    Time Management

    Nurse Kyles replied to ABM1227's topic in General Students

    How big is your class? How long is the presentation supposed to be? I would maybe find some different brain sheets/timelines on here and divide your class into as many groups as you have different...

    First Clinical Experience

    Nurse Kyles replied to vtrice1988's topic in General Students

    Breathe through your mouth? haha stuff gets pretty gross sometimes, but I think that we all just get used to it. Look at all the nurses that can wipe up BM wash their hands and then 2 minutes later...

    Nurse Kyles replied to rocketsurgeon87's topic in General Students

    I would say maybe go and talk to the program director or perhaps program dean. Were you previously put on remediation for your safety/HIPPA violation? I would take all of the dings that you listed...

    Nurse Kyles replied to tarotale's topic in General Students

    The really SUCKY thing about skyscape is that it is a subscription, and after the one year membership is up, you no longer get to keep the information. Unbound medicine offers suites with the exact...

    How to pass RN class tests?!

    Nurse Kyles replied to borgenrm's topic in General Students

    You should probably pick up an NCLEX book. In the front it will explain how to take NCLEX questions, and there will be tons of questions with rationale. It is really about learning to take the test,...

    Nursing Care Plan

    Nurse Kyles replied to beka22's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    The easiest thing to do, is to look in your nursing diagnosis handbook. If you do not have one, buy one!! I have Ackley, and it makes care plans so easy. What you do is look up the patient's medical...

    Fellow student, BIG TIME user and cheater.

    Nurse Kyles replied to hopeful_2013's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    People like that do NOT make it through nursing school. You will quickly learn how nursing school is so much more than just knowledge tests. Even people who know the material often do not pass,...

    Clinical Vent

    Nurse Kyles replied to bri2012's topic in General Students

    I cannot tell you how many times I have told nurses No. Usually they are very respectful and understanding. You don't have to be rude just say "I have to wait for my instructor. Either you can do...

    Nurse Kyles replied to Bridgettea83's topic in General Students

    You shouldn't expect to fail, but truth be told MANY do!! It is just important to stay focused & when you think you have studied enough.. study more! From my original 1st semester clinical group...

    Anyone worried b/c you did RN and not BSN?

    Nurse Kyles replied to Chris99mu's topic in General Students

    Wow! You think they would really do that to you?? In my area the ADN graduates are actually preferred. I just had clinicals on a floor that had 5+ new grad hires that were all from my tech school....

    OB Rotations

    Nurse Kyles replied to ImThatGuy's topic in General Students

    At my school, during the OB rotation, we each took a turn (1 shift) rotating through surgery. That was probably my favorite part of OB. If the census was low we would have a mom or baby. Otherwise...

    Nurse Kyles replied to lemidora's topic in General Students

    I would go for it! I am kinda scared about having this summer off between my 3rd & 4th semester. So much time off to forget everything I learned! If I could take classes this summer &...

    Case Study Presentation

    Nurse Kyles replied to studentchar's topic in General Students

    I haven't specifically had to do a "case study presentation", but we would do a case study style briefing during post conference on a daily basis. I would start with the clinical paperwork that you...

    Do I need this for nursing school?

    Nurse Kyles replied to StangGang92's topic in General Students

    I didn't read all of the replies, but I would suggest an ipod touch. You can have multiple med calculators, medical dictionary, drug guide, lab references and much more all on one little device. I...

    Nurse Kyles replied to marilynmom's topic in General Students
