  1. Asthma Case Study (Peds)

    Zelda21 posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I am working on a case study for my pediatric lab. I won't post the entire case study, because I don't want to share my school's work, or give other student's my answers. I've made it through most of...

  2. Asthma Case Study (Peds)

    Zelda21 replied to Zelda21's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Thanks for helping me! Alright so clear liquid diet because other foods/drinks can increase mucous production, which we don't want. With the Rales could signify a deeper problem in the lungs, with...

  3. Nursing School changing criteria to pass classes

    Zelda21 replied to Reese2012's topic in General Students

    78% average of exam + final to pass. 80 seems a lot, even though its only two points above

  4. Just tired

    Zelda21 posted a topic in General Students

    I'm a junior in a BSN program, halfway through my second semester. I'm just finding how unmotivated I feel. Today was a complete day off from school and work and I just laid in my bed not doing a...

  5. This may be a silly question..

    Zelda21 replied to CRNBSN18's topic in General Students

    I recently did a school nurse rotation and I told her (the school nurse) that it was the first time I actually saw an RN use an otoscope. She used it for every kiddo (I was at an elementary school)...

  6. Care plan & clincal question

    Zelda21 posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'm just curious to know how other schools do their care plans. First off- I have no problem writing my care plans - but my school requires we go in the day before clinical and write down information...

  7. Acid Base Balance

    Zelda21 replied to kellyk21's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I've only seen videos for interpreting ABG levels =/ Do you mean signs and symptoms of each, or causes, or just in general? Resp = lungs / Met = kidneys Acidosis = low pH / Alkalosis = high pH...

  8. Confused about heart sounds? Erb's Point?

    Zelda21 replied to succinate's topic in General Students

    A neat website for heart sounds - The Auscultation Assistant - but this may not answer your question Please someone correct me if any of my information is incorrect ? You auscultate Erbs point at the...

  9. Bio (Anatomy) and Chem Together

    Zelda21 replied to GoodnessFlows's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think that is very doable. Just know that you're working towards a "hard" (time-consuming, lots of effort involved) degree and in most schools you won't be able to split up nursing classes. Focus on...

  10. What was your hardest class and how did you study for it?

    Zelda21 replied to VAgirl247's topic in General Students

    So far my hardest nursing class has been pharmacology. I studied by weeping underneath my desk and flipping through flashcards, lots of flashcards. My learning style and my teacher's teaching style...

  11. Palpations, physical exams on genitals?

    Zelda21 replied to lissart's topic in General Students

    In my assessment class the most we had to show were our breasts. This was done in a closed room, and our instructor actually sat to where she couldn't see our goodies. But my partner had to perform a...

  12. Pharmacology and the NCLEX

    Zelda21 posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    My program has a specific class for pharm (which I passed YAY). Problem is though I don't really feel like I will be able to recall this information. When I spoke with my instructor I asked if she...

  13. Pharmacology and the NCLEX

    Zelda21 replied to Zelda21's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Really?! Thats good to hear. Thank you. Thanks Esme for the drug cards, I've been using them.

  14. Pharmacology and the NCLEX

    Zelda21 replied to Zelda21's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'm 2nd semester. We, too, are required to make drug cards for those that we pass at clinical.

  15. Got to use my neuro skills in real life!

    Zelda21 replied to RunninNurse's topic in General Students

    Thats awesome (unfortunate for the guy) that you got to use some of your skills. One thing though, coming from friends in contact sports, be careful taking off someone's helmet as sometimes the helmet...

  16. Terrrible first day of clincal

    Zelda21 posted a topic in General Students

    Hey there! I had a pretty bad first day of clinical. I am a junior BSN student on an ortho/neruo floor. My pt. was quite difficult (advanced Alzheimer's) but it really came down to I just didn't know...

  17. Terrrible first day of clincal

    Zelda21 replied to Zelda21's topic in General Students

    I was a little bit bored, but what I'm saying is the first day I didn't know that I had to give my pt a bath, or change his/her linen. I don't know what a typically task list for an RN is? The floor...

  18. Are you required to get a flu shot in the nursing program?

    Zelda21 replied to cee cee g's topic in General Students

    The hospitals I do clinical for require it, not so much my

    Hi! I am working on an assignment for my OB class. We are to find the following information for the drugs ambien, demerol, phenergan and a couple more opiods: Stage of labor it is administered Side...

  20. Do you hate when?

    Zelda21 replied to guerrerop22's topic in General Students

    People hear that you are a nursing student and all of a sudden want to show you their gross things. I'm like "ack seriously!". It is kind of cool to hear about things, but I never offer any words. I...

  21. Unappreciative classmates

    Zelda21 posted a topic in General Students

    Today was our final day of classes for a summer course and my teacher decided to host a little review for the final. Some of my classmates complained the entire time ("I don't like the way we're...

  22. First day: MONDAY!!

    Zelda21 replied to eyesopen_mouthshut's topic in General Students

    I think as long as you look nice you'll be fine. I wouldn't want to stand out like a sore thumb, but you've got to maintain your individuality, right? haha Good

  23. Opinion on your uniforms?

    Zelda21 replied to green34's topic in General Students

    I was originally going to one school and their uniforms had white bottoms. I began to DREAD that. So many things can go wrong in white. I understand its supposed to be clean, but eww~ Now the progam I...

  24. Eczema?

    Zelda21 replied to tykesmommy's topic in General Students

    I have psoriasis on my hands that of course only pops up when it is inconvenient. I told my instructors and I just wear gloves. It looks like I'm a germ-a-phobe, but it is better than me risking...

  25. Nursing pre-reqs online? Is it a good idea?

    Zelda21 replied to Nasim95's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took most of my pre-reqs online. I thought it was wonderful because I was able to work a lot (which helps because I am having to cut down in the fall when nursing classes start). I only recommend...
