  1. Priority Question (Med/Surg Midterm)

    NICURN2013 posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Hi everyone... I was going over my Med/Surg Midterm "points to concentrate on" and I have a question about priority. We've been taught ABC's, then pain... SO... the bullet says: Priority concerning...

  2. Priority Question (Med/Surg Midterm)

    NICURN2013 replied to NICURN2013's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I thought it was too vague, but that's what it said. Hopefully it'll make more sense on the test

    Solneeshka, I love how you put it all together so smoothly! I'm in my first clinical term and I think this will greatly help me! Thank you!

  5. Should smokers be admitted into the nursing program?

    NICURN2013 replied to Elly Aker's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm not a smoker, but I'm getting really annoyed with all the hatred toward smokers lately. I hear it ALL THE TIME in school. I don't agree with smoking, but since when did nurses get so judgemental?...

  6. Clinical Instructor - PLEASE give me your thoughts/advice!

    NICURN2013 posted a topic in General Students

    Hello everyone, I'm in a BSN-RN program and I'm in my first clinical rotation. I'm on the Oncology floor now (last 2 weeks) and I had one day on Med/Surg.. This was my 4th week. I took Fundamental...

  7. Clinical Instructor - PLEASE give me your thoughts/advice!

    NICURN2013 replied to NICURN2013's topic in General Students

    Thankfully... I talked with my instructor today and told her exactly what my concerns were and she said I was doing nothing wrong. She also said she was very glad I was trying new skills and getting...

  8. Clinical Instructor - PLEASE give me your thoughts/advice!

    NICURN2013 replied to NICURN2013's topic in General Students

    I like your idea!! I just hate how unorganized it is and not knowing what's expected of me, what I'm allowed to do, or how much is tooooo much. They always say to take charge and say you want to do...

  9. Clinical Instructor - PLEASE give me your thoughts/advice!

    NICURN2013 replied to NICURN2013's topic in General Students

    Hmm... see, I'm not so sure now. I'm going to go to her office hours and get it figured out completely tomorrow. I do not like feeling unsure. She changes her mind about everything and because this is...

  10. Clinical Instructor - PLEASE give me your thoughts/advice!

    NICURN2013 replied to NICURN2013's topic in General Students

    I guess maybe I'll just pull the instructor aside and ask her directly 1 on 1 what I am allowed to do.. so hopefully it won't bite me in the butt later... BUT I totally seeing her as the instructor to...

  11. Clinical Instructor - PLEASE give me your thoughts/advice!

    NICURN2013 replied to NICURN2013's topic in General Students

    See - that's what I thought. I thought I was suppose to do more assessments and getting to know my way around, but our instructor wants us to do more, but she isn't around to do it with us but my...

  12. Clinical Instructor - PLEASE give me your thoughts/advice!

    NICURN2013 replied to NICURN2013's topic in General Students

    OKay - That makes me feel a little better. She spends a lot of time with this one student and mentioned (which I hope she doesn't talk about me with other students) that he makes her nervous because...

  13. 2nd semester in RN program, ready to quit.

    NICURN2013 replied to Undecided.'s topic in General Students

    If you've only been in clinical a short time and you're unhappy with an instructor I'd say stick it out. If ER was interesting to you then I'm guessing (I'm also a student) when you're in a more...

  14. Oncology vs. Med-Surg.

    NICURN2013 replied to havehope's topic in Oncology

    I would love to know this too! I'm a student nurse on the Oncology floor this week. It's my first term in clinical.. we don't get any information about our patients before we're there, so I'd love to...

  15. Sick of people who think Nursing will be easy!

    NICURN2013 replied to katebean04's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think the same thing. I HATE it when people constantly complain about how hard it is and how much we have to study... then you'll ask them how much they study and they'll always find a list of...

  16. FIRST CLINICAL!!

    NICURN2013 posted a topic in General Students

    Hey everyone! I'm starting my first clinical rotation this week! :) I'm so excited. I did SO well in Fundamentals Lecture/Lab and Pharmacology last term, A's in all 3. I'm going into Intro to Med/Surg...

  17. FIRST CLINICAL!!

    NICURN2013 replied to NICURN2013's topic in General Students

    Thanks JROregon! I have an orientation on Monday, so I'm definitely going to keep my eyes open for everything. I took a CNA class and had clinical at a nursing home for a week, so I feel a little...

  18. WCU or MSMC for ADN-MSN?

    NICURN2013 replied to MCruzRN's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I really like WCU. :) I'm going there for my BSN degree. I'm not sure how the MSN program is, but I really really enjoy the professors and the environment. I know they're planning on doing a lot of...

  19. At my lowest point, my patient lifted ME up...

    NICURN2013 replied to FrazzledButBlessed's topic in General Students

    WOW! See... the patients we care for are amazing. :) What a nice story, I'm glad it ended up good for you. We always seem to blank out at the worst times. Hopefully clinical will go great next time...

  20. (OMG) why is text books so expensive?.

    NICURN2013 replied to jamaicanwanabenrs's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  21. Fundamentals of Nursing

    NICURN2013 replied to EVLGNUS's topic in General Students

    I don't believe Fundamentals is "common sense" at all. I guess the things you learn may be concerned "common sense" but the quizzes/tests/HESIs/ATI questions are absolutely not just "common sense."...

  22. Got a B on my first Fundies test!!

    NICURN2013 replied to wannabmidwife's topic in General Students

    NICURN2013 replied to NursingStudentMommy's topic in General Students

    I agree!! I love this site and it's really AWESOME to have through my journey in NS! Thanks!!

  25. Tips from you morning people! :/

    NICURN2013 posted a topic in General Students

    I've never been a morning person and I have 3 classes that start at 7am this term. Yea I know, I have to get use to it because many of my clinical will be even earlier and blah, blah.. I know this,...
