  1. First Semester, No Life

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

    phuretrotr replied to studentnurseninja's topic in General Students

  6. I'm stuck? Not sure where to go from here!

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

    This is not always true. I go to a private school and my tuition is $550 per credit hour, take that times 17 which is about the average number of credits per semester and you have whooping $9,350 plus...

  7. CNA after Fund. Of Nursing class

    phuretrotr replied to RNstudent13renee's topic in General Students

    I never had to sit for CNA boards. Once I passed Fundamentals, I automatically got a CNA license. Perhaps talk to your instructor and asked, s/he would probably have the most information on your...

  8. What is in your clinical binder?? I'm having difficulty organizing it

    phuretrotr replied to JMJ523's topic in General Students

    For the nursing assessments, I am sure you can fit that onto one page. For cardiac meds, are you talking all the meds you could possibly give on a cardiac floor, or just your specific patient...

  9. Human Cadavers

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

    WHAT?! So many students without cadavers!!! Our school has 4, granted it's a private school, but it helped me learn so much! One of the things I remember most was our professor showing us the...

  10. Need exam/studying tips. Im failing my med surg class.

    phuretrotr replied to Piggyrabbit's topic in General Students

    I'm probably not the best to ask because every semester I switch things up a bit but one thing I see in your post is that you are trying to memorize things. If there's one thing I have learned in...

  11. I'm not going to lie...

    phuretrotr replied to StudentOfHealing's topic in General Students

    If one wasn't better than the other, then there would be no need to further your education from an ADN to a BSN; all programs would be called one or the other. It is better but that doesn't mean...

  12. hey every one i need help with my care plan

    phuretrotr replied to lizbank's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I think you are on the right track but I just want to point out two things. 1) You can't have a medical diagnosis as your nursing diagnosis. For the Anxiety one, I would put Risk for Ineffective...

  13. Jealous much?

    phuretrotr replied to jakefromstatefarm's topic in General Students

    I'm all for the smarties in my class not telling me what they got because I sure am not one and I would be jealous, haha. BUT! If you do always obtain high grades, do not go around asking what other...

  14. Almost passed out during clinicals!!

    phuretrotr replied to fm1089's topic in General Students

    I didn't read all the responses but from my short experience, it may not even be all the blood and gore you think it is. If you are wearing a mask, that may be the problem. I almost passed out on two...

  15. Have you had a bad experience during nursing program ?

    phuretrotr replied to Devon Rex's topic in General Students

    I mean anyone that has more authority than you. If you're so quick to say, just because you are frightened of the authority figure (clinical instructor), then what makes a person think that you...

  16. Have you had a bad experience during nursing program ?

    phuretrotr replied to Devon Rex's topic in General Students

    Curious. Are you that way with doctor's

  17. How to teach self dosage calculations

    phuretrotr replied to AmandaM2013's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Our program uses Calculated Drug Dosages by Castillo. It comes with a CD and work book. Mind you, it isn't the latest and greatest technology and has a few errors, at least on my edition. However, it...

  18. evaluation....

    phuretrotr replied to fitore's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I think a better way to word your nursing diagnosis would be, "(Risk for) Inadequate tissue perfusion". In order to more adequately supply the tissue/cerebrum with oxygen, what should you do? For...

  19. Obamacare

    phuretrotr replied to Topher53's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    This. Not ObamaCare. More specifically The Patient Protection and Affordable Care

  20. Do you recommend I take these classes together or should I hold off?

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

    I would say take them together. Advisor's usually are against taking them together, just to be on the safe side, but for my curriculum, it was designed so we had to take them together, plus 3 others...

  21. What are the most comfortable nursing shoes... for big foot?

    phuretrotr replied to NursieSD's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I have keds. It takes some searching to find the one's that don't have mesh, because they have a lot of styles. But mine are all leather, no holes/mesh. Keds only goes up to size 11 in women's, but a...

  22. Is crosswalk/ traffic safety an appropriate Community Health rotation?

    phuretrotr replied to not_batman's topic in General Students

    I think this would be a great 2 day assignment, but I doubt you nor the children want to learn how to put on a helmet and look both ways for 4-5 weeks. However, throughout my program we have various...

  23. Starting to panic

    phuretrotr replied to brandonw's topic in General Students

    Keep it together until the first day! haha But really, I think everyone has those jitters right before they start. But once you're in class that first day and trembling in your shoes, that feeling...

    phuretrotr replied to Cora Jean's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Well a case study is usually used to help people problem solve and try to figure out different things from the information given, such as nursing diagnosis, lab value deviations, ect. Since you are...

  25. Do you recommend I take these classes together or should I hold off?

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

    If the school allows you to take both biology courses together, and one is not a pre-requisite to the other, then I would say go for it. Such a circumstance is if you needed to take A&P II and...
