Fluid and electrolytes.. cardio and respiratory!!!

I graduate on Friday.. I've made only A's and B's in nursing school. I've had instructors ask if they could use several of my assignments as examples for future classes... I took my ATI GN predictor and ranked in the 99th percentile :) Whew.. that...

No rounding...ever! 77 is passing, 85 is a B, and 93 is an A. Our clinicals count for grades which is nice because they're always worth more credits than the lecture.

Europe! Wow! :) I have pinning and graduation on the 13th! Woohoo! Hope fully will start working as a GN asap! Oh, and study, study, study for mighty nclex!

Would anyone be willing to look over my resume? Pleasssee. :)

I'm studying!! I have a test on tuesday, ATI's on wednesday, GN predictor on Friday and my finals next week.. pinning/commencement on the 13th!!!!!

My little one was 8 months when I started the program. I actually declined my acceptance in 2008 because I was pregnant. I knew he would come around finals of my first semester... I am glad I waited. Thank goodness for an awesome sitter who has had p...

This. *high five* You exactly described how it is for me. Now I'm considered "aggressive" .. Y'know what? They can have fun being stomped on in 'the real world'.. I just happen to have a back bone!

I lost a total of 60lbs during semesters 2 & 3 but have gained 15lbs back this last semester! Grrrr!!!

I think it would be worth it. We had to pay "dues" of $5 a month starting second semester. Most people didn't pay their dues monthly. When they had $$ they just turned it in to the treasurer. By the end it was enough to cover everyones $60 pin. We ha...

Depends on your program. With me this was supposed to be the easiest semester: MedSurg III, pharm II and nursing seminar. It hasn't been hard academically but I'm burnt out on the drama so I've lost a lot of interest in being there. I hope you don't ...

They also didn't give you codes to practice tests online?? Since you don't have to ATI book then just use your lecture book. Make sure you can meet all the outcomes before every chapter you covered and the test questions at the end. Good Luck!

The ATI book will help. Also make sure you can meet the outcomes infront of every chapter of your book. My maternal-newborn teacher is 1000 years old..she teaches us at a BSN level and tests at MSN level so our ATI was cake. I think I got in the 99t...

hellooo everyone! first time asking for help with this stuff. usually i'm a-ok in this area, but i have some major senioritis and anal/cranial syndrome going on. i had a 57 y/o make with acute pancreatitis. he was able to provide all his own care. .....

This is how it is here. 77-84.9 C, 85-92.9 B, 93+ A... and absolutely no rounding. My best friend failed last semester by 0.2 pts.. So happy I graduate in exactly one month. I'm done with this mess

Anyone have any experience with this residency program? I am in NM right now but will be visiting Elizabethton in 2 weeks. I wanted to visit JCMC and Sycamore Shoals to see if they will entertain new grads. I graduate (ADN) in May and my husband is ...

That's awesome! I have some questiong..Do you have a BSN or ADN? Are you in the residency program?? Is the pay ok?

To the girl who sits infront of me: Please stop taking my answers and saying them 1 second after I do at a louder tone so you can take credit. Stop competing with me in EVERYTHING. Get some confidence. To the girl who sits infront of her: Get a lif...

Dig inhibits the enzyme (sodium-potassium ATPase) that regulates entry of K, Na and Ca into the heart's muscles..This will increase the amount of Ca inside the heart's cells, but then reduces the level of K inside the cells

I did mine on handwashing!

Do you get to attend a meeting? Going to the AA meeting was one of my favorite psych rotations

I've been doing this a lot lately. I don't ever remember the dreams but in that lucid moment before you wake all I know is it's nursing related and really screwed up. I'm glad I don't remember the dreams!

Are you using the cd's with the books? They have great nclex type questions with rationales. Prerequisites are nothing like nursing school. It can be a shock to the ego. Take a breath, relax, and start doing lots of practice tests. Ask your instructo...

The NG tube has a thin radiopaque strip that shows up on the x-ray

What are some of the biggest challenges? Guilt. Guilty feelings for not studying as much as I should because I want to be around the house with my kids and hubby. Guilty feelings for not being there when I do study. Knowing that our lives have been ...
