  1. Care Plan Hell

    Nolli replied to Nolli's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I do not have Saunders we have Pharmacology for Nursing Care 7th Ed, but I will look at it and I'll check out Davis's as well. Thank you! Edit: Also I'll try to abbreviate stuff and focus more on the...

  2. Refusing a Clinical assignment

    Nolli replied to SheldonCooperPHD's topic in General Students

    As far as I know I can't refuse an assignment unless it is a safety issue for myself or the patient etc. Not sure but wouldn't refusing to treat or take care of someone get you in trouble with breach...

  3. sleep

    Nolli replied to JonB04's topic in General Students

    Sleep depends on what is going on like tests or HESI or both and then how far my clinical site is from me. Average is 5-6 hours on early days and maybe 4 on super early days. As far as picking my...

  4. Quit job during RN school??

    Nolli replied to Jmira.BSN.RN's topic in General Students

    Normally I'd say try to stay and deal with the higher ups, but it sounds like they are ignoring you. If you like the job then your best bet is to go through HR since they are not following their own...

  5. Help a Senior out :3

    Nolli replied to mrjspham's topic in Male Nursing Students

    As a female who has had male nurses take care of me in the past I don't mind at all. Heck I had a male tech do a stress echo on me and he was awesome. On the other side of the coin when I did my OB...

  6. I'm done! I'm out!

    Nolli replied to white8tiger6's topic in General Students

    I have a guy in my class that hates cleaning older people and I gave him the same advice I'll give you; work your way through the basics and serve your time, but move to an area where that is not a...

  7. I'm going to throw up...

    Nolli replied to KJoRN81's topic in General Students

    As someone who just finished my first clinical let me reassure you that it is not all that bad. Like previous posters said slow down, breathe, and take time to smell those roses. Most of what we did...

  8. "Too many" nursing programs?

    Nolli replied to ErinRN2B's topic in General Students

    I go to a private for profit 4 year school. I ended up going here because I wanted to go to nursing school and get a BSN out of it because in my area a lot of the hospitals won't even look at you...

  9. Changing ear piece for Stethoscope.

    Nolli replied to tammy_zeidan09's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    You shouldn't have to cut anything. The newer Littmans (1994 and on) are all snap off/on tips. You had to put some force behind it to get the tips on or off but there is no cutting

  10. Working at a daycare good start for Nursing?

    Nolli replied to Loveismagical's topic in General Students

    It is better than nothing and you could always pick up a few volunteer hours at a hospital. It's a good start esp if you are trying to go into peds. That said I'm with everyone else that posted in the...

  11. ITT Tech?

    Nolli replied to MA_Davis's topic in School, College Programs

    I've seen the ads on tv and I've done the transfer dance for myself and assisted someone else in doing so. Both times the colleges and universities made no promises and said they could only evaluate...

  12. Changing ear piece for Stethoscope.

    Nolli replied to tammy_zeidan09's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    My Littmann came with both hard and soft eartips so I can't say I've had that problem (might be bc I got a Classic II), but I do know that places sell just the eartips. For reference here are both...

  13. How important is Chemistry in the long run?

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

    Honestly Acids and Bases are the thing you'll see the most. They will come up in A&P, Pharm, you will see them in your clinical nursing courses. Understanding diffusion, pressure, etc is a lot of...

  14. Shoes for nursing school, any recommendations???

    Nolli replied to ksogliero's topic in General Students

    I have New Balance 928s. They have a slightly wider toebox and the guys at the store said some nurses said they looked ugly for that reason. I told the guy that if it'll save my feet knees and back I...

  15. Private Student Loans...

    Nolli replied to pat8585's topic in General Students

    You can go through individual credit unions, banks, or use a comparison site. I did all three for my student loans and surprisingly the comparison site worked better(not saying it will 100% of the...

  16. Which route do I take? ADN vs BSN

    Nolli replied to Zelda21's topic in General Students

    It's really up to you and what job you think you want coming out of school. It is harder to get a job in some areas as an ADN and a lot of the hospitals in our area (Magnet status ones) want BSNs and...

  17. Quick survey for group project

    Nolli posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This is a quick survey on Lateral Violence in Nursing for a group project. http://edu.surveygizmo.com/s3/892982/Nursing-Student-Survey While not an official research study (ie I can't publish outside...

  18. Help test taking skills

    Nolli replied to avinator's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    1)Take your time and fully read the question Break it down into components and see what it is really asking; ex if it asks what the nurse should do for someone should is one of the key words and...

  19. Anyone Taking Pathophysiology This Summer?

    Nolli replied to DarkLotus's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I too am taking Pathophysiology over the summer. All of my Nursing books are in ebook form through evolve/elsevier. I don't get an assigned book till the class starts, but I technically already have...

  20. Clinical Capstone failure?

    Nolli replied to patientlywaiting's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I know we're not at the point where we turn in paperwork 100% of the time for our clinical, but is there any chance you kept a copy of any evals or the work that you've done? If so that could be your...

  21. Quick survey for group project

    Nolli replied to Nolli's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Thanks again

  22. Petrified I will fail out!

    Nolli replied to tammy_zeidan09's topic in General Students

    Sounds like a case of the "what ifs?" I have them too and the best advice I received was to make plans as if I was going to pass everything and take it one day at a time. This meant I still had to do...

  23. Did you learn IV in NS?!

    Nolli replied to tammy_zeidan09's topic in General Students

    My school does not teach it either, but I feel that it is something worth knowing. While techs or IV teams often seem ubiquitous these days in my experience IV teams were only called in for the...

  24. Things you would love to say to your fellow nursing students!

    Nolli replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    1) Ignoring emails is rude when you spend over 2/3 of your day on your iphone or facebook and can see it pop up. It is also ironic when you expect me to respond instantly when you waited until the...

  25. I've probably just lost it all....

    Nolli replied to Nolander's topic in General Students

    If everyone who ever got a C in one of their courses dropped there would be a heck of a lot of empty seats in my class. Getting a C in one course sucks especially coming from an A average. Sometimes...
