  1. Is it fair to have a take home mutiple choice exam for A&P1?

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

    Your professor is an

  2. Only an ADN

    2ndyearstudent replied to latebloomer74's topic in General Students

    Well, maybe the person with the two year degree has 5-10 years experience in a hospital environment and the employer doesn't care how many papers on WHO Health Disparities and community nursing the 4...

  3. Only an ADN

    2ndyearstudent replied to latebloomer74's topic in General Students

    I think some people would like this to be the case (for years now), and maybe for certain jobs it is the case. But the reality is the current BSN educational system could not keep up with the job...

  4. Yelled at for posting on AN

    2ndyearstudent replied to Bormio's topic in General Students

    Do you really think no one ever got yelled at, reprimanded, laid off or fired for verbally saying something that later got back to their employer? Well, many people have. There is a trend in this...

  5. looking for other single moms

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

    Not to worry, you'll have plenty of company in nursing school. You cannot swing a dead A&P student without hitting a platoon of single moms at my school. Hell, at least three of my classmates...

  6. Scared of becoming a nurse

    2ndyearstudent replied to girlgirl4's topic in General Students

    It is up to you to balance these issues during nursing school. My primary study partner has about a million friends. She goes out on Friday and Saturday nights very often. She exercises 4-5 times a...

  7. Flu shot issue

    2ndyearstudent replied to coolpeach's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Yeah. There is no evidence behind the efficacy of vaccines at all. Measles, smallpox, hepatitis, polio...all just government conspiracies. It's all fun to throw bombs on a message board, but if you...

  8. Please, please set me straight!

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

    lol...this question drove my classmates nuts. Here is exactly how you do it, right before you give the med: 1. Ask your instructor or preceptor how they would do it. 2. Do it that way. Repeat as...

  9. How does BON handle + marijuana screens from nurses in states that have legalized it?

    2ndyearstudent replied to Neveranurseagain's topic in General Nursing

    Probably the same thing that happened when alcohol was legalized. You want to abuse the chronic, you do it on your own

  10. How do you deal with a doctor who sweared on you over the phone?

    2ndyearstudent replied to Blackheartednurse's topic in General Nursing

    If the scenario actually was as you describe it below, I might have said, "Can we continue this conversation after you grow the ****

  11. avoiding evil CIs = RN

    2ndyearstudent replied to amianurseyet?'s topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    It is always up to you to successfully interact with your CI. I've had great clinical instructors, and I have had one horrible one. With the one I didn't see eye to eye with, it was my job to make...

  12. ASN vs BSN Curriculum Question

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

    Other than the actual degree title, what are the main differences in terms of education and preparedness for the real world as an RN? Looks to me like you touched on the main differences below. I've...

  13. How long is clinical prep?

    2ndyearstudent replied to nianava's topic in General Students

    Yes, it is much longer at first, then gets shorter. For your very first clinicals, prep is stupendously long. You will have little experience getting the needed information from your chart - (or in...

  14. When Does Your Semester End?

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

    I don't think this semester will ever

  15. Stethoscopes

    2ndyearstudent replied to kcmc08's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    My 3M Littmann Classic II SE has been going strong for 3 semesters and you can have it when you remove it from my cold, dead

  16. what textbook is everyone using?

    2ndyearstudent replied to mischief08's topic in General Students

    If I were you (and I'm sure as heck not because I would never think of doing this), I would get the school's current class guide and figure out when the nursing classes meet. Then I would hang out in...

  17. Fluid & Electrolytes

    2ndyearstudent replied to mrscrook's topic in General Students

    S The people who did well on our F & E exams are the ones who did not just "memorize and forget" their way through A & P and Chemistry. So the groundwork for you has already been laid. Even...

  18. Is nursing worth it?!?

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

    Do you want to be a nurse, or do you want to tell people you have an Ivy league education? Either option is

  19. I have a math question that pertains to infusion rate and gtt/min

    2ndyearstudent replied to guess?'s topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    If you use dimensional analysis, you don't have to worry about remembering or manipulating a formula: 500ml/4h x 1h/60min x 15gtt/ml = 31.25 or 30 gtt/min There are shortcuts using a drop factor but I...

  20. I am stuck on 2 math homweork problems could someone help please!

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

    Is anyone else confused about the order? IV piggyback right? Not push? Which really doesn't make sense either if you were adding it to a 50mil bag and giving it over 1/2 hour like other...

  21. how does the grading system work at your college?

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

    Yep, thats the way the ball bounces. Wait until you get into nursing school, where you will dream longingly of the grading scale you currently despise. That's were 92.9 is a B and 76.9 is a frickin'...

  22. Tell me if you think this is fair.

    2ndyearstudent replied to SPN-RC's topic in General Students

    Why didn't you call your instructor (or a classmate) as soon as you learned of the emergency? Water under the bridge, but a good lesson for future clinical students: Call

  23. Dear Precepting Student:

    2ndyearstudent replied to Music in My Heart's topic in General Students

    I didnt really see the OP as being mean. Exasperated but not

  24. Dear Precepting Student:

    2ndyearstudent replied to Music in My Heart's topic in General Students

    Thanks for the note. I would be the opposite student. I start a preceptorship in the ICU in a couple days and I am scared crapless. I ain't so much as touching a light switch unless someone gives me...

  25. Can anyone dumb down this Hesi thing for me?

    2ndyearstudent replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in General Students

    Your ranking is not based on how well you did, it is based on how well you did compared to others taking the test. You had the highest score in the class, so you get the top
