    lalopop86 replied to sunnybabe's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I want to give you "props" for not panicking and acting immediately. I am a nurse tech and a nursing student who has never seen a code and I always wonder if I will know the right thing to do. It...

  3. How do I fight off the nervousness as a New Nursing Student?

    lalopop86 replied to brmuirhead's topic in General Students

    Not necessarily. I'm the same way and I got really nervous when I heard those things too but it's all about managing your time. Clinical paperwork and care plans can be really time consuming and yes...

    lalopop86 replied to KJoRN81's topic in General Students

  6. Organic chemistry, statistics, and anatomy together?

    lalopop86 replied to nelnel89's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I wouldn't if you can help it. Organic chem is a large one to tackle in itself, adding anatomy on top of it alone would be a lot. Both are very time consuming. Organic made me cry a lot too. Wah. Good...

    lalopop86 replied to Jc1982's topic in General Students

  8. Lovenox injections + distended abdomen

    lalopop86 posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I recently was taking care of a pt in clinical who had an extremely distended abdomen and I found it difficult to administer a Lovenox injection. It was hard to grasp enough skin to "bunch up" and as...

  10. Lovenox injections + distended abdomen

    lalopop86 replied to lalopop86's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I think what happened was that I did not inject the needle all the way. I gave an injection this morning on a pt who had a slightly distended abdomen and it was fine. Thank you guys for the replies....

  12. A rolling suitcase....really???

    lalopop86 replied to OgreAchiever's topic in General Students

    I think it just depends. I have not ever seen the use for them in our program, because being an ADN program we are in one class each semester (clinicals 2 days a week & class the other days for...

  13. Experienced Student Nurses...advice?

    lalopop86 replied to cchesney's topic in General Students

    Yeah I wouldn't do that. You definitely won't have this much free time once the program starts, I promise. I know that wasn't quite your question, but that's my advice :) Congratulations on your...

  14. No needle nursing?

    lalopop86 replied to nursemaybee's topic in General Nursing

    When I was young & in high school I was absolutely terrified of needles. I would almost pass out when I had to go to the doctor in fear that I would be given a shot or they would have to draw...

    lalopop86 replied to Pete77's topic in General Students

    First of all, like the above said, don't get down on yourself for an 80% on your first test. Nursing school is tough, and you don't have time for negative self-talk. You never know what to expect on...

    lalopop86 replied to Pneumothorax's topic in General Students

    I too hate having so much downtime in my clinicals. I am a first semester student & we do basic care and assessments (for ONE pt) but can only give meds with our instructor present. The nurses...

  20. Things you would love to say to your fellow nursing students!

    lalopop86 replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    WASH. YOUR. DANG. HANDS. You are not only a nursing student, but an adult. Why would you think it's okay to cough into your hands, especially in a hospital, and wipe it on your pants and not wash your...

  23. How much anatomy do CNAs need to know?

    lalopop86 replied to aaron_j_sutter's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    If you haven't yet had A&P, I wouldn't worry too much about it. They will teach you the A&P that they think you need to know in your CNA
