellow students who love to call to "discuss" homework, which means...

  15. priority nursing questions

    nurse simmy replied to Amber0515's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Hey, OP, sorry my baby question hijacked your thread But it is really nice to know that I'm not the only one who reads a question and can rationalize just about any answer. My instructors love to...

  16. Get the question right and lose a point!!

    nurse simmy replied to cutenurse2b_1's topic in General Students

    My school doesn't round. So that would be the difference between an A and a B. 82 is a B, and 81.99 is failing so this could potentially be an issue. At our school, they just invalidate the...

  17. priority nursing questions

    nurse simmy replied to Amber0515's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    The correct answer was sterile gloves, hand up the lady parts, o2, towel under hip. I have a problem with putting o2 on and a towel under the hip while I have sterile gloves on, and stuck between her...

  18. priority nursing questions

    nurse simmy replied to Amber0515's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Since we are talking about prioritizing questions I have one. I can't remember which book I got this out of or I would cite it. I have lots of NCLEX test prep books and software. And I'm...

  19. REALLY, really silly question

    nurse simmy replied to Sugar-Phosphate's topic in General Students

    We gave each other shots with NS, and we started IV's. We got one practice stick, and then one again for check offs. In years past, before they got the mannequins, they did insert NG tubes in each...

  20. Do you ever get mysterious fees??

    nurse simmy replied to yesitslaura's topic in General Students

    So far I haven't had any of those, but I wouldn't be surprised if they show up soon. After we got to class the other day, we were informed we had to pee in a cup. OK, no problem. The next day we got...

  21. Failed NCLEX, School dropped me from program!!!! HELP!!!

    nurse simmy replied to medeiros808's topic in General Students

    My school requires it. It is a two year ADN program. The first year (fall, spring and summer semesters) is LPN, and the second year (just fall and spring) is the RN year. Everybody in the RN year...

  22. Age of graduates coming out of Nursing School!?

    nurse simmy replied to Blessed S.N.23's topic in General Students

    I will be 44 when I graduate. I got accepted into a nursing program when I was 25, but dh got transferred out of state so I gave up my spot before I even started. My kid is old enough and...

  23. How competitive are CC's?

    nurse simmy replied to xInspiredx's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My CC says we have to have a 2.5 GPA overall with a minimum of B's in the science classes. Once you do that, and take the NET or TEAS test you are put on a waiting list for the next spot, which is...

  24. Accepted... should I get books and read ahead?

    nurse simmy replied to sarahmizzou's topic in General Students

    talk to the nursing program. We had an orientation about a month before classes started where we could buy the books and course sylabi. We had several assignments due the first day of class.
