    DBK99 replied to 2bNdNurse84's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I took the live review in May, and along with it, I got 30 days of the online access to all the lectures. I've watched them all, and Marlene doesn't do any of them except for the introduction and...

    No, I did Hurst. Now I'm reading that Hurst questions are easier than Kaplan, and freaking myself out, thinking I should've done Kaplan!

  10. NCLEX- I need help to understand IV fluids

    DBK99 replied to NAM123's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Isotonic: normal saline, lactated ringers, D5W, D51/4NS. Isotonic solutions go into the vascular space and stay there, so it brings BP up. If a person is dehydrated, in shock, fluid vol deficit, LR is...

    I graduate my ADN program in a couple weeks. We were required to buy them in the beginning also. We used them for in-class quizzes and practice questions during the first and second semesters, and...

  12. Poll: Was your anatomy & physio separate or combined?

    DBK99 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I start nursing school next week, and my school's nursing program required that the anatomy & physiology prereqs be taken as two separate, 4-credit hour lab classes. It looks like the majority of...

  13. Can someone explain the rationale for this?

    DBK99 posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    When going over the questions a few days after the test, I forgot to read what the rationale was: Patient is complaining of hip pain. Which event would best validate the patient's complaints to the...

  14. First nursing school tests, how did you do?

    DBK99 replied to JLChasteen's topic in General Students

    My RN program is known to be one of the more rigorous in our state also, and last year's class had a 100% first time taking NCLEX pass rate. The questions are a lot different than any other test in...

  15. Can someone explain the rationale for this?

    DBK99 replied to DBK99's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Thanks for all your replies! I think I get it..This may be a dumb question, but would patient tearing when being ambulated to wheelchair not be "objective data that was witnessed by the nurse herself"...

    DBK99 replied to futurenurseya33's topic in General Students

    Me! Took our first lecture exam this past Monday, 9/12. Will get scores tomorrow, on our first day of

  17. Tulsa Community College CNA Program

    DBK99 replied to Victory2013's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    Thank you :) I don't remember what the individual scores on Nelson Denny was, but my combined score was 16.3. You need at least a cumulative 2.5 GPA to apply for nursing. I had a 3.56 when I applied....

  18. Tulsa Community College CNA Program

    DBK99 replied to Victory2013's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    I took the online blended CNA course at TCC this past spring of 2011. I believe it was 8 or 9 weeks, also. It went from mid-March to May. The first few weeks were 1 day a week in lab, like you said....

  19. You paid HOW MUCH for nursing school??!!

    DBK99 replied to NSGstudent12's topic in General Students

    HMAmara, that's why I said some, not all. Believe it or not, there are people who think CC classes don't "count" or are dumbed down compared to 4 year

  20. You paid HOW MUCH for nursing school??!!

    DBK99 replied to NSGstudent12's topic in General Students

    I agree! It's crazy. I start my first semester of my ADN program at CC next week and this first semester was about $960 for tuition & fees. I think some people just want the university name with...

  21. TCC Fall 2011-Level 1 Students

    DBK99 replied to gustergirl's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

  23. Drug screen question?

    DBK99 posted a topic in General Students

    April of 2009 I got my first outbreak of cold sores. They spread ALL over my top and bottom lips, it was the grossest thing I'd ever seen and I didn't leave the house for literally a week and a half...

  24. Prerequisites, Advice..Questions.

    DBK99 replied to shantayk's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm sure it'll vary from teacher to teacher, but the online/blended classes will save you some time. When I was doing prereqs, I took the traditional micro class, with lecture & lab one after the...

  25. Taking organic chem and microbiology at the same timesounds bad?

    DBK99 replied to j0831's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You'll be busy, that's for sure. I don't have kids so I can't imagine what that's like. But it's definitely doable though. You do what you have to do. I took physiology & micro together in one...
