Pharmacology and the Nursing Process is an EXCELLENT book to have along with whatever book your school uses. I Highly, HIGHLY recommend this book! It's great! Take your time with cardiac drugs and try not to get stressed with it as it is intensive. K...

I wrote this today just to kind of vent and to see if anyone out there can understand. This is a very long post and may sound jumbled but my main point is my frustration. Well I will start off by saying that I am different from my classmates in the s...

To the bolded.....yeah some of the people here are very silly and have the "above others" attitude. It's a bit sad but it just proves me right, lol and I don't mind it all! People like microtutor really set me straight though. So if I were you I woul...

Well I guess that's not a valid statement though because it is teaching me to become more assertive. I still have that kind of "stand back and observe" or "just keep quiet" kind of thing going but Im doing better. I told the nurse the other day I wou...

Lol, as silly as you sound you have valid points and have also validated some of my points as to how people who claim they have a "nursing" attitude are. You, just like me, have personal issues within yourself that you should work on as well (see the...

Wow, I didn't think this thread would still be here, lol. Well, this has got to be the best response! You are right that I need to work on my assertiveness and I did that today and it went really well. The classmate wasn't following me, but she was m...

What does the patient's lab values look like? You can always come up with a dx from those.

Lmbo, you're funny as well. Your post initially made me chuckle and thanks for that. I appreciate your opinion and nice chatting with you. :)

No the instructor asked what was wrong because I was talking all day and then like I mentioned before I just stopped talking. Nothing else good was going to come out of that mouth that day but that morning I was speaking to everyone and quite cheerfu...

Oh no, lol. One thing I do well is sit back quietly, observe, and listen. Oh yeah, and my recorder for lecture picks up so much. I have heard students saying really really awful things about instructors like cursing them out and stuff because of a te...

Lol Im telling you Im not mad. The only thing that honestly bothers me is how they act toward the mentally ill patients. THAT truly makes ME want to cry and I hate it so much. I don't understand why people have to perpetuate the stigma surrounding pe...

Evidently you didn't read my main post so I am going to have to make it clear to you. Follow me: During times in clinical when people are following me around (now this is Psych clinical or mental health clinical), I get highly irritated. If I say wh...

Oh the exact definition, lol. You looked it up that's cool, lol. But yeah I would say that's about right but in their case it's all fake! Are they annoying? Oh hells yes! Im not saying people need to be like me....in class, or lecture, there are plen...

No I don't have family here in this town and after classes are over I go straight home and I live alone. So on a daily basis, I go to class then go home. Then there's clinical and none of the nurses in my clinical setting have ever said anything to m...

Never. No one at the school knows me personally. These people judge according to things we learn in didactic and practice in practicum. They are seriously judging other people but yet they do nothing. I keep my social life and school very separate an...

No, no, no, lol. Im not angry I swear, lol! Im just highly irritated. I am the type of person I do tend to swear, so when I say lines like, "shut the hell up" (which is my go-to line), Im not mad at all. Sometimes I say it so bland and nonchalant. An...

Oh no ma'am, lol. I promise. Clinical days are the days I look forward too, I swear! I love the patients!!!! In MedSurg, most of the patients really just need basic things, like someone to fetch them things or someone just to sit and talk and I am al...

Ok let me clear one thing up. I had NO idea so many people didn't know what a prude was so let me give you an example, lol: A prude is by no means a compliment. A goody-two shoes, a suck-up, a student, STUDENT who will tell you that you are wron...

You really don't have to be over 25 though Addison. You can still qualify for housing and by housing I mean government-assisted housing......just a sacrifice for the time being?

Addison would you ever consider student housing? Are you over 25 years old? There are places that will take students and qualify you for housing.

You must be in a major city somewhere. You may have to make a sacrifice and move to a smaller sub-city that really doesn't have a waiting list. I had to do that. Im 2 hours outside of the metropolitan area I came from and would have still be on a wai...

Hi everyone, newbie here! Well, I think I will introduce myself another day. Right now I am in panic mode! I have no clue what I am doing with this. NG tube feeding is not at all easy for me. I keep getting air in the tube and pinching at the wrong ...

HA! I know this commercial!!! I feel like u, it's irritating to here that little jingle. After it goes off Im always thinking, "Yeah right!"

Hey everyone! Well, for anyone that just completed their first semester....how was it and what do u guys plan on doing differently as far as studying, participating in activities, test preparations, your jobs, your family, your relationships, etc? W...

Oh my gawd same here! Those are definitely my plans to start back working out. This semester alone I gained 8 lbs.
