    Fair grading

    Clovery replied to Ldla1234's topic in General Students

    My school never throws out any questions, regardless of the percentage of students who got them wrong. We don't usually review exams in class, but if there's a question that "fell out" then the...

    Funnest/Favorite part about nursing school?

    Clovery replied to shannon96's topic in General Students

    The funnest part for me was my psych rotation. My instructor was awesome once you got to know her. For psych clinicals. we'd get report for all the patients (usually around 30) then we would go hang...

    Question about Bedside Manner

    Clovery replied to lilemma's topic in General Students

    I felt awkward when I started nursing school too. I find it amazing that as I end my nursing school career (graduate in a few weeks!), talking with the patients and offering touch comes very...

    Drug Guide??

    Clovery replied to haha341778's topic in General Students

    Davis Drug Guide is really good. It's worth it to get the smartphone app and online access for about $50, even if they don't let you use your phone at

    Any helpful tips on Psych

    Clovery replied to chinkychunsa's topic in General Students

    Memorize the therapeutic and nontherapeutic communication techniques. Know examples of each one. These are really key to psych. Never choose a response where the nurse asks "Why?". The first thing...

    Best ways to study and get work done?

    Clovery replied to Dezy's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I study first, because our assignments are just marked satisfactory or unsatisfactory; the only thing that counts towards our letter grade is our tests. When I do my assignments, I tend to go a...

    Best ways to study and get work done?

    Clovery replied to Dezy's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    um not sure I understand what you are saying but my best study method is to condense, condense, condense the information. I try to type it all out into 1 or 2 page printable sheets per topic. I'm a...

    HELP PLEASE!! COPD patients

    Clovery replied to nelge16v's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    We just covered this today in lecture.... COPD pts are also anxious/irritable/cranky because of a lack of oxygen to their brains. I really don't get the question, though. It seems like it it could be...

    Help with Nursing Diagnoses

    Clovery replied to Matka's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    How is her circulation in the lower limbs? Is the pain causing an ineffective breathing pattern? What about psychosocial dx? I think the disturbed sleep is fine, I just personally wouldn't use it...

    Care Plan - Hemorrhagic Stroke

    Clovery replied to ChelseaSN's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Since she is on "comfort care" I would probably use the risk for aspiration as one of the priorities. If she wants to eat & drink you want to be very careful that she doesn't get aspiration...

    Help with Nursing Diagnoses

    Clovery replied to Matka's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I agree pain is the first priority. I think impaired mobility would be the next priority since that puts her at risk for pressure ulcers, DVTs, constipation, powerlessness, etc. However, if she's...

    Some of the things you hear as a student..

    Clovery replied to jasilady's topic in General Students

    The first half of my first semester we learned and did the "CNA stuff" in the lab & at clinical. I don't know how they could have expected us to already know

    For the love of God, I cannot figure out why my pretend pt is taking Flagyl!!!

    Clovery replied to StudentOfHealing's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I would guess it's to prevent/treat infection due to the blistering lesions. Her WBCs are high, which suggests there might be an infection. Flagyl is indicated for skin & skin structure...

    Clovery replied to Lucidity's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Thanks for posting the answer! I've been thinking about this question for a few days now, and was meaning to come back here and change my mind (originally I thought "route"). But for a fatal error...

    I Have A Dilemma!

    Clovery replied to Born2Care4All's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I think you need to spell all this out for her. Give her a bit of a wake up call, since she is your friend. Going to the instructor should be a last resort, after you've tried everything possible to...

    Question about the 6 rights of medication administration?

    Clovery replied to Lucidity's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Hmm that's an interesting question. If you don't document, or document incorrectly, the patient may end up getting a double dose of a med. For example, another nurse may come along and see the...

    Clovery replied to Clovery's topic in General Students

    Thanks for the replies, everyone. I know I have to develop a thick skin, and I think I have been.... but it still hurt when the patient said that. I understand it's just the illness talking. I...

    Clovery replied to Clovery's topic in General Students

    I don't really appreciate the attitude but to clear up what you perceive as inconsistencies... The primary RN was standing in the doorway of a room and we had just come back from lunch. I was walking...

    Why do they give so much ridiculous, insignificant homework?????

    Clovery replied to Overwhelmed1026's topic in General Students

    I don't really consider it a waste of time, but it bothers me that all the assignments we get that are mandatory don't count towards our grade. Research papers, careplans, presentations, etc. are all...
