    wantccu posted a topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Hi everyone, I was wondering if someone can give me the scoop on the new grad situation in Charlotte? I will be graduating my ADN program here in Ohio in May, then it's likely that my husband's job...

  3. Changes in treatment over the years?

    wantccu posted a topic in Oncology

    Hello, I need to do an EBP report for school and I'd like to have an oncology topic as we're doing oncology currently. The problem is that I don't know how things have changed with nursing practice...

  4. Changes in treatment over the years?

    wantccu replied to wantccu's topic in Oncology

    Thank you! ^^. I already wrote my paper but that's exactly the type of response I was looking for. Pediatric oncology has to be heartbreaking

  5. Changes in treatment over the years?

    wantccu replied to wantccu's topic in Oncology

    I'm capable of using google, thank you. I was just hoping to hear from people in the field who have been for awhile what their personal experiences as a nurse in practice have been. Sorry to bother...

  6. ABC's "old school"?!

    wantccu posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Reviewed our most recent respiratory test in class today. There was a question that had a patient in the ER with facial trauma and swelling and asked what the priority assessment was. Two of the...

  7. Looking for a good med-surg aid

    wantccu replied to cbv91's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I can't decide between med surg made easy or pathophysiology made easy. Can anyone who has seen both compare the

  8. Priority nursing diagnosis for anemia in labor/birth

    wantccu replied to ixchel's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Did she have a c or episiotomy? That could be a why. You need a good perfusion to heal and avoid infection. Without knowing details, that's where my mind would go. But, I'm a student as well and...

  9. ABC's "old school"?!

    wantccu replied to wantccu's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I wish I could remember them Esme. It was pretty broad... Everything from someone in a homeless shelter to a postpartum mom. I'll let you know what my professor says about it. For now - on to...

  10. ABC's "old school"?!

    wantccu replied to wantccu's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Thank you for all of the great replies! It's really awesome that you guys (who are clearly brilliant and accomplished nurses) take such time to help a lowly student that you don't know help...

  11. ABC's "old school"?!

    wantccu replied to wantccu's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    My rationale for the pneumonia one was that even though the patient is being turned every two hours to try to prevent stasis in the lungs, the patient is still comatose, bed ridden, not ambulating,...

  12. ABC's "old school"?!

    wantccu replied to wantccu's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    The rationale was pretty much "because I said so". I have an appointment to meet with her, though. Not to nit pick and argue points, but because I simply don't understand the rationale about a few...

  13. ABC's "old school"?!

    wantccu replied to wantccu's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Thank you for the helpful responses. That was my thought process. Couple of weird rationales on this exam honestly. I don't want to be "that" person that argues over every question, but I do want...

    Good for you! We had that happen this semester - lost our 115 instructor three weeks from the end of class. Any big plans after

    wantccu replied to Momofzra's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I can't speak for anyone else, but I used free apps. There was no place for us to leave anything or sit down at all at our clinical site, so I didn't bring more than what I could carry with/on me....

    wantccu replied to Momofzra's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Really, burden away - it's winter break and I don't mind! :) Cut throat students? I really didn't witness that at all. The program is tough. They try to make it seem way scarier than it is. That...

  20. Nervous New Student..trying to get prepared! HELP!

    wantccu replied to 2015RN2b's topic in General Students

    I started out with a big binder and loose leaf for each class. What I found is that it was a LOT of bulk to be carrying around every day and we have these tiny lecture desks that they don't fit on...

  21. I failed Nursing critical thinking :( Can I still become a good nurse?

    wantccu replied to alopez9367's topic in General Students

    Focus on the questions and what they are asking, rather than what you've memorized. If you could give examples of the kind of questions you are having trouble with maybe we could help walk you...

  23. Weeding out?

    wantccu posted a topic in General Students

    It seem's like everyone is always telling me which semester is the "weeding out" semester. And everyone has a different opinion of which that is. So, I'm curious to know what the masses think. IS...

  24. Weeding out?

    wantccu replied to wantccu's topic in General Students

    Interesting thing is that before they even know who we're losing (there are a lot right on the border line of pass/fail going into finals) - They only have 100 clinical spots available for our class...

  25. Weeding out?

    wantccu replied to wantccu's topic in General Students

    That's good to hear. I'm just finishing up my first semester of clinicals and honestly, it hasn't been all that bad. Yes, there's a lot of material and time consuming for sure. I've just heard...
