    What do you ACTUALLY DO in clinicals?

    Clovery replied to Nolander's topic in General Students

    My first semester we mostly just did vitals and assisted with ADLs (like bathing, going to the bathroom, etc). Halfway through we were cleared to pass oral medications and do caths & wound...

    RN program/parent/working ?'s

    Clovery replied to MommyRNtobe's topic in General Students

    I think I am not the most efficient person in the world, especially when it comes to self-motivated tasks like studying and housework. I have no idea how the other girls in my group manage a family,...

    posting grades

    Clovery replied to Pneumothorax's topic in General Students

    this semester all of our exams are on the computer and it tells us our grade as soon as we hit the "finish" button - so nice! We go over all of our quizzes after we take them so we pretty much know...

    Management of Incomplete Abortion?

    Clovery replied to Clovery's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Thanks, but I've already come across those results and they weren't very helpful. there are a few anecdotes about miscarriage at 16 weeks, but that's about it. lmgtfy was cute like 2-3 yrs ago but now...

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

    Clovery replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    Please don't huff and puff impatiently and snicker at our classmates who are ESL when they are speaking in front of the class. They've come just as far as you have in the program. If you think it's...

    homework: assessment and interventions

    Clovery replied to lulain's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    homework help, please

    Clovery replied to lulain's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    It completely depends on the diagnosis. In general, you definitely want vitals, pain, temp. You may not get a BP on a baby. Make sure any equipment that came with them is intact and functioning (like...

    thanks for the replies. my school does have a high NCLEX success rate and I know not everyone takes the optional pharmacology course. We are pretty much required to take an NCLEX prep course like...

    Sickle Cell Question

    Clovery replied to treasurel's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    The life span of an RBC is about 80 to 120 days. The new blood doesn't sickle, the RBCs just die off and are absorbed. That's why transfusions aren't a permanent fix. The life cycle of a sickle cell...

    Anyone else hate group projects?

    Clovery replied to citylights89's topic in General Students

    I don't mind group projects, but I'm usually the person in the "leader" role. Maybe I've just been lucky that I haven't run into too many flaky people because I've never had an issue except for one...

    Tattoos and nursing

    Clovery replied to PrincessJessica's topic in General Nursing

    Tattoos & piercings aren't for me, but I'm not bothered by them on other people. Honestly, as a patient, I'd probably view a nurse or doctor with tattoos or extensive piercings as more "down to...

    Clovery replied to lulain's topic in General Students

    When I first read this, I took it as the baby usually loves the mom's (her) milk, i.e. she is breastfeeding. However unless the mom is pumping it'd be difficult to gauge how many ounces she was...
