  1. Information from people who have already attended pre licensure nursing

    tsm007 replied to nursebernay's topic in Western Governors University

    The prenursing curriculum isn't bad at all. The actual nursing classes get tougher, but are doable. Most of the people that I know do work and/or have families. I do not work at this time, but I have...

  2. Information from people who have already attended pre licensure nursing

    tsm007 replied to nursebernay's topic in Western Governors University

  3. Information from people who have already attended pre licensure nursing

    tsm007 replied to nursebernay's topic in Western Governors University

  4. No Prereqs done LPN-BSN WGU?

    tsm007 replied to Ultraposh's topic in Western Governors University

    The prelicensure program would be what you would be looking at. You would need to have certain prereqs done before you could even apply. The prelicensure program is only available in certain states -...

  6. Did anybody buy a nursing mannikin to practice skills at home?

    tsm007 replied to strawberryluv's topic in General Students

    I made one. I bought some cheap fabric, traced an outline of one of my kids, and sewed it and stuffed it. (What didn't hold since my sewing skills stink I duck taped.) I bought some cheap plastic hose...

  7. Anyone in or finished the pre-licensure online BSN program?

    tsm007 replied to artonurse's topic in Western Governors University

    I'm in the Indiana program, but it works similarly in all the locations. I love it! There are some drawbacks and I don't love everything about it, but I think it is a very good program for working...

  8. Nasty virus and upcoming NICU rotation!

    tsm007 posted a topic in General Students

    I have been coughing for over a week. It's getting worse. I DID go see the doctor so I am not looking for medical advice. He said it's viral, my lungs are clear, and I'll just have to let it run it's...

  9. Supraventricular tachycardia

    tsm007 posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'm prepping for simulation labs this week and thought of a question (that was not assigned for homework) just thinking through what I would do in treating a patient with supraventricular tachycardia...

  10. Nasty virus and upcoming NICU rotation!

    tsm007 replied to tsm007's topic in General Students

    Thank you all so much. I wasn't sure if a mask and hand hygiene would be enough. I'm going to feel kind of silly, but rather feel silly than make anyone

  11. Do you think eating in the classroom is rude?

    tsm007 replied to Alnitak7's topic in General Students

    I am a rule follower by nature. I don't find eating in class rude. We have 8 hour labs and they tell us to bring food. However, I do find it rude if the sign on the door says "No food or drinks...

  12. Supraventricular tachycardia

    tsm007 replied to tsm007's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    That was incredibly helpful! Your link was very helpful as well. I really had no clue how to assess stable vs unstable. Thank you so

  13. Dimensional Analysis made easy please

    tsm007 posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I am going to bite the bullet and make myself learn dimensional analysis. I am very good at math and do a lot of my math in my head. I use the ratio proportion method and am very proficient with it....

  14. Dimensional Analysis made easy please

    tsm007 replied to tsm007's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Thank you. After I posted this my husband assured me he could teach me how to do it. This is how he does math. I just didn't realize it because he didn't call it by the same name. He always calls it...

  15. Dimensional Analysis made easy please

    tsm007 replied to tsm007's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    This is they way they are showing all the explanations in class. So far I have not been outright "forced" to learn it, but when they explain things I honestly don't understand anything they are...

  16. Is it worth it to get LPN license while still in nursing school?

    tsm007 replied to SopranoKris's topic in General Students

    It depends on the school. This is my second attempt at nursing school. I had to drop from a program and I can't find it in writing, but I remember with the school I was in you had to take it after...

  17. Is it worth it to get LPN license while still in nursing school?

    tsm007 replied to SopranoKris's topic in General Students

    Totally agree with this one. I would do it. I don't have that option and have no intention to work as an LPN, but if I had the option I would take it. I've had life hand me enough curve balls to know...

  18. Pharmacologic management of placenta previa?

    tsm007 posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    This is a homework question, of course, but kind of confused. Not sure what exactly they're going for here. All I can think of is betamethasone for fetal lung maturity and possibly tocylitics to hault...

  19. Pharmacologic management of placenta previa?

    tsm007 replied to tsm007's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thank you. I kind of think that is what they are going after. It's more a study prep question versus a graded assignment anyway. I just wanted to make sure there wasn't something big I was

  20. Too many study aids??

    tsm007 replied to snuzzardbuzzard's topic in General Students

    You have nothing to lose by trying. Have you looked at learningally.org? If you have a learning disability that is documented I think they would help you out....

    I noticed you tagged this post Texas. If you life in Texas you might take a look at WGU's prelicensure program. It might be what you are looking

  23. Nursing Class online! Help!

    tsm007 replied to sugabrwn1971's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's not true. There are nursing classes online. The clinical component cannot be done on line, but there are nursing programs that have their classes online. There are also programs that do take...

  24. Clinical advice- How can I help?

    tsm007 replied to kayleen4246's topic in General Students

    With my last 2 rotations I did things like clear trays from rooms if the were done eating, stock gloves in the room, stock the isolation cart, go to all the rooms and ask if they need any water (if...

  25. Clinical instructor gives study guide to clinical group is this unfair

    tsm007 replied to chiasmus100's topic in General Students

    I would let it go. You just can't spend that much energy on all the things unfair in nursing school. Tons of things have been unfair along my way through school. Heck, life is unfair. Come here, vent,...
