  1. nursing assessment and intervention in deteriorating patient

    2ndyearstudent replied to wjddnjs's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Start with the ABCs and you should be able to come up with a whole bunch of dx and

  2. Was your nursing school like this?

    2ndyearstudent replied to TheSmilingToast's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Sounds like nursing school to me. In my school, we have to have an active CNA certificate just to apply, so they went through the VS stuff lightning fast as they should. The abbreviations you are...

  3. Things you would love to say to your fellow nursing students!

    2ndyearstudent replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    I think many people treat allnurses as their emotional sewer and it gives off quite a smell

  4. Phi Theta Kappa - Haven't we all been invited?

    2ndyearstudent replied to SDChargersGirl#31's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I believe it does, but ask your prospective

  5. Phi Theta Kappa - Haven't we all been invited?

    2ndyearstudent replied to SDChargersGirl#31's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It won't get you into a nursing program, but they do put it right on your transcript. There are also a lot of opportunities to participate in or (more importantly) lead many types of projects....

  6. Took my first test -- found the testbank

    2ndyearstudent replied to *4!#6's topic in General Students

    I suspect this won't continue much longer for you. I also found doing review questions from my Med Surg Book, Saunders, and Kaplan very helpful. Especially for learning test taking strategies and...

  7. ABG help

    2ndyearstudent replied to phimusister's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I suspect you know the acronym ROME well and don't have the basics down very well. Your text should have the answers to these questions. The last one might be a little bit tricky but the other two...

  8. Is it me, or is there a dichotomy for male nurses??

    2ndyearstudent replied to Mike32110's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Might just be your class. There are about 8 guys in my class of 80, none of them feminine and none of them over the top masculine. The guys ages range from 18 to 40+, 5 are American born citizens, two...

  9. Interesting article on the "New Masculinity" and it does mention nursing

    2ndyearstudent replied to Bob_N_VA's topic in Male Nursing Students

    When I decided to change careers to nursing, I steeled myself a bit for the "Meet the Parents" like crap I might run into. I haven't run into any. Not at all. In fact, I haven't run into any...

  10. Did being a CNA make you NOT want to be a nurse anymore?

    2ndyearstudent replied to emily_ganshert's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Do you plan on being a Physical Therapist Assistant a Physical Therapist? Hoo boy is there a difference in the

  11. Term paper advice pleaseee!!!

    2ndyearstudent replied to MMDearing's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That is a great topic and there is a wealth of material on it going back 100 years with many different theories and approaches. Get your nose into the peer reviewed data bases and start searching. Ask...

  12. BSN vs. ADN

    2ndyearstudent replied to collegegirl209's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Either option is good depending on your location and situation. Your #1 certainly isn't true in my state, although it may be in yours. We don't have any lottery system in either path. The quality of...

  13. adult bully

    2ndyearstudent replied to deetrain's topic in General Students

    You can start by not lowering yourself to his level by engaging in name calling and "getting rude" as well. He probably enjoys this and will continue to do so until you start behaving like an

  14. HIPAA

    2ndyearstudent replied to cmonkey's topic in General Students

    Our instructors have so many typos we gave up even trying to tell them about it. My favorite so far this year is when the powerpoint told us all about the "Glasgow Come Scale." A different...

  15. Pushing Heparin through a Peripheral IV

    2ndyearstudent replied to nrsing2011's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Yeah. I was being a little facetious about the SQ

  16. Admissions make a mistake got denied

    2ndyearstudent replied to sarahmizzou's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Don't hold your breath on that

  17. Do you call your teachers by their 1st names?

    2ndyearstudent replied to noyesno's topic in General Students

    I call them whatever they call themselves. If they say, "Hello, I'm John" then I call them John. If they say, "Hello, I am Professor Moriarty" then I call them Professor Moriarty. To date, all of my...

  18. Pushing Heparin through a Peripheral IV

    2ndyearstudent replied to nrsing2011's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    This would have made me raise my eyebrows too. What is the facility policy? Since there were heparin flushes available they should have had protocols in place that covered your instructor's actions....

  19. so we are one month into this. How is it going?

    2ndyearstudent replied to cjungen's topic in General Students

    Oh, man. I was cracking up today while discussing how much we crapped our pants during our first checkoffs. I don't think any one of us recorded a pulse rate of less than 90. I remember one...

  20. Clients? Are they no longer patients?

    2ndyearstudent replied to bassadict69's topic in General Students

    At the hospital, I have patients. At the nursing home, I had residents. In people's homes, I have clients. Seems to work out just

  21. Hooker in the house?

    2ndyearstudent replied to anticoagulationurse's topic in Home Health

    I've ran into a couple suspiciously attired "PCAs" here and there that I suspected might be performing some very specific ADLs. They sat quietly and watched TV while I did my cares and never bugged me...

  22. CNA hourly pay rate?

    2ndyearstudent replied to SuBinCRNAtoBe's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Nothing at all wrong. Go try and do that brewery job and count how long before you lose your freaking marbles. The truth is that jobs like the one your bottle watching friend has are disappearing...

  23. How do you get a job as a CNA when you have no experience?

    2ndyearstudent replied to rgirl808's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Agree with other commenters: Nursing home. Many hire anything with a pulse and I'm not sure about that with some of

  24. New grad gets a new job...

    2ndyearstudent posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hello, I just wanted to share a good employment story on allnurses. A friend of mine graduated four months ago with her ADN and passed the boards a short time later. She applied to many hospitals, but...

  25. Can someone help me figure out why I missed these questions?

    2ndyearstudent replied to DayDreamin ER CRNP's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    For testing purposes, you always do what is "book right." I had a devil of a time on my first two HESI tests because I tried to approach them as "real world." Huge mistake. It isn't real world, it...
