  1. I'm having major assessment problems. Please help!!!!

    DenaInWyo replied to Jessica Student RN's topic in General Nursing

    Well, will wonders never cease. I have had lots of trouble with pedal pulses, and have never, ever been able to find my own. Sitting here, I whipped my sock off, moved my big toe to find that tendon,...

  2. I need Sympathy!

    DenaInWyo replied to Limik's topic in General Nursing

    The flu is running amok through my class, too. One of our students even actually got tested for it and came up positive..poor thing. Glad I got the shot, but I have had a miserable head/chest cold...

  3. What time is it? The watch watch...

    DenaInWyo replied to NurseFirst's topic in General Nursing

    I am so hard on watches/watch bands that I buy the cheapie ones in the costume jewelry section at walmart. They have a huge selection, and they cost less than 10 bucks, which is less than most...

  4. Fingerprinting Problem...Help!

    DenaInWyo replied to JustAnuthaGirl's topic in General Students

    My school does the same background check that the BON does. I guess they figure that turning us loose in a hospital for clinicals would warrant such..makes sense to me. Since we don't require...

  5. questions about nusing, and males in nursing

    DenaInWyo replied to daddy-o's topic in General Nursing

    And.. Before I threw out the idea of starting out in RN school and doing LPN first, I would check to see what kind of financial aid is available to help pay for it. You might be very pleasantly...

  6. what do you use: notebooks/binders/other??

    DenaInWyo replied to Maycee's topic in General Students

    If I find that we will have ALOT of handouts, then I will probably switch over to the binder type...I don't really know what to expect yet! Oh..you'll have a ALOT of handouts. :chuckle May I...

  7. Ultrascopes?

    DenaInWyo replied to manna's topic in General Students

    Just got one over the break..I love it so far, but have only tested it out on my (somewhat) willing household subjects. It's really amazing how much more you can hear, but I can also see my...

  8. what do you use: notebooks/binders/other??

    DenaInWyo replied to Maycee's topic in General Students

    I have a canvas binder that goes to class with me every day..a section for each class so I have all my stuff with me. Then, at the end of each unit, that info/notes/handouts get filed into a 3 ring...

  9. 6 Rights of Medication Administration

    DenaInWyo replied to betsy1963's topic in General Students

    We were also taught an unofficial ninth: Right equipment (meaning the correct type of syringe etc.) But the 8 were the "official" ones. Edited to add: Our 8 rights are: Right Drug Right Dose Right...

  10. Diamonds in school?

    DenaInWyo replied to JoniL&DRN's topic in General Students

    The only thing I could think of would be to keep you all "uniform" looking..when I was in the military, we were allowed to wear silver studs (enlisted) or gold studs (officer or chief and above) only...

  11. Anyone go through a divorce while in Nursing school?

    DenaInWyo replied to NewEnglandRN's topic in General Students

    I didn't do mine during nursing school, but about 5 years ago. I had a relationship where he wanted me to center my life around him..any interest outside of that was "selfish" on my part. This was...

    DenaInWyo replied to Achoo!'s topic in General Students

    yes, thanks! I have a test in micro tonight and those were really helpful.

  13. A & P 2 and Nursing I at the same time, am I that CRAZY?????

    DenaInWyo replied to dream8's topic in General Students

    I took A&P online..and it was much easier that way, for me at least. If you like online classes, that might be something to check into. I am currently taking micro (which I think is MUCH harder...

  14. HELP... I am Grade obsessed

    DenaInWyo replied to JoniL&DRN's topic in General Students

    Yep, me too. I just got back from a test, as a matter of fact. After we take the test, we retake it in groups, so it's pretty easy to get a good idea of what you got. I think I got a 91 on it, and...

  15. Any ideas on finding a part time Job

    DenaInWyo replied to LPNtobe's topic in General Students

    Of course, a job in the health care field would be ideal, for the experience you'll gain, but if you are looking to make some money (you mentioned walmart), I would find a busy restaurant and become a...

  16. Background Check

    DenaInWyo posted a topic in General Students

    Bad news today, or at least enough to give me one more thing to worry about on top of all the general stress. My Issues in Nursing class today was lead by our dept. head and went over the program's...

  17. Background Check

    DenaInWyo replied to DenaInWyo's topic in General Students

    Thanks for the reassurance :) Here's the rub: I am 100% certain that my "sordid past" wouldn't be enough to keep me from getting a license, and no, I have never been in trouble as an adult. What I...

  18. Nursing school = Acne?

    DenaInWyo replied to cherokeesummer's topic in General Students

    Ugh..me too, but not school or stress related, just once a month since hitting 30. Don't think I had more than about two zits all through my teens, but for awhile there, I think I had acne plus a...
