    allycat77 replied to FutureRNKat's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I could not agree more. I am also a mother, and have only missed a class because of the recent floodings in Colorado where we had roads washed out. Of course I cleared this with my professor, and...

    1st hugs to you. I have been there (sometimes still am) with there with the anxiety. Talk to your dad and let him know it is affecting you. I'm thinking you might have a lot of this on your mind while...

  4. Preparing for clinicals

    allycat77 replied to love67's topic in General Students

    Yep we have to do the same plus drug cards or use pre-made drug cards. Plus diet, i&o, catheter, iv sites, co-morbidities, past surgeries, etc. I am usually at the hospital an hour plus. Then when...

  5. Patho/pharm 1

    allycat77 replied to ebosse76's topic in General Students

    Mosbys mnemonic flashcards for pharm are great. I cannot imagine taking med surg at the same time as patho. I felt like i needed the patho foundation in order to progress thru med surg (which i'm...

  6. Failed first med surg exam :(

    allycat77 replied to loveSBK's topic in General Students

    I agree about Med Surg being difficult. Our Med Surg courses are divided into 2 shorter courses in 1 semester so in case you don't do as well in one part, you are not stuck with 7 credits worth of a...

    allycat77 replied to Kencanwin's topic in General Students

    allycat77 replied to sarahmac09's topic in General Students

  12. Nursing School Making Me A Hypochondriac!

    allycat77 replied to NICUnurse21's topic in General Students

    Yes! I was having pain in my left calf that would come on suddenly while sitting. I was convinced I had a DVT, never mind that there was no swelling, redness, etc. I went to the Dr and she did the...

  13. ABSN students with a bad work ethic

    allycat77 replied to seconddegreebsn's topic in General Students

    That sucks. Completely. I would ask the accuser what exactly was it that you said that was deemed as bullying. I am not the biggest fan of group projects, but it seems to be a big part of nursing...

    allycat77 replied to CP2013's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    allycat77 posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    So my class on lab data analysis starts Wednesday, and looking over a case study she sent out, I am confused. For the patient's WBC, the findings are 15 H. What does H stand for? I can't find it...

  19. Organizing Class Work, Handouts, and Binders

    allycat77 replied to mcbtny9's topic in General Students

    I am in week 5 of my 1st semester. All of my profs so far use PowerPoints, no handouts. I convert the PPs to PDFs, and annotate (take notes directly) on my tablet. That way I am not looking at a bunch...

    allycat77 replied to JS88's topic in General Students

    allycat77 posted a topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    allycat77 replied to freckles23's topic in General Students
