  1. Avoiding patients hitting on you

    Nolli replied to Kitkat1212's topic in General Students

    Most of my patients have been well-behaved in that respect. However, I've had a few that made comments and had inappropriate behavior like grabbing my hand and kissing it. When someone does that I...

  2. Hand Held Device Requirement for Clinical

    Nolli replied to tbbtpeach's topic in General Students

    Our program issued ipod touches for awhile. Now it's whatever handheld device that supports the software. Apple is the predominant choice with iphones being the main device in use. Whatever you choose...

  3. I thought I knew, but I had NO idea

    Nolli replied to CareQueen's topic in General Students

    Like many people said its the stuff that's between your ears that counts. The fact that you know you are having a hard time with it and working hard to fix the problems you do have, speaks both of...

  4. Mneumonics/Ideas For Learning Material

    Nolli replied to karlazz83's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    30 monkeys laughed at 1 old zebra (30 ml = 1 oz) If you eat 2 turkeys you'll need 6 tums (2 Tbsp = 6 tsp) longer, longer, longer, block now you've got a Wenckebach (lengthening PR followed by a...

  5. Nursing student insurance options

    Nolli replied to jcw702's topic in General Students

    Depends, if you are under 26 you could be covered under your parents since they extended the amount of time you can be covered with ACA. That goes up to 31 if your insurance carrier is from NJ because...

  6. Problem with HESI (Paramedic to RN Mobility Program)

    Nolli replied to mbward's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    I had a hard time at first with these, but since I encountered them on my first semester all the way through the program I adapted over time. You are not alone in thinking that they are very hard. How...

  7. Nursing school with MS

    Nolli replied to NurseArb's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    My mother has MS and I have an autoimmune disease as well. She ended up telling a very few select people in her company to arrange for her to take time off when she had massive flares and they have...

  8. I'm about to get a loan but have a question...

    Nolli replied to NurseSN45696's topic in General Students

    I compared multiple companies before applying for my private loans. I also asked if my school had preferred providers. It is not always the case, but for my school one of the preferred providers...

  9. L&D NA/PCA What do I need to know?

    Nolli posted a topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    Got a job for a L&D unit and I'm both nervous and excited because I'm so far going to be the only one on the unit at this time. They wanted to explore what a NA or tech could do for the unit. I...

  10. Should I take anatomy II over the summer?

    Nolli replied to mozer92's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Depends on how confident you feel about the material you took prior. You could potentially try it and if it doesn't go as planned you could always drop the course and take a W, but most people don't...

  11. Med surg II

    Nolli replied to cntwocute's topic in General Students

    You had me up until test bank. We don't do those and frankly you shouldn't either. Test banks are cheating. Every single school has some sort of academic honesty policy. You get yourself caught...

  12. pediatrics's unit

    Nolli replied to amazinga921's topic in General Students

    Two words: nurse externship. A lot of the hospitals have summer programs called nurse externships. What does a nurse extern do? Like an internship externs are paid to work for a short pre-defined...

  13. Paramedic to nurse/nursing student

    Nolli replied to Jayjormom's topic in General Students

    Every job does, but I too moved out of EMS because I realized that I was soo much happier in the hospital than I was out on the street. I do miss some aspects of it (drama not included), but...

  14. Pitocin Calculation

    Nolli replied to 2016New's topic in General Students

    I'd be happy to help, but why don't you show me what you have so far so we can see where it goes wrong? Hint: Eliminate distractors from the question first and make sure you know all the conversion...

  15. Pharm Studying

    Nolli replied to nursinggirl11's topic in General Students

    I'm not a huge fan of flashcards in the traditional cut them out and flip them over sense, but music made some awesome ones which I read through on the PC and helped me through my program. They are...

  16. Paramedic to nurse/nursing student

    Nolli replied to Jayjormom's topic in General Students

    This kind of came out of left field and I'm not sure where you are going with this. Other than it being a RN program and having Paramedics involved I don't see anything in common with the thread, let...

  17. Med-Surg & Pharm

    Nolli replied to 2016New's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    That's a real shame. I appreciate the benefits of being able to help one's self as well, but sometimes people need a helping hand. Does your school offer tutoring by students farther along in the...

  18. Med-Surg & Pharm

    Nolli replied to 2016New's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Oh you have one of those professors who like to pull the specific question from page 405 in your textbook. I had one of those for pharm. The only way I passed her class was because her notes/lectures...

  19. Nail and skin care

    Nolli replied to Mandy110609's topic in General Students

    Yes, the oatmeal one aka 24 hr moisturizer. If your skin is cracked try the blue cap one. I tend to get dry cracked skin on the elbows and it works wonders, but my favorite is still the green one....

  20. Paramedic to nurse/nursing student

    Nolli replied to Jayjormom's topic in General Students

    I was a medic and am currently graduating. It will most definitely help you with a lot of things. Some examples include critical care as well as certain portions of med-surg such as cardiac and...

  21. Rheumatoid Arthritis

    Nolli replied to h113's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    I'm 28, I started having problems with my joints when I was 22 and it is a loss I still struggle with. I hear you when you say you don't feel like being disabled at such a young age. I don't know if...

  22. Dealing with Sjogren's and Reynauds

    Nolli posted a topic in Nurse Disabilities

    I don't know if this is the right place for this, but I figured it was the best bet. A bit of background: I'm in my 20s and I've been diagnosed and misdiagnosed with various autoimmune diseases...

  23. Any other BSN students thinking about applying to NP school?

    Nolli replied to nursing_student93's topic in General Students

    I've thought about it and I think it's something I eventually want to do. However, most of the programs in my area will not accept someone without 2 years of ICU or ER experience. The NPs that did...

  24. Most terrifying thing?

    Nolli replied to cracklingkraken's topic in General Students

    Ouch. We get another crack at the course if we still bomb it after remediation, but it can tank the GPA. Skill Checkoffs and the high-stakes HESIs are scary in our program. Thing is they aren't...

  25. Nudity in healthcare classes education or violation?

    Nolli replied to Alnitak7's topic in General Students

    We had a portion that required us to strip to underwear when learning assessment. However, we were notified in advance, encouraged to wear bike shorts and a sports bra, paired with a same sex partner,...
