  1. What is a Rapid Admit Unit?

    SubSippi posted a topic in General Students

    I just received placement for my Senior preceptorship, in a Rapid Admit Unit. I had no clue what that was. I googled it, and got a general idea of what it's for, but I'm still unclear. What is the...

  3. Want to quit nursing school.

    SubSippi replied to dpf112's topic in General Students

    I actually used to be a graphic designer, so I'd like to offer my perspective. Art and design may be a passion of yours, but at the end of the day, graphic design is a desk job like any other....

  4. Can I still get into clinicals?

    SubSippi replied to Kwaters001's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Have you thought about taking a different path to become a nurse, aside from LSU? For instance, moving to a place where someone could help with your daughter, or starting with an LPN program? Some...

  5. Cape Fear Valley - New Grad program

    SubSippi replied to UcStudentNurse's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I'm going on an interview with Cape Fear for the new grad program...I have no idea how many people they called for an interview. I know there aren't a lot of slots open for critical

  6. Advice/critique for a scholarship essay!

    SubSippi posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Hi y'all, long-time lurker, first time poster! This is such a great site, I was hoping that some of y'all could take a look at the essay I wrote for a nursing scholarship, and give me some advice....

  7. Just finished Medsurg... I feel like I don't know anything.

    SubSippi replied to on eagles wings's topic in General Students

    There are lots of good lectures that teachers have recorded and put online, too. I can't remember exactly what they were called, but if I'm confused about something I google it and see what comes up....

  8. Acid-Base Balance

    SubSippi replied to Java Mama's topic in General Students

    This is my pharm teacher's step-by-step method for acid/base. First, list all the lab values, then: 1. Is the pH high, low, or normal? -If it is > 7.4, write a "B" beside it for basic. -If...

  9. Ethical Exam Question

    SubSippi replied to oschaus's topic in General Students

    If I was taking the test, the answer I would have chosen was the ask about the onset of the symptoms one. To me, out of those choices, that answer would be the most important thing to find out when...

  10. SUNY Downstate vs. NYU Accelerated 2012

    SubSippi replied to ccaalee's topic in New York Nursing

    I'm not from NY and don't know anything about the nursing programs there. But something you might want to consider when choosing a school (if both have decent reputations) is where you would like to...

  11. help with careplan from "other realm"

    SubSippi replied to PCU RN's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I had a patient that sounds similar to that...two ND that I remember using were disturbed thought process and risk for social isolation. From what you said, ineffective coping sounds appropriate to...

  12. Advice/critique for a scholarship essay!

    SubSippi replied to SubSippi's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    There has to be grammar errors or something!! I know y'all are busy but any teeny suggestion helps!

  13. Nursing Instructor Issues

    SubSippi replied to cwilliams6's topic in General Students

    I think it's very unprofessional for an instructor to say that to a student, even if you were getting on her nerves. It would be unprofessional for a coworker to say "you're annoying" to another...

  14. Overwhelmed....I feel like giving up!

    SubSippi replied to rnwannabe77's topic in General Students

    I'm a student, and when I'm feeling burnt out, I think about my options if I don't finish school. Which, for me, are pretty much limited to retail and the food service industry. The thought of waiting...

  15. The "Why don't you go to Med School" Question

    SubSippi replied to AL1992's topic in Male Nursing Students

    That question is offensive to both women and nurses, because it assumes that nurses are just wanna-be doctors. And that, as a man, you should have taken the initiative to go to med

  16. Accepted and Looking for Advise!

    SubSippi replied to country73's topic in General Students

    I know this is not advice to prepare you in advance, but a study aid that really helped me in my first Adult Health/Fundamentals class was the Davis series Fundamentals Success. I didn't do quite as...

  17. Nursing student encouragement ideas?

    SubSippi replied to AOx1's topic in General Students

    The person that encourages me the most is the clinical instructor I have right now. I don't think any quote or gift would mean as much as it does when she tells me that I'm going to make a great nurse...
