  3. Help with nursing diagnosis?

    littlerayofsunshine replied to ylhatso12's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Do you use mind maps - they're a pain but they do force you to "see your patient." If not, try brainstorming by listing all of the subjective and objective data first (your assessment). Then take...

  4. Help with my Evidence Based Practice Paper?

    littlerayofsunshine replied to supermommy08's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Does your school library subscribe to CINAHL? That is a great data base to search for nursing journal

  5. A second bachelors? BSN Question

    littlerayofsunshine replied to kah2012's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    There are many of these programs all over the country. I am in one in Michigan. It's less than 2 years long. Try this link...

  6. Non-nursing Bachelors, Looking to Obtain BSN. Need advice.

    littlerayofsunshine replied to JessW's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was in the same situation you are - BA in another field and I went the 2nd degree route. It's 19 months and it's flown by. I am finishing up the 4th semester now (we go all year) and will graduate...

  7. Eastern Michigan University BSN Traditional

    littlerayofsunshine replied to CasseyW's topic in Michigan Nursing

    We did not get to pick our schedule. They assign you to classes and we got our schedule at orientation (I think). I think those that needed DTC and Micro did have some choice. They took these...

  8. Eastern Michigan University BSN Traditional

    littlerayofsunshine replied to CasseyW's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Hi Just wanted to say that none of those classes are online only (or at least weren't last Fall). They all have an online week, but were otherwise on campus. Also - 209 is one day of skills lab on...

  9. F&E help

    littlerayofsunshine posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I know there are a lot of threads about this topic, but some of them are pretty old, so helpful links are gone. Here is my problem: I understand simple concepts like Na+/water relationship and fluid...

  10. Writing nursing papers

    littlerayofsunshine replied to JMederich's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Get the APA style book. There are lots of little nitpicky rules regarding the body of papers that are different than the MLA format. It's not just the citations that are

  11. Med calculation question

    littlerayofsunshine posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I can't figure out how to get the answer for this question, but I'll show you how I set it up. Order: cefepime hydrochloride 500 mg IV, q12h Avail: 2 g cefepime hydrochloride instruction 60gtt/mL;...

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

    littlerayofsunshine replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    I wonder how some of my fellow students behave in clinical. They act very unprofessional and immature in class during lecture. Nursing requires judgement and maturity. FYI -instructors take note of...

  13. Need help and advice please!

    littlerayofsunshine replied to npang's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    First off -- relax. You are so young. You have plenty of time to turn this around. You sound like an intelligent young woman and you are owning up to your first-year missteps. Not everyone settles...

  14. Feeling totally dejected

    littlerayofsunshine posted a topic in General Students

    Okay, so I guess this is a normal way to feel after about 6 weeks of NS, but today I'm really down. I am doing fine so far, but I have had a few rude awakenings. I know that a lot of people have...

  15. Feeling totally dejected

    littlerayofsunshine replied to littlerayofsunshine's topic in General Students

    Thanks for the kind words and encouragement. I am going to try to quit dwelling on mistakes and just take one thing at a time. I'll let you know how it goes. Good luck to all of you. It helps to hear...

  16. Feeling totally dejected

    littlerayofsunshine replied to littlerayofsunshine's topic in General Students

    Thanks for your replies. I tried to think about what exactly is making me feel discouraged. Right now, it's just about everything. The thing is that there is nothing major or 'wrong', it's just that...

  17. Getting your CI's attention

    littlerayofsunshine posted a topic in General Students

    So, I am in my first clinical rotation and my CI seems to be disinterested in talking to me. We were supposed to be able to review charts, ask questions, during the day when we are not busy with our...

  18. Community College? You must be stupid.

    littlerayofsunshine replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in General Students

    Just some food for thought..... What about the professional image of nurses (RNs)? Most other professions require AT LEAST a bachelor's degree. In health care , many other professions require a...

  19. I want to call shenanigans!

    littlerayofsunshine replied to sweetsleep28's topic in General Nursing

    I know that there are people with severe allergies to all sorts of foods. This means they don't have to ingest or even touch the food in order to have a bad reaction. I don't specifically know about...

  20. What are your nursing school uniform colors?

    littlerayofsunshine replied to RNinthemaking1986's topic in General Students

    Hunter green here, too....and lovely white shoes. Must be a popular combo. I am just glad they aren't
