Oh, ok. Gotcha. Just wondering. I've Googled a few things, and it seems to be more of a facility policy thing than anything. Thanks for you guys quick responses! :)

Well, from my understanding.... If the left arm is the standard, in the event an individual didn't circle it (like our protocol is at the hospital), then you would automatically check the left forearm, because that is the "standard"...

Hello nurses! Quick question: I was taught in nursing school that the left forearm is the standard for PPD, although you may administer in right forearm if for some reason you can't use left for some reason. Is this true? I'm asking because I said this to an LPN today, and she stated that she never heard/was taught this? Clarification, anyone.?

Good evening my fellow students and nurses! Well, next week is supposed to be my graduation date - May 9th. But, I need an 86 to pass with a C. I don't know what has been the problem this semester. When I go to review my test, my professor said that I get the harder questions right, but the easier questions wrong. I just don't know what to do right now. I'm so sick. The thought of having to repeat a semester is scary. There is no shame in repeating, but when you have small kids that you've missed out on doing a lot of things with, the thought of repeating sickens me. My head feels as if it's about to explode, and all I do is cry. Any ideas, words of comfort? ....that would be greatly appreciated right now. UPDATE! You guys, I did it! I am officially graduating on Dec. 12!! I can't believe how fast the semester went by. The lowest grade I made this semester was 79.88...everything else, A's and B's. I have one more test, which is the final. At this point I can make a 30 on the final and still pass! I can't begin to tell you guys how excited I am. I would like to take my NCLEX as soon as possible, so I've been doing 75 questions a day for the past month. Ready to begin this new chapter of my life, and ready to get back to having a life. Thanks for all the encouragement!

Thanks guys! Well, I took the final, and got an 81!! ...so close... At least I get to come back in the fall. Very blessed to have so many fellow students, nurses, and faculty that are rooting for me. Excited for what's to come... Still hopeful that I will become a nurse in 2014!

:) @ GrnTea. I like the comment, "Why don't you like that?" Hehe!As a new nursing student myself, I find posts on this site extremely helpful...and amusing! :)

"I guess the saying is true that it takes a certain type of person to be a nurse." :)

I just got my acceptance letter a couple of days ago! I remember thinking, "It's ok if you don't get in. It's ok!" ....and what do you know...I got in!! I jumped up and down and cried so hard it was probably frightening to those who saw me. LOL
-
Yep, that's exactly what I mean. It says that on our letters that we get after we turn in our RSVP form. If our grades drop below a C, then we basically get the axe!! I know a lot of people are on the borderline right now in some of their classes, so there is a good possibility that you could get in, if they decide not to retake those classes in the summer.
-
Yea, they are waiting for those of us who don't make the grades this semester, or who decides to decline their seat. I think you have a pretty good shot of making it on in, though. Keep the faith!!
-
Thank you all!! Pretty surprised myself! The envelope is thin. It's only the congrats letter with important dates, & the RSVP form!!
-
Yea, they went out, cause guess what? I'M ACCEPTED! I'm serious this time! Lol.
