  1. Fluid/Electrolytes-Helpful Study Materials

    tsm007 replied to Halcyonn's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    This helped me with fluid & electrolytes

  2. Med Surg help

    tsm007 replied to Mainergal2000's topic in General Students

    The point of NCLEX questions isn't to memorize the answers, but to learn the process of answering them. There is a trick to it, but you really need a lot of practice to get good at them. I personally...

  3. Online Anatomy and Physiology with Lab

    tsm007 replied to TheMessenger13's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I didn't take A&P through here, but I took microbiology here A&P online with lab. It was a great course and I learned a lot. I actually took micro in a traditional school, but my credits were...

  4. IV Fluid Question

    tsm007 replied to FATGUCCI's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Hmm, going to try and take a stab at this. It's not the dehydrated part that is the issue, it's his blood pressure that makes it a problem. If his blood pressure is already bottoming out, you want...

  5. Mental health nursing, how to tackle this monster of a course?

    tsm007 replied to VAgirl247's topic in General Students

    I don't really understand your question. I studied for mental health the same way I studied for any other course. Learn the diseases/disorders, symptoms, priority assessment, and priority...

  6. What do you do when you want to quit?

    tsm007 replied to Nuked's topic in General Students

    Remind myself that goal is graduation, not perfection. And sometimes I have to say this over and over and over

  7. ATI Mental Health/ATI Leadership Exams

    tsm007 replied to msg88's topic in General Students

    I just took ATI Mental Health last week and did really well so I'd be glad to share my tips for ATI. I'm going to try to make my suggestions broad and offer some testing strategies. With mental...

  8. WGU Pre-licensure program

    tsm007 replied to BeesMama's topic in Western Governors University

    I took A&P through straighterline and they accepted that. My enrollment counselor actually referred me to Straighterline. However, that I know of they are looking for biochemistry as a prereq not...

  9. Need RN credits transfer help so badly to a college that will accept them.

    tsm007 replied to tupamoto's topic in General Students

    I know this is hard pill to swallow, but believe me you are not the first person in this boat. You will most likely have to start over. Not necessarily completely from scratch, but you aren't going to...

  10. Need RN credits transfer help so badly to a college that will accept them.

    tsm007 replied to tupamoto's topic in General Students

    I would talk to your current school and see if you can retake the class. Most schools allow a repeat of one class. It is very difficult to transfer nursing classes

  11. Pre-Licensure WGU Skills Labs

    tsm007 replied to Artemis2.0's topic in Western Governors University

    I personally travel, but I am the only one in my cohort traveling far enough to need a hotel. I have made friends that will let me stay at their house sometimes, but the labs are stressful to me so a...

  12. Pre-Licensure WGU Skills Labs

    tsm007 replied to Artemis2.0's topic in Western Governors University

    You attend labs usually over 2 weekends and then the 3rd weekend you test off. It is either a skills test where you are expected to perform certain skills or a simulation test where you have a patient...

  13. help!!! insulin sliding scale

    tsm007 replied to AdoreMyBeautyy's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'm still a student, but both hospitals I have been to thus far still use sliding scales. I have personal experience with carb factor and correction factor, but I haven't actually seen anyone use it...

    tsm007 replied to TarheelGirlx3's topic in General Students

    That's the book that helped me the most as

  16. Ad on Craiglist for ghostwriter for nursing student

    tsm007 posted a topic in General Students

    Wow! I knew people cheated, but really??? I was just glancing over health care jobs and found this. Not really what I had in mind for a job. What is wrong with people? Looking for Medical Student or...

    tsm007 replied to Sponges's topic in General Students

    Congratulations!

  18. Ad on Craiglist for ghostwriter for nursing student

    tsm007 replied to tsm007's topic in General Students

    Yes, they might know that if they did their own

  19. Female catheter tips

    tsm007 posted a topic in General Students

    I've only attempted one female catheter and it didn't go well. An RN with experience had problems as well so not going to be too hard on myself, but I'd like some tips for doing better next attempt. I...

  20. Female catheter tips

    tsm007 replied to tsm007's topic in General Students

    That's a great idea. Thanks for sharing

  21. Prerequisites and the actual nursing program

    tsm007 replied to unknowngenius10's topic in General Students

    You do use all of it, but I wouldn't go back and restudy it. When you hit the nursing classes every topic you will be reviewing the anatomy as you study the diseases. It will be easier for you to...

  22. WGU prelicensure BSN clinical availability for Military Personnel/ Military Spouses

    tsm007 replied to Robins19's topic in Western Governors University

    You have 72 hours for most clinicals. So it kind of works like this, every 5-7 weeks or so you'll have to go to clinicals. They do their clinicals in 2 week blocks at the end of the course which I...

  23. WGU prelicensure BSN clinical availability for Military Personnel/ Military Spouses

    tsm007 replied to Robins19's topic in Western Governors University

    You have to be able to attend the clinical sites for labs and clinical rotations, but you can commute. They used to require you to live within 50 miles, now they just highly recommend it. I travel and...

  24. WGU BSN prelicensure inquiry

    tsm007 replied to Robins19's topic in Western Governors University

    Hmm, let's see what I don't like is you are really only given text and online modules to learn by. If you are an auditory learner and learn best by lectures then this program wouldn't be a good fit. I...

    tsm007 replied to Nursingsrn's topic in General Students

    I've only taken two ATI tests so far - Fundamentals and Med/Surg but I've done well on both tests. However, our school like yours has had a lot fail those tests. My best advice is to study the ATI...
