    phuretrotr replied to mcbtny9's topic in General Students

    Also, I use one binder per class. That way, I don't forget anything if I get mixed

  2. Organizing Class Work, Handouts, and Binders

    phuretrotr replied to mcbtny9's topic in General Students

    I do almost exactly this as well... It's as if you are me... The only things I do differently are instead of having dividers for every week, I have the dividers for each test in each binder. Usually...

  3. Is shadowing a requirement?

    phuretrotr replied to VitruvianMan's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Don1984 may be correct in that you don't have to shadow as I'm not completely sure, but some schools may list shadowing a nurse as a requirement or a recommended thing you do to have a better chance...

  4. GI Surgery Clinical??

    phuretrotr replied to carlyc93's topic in General Students

    I spent half a semester on a GI floor and it wasn't too bad. Actually, probably the most laid back floor, patients and nurse wise (the nurses were very kind), I have had yet in clinical. You say it is...

  5. Psych Mental Health Exams

    phuretrotr replied to AmandaJoseph's topic in General Students

    Well since you have it tomorrow, there is not much I can tell you that would help you. If you studied adequately for it and know the information, I don't think you will have a problem passing,...

  6. CNA-ADN-BSN

    phuretrotr replied to MaxwellHolmes's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In addition to the previous poster's responses, having a CNA license and experience may help you further your education to a ADN or BSN degree. You can add that information in your applications and it...

  7. Ethical Debate.....please help : (

    phuretrotr replied to bloves5's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Minus the CPR patient, wouldn't the asthma kid come before the breathing elderly lady? Just wondering since asthma is technically Airway because of the constriction of the bronchioles, wouldn't that...

  8. How hard is nursing school for the student who is average or below at math & science?

    phuretrotr replied to kelkel587's topic in General Students

    Just because you did not do well or are not naturally gifted does not mean you can't do it. I actually dropped my Chemistry course my last semester of my senior year or else it would have a been an F....

  9. Students who have the summer off: Do you study anything or brush up on past material?

  11. nursing exams

    phuretrotr replied to LOLA184's topic in General Students

    Yes, don't use that eraser. If you think an answer is what you think it is, leave it at that. Plus it feels worse when you erase it and then it was the right answer than if you just plain got it...

  12. The fear of the unknown

    phuretrotr replied to MommaTy's topic in General Students

    If you're only asking about the first semester, the real answer is, to relax. I'm in a 4-year BSN program so I don't know if the schedule is the same for an ADN program but for me, the nursing class...

  13. Help with Care Plan - Nursing Diangnosis Priority

    phuretrotr replied to LaurenG89's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    To put it bluntly, what will kill her? Those will always be priority. They may not have anything to do with ABC's, but some of the ND you listed have a potential to cause serious complications and/or...

  14. Nursing- Not an allied health profession.

    phuretrotr replied to StudentOfHealing's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Isn't that the beauty of nursing? That it is so broad that you can do so many different things. Sure, you aren't on top of the food chain, but that doesn't make it any less of a profession. The...

  15. Lpn vs Rn

    phuretrotr replied to 2bNurseMustang's topic in General Students

    Yes. AN needs a whole thread topic forum for ranting. Then the negatives can go in one pile and the positives in another. That way future nurses won't think that the profession is full of drama...

  16. More eek over titers/vax

    phuretrotr replied to allycat77's topic in General Students

    I came across a similar situation in which I HAD had the vaccination series but for some reason showed up as I was negative for the immunization. I began my series and was also allowed to start...

  17. I might fail A&P 1, I'm really ashamed. What should I do?

    phuretrotr replied to NenaRK's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What might help is knowing how you learn best. Do you learn by reading, writing, seeing, hearing, doing, ect.? For A&P, it was very helpful to me to see pictures and models of the different organs...

  19. MS versus DNP

    phuretrotr posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    So, just to give a background on what I know (or what I think I know); here it goes... Some CRNA programs I have been looking at are programs where the CRNA student gets a Master's degree when they...

  22. Department Wars

    phuretrotr replied to mstearns09's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    But to stop the department war and not retaliate, I would talk to a nurse/nurse supervisor about the incidences and see if they can communicate the misunderstandings of duties of the housekeepers to...

  24. Quick Rant.... (sorry in advance)

    phuretrotr replied to gathrightRN2b's topic in General Students

    If you do evaluations at the end of the semester, write that down. They are anonymous evaluations so you can write your heart out on your feelings about this. Other people in your class who got it...

    phuretrotr replied to menamela1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It is semi-important to not very important depending on where you want to get a job. It could be important if you go to a prestigious school that the surround hospitals know of by name and know they...
