    Doseage and Calculations can I do this????

    PinkCupcake replied to girlswcurls's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Dimensional analysis is cake once you get the hang of it I promise! Let's say the order is Lanoxin 0.375 mg. I.M. and the label is Lanoxin 500mcg./2mL Your equivalent is going to be 1000mcg = 1mg...

    Bio/Chem degree vs nursing degree

    PinkCupcake replied to JonB04's topic in General Students

    An 80 being a C isn't that unusual for a nursing program. There are plenty of school that grade that way. Some are even worse. Where I've noticed the biggest differences in grading scales is the...

    Associates degree or BSN?

    PinkCupcake replied to PaTexasGal's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I'm in an RN program now and will go through the bridge program at our University to get my BSN possibly my masters but I'll cross that bridge later! I did the ADN program because of cost, location,...

    Bio/Chem degree vs nursing degree

    PinkCupcake replied to JonB04's topic in General Students

    I think it depends on the person. IMO I think that the nursing classes are harder than science classes, but then again I'm a science geek. 6.02x10^23 is my fave number. Even in elementary school I...

    Using a white (dry erase) board to study

    PinkCupcake replied to IndyElmer's topic in General Students

    I have to say I LOVE this idea. I too like to pretend like I'm teaching the information or giving a presentation and using a white board would be a big help. I'll be keeping my eyes open for sales....

    How do nursing students get to and from school?

    PinkCupcake replied to Brian's topic in General Students

    I carpool! I'm so glad I have people I can ride with and it's great for disscusing class material. It's like a mobile study group since it's about a 30 min drive to

    Is being a nursing student actually fun?

    PinkCupcake replied to Dezy's topic in General Students

    I'm not sure if I'm the best person to answer this question because I've only been in nursing school for a month but I'll throw in my 2 cents. If you are good about managing your time you will have a...

    Did you take all non-nursing classes first?

    PinkCupcake replied to haileyjewell's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took ALL of my pre reqs and co reqs before I started my RN program. I knew that nursing school would be challenging all by itself but when you throw my 4 kids and husband into the mix, I wanted to...

    My mom gave me a littmann classic 2 and I LOVE it! Mine is just a plain black one, but when I'm done with school I'm going to treat myself to a new one in a fun color with engraving

    Do you have a lot of Debt to pay off

    PinkCupcake replied to pat8585's topic in General Students

    So far I'm in debt $3500 which isn't too bad considering I've been going part time for the last 2 years to knock out my pre reqs and co reqs. I just started my RN program a few weeks ago so I still...

    Orientation(s)?

    PinkCupcake replied to CRNBSN18's topic in General Students

    Our school has one orientation about a month before the start of the program. When classes started we jumped right into lecture. I can tell it's going to be a crazy

    Pre nursing questions

    PinkCupcake replied to p00wallace's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    See if your school offers a bridge program. Mine does and all of my credits will transfer to our 4 year university when I'm finished with my ADN. Good

    maybe i'm not cut out for nursing :(

    PinkCupcake replied to peppapig123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There are many many many areas of nursing that you could go into where you wouldn't have to come into contact with a situation like that. I have a pretty strong stomach but sometimes I see something...

    New Student Laptop

    PinkCupcake replied to OriginalWingNut's topic in General Students

    IMO a traditional laptop or smaller notebook would be best for note taking. I use my regular HP laptop to take notes and I LOVE it. My teacher does not use handouts and she doesn't puts her power...

    PinkCupcake replied to BelgianRN's topic in Emergency

    I'm so glad I'm not the only who has that problem. My mother in law and sister in law are the worst! I try at all costs to avoid going with them to the doctors or ER. They are convinced that nobody...

    School Bag

    PinkCupcake replied to Mrs.Priss's topic in General Students

    That bag is so cute Miss Priss I love it!!! I use a JanSport tote/messenger style bag. So far it works well for me but I don't have to bring all my books to class, just my small clinical calc.
