  8. Nursing students at health fairs.

    Our school gave us credit (clinical hrs) for doing health fairs. First year students were permitted to do BP checks, weight, height and Pulse rate. Second year students were allowed to do Acu-checks. Ask to see if you can get credit for your time. G...
  9. Do PearsonV. people know our score when we leave?

    OMG! I was thinking the same thing! I had a guy, and he put his hand on my shoulder when I raised my hand to leave....as if to say..."It will be ok,you can always retest." I am freaking out, I will not sleep till I get my results. Glad to know I'm n...
  10. Go to which ever is closer to you. Gas is expected to rise to $100 a barrel by winter. Thats approx $3.75 (reg) a gallon. I know its crazy but If the CC is cheaper, and lets say...30 miles away, it may not be cheaper after all. Good luck.
  11. ERI testing

    Hi, we too have eri testing at our school, and I feel the same as most. The tests are not providing me with any knowledge that is in conjunction with our course content. At best, I have learned how to memorize answers. To some-what answer your quest...

  13. I am sorry to you dedicated OR nurses who use this board for serious topics but I had no where to turn. Usually I do my posts on the student forums, because I'm a second semester student in an ADN program. I just am overwhelmed with all the areas of...
  14. How horrible

    We started with 40, last semester we had 30 (including some new ones who already had their LPN) we were told that only 15 of us are expected to make it to our next (and last) semester. I don't know how many we will have in Jan. But of the ones we've ...

  20. NG tube dropped on student

    That is crazy, our school never does that kind of stuff. We're stuck working on dummies from 1974. Do you think some one from your school would do lipo on my thighs? My insurance wont pay for it.
  21. left crying!

    Key her car.................................................Ok ok ok ok, don't key her car, but believe in the power of Karma.
  22. Which should I do First? Hardest?? or Easiest?

    Are these classes prerecs or corecs? If you are taking them with your nursing class, as I did, then do the hard ones (A&P) first because your nursing will get very hard as you go on. I had fundamentals, Med Surg, and OB as my first three semester...

    we wear our lab coats for preclinicals, uniform for clinicals, and follow the school's normal dress code for lecture and lab. However, skills check off we wear what ever is required.
