  1. To Stop or Not

    sugarmagnoliaRN replied to littlewingrn's topic in General Nursing

    I'm in Texas too and just recently got CPR certified... my understanding was that you can be sued only if you are acting on behalf of the hospital you work for... i.e. if you stopped at the scene of...

  2. Nursing textbooks question!

    sugarmagnoliaRN posted a topic in General Students

  3. HESI questions

    sugarmagnoliaRN replied to donaldo11's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Donaldo, sorry your thread got hijacked so badly! I had to deal with a similar situation, the schools I'm applying to only let you take the HESI once every admission cycle... one school requires you...

  4. What are your other degrees in?

    sugarmagnoliaRN replied to nurse2b013's topic in General Students

    I seriously thought about transferring to a school that had this major... I ended up staying with Art History, which was no more useful once I graduated :) I loved studying culture but now it's on to...

  5. What are your other degrees in?

    sugarmagnoliaRN replied to nurse2b013's topic in General Students

    BA in Art History :) I'll also be done May 2013! (provided I score mid-90s on my HESI so I'm accepted to start the nursing program Spring

  6. Is this CRAZY?--What do I drop?

    sugarmagnoliaRN replied to OBplease's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I say don't drop anything!! You can do this. You're obviously a good student. I am finishing a summer of taking 15 hours (I know that's not much but obviously everything is way accelerated in the...

  7. Nursing Jewelry

    sugarmagnoliaRN replied to WindyhillBSN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think the hurtful part of that patient's comment had anything to do with the degree... it's the JUST a nurse part I don't like. JUST the person that's taking care of

    sugarmagnoliaRN replied to Amdroell's topic in Texas Nursing

  9. Pathophysiology textbooks

    sugarmagnoliaRN posted a topic in General Students

    I recently finished Pathophysiology online (before the Nursing program actually starts) but the textbook was very general. Can anyone recommend a more thorough textbook so I can refresh myself on this...

  12. Brookhaven Nursing Program - Spring 2012 Admission

    sugarmagnoliaRN replied to jmiarn1029's topic in Texas Nursing

    ITguy, your story gave me a little sigh of relief! :) Chem is actually going ok for me... I'm taking 1405 though, which I'm sure is much easier! I (barely) have an A right now and I have 2 labs and an...

  14. Nursing School Must Haves??

    sugarmagnoliaRN replied to Servingshots's topic in General Students

    I know this post is old, but I have a question for those of you who said your ipod touch got you through clinicals - if students did bring books to clinicals, are you literally lugging them around on...

  15. Brookhaven Nursing Program

    sugarmagnoliaRN replied to Amdroell's topic in Texas Nursing

    Hey I'm pretty sure this question has been asked before, but this thread is so long I can't find it! Do they let y'all use voice recorders in lectures? I think that would be really helpful in case I...

  16. Baylor (or similar accelerated BSN) vs. Brookhaven... need some advice!

    sugarmagnoliaRN posted a topic in Texas Nursing

    Hey everyone, I need some advice - I've been thinking about this for months trying to make a decision and I think I'm going to drive myself crazy! I am going to apply to nursing school (the sooner the...

  17. when to take the dosage test

    sugarmagnoliaRN replied to MadameFreckles's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'd get a basic nursing-specific math book to prepare but with that you should be fine! Dosage calculations are mostly ratio problems... they're pretty simple if you've got some algebra under your...

    sugarmagnoliaRN replied to Amdroell's topic in Texas Nursing

    Quick question! Y'all that are starting in the fall or already graduated - what can I get before starting the program in terms of supplies, etc? I want to pick up a few things I'll need while I'm...

  21. Nursing textbooks question!

    sugarmagnoliaRN replied to sugarmagnoliaRN's topic in General Students

    See I figure I better at least keep my A&P book... Mi Vida Loca, I love the quote beneath your comment about

  22. Nursing textbooks question!

    sugarmagnoliaRN replied to sugarmagnoliaRN's topic in General Students

    I think I agree with the Dosage text... I guess they figured since it's so important to know, it warrants an entire course (although it is much shorter than our other courses). I do have a smaller...
