I took my boards at 8:00 am Fri and got the good pop up ("Our records indicate that you have recently scheduled this exam. Please contact your Member Board for further assistance. Another registration cannot be made at this time".) around noon Fri. P...

If you are frustrated with the time requirements for class and clinical and frustrated with the instructors making things over complicated I hate to tell you it's only going to get worse as you advance through the program. The instructors will expect...

Wow I can't imagine not being able to review my exams. How can you learn your strengths and weaknesses without being able to see what you missed. We have to clear our tables then go over the test with our instructor so we can ask questions and get ra...

If this is how you truly think that you should be communicating with your patients then I can understand your clinical instructors concern. Your logical and truthful comes across as condescending and threatening not the best way to facilitate communi...

I guess I don't see the problem 1 - you either go work for the small hospital for 4 years to pay back their investment in you or 2 - you pay back the money you owe them with interest. That was the deal you agreed to. Either way you're paying back the...

Focus on the the pathophys & manifestations - that should help clue you into the interventions. The Davis Success Series is awesome.

I'm currently taking Maternal Child and our text teaches it the same as iteachbob. Maternal-Child Nursing 3rd edition by McKinney, James, Murray, Ashwell pg 262 G: 3 T: 1 P: 1 A: 1 L: 3 P is one - the number of fetuses in pregnancy doesn't change the...

go over metric system, and how to convert between systems like 5ml in 1 tsp, 30 ml = 1 oz, 1 kg = 2.2 lbs That's what I think of when I heard conversions

I'm so sorry your clinical experience is so rotten! :hug: Just keep in mind it's only 4 weeks to get through for a career you will enjoy for a lifetime. Plaster a pleasant expression on and do the best job you know how to do and tune out what ever th...

Shoot I didn't know we were in the same class! I think part of it is maturity like srobb11 said and some students seriously underestimate how much work is required to do well in nursing school. There are numerous quality study guides available, most ...

I would think twice before going over not only your instructor's head but also the deans. Particularly since the semester isn't even over yet. I don't understand why you considered that the dean broke confidence, just what exactly did you expect them...

I'm getting my ADN and will graduate in May, in my program we have had fluids & electrolytes lectures in every semester. We cover IV therapy in our adult health rotation 2nd year and we have a simulator arm with blood flash and we have to practic...

I have a pair of Danskos and I LOVE them. I started with a pair of the Sketcher shape ups and they killed my ankles not to mention being off balance when transferring or walking pts is not a good idea. I've heard that Danskos run small and some peop...

Sounds like you had one of those teachers who thinks it their job to "weed out" the nursing school applicants. Get yourself a different teacher and try it again. All your pre req's are basic knowledge based testing your nursing classes are a whole di...

Get the book Fundamentals Success by Patricia M. Nugent and Barbara A. Vitale. You can order it at Amazon. I think I paid around $30 for it. The book teaches you how to break down and answer NCLEX style questions and is divided into chapters to corre...

If you already have limited time to study, limited support available from your husband, and you stress easily the two year program would be the way to go. Nursing school is light years more stressful than your pre req's and double the study time but ...

I'm currently in school and we are taught to aspirate all IMs.

I was wondering what does the amount the syringe holds have to do with needle size? Can't a 3mL syringe come with different needle lengths?

The course I took covered the individual nutrients, ie carbs, protein, fats, vitamins etc, what foods contain them, what their chemical composition was, how it was broken down and used in the body on the molecular level. How to figure calories for sp...

I wouldn't call or email, I would go in person to talk to your professor. You will have a better chance presenting your case this way. But be prepared to be told no, you failed by two points and did nothing during the semester to correct the fact tha...

Congratulations! Get a good nights sleep, eat something that morning even if breakfast isn't your thing. Lay out you uniform, shoes, what ever gear your school requires, the night before. This avoids the running around the house like a chicken with y...

I had class mates that taped the lectures and listened while they worked out. I had to just schedule gym time the same as class or study time, for me it helped to de-stress but I couldn't listen to lectures I had to totally get away. It really helpe...

Sorry but i don't see what is offensive about this, silly & ridiculous but not offensive to nurses.
