    kaydensmom01 replied to mursetudent25's topic in General Students

    " Well the evaluation is based on certain objectives, so she would have to provide reasons of how I didn't meet those objectives or justify her poor review. Up to today my performance has been very...

  2. Is the first semester really the hardest?

    kaydensmom01 replied to leekaye's topic in General Students

    I am in my third semester and it honestly has gotten harder and harder. The first semester we were in a nursing home and only did CNA care besides passing meds 2 x's. Some people may not be good at...

  4. Reconstitution HELP Pleaseeeeeee!!!!!!! :(

    kaydensmom01 replied to HalfMoons's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I agree that I would pick one, but in order to yield the 600,000 un/ml you would have to add in the full 5.5 ml. It says "add 5.5ml to equal 600,000un/ml". If you add in less it will not equal that...

  5. Should I take a semester off and do an externship?

    kaydensmom01 replied to enesberg's topic in General Students

    I have only heard of externships WHILE you are in nursing school. Also what is the difference if you go into an externship with poor skills and going into a nursing job with poor skills? Either way...

    kaydensmom01 replied to Katie71275's topic in General Students

  7. About to graduate and discouraged.

    kaydensmom01 replied to kodacat's topic in General Students

    I am going to graduate in May and also still get nervous taking vitals. I don't think that it has to do with age b/c I am 22. I also have not worked while many others have in school. There is nothing...

  9. First semester nursing student... at the brink!

    kaydensmom01 replied to abagail1220's topic in General Students

    I also couldn't stand listening to lectures on nursing theories and such. Yes it is important but you will move on from learning about that and learn about diseases and nursing interventions,...

  10. Trouble with starting IV's

    kaydensmom01 replied to Katniss88's topic in General Students

    I am a third semester student and I just had my first attempt on Monday. I missed the vein also, but I am not worried about it. As the other poster had said, IV starts are a skill. They will come with...

  12. Most relevant/useful pre-nursing science class?

    kaydensmom01 replied to bardone's topic in General Students

  13. How long did it take you to gather your pt info?

    kaydensmom01 replied to StudentOfHealing's topic in General Students

    It really depends on numerous factors. It depends what semester you are (I am faster now than my previous), it depends on charting (if paper charting doctors and nurses may need), it depends on how...

  14. CNA, EKG, and PHLEBOTOMY Certification

    kaydensmom01 replied to Queen Tiye, CNA's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    I have also heard that you must assume the role of the RN, which is why most facilities will not hire a new grad RN as a

  15. Tips on Choosing First Patient

    kaydensmom01 replied to zTracks's topic in General Students

    I would choose a difficult patient. Choose one that is diabetic with injections, one with a good amount of meds. It is better to get exposure from the beginning. It may be hard but you will learn a...

  16. Did you learn IV in NS?!

    kaydensmom01 replied to tammy_zeidan09's topic in General Students

    We learn IV's also in my ADN program. We have to pass it as a skill to pass the second semester, and then after that we get to do it in clinical when the opportunity arises. I am in the third now and...

  17. Nursing Games is taking its toll

    kaydensmom01 replied to ImKosher's topic in General Students

  18. Is the first semester the hardest?

    kaydensmom01 replied to countrygirl1234's topic in General Students

    It is much harder as time goes on! I am in the third and it honestly feels at least 5x's more difficult than the first semester. This is when we lose the most people also. The first semester was also...

  19. Indication for Nurse Competence?

    kaydensmom01 replied to Jmiami's topic in General Students

    In my experience excelling in pre reqs is no indication for how you will do in nursing school. I actually had a 100% in ap, chemistry and organic chem! I am serious, I loved them classes and it just...

  20. Clinical Failure

    kaydensmom01 replied to student1919's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Giving an F from a nurse's evaluation is normal. Your instructor cannot be 10 places at once, the nurse that you are with is to observe and see if you are behaving appropriately. Maybe the instructor...

  21. Clinical Failure

    kaydensmom01 replied to student1919's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    You are not taking responsibility, as everyone else has stated. I am not sure what you wanted by coming on here, we can not support YOUR DECISIONS about filing grievances about being late. We have to...

    kaydensmom01 replied to Squarestate's topic in General Students

    I feel the same way, I am not in my practiculum until next semester though. I have been uncomfortable in clinicals from day 1 and I do not feel like it has gotten any better. I have gotten A's in most...

  24. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP (physiology) (scary rant)

    kaydensmom01 replied to Dezy's topic in General Students

    I read my book nonstop in physiology. I read it page by page, over and over again until I understood it. I researched you tube videos that helped me visualize it. I wrote definitions, outlines, and...

  25. Questioning ethics/legality of "bake-sale" threat

    kaydensmom01 replied to sunnygirlfriend's topic in General Students

    I can see how its possible if it is going towards the pinning ceremony, everyone should be accountable for coming up with the money for it, the responsibility should not fall on everyone else. If it...
