Yes, it went to the good popup about 5 hours after I finished my test.

One of the girls in my class wanted to practice inserting a NG. No one volunteered so she did it to herself... I practiced that stressful head to toe (fundamentals) on my 7 year old.

This particular popup has caused me to hyperventilate and my BP to go through the roof. I have always been a fast test taker in class and on Kaplans (usually finished with 100-180 before the rest of my class is close to 30-50). I spent a grand total ...

Just make sure you give your person a chance to rest a few minutes in between bp checks!

1. Make sure that your cuff size fits your person. 80% of the arm's circumference and measure the width of your cuff (put it vertical) on the place that you are going to be taking the blood pressure to be sure that it covers half or slightly more the...

Rights of surrogate parents might be another interesting one.

My ethics project that I am doing for my class is genetic counseling and focusing on the abortion option that mothers are faced with if the results come up as abnormal.

I got the same message after I got home and had been cut off at 85 for the PN test. I felt pretty good after but I hate to think of what they might of thought of my drawings for all of those ordering questions.

Lucky - We can't get below a 84% (B-). Nursing Fundamentals Theory - A (97%) Nursing Fundamentals Lab - A Nursing Fundamentals Practicum (clinical) - A Health Assessment - B+ (Had an A until the dreaded head to toe) All throughout prereqs I had solid...

Cheaper to use the printer ink at school LOL. I had my little netbook with an aftermarket battery that lasts 12 hours to get me through theory. Classrooms don't seem to understand that students need plugs! (My theory class had 1 plug behind the teach...

I am about to have my head to toe tomorrow...56% of my health assessment grade. I understand your nerves PERFECTLY. What HAS helped me get through my nursing fundamentals semester is simply taking things one day at a time. I would get so overly worke...

I WISH we could get as low as a 75% in my nursing program. The program I am in considers anything less than 84% a fail and they will NOT round up. They also don't believe that students should get 100% on anything because "If you get 100%, you should ...

I just got done with my first semester of clinicals. We were in a nursing home and for a majority of our day, we spent doing what would be the CNA's job. I helped move patients, clean them, and sometimes even digitally removed stool. We fed the patie...

LOL I was banned from talking about my day when I mentioned digitally removing my patient's stool...

LOL tomorrow is my last day (and the dreaded head to toe assessment!) of my first semester. Definitely thank god for husbands and grandparents who help us. I wouldn't be able to be a mom of 2 young children, go to nursing school, and maintain my 4.0 ...

My project is on therapeutic communication for my nursing fundamentals course. I have the meat of the presentation all set and ready to go but my write-up needs a bit more attention. I need more facts and quotes to make my grade. I need suggestions o...

Thanks so much for that guide. I wish I read it at the BEGINNING of my nursing fundamentals class rather than at the end!

This made me tear up. I have been studying my Fundamentals book all day...hunting through websites to complete my care plan and read this. THIS is why I bust my butt studying and why EVERYTHING has been put on the back burner for the next year and ha...
