  1. Medication Administration 3 checks

    2ndyearstudent replied to Kellicyrist's topic in General Students

    Sounds about right. You get so used to doing 3 checks it will become second nature. I realized after the fact I did three checks last night when I put a quart of oil in my car. One at the shelf, one...

  2. Brachial pulse on an obese patient

    2ndyearstudent replied to SammyRN2012's topic in General Students

    Make sure their arm is relaxed and supported. Start at the inside of the arm antecubital area and push the tissue and biceps muscle toward the midline of the arm away from the artery. You are sort...

  3. Classmate making me feel uncomfortable.

    2ndyearstudent replied to agua's topic in General Students

    It would be inappropriate to say something like that in that setting no matter how well he knew you. I would advise you tell him in a very straightforward way, "That is not cool. Don't do it again."...

  4. What a blow to my ego

    2ndyearstudent replied to letitbe_lindsay's topic in General Students

    There is a scene from a movie called "Heartbreak Ridge." Clint Eastwood plays an old school platoon seargant under the command of an abusive Major. Just a real jerk. One day during training, one of...

  6. working while doing full time nursing classes

    2ndyearstudent replied to golosa82's topic in General Students

    Last year one of my classmates approached me in tears. I asked her what was wrong and she told me, "I failed our exam." She explained she did not have time to study because she worked full time and...

  7. can you make it all the way through nursing school on dishonesty alone?

    2ndyearstudent replied to Desire2Learn's topic in General Students

    The short answer to your question is "No." Don't worry; the person you are talking about would never make it through any reputable program even if they did find a way to get

  8. NLN-RN Pre-entrance exam...Did I get a good study guide??

    2ndyearstudent replied to affffraidofamericans's topic in General Students

    I used this particular study guide: http://www.amazon.com/Review-Guide-Entrance-Exam-Pre-Entrance/dp/0763724866 It was great. I was already pretty good at the stuff but the guide helped a lot. I...

  9. May have failed my first Exam!

    2ndyearstudent replied to MKO90's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It is only one exam. You can make up some ground later if you adjust your study habits. As far as the powerpoints go, get used to it. My nursing school instructors are awesome clinical instructors but...

  10. Nursing PreReq in 1 1/2 years.

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

    I stretched my prereqs out to 2 years to better ensure a high GPA and filled the extra time with gaining experience in healthcare jobs. That experience has helped me a LOT in school and clinical. I...

  11. New Student Rant!!!

    2ndyearstudent replied to mater44's topic in General Students

    Welcome to Nursing School. Instructors ask for student preference so they can take it into account if they can. The vast majority of time, they cannot. When it comes to clinical times and sites, the...

  12. Pathophysiology

    2ndyearstudent replied to kristi1111's topic in General Students

    I find that the students having the most trouble with pathophys are the ones who never really paid attention in chemistry, anatomy, and physiology. If a student is having trouble with Pathophys class,...

  13. Full Time Worker/Full Time Nursing Student - How do you Manage Your Homes?

    2ndyearstudent replied to MidLifeRN2012's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I hope this works out for you but I would advise any prospective nursing student considering following the same path to NOT try it. We had our first exam yesterday, the average score was failing...

  14. Medical Terminology & lab Values

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

    Some of my classmates have clipboards like this: http://www.amazon.com/Quick-E-Rescue-Clinical-Clipboard-Bandido/dp/1929693249/ref=pd_sim_sbs_b_3 Others took regular clipboards and taped their own...
