    Sounds like a good way to get yelled at by the

  2. test question!

    2ndyearstudent replied to BA_anthropology's topic in General Students

    Its a nursing process question. First thing you do is assess the patient. They kind of tried to trick you with using the word "assess" in the B, but you want to find out how the patient is

  3. Vent: I HATE MY JOB! If you hate your pre-nursing job, let it all out!

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

    Well said. I am thankful for every day since I quite the corporate hamster wheel. That

  4. Confused Nursing student: Need advice!!!!

    2ndyearstudent replied to Confused07's topic in General Students

    This is where you got off track: Go back and look at the things you said you liked and go do that. Any degree program is going to be tough, challenging, and require some sacrifices. Given that, you...

  5. Nursing Clipboard

    2ndyearstudent replied to uwa2012's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Just get a regular old clipboard. My class sold nursing clipboards (with all sorts of information printed on them) as a fundraiser for our pinning ceremony. It works great as a clipboard but I have...

  6. Apothecary Measurements

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

    For testing purposes, we needed to be somewhat familiar with grains - and only on the very first dosage calc test. That was about it for us - check your learning objectives for what you need to know...

  7. The larger the gauge of the needle the smaller diameter???

    2ndyearstudent replied to CrystalClear75's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I made sure to learn this concept real well in first year - relating the gauges to the type of injections. Some of my classmates sort of pooh poohed this. Well, a year and half later, we had a test...

    2ndyearstudent replied to MsGreenBeauty's topic in General Students

  9. Working while going to Nursing school

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

    This is the only site you will find people regularly advising people to work full time while going to nursing school. Of course, this is cataclysmically bad advice. The thing is, people who try to do...

  10. Been asked to help in an emergency because you are a nursing student?

    2ndyearstudent replied to all4ofus's topic in General Students

    You always do whatever you can within the scope of your practice. The first thing you do if you know someone is injured and needs help is make sure 911 is called and advanced medical help is on the...

  11. Irritating Classmates

    2ndyearstudent replied to ImThatGuy's topic in General Students

    As an older male entering nursing school, I worked very hard to develop good relationships with as many of my classmates as I could. The annoying ones, I left alone. The friendships I did make are...

  12. 94% oh HESI, but still nervous

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

    Sounds like Bill Gates wringing his hands over what his auto repair bill might be. Just kidding. I applied with a 4.0 and crushed the entrance exam. Even so, I sweated out waiting for that...

  13. Frustrated....

    2ndyearstudent replied to ash2987's topic in General Students

  14. Can someone explain how a study group is at all effective?

    2ndyearstudent replied to bhanson's topic in General Students

    Explaining things to classmates has probably been the single most beneficial aspect of my study groups. By the time I've figured out how to explain something from a couple different perspectives,...

  15. Can someone explain how a study group is at all effective?

    2ndyearstudent replied to bhanson's topic in General Students

    "How do you prepare for a study group" Read the material. Go to class. Read the material again and focus on the objectives. "How does it provide any greater understanding of the material?" You hear...

  16. Hypotonic, isotonic, and hypertonic I.V. solutions? When are they used?

    2ndyearstudent replied to mookieslife's topic in General Students

    Get up from where ever you are RIGHT NOW and go buy the book, "Fluid and Electrolytes Made Easy" Seriously, one of the most valuable books I owned during first

  17. Low GPA...

    2ndyearstudent replied to Kim45's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The only thing your high school GPA matters is getting into a college. Ask to be let in on probationary status, then get as close to 4.0 in your prerequisites as you can. When applying to the...

  18. Looking for ways to finagle my way into ADN program ...

    2ndyearstudent replied to anpvk7's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You will stories of students who "finagled" their way into programs, but the reality is...you cannot. Nor can programs add slots on a whim. At 42, I finagled my way into my community college program...

  19. drug calculation

    2ndyearstudent replied to port's topic in General Students

    This question looks right off my recent Dosage Calc Test. Part I: Pt's wt in kg = 125/2.2 = 56.8 kg (They usually tell you to round kg to nearest 10kg. If my answers seem wrong, you forgot to...

  20. Math Help plz!

    2ndyearstudent replied to Azure1213's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    You use both times. Think of it this way: You order your lover to give you a massage every 8 hours. They ask you "How long is the massage to be" and you answer "30 minutes." So are you getting an 8...

  21. How did you know Nursing was/is for you

    2ndyearstudent replied to scrubs92's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I knew nursing was for me after a few weeks working at a LTC facility as a CNA. I hated the facility, many of my coworkers, and some of the nurses. But I loved the

    2ndyearstudent replied to finalscore3b1g's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I bought a Littman Classic IISE. I think I (over) paid around $90 at a nursing supply store in a strip mall, but it does everything I need it to do. Other brands you see listed in that price range...
