  1. We're not here for that

    Nolli replied to happynurse49's topic in General Students

    I think the key is respect. While I found working in the capacity of a CNA for a stint during schooling very helpful it didn't change my attitude towards anyone. I always respected everyone. CNAs,...

  2. Please help me :(

    Nolli replied to rosemary_petals's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    You are heading in the right direction, but I would reformat the Dx. Look back at what you noticed. You stated that the child was anxious and overwhlemed. What psychosocial diagnoses do you see...

  3. It's hard losing classmates...

    Nolli replied to SopranoKris's topic in General Students

    I have seen numerous people fail. It sucks. All of them failed high percentage exams and were removed after failing two courses. Two tried so hard, but just couldn't make the grades the third lost...

  4. over it

    Nolli replied to Wrangler156's topic in General Students

    You are not alone. I have been cranky and neglecting my SO too. You need a day of pampering; as my professor said you can't get away with the manis, but never ever give up the pedis. You are so close,...

  5. Getting "points back" on a test

    Nolli replied to adnstudent44's topic in General Students

    Ours uses statistical analysis. Sometimes they will give points back anyway for some questions because they thought it was unclear etc. I don't mind so long as it doesn't take away from what I...

  6. Failed Second Fundamentals Test

    Nolli replied to cate3624's topic in General Students

    Our Nursing school has test taking help that breaks down the questions. Each nursing class has its own sessions. I'm not sure if your school offers something like it, but sometimes knowing the...

  7. Having a hard time with delegation

    Nolli posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Ok so I've been getting better at it, but I'm still having a hard time with delegation. I get that I cannot delegate unstable patients, unpredictable outcomes, admissions/discharges, teaching,...

  8. Having a hard time with delegation

    Nolli replied to Nolli's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Thank you! I've been looking at it from the perspective of what each person can do vs what to not delegate and thus can eliminate. I thought maybe there was some list that dictated everything. I also...

  9. I need to pass hesi "this" time help!!

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

    I use ATI. It gives instant feedback and rationales and the style of questions and presentation is dead on for HESI. I also use the evolve HESI RN case studies and practice tests. The case studies...

  10. Things you'd love to tell a fellow nursing student or faculty.....

    Nolli replied to ixchel's topic in General Students

    Some students: I wish you would take this more seriously. Please don't complain about the grade you got when you started the project last night. Telling others who studied really hard that its ok...

  11. How much "dirty work" have you encountered in nursing school

    Nolli replied to dulcet's topic in General Students

    There was and still is a lot of butt wiping, ostomy bag changes and assessments, wound assessment and care, emptying of bags/drains containing various bodily fluids. But, it is far more awkward for...

  12. Had to quit nursing school during my 1st semester due to illness...I am broken hearte

    Nolli replied to toonsis's topic in General Students

    Some ideas as far as the debt goes. If it is due to school and its federal talk to them and get setup for IBR(income based repayment). If it is due to medical bills call them and hammer out a payment...

  13. What do you do when you want to quit?

    Nolli replied to Nuked's topic in General Students

    I reflect. What are all the good experiences and warm fuzzy feelings that you've had as a result of choosing nursing as a career? What do you love about it? Stay focused on that and seek out the good...

  14. Clinical Instructor Dilemma

    Nolli replied to Katbird2014_RN's topic in General Students

    We had something similar happen in one of my clinicals. Both the clinical groups had to report it for something to be done, but it was addressed and got better(for a little while anyway). The nurses...

  15. Failed my Maternity test

    Nolli replied to Msbarelymakingit's topic in General Students

    I go off of the professor and the material. Some professors like going off the notes while others have forced me to remember multiple small details in the readings of our text. Ultimately though you...

  16. Number One Pet Peeve in Nursing School: Future "Paycheck Nurses"

    Nolli replied to joshmiller2010's topic in General Students

    Ok so I see two sides to this. I'm a convert to nursing and it took me a long time to find my way. That said I was looking for something that paid the bills and also helped people and had more...

  17. How to chart I&Os

    Nolli replied to RNstudent13renee's topic in General Students

    I&O is important because it can give us an idea of fluid status and kidney function. Kidneys should produce no less than 30 mL/hr. If you have less than that the alarm bells should be going off....

  18. Feeling down and out about Nursing school

    Nolli replied to angelhearty15's topic in General Students

    I had problems adjusting at first to the type of questions being asked. I'm not sure if your school has it, but ours has test taking sessions where we go through NCLEX style questions as a group on...

  19. Is Anatomy and Physiology 2 harder or easier than A&P 1?

    Nolli replied to Dezi919's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I personally liked A&P II better. It was still a bunch of memorization, but not as much as in A&P I. My instructor actually wrote on the board and he could only write as fast as the rest of us...

  20. NERVES

    Nolli replied to Nurse2Bstacy123's topic in General Students

    1) Don't panic! Breathe and remember that you are doing the best you can. 2) Space your studying out (over days, not just hours) and if you get to the point where it just wont sink in anymore go and...

  21. Taken for granted by nurses...

    Nolli replied to PD82's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    Oh my gosh it almost sounds like you are in my old unit as it was locked and was a women's health unit and no unit secretary in sight so I had to do both jobs, but if you have 17 beds I know it's not....

  22. Beginning of last semester!!!

    Nolli replied to Shandra2008's topic in General Students

    I'm right behind you, I graduate in June! Keep on trucking; we're almost

  23. Commute to school.

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

    30 min train ride plus a 15 min walk so 45 min. Train ride is nice I can catch up with reading and I don't have to deal with rush hour traffic. However, the having to work around their schedule kind...

  24. Scared to go into nursing.

    Nolli replied to cascadingbeauty's topic in General Students

    Follow your heart. What you can do to get an idea is volunteer at a school tutoring kids and see if you can you are able to shadow a nurse. Talk to current nurses and teachers in different...

  25. Can't get federal aid, best private loans?

    Nolli replied to Wrestler133's topic in General Students

    I would first ask your school if they have a preferred lender list and see who is on it and if the terms are good. Preferred lenders usually work with the school more often and the loan process tends...
