  1. Easier?

    Nolli replied to Nolli's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Update; I rocked the pharm final and the HESI 104 and 98.69 respectively. Thank you for your support

  2. How Do You Get Motivated?

    Nolli replied to Stephalump's topic in General Students

    Graduation... the end goal. I also find a game I want to play, show I want to watch or a small treat (can be either food or non-food, but is never super expensive) and I set small study goals I want...

  3. overwhemled with Medsurg 3rd semester

    Nolli replied to Sidnetra23's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Time management is the real kicker with that class combo; I know because I'm on the tail end of what you're starting. Don't try to take on the material in 3 chapter chunks unless they are related and...

  4. Easier?

    Nolli replied to Nolli's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Thanks, I feel better knowing that I won't be responsible for trying to cram it all in my head. I'm pretty good at being an encyclopedia in regards to science and fundamentals/med surg nursing trivia,...

  5. There is always one..

    Nolli replied to wbrown06's topic in General Students

    That sounds like me except for the part where she shares them. I just have the little light bulb in my head go off constantly and I think, "oh wow so that's why that happened." Every once in awhile...

  6. In Over My Head?

    Nolli replied to .Jasper.'s topic in General Students

    As my clinical instructor put it nursing school is crazy. You feel overwhelmed like you can't digest the material and you feel that if you only had enough time you'd understand everything so much...

  7. Student Needs Surgery

    Nolli replied to Gaelros's topic in General Students

    When you get on a plane they do the safety briefing and tell you about floating cushions and oxygen masks. They specifically say to put on you own before helping someone else with theirs. Pain is your...

  8. Not willing to do the dirty work?

    Nolli replied to stratus93's topic in General Students

    Wow I wonder how they treat their CNAs. Our first clinical ever our clinical instructor and our lecture one both instilled in us that we are not above anyone in terms of giving respect and that poo...

  9. Another slightly silly question re: supplies

    Nolli replied to RainbowDash's topic in General Students

    Go for it. It is what makes you happy and we're allowed to indulge ourselves no matter our age. I'm 26 and I have bright purple shoes I wear to class. My socks are also *ahem* unique. I don't wear...

  10. Care plan books

    Nolli replied to dmapp63's topic in General Students

    I've been using the 7th ed version of Nursing Care Plans: Diagnoses, Interventions, and Outcomes. It's by Meg Gulanick and Judith Myers. It is not a 100% complete book of nursing diagnoses as it...

  11. Do you read the entire book?

    Nolli replied to Tonks57's topic in General Students

    No, if I did that I would flunk the exams. I read what is relevant to what we are covering in class if it matches up. Sometimes the book contradicts and other times the professor doesn't use the book...

  12. The Nursing Process

    Nolli replied to LCinTraining's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    It does take some getting used to, but Abigail is correct. ADPIE will stick with you for a long time. The problem I have seen most people struggle with is getting used to the nursing diagnosis. It is...

  13. Worried about my nursing supplies!?

    Nolli replied to Randi156's topic in General Students

    Ignore them. I usually avoid contact with such people and when unavoidable be polite and give them common courtesy, but nothing else. A BP cuff and a stethoscope are pretty standard stuff and do not a...

  14. Wet Hair Don't Care?

    Nolli replied to 2BRN123's topic in General Students

    ditto what CT Pixie said. If you have it up in a bun it is perfectly fine, but down and damp doesn't go over well. You'll want it up for clinical anyway so no issue

  15. Pageburst?

    Nolli replied to wannabe an rn's topic in General Students

    We have all of our nursing books through pageburst. We are not forced to do so, but it costs us way more in the long run since if they update the textbook or come out with a new one ours gives us the...

  16. Support the Student Loan Forgiveness Act of 2012

    Nolli replied to cali_nature_girl's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Sorry, I don't agree with it in its entirety. I went to community for pre-reqs to keep myself out of debt and when I took out my loans for my BSN I promised I'd pay them back. Does the amount of debt...

  17. When does hypoglycemia usually occur?

    Nolli replied to nurse2b013's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I wasn't trying to be mean or anything I was trying to spare you trying to look it up further and try to get you to think the question through so you understand it. I get that you want to understand...

  18. When does hypoglycemia usually occur?

    Nolli replied to nurse2b013's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    There isn't going to be an answer you can look up unless it is in the back of the book since it is for the most part application and not a simple fact. Think about the effect of regular insulin on the...

  19. Any advice?

    Nolli replied to 1futurenurse12's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Everyone is different so I can't say watch out for this class it's so hard because what was easy for me was not easy for my classmates and vice versa. That said I'm sure you'll do fine if you were an...

  20. Student Nurse with SLE

    Nolli replied to Nikkioli's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I usually don't say anything unless I have issues or need accommodations but I have sjogren's syndrome and reynauds. Most of my professors don't know it and should I find my hands go back to being...

  21. Disappointed in clinical rotation. :(

    Nolli replied to afterseason's topic in General Students

    I know you are bummed, but consider that for our first clinical we were not able to do much and many of my classmates ended up in similar rehab centers. We were just answering call bells helping with...

  22. Good study method or too OCD?

    Nolli replied to CRNBSN18's topic in General Students

    Everyone is different. Do what ultimately works for you and for that specific class. Personally I take good notes in class and add them to the powerpoints with asterisks or bulleted points on key...

  23. Can you guys give me an example of a day in the life of a nursing student?

    Nolli replied to patriotprincess's topic in General Students

    I'm at the tail end of my 1st year and the schedule was nicer at the beginning than it is now even though I had more days of class and clinical. These days every monday and friday its get up at 0720...

  24. Care Plan Hell

    Nolli posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    i've gotten through the first 2 pages of my very first care plan and thought it wasn't so bad. now i'm on pharm and i'm stuck and i have a feeling it is going to get worse when i get to the lab value...

  25. HESI Every SINGLE Semester?

    Nolli replied to EarthhAngel2013's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    We also have HESIs every semester. We have a HESI on the same day as the class final for each nursing subject. They account for about 15% of your grade and we all study the entire semesters worth of...
