    Suggestions for supplies :)

    something stupid I did that is supply-related... we have to write up med cards for clinical. I can't stand writing very much so my instructor said it was okay to type the info and glue it to index...

    Where do you sit in lecture

    Other people get to class insanely early so I'm usually stuck sitting where ever there's a spot. Next semester I guess I will have to plan on being there 30 minutes early if I want to have choice of...

    case study help!

    I think a big priority would be teaching to prevent recurrence of DKA since it's life-threatening. Sorry don't really have time to post more or thoroughly read your post over. I might take another...
  4. I'm in an ADN program and it's about $1500 per semester, including books. That's x4 semesters, assuming you have all the prereqs done. The school charges about $120 per credit including general fees,...

    What's your nursing kryptonite?

    I'm still a student but I have to say that so far my weakness is definitely poo. I even gag while changing my own baby's diaper. If it's just a little or a formed turd, I'm fine. But if it's soft and...

    writing papers during school?

    I'm in an ADN program and we have to write 2-3 papers per semester. They're not required to be long, about 2 - 5 pages, and we only need two references from nursing journals. So it's not too bad. I...

    antique peds nursing text

    Someone gave me a pediatric nursing textbook that was published in 1925. I'm doing my peds rotation now and it's amazing how much things have changed! I was flipping through it tonight and came across...

    Trouble in Clinical groups

    I don't think we're talking about any "official" portion of the patient's paper chart. If the student was taking those, the nurses definitely would have noticed... I'm assuming it's the patient care...

    Trouble in Clinical groups

    I think calling her and setting her up to incriminate herself on speaker phone was pretty wrong. If I heard girls in my group did that to someone, I would think they were ganging up to get her in...

    Looking for some guidence on a care plan.

    try thinking of some psychosocial diagnoses... risk for disturbed self-concept or body image risk for ineffective sexuality patterns or sexual dysfunction risk for loneliness (r/t decr. socialization...
  13. I think you're going a little overboard. You need time off to relax and stuff to reward yourself with. For example, you can watch your sunday night shows as long as you put in a good effort the rest...
  14. yep i'm in the bcc program. i think when i was admitted i had about 4 pre-reqs "pending" - was enrolled for them in the summer semester but hadn't even started the classes yet. it's hard to remember -...

    Need help with care plan for constipation

    i don't think you should change the diagnosis if the decreased activity is truly the related factor. but the constipation might also be related to pain meds or change in diet (hospital food). Some...

    easily overwhelmed

    It's all "ADHD" now - "ADD" is no longer used. You don't have to be hyperactive to be diagnosed, it could be the "inattentive type". A psychiatrist can make the diagnosis and prescribe medications....

    easily overwhelmed

    Have you ever been tested for adult ADHD? I've heard from several people that they suffered from what they thought was depression for years, but it wasn't until they tried ADHD meds (stimulants) that...
  22. You really don't need that rolling suitcase of a backpack... it's ridiculous, makes it impossible for me to get to my seat (since you always get there super early and sit on the end of the row) and we...

    How do you study with a baby?!?

    I have a 10 month old - his dad helps a lot but when it's just me and the baby and I need to study I usually go in his room, close the door and put all his toys all over the floor. I know they're bad...

    First semester random drug testing time

    I would imagine they'd kick you out if you fail If it was just that once, you might be okay. You can buy a home test at drug stores to see if you need to take more drastic measures... If it's a hair...
