  1. Therapeutic Communication

    LCinTraining replied to LCinTraining's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Adding: I meant I wrote the entire conversation down, figured out all the other responses, and what forms of communication they were, and am stuck on that one particular

  2. Unbelievable exam question

    LCinTraining replied to metal_m0nk's topic in General Students

    Sounds like a scantron test to me. Welcome to nursing school where they test on your ability to fill in circles, and not on critical thinking or the ability to actually treat a

  3. Palative Care Still Raw

    LCinTraining replied to LCinTraining's topic in General Students

    I have lost loved ones before. I know eventually it stops and you can remember them and smile. Most times we are there. I know statistically that doesn't even start until around 8 months. So I'm not...

  4. IV count?

    LCinTraining posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Not asking you to do the homework, just asking for help clarifying what they are asking. It has a picture of an almost empty IV bag. The fluid is below the last marked line. It asks us to determine...

  5. IV count?

    LCinTraining replied to LCinTraining's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I agree. I hope I'm not coming across as saying it is stupid. I think it is an excellent skill to have. I was just trying to figure out what exactly the question was asking. LOL I guess I figured it...

  6. IV count?

    LCinTraining replied to LCinTraining's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    this is the rational of our

  7. Help with OB!!

    LCinTraining replied to ask87's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    There's not much to it. Catch the slimey alien, hand it off to the mother ship. (Just kidding. But it does help me destress about OB thinking about it that

  8. IV count?

    LCinTraining replied to LCinTraining's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Esme, that sounds about right for what we have to do now LOL. Only, we count for 15 seconds instead of a full minute and the drop factor is on the

  9. Funnest/Favorite part about nursing school?

    LCinTraining replied to shannon96's topic in General Students

    So far, funniest part was recording catheterization for my partner...who was a nun. Immature, I know, but watching her hold a plastic member just really forced me to bite my tongue lest I giggle...

  10. Palative Care Still Raw

    LCinTraining replied to LCinTraining's topic in General Students

    I honestly don't know how you do it. I mean I appreciate all our HOSPICE nurse did, but my heart would bleed out every time. I guess it goes to say it takes a special person to be able to do it. I'm...

  11. Research on nursing students attrition (drop out) from University

    LCinTraining replied to Stanislav's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Yes my work schedule is brutal, and no I'm not in a position to quit work or go part time as I do this nursing school thing, but that's not what has me contemplating walking. The lack of consistency...

  12. IV count?

    LCinTraining replied to LCinTraining's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Good point

  13. Can I get in trouble because one of my residents fell?

    LCinTraining replied to BigPat's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I agree. I would ask to read the incident

  14. IV count?

    LCinTraining replied to LCinTraining's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Nope. We had no other information. I guestimated and got the answer right so I suppose I did something right. And Esme, we are learning time taping now too. We are expected to time tape any IVs we...

  15. IV count?

    LCinTraining replied to LCinTraining's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    True, but as it is with most of these questions, common sense is not an option.

  16. Work part-time or full-time while in nursing school?

    LCinTraining replied to Lukes089's topic in General Students

    I work full time and it is brutal. So far it is doable, but I've given up on getting

  17. IV count?

    LCinTraining replied to LCinTraining's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I thought the question was odd as well. We aren't allowed to use pumps yet. The rationale is that time taping and figuring all of this stuff out manually has to be drilled into our brains just in...

  18. Keeping Family Intact

    LCinTraining replied to zephyr9's topic in General Students

    I don't know. I don't feel like I am balancing at all. I'm exhausted all the time. I yell at my kids. I fall asleep standing up at work. And am constantly feeling like I am rushing to get homework...

  19. E-Books vs. Regular Textbooks

    LCinTraining replied to loislane23's topic in General Students

    There is a pretty long topic I made about this at the beginning if the semester. It works if you have a tablet PC or iPad best. I use two different apps in order to get all my text books, and still...

  20. What to do when your patient adores you?

    LCinTraining replied to dsf43's topic in General Students

  21. No social life...can anyone else relate?

    LCinTraining replied to futuresctRN's topic in General Students

    What s a social

  22. Calling all students...need your opinions!

    LCinTraining replied to KBICU's topic in General Students

    I'm always a fan of inducing a mock (make sure no patients are harmed in the making of this film) alarm. A.k.a, when I train aides at work, I intentionally put the pulse ox on the same hand as the BP...

  23. Calling all moms

    LCinTraining replied to Lolita34's topic in General Students

    You are lucky to be able not to work. I work nights. I go to school during the day. Yes, I miss school events. It weighs on me, but my husband goes in my place. There is nothing I can do about it,...

  24. Overwhelmed

    LCinTraining posted a topic in General Students

    I can't seem to work full time and to this school thing full time while maintaining my GPA. Husband is all frustrated because an 82% should be fine with me, but it's a C at my school. I worked all...

  25. Getting a job - from the employers perspective

    LCinTraining replied to Nascar nurse's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    That's just insane. I'm sorry you had that experience. I have never placed that type of information on a cover letter, honestly. It has actually never come up. I've gotten every position I've ever...
