  1. Is it possible to work full-time and be a full-time nursing student?

    2bNurseCai replied to futureRN_'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I worked 40 hrs a week and went to nursing school full time. It was hard and there were times where my work or my school work suffered because of it. However I never pulled in anything less than a B...

  2. Those Kind of Tears That Make Your Throat Burn

    2bNurseCai replied to nursey246's topic in Nurses Rock

    Absolutely beautiful.

  3. Help with cardiac physiology

    2bNurseCai posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Is anyone out there good at explaining how cardiac physiology works; particularly the depolarization/repolarization of the cells and how it correlates to phases 0-4 and what that means in the...

    Oh my goodness, thanks for all of your responses. Now I just have to pore over them all :) *disappears into the

  5. In a Funk!

    2bNurseCai replied to RN-4Ever's topic in General Students

    Me too! I know most of it has to do with working full time along with school; so that when I'm home at night I'm too tired and unmotivated to do much. Plus I find myself getting easily distracted....

  6. Nursing School Bag - Vera Bradley

    2bNurseCai replied to musaafirah's topic in General Students

    I'm sure it hasn't crossed your mind, but did it ever occur to you that there is, in fact, a middle ground? When I say I enjoy looking a bit feminine, I did not mean (or mention for that matter)...

  7. what are some good websites i can use as "sources"

    2bNurseCai replied to jjyiz28's topic in General Students

    That's exactly what I meant; oops!! Clearly can't study and browse here at the same

    2bNurseCai replied to jjyiz28's topic in General Students

    I use the CDC for current guidelines and also NIM for all sorts of information.

  9. Nursing School Bag - Vera Bradley

    2bNurseCai replied to musaafirah's topic in General Students

    I agree! I spend 99% of my life in scrubs between school and work; nothing wrong with wanting to look and feel a little feminine! If someone is going to judge a nurse based on the color of her scrubs...

  10. Case Study question

    2bNurseCai posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    This may seem like a no brainer question, but I feel like either I'm overthinking it or missing something completely, so I am looking for some help. I am doing a cardiac case study and my patient has...

  11. Cardiac/Tele Apps

    2bNurseCai posted a topic in General Students

    Hi all :) I am beginning a med surg clinical rotation on Monday on a Tele floor. Cardiac is not my strong suit and we haven't gone over reading rhythms yet in lecture. Any good apps out there that I...

  12. Cardiac/Tele Apps

    2bNurseCai replied to 2bNurseCai's topic in General Students

    That's so helpful! :) I mean I know there's always going to be the people who are rude and use their phones for personal stuff on the floor, but this technology we have now can be so beneficial to...

  13. Cardiac/Tele Apps

    2bNurseCai replied to 2bNurseCai's topic in General Students

    This is actually the first semester we've been encouraged to use our phones. My clinical this time around is at a small regional facility; maybe they're less upright than big name

  14. Help with Maternity Case Study

    2bNurseCai posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    I have a case study for maternity that I am working on and one of the questions has me a bit stumped. I think I have an idea as to what the answer may be, but I'm looking for some feedback. I have a...

  15. Help with Maternity Case Study

    2bNurseCai replied to 2bNurseCai's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I agree about the methergine; the risks definitely don't outweigh the benefits. As to why she's on it or why she's on so much fluid, the case study doesn't say and doesn't give me the option of...

  16. Nursing journal

    2bNurseCai posted a topic in General Nursing

    As a student nurse looking to keep up with medical news and trends, I'm curious what nurses in the field find to be the best read. I've been looking at AJN and Nursing (Nurses?) 2013 to name a couple....

    Ok, sorry it took me so long to get back to this- working lots of overnights. Thanks to all for your help, it has helped me to put things in perspective. I'm wondering if I didn't give enough info...

    That's ok :) I appreciate you trying to help me. Thank

  20. Help with Maternity Case Study

    2bNurseCai replied to 2bNurseCai's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Kind of. But it also said that her fundus is firm and midline and had no delivery complications. Her baby was 8 lbs 8 oz so the LGA baby makes sense. But with her preeclampsia history, it seems odd...

  21. For Fun--Kudos 2 Me...The "toot your own horn" thread

    2bNurseCai replied to tammy1974's topic in General Students

    Got an 86 on my first Med Surg/ Maternity test! It was wicked hard and I thought I hadn't done well, so this makes me feel like I'm on the right track! Also gave my very first shot and IV push at...

  22. SIM lab left me frazzled and worried

    2bNurseCai replied to heartsgal's topic in General Students

    Don't feel so bad! I had one last week (I'm in my first year) and when my sim patient's O2 sats went down, I panicked and forgot what to do next! Mind drew a total blank! That said, sims are a great...

    2bNurseCai posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I will be graduating from an ADN program next year and I am starting to think about the best way to gain experience to get a nursing job after graduation. I have two ideas in mind and I am looking for...

    This may sound stupid, but what is a nurse

  25. Who were you in high school

    2bNurseCai replied to Dezy's topic in General Students

    I was the theatre geek who wanted to be on Broadway (except I can't sing or dance). I was very smart but got bullied for it in elementary and middle school, so high school was all about boys for me-...
