  1. Which diagnosis nursing most important

    christina731 replied to adel5991's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Well according to Maslow's I would say risk for malnourishment is important. But from a safety standpoint I would say risk for infection. It's hard to just pick one without more

  2. Which diagnosis nursing most important

    christina731 replied to adel5991's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Well it really depends on your assessment data. Acute pain could be related to an MI or a sprained ankle. What evidence do you have for these

  4. CSN Biol 223 and Biol 251

    christina731 replied to katyc123's topic in Nevada Nursing

    There's no reason not to apply! I started in the Spring of '13 and I know people that were taking 224 and/or 251 in the Fall before and they were accepted. You should apply once you have your pre...

    christina731 replied to katyc123's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I feel the same way :) at least you have kids to keep you busy, I just have my boring job! 3rd semester was ok, not my favorite. It is L&D and peds but I'm not a fan of pregnant women or sick...

  6. CSN Biol 223 and Biol 251

    christina731 replied to katyc123's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Yikes! I can't imagine both labs being in one day. That's definitely something to avoid. I agree that micro was easier than A&P. When I took them together, I had both lectures on Tues/Thurs with a...

  7. BON approval and accreditation

    christina731 replied to aeris99's topic in General Students

    I would withdraw and apply to other programs. A 52% pass rate is not good. Who knows if they will be able to bring it up by the time you finish? Your diploma can become a useless expensive piece of...

  8. Best approach to nursing school

    christina731 replied to andrew.brenner's topic in General Students

    Also, if your actual name is what your user name is, I would recommend changing it to something less identifiable. Nursing is a small world and this is an anonymous site

  9. Best approach to nursing school

    christina731 replied to andrew.brenner's topic in General Students

    Unless you have already completed your prerequisites, most 2 year programs are not 2 years. These prerequisites can take 2 years or longer to complete depending on how competitive it is, then you...

  11. Uniform Inspection

    christina731 replied to saraCOS's topic in General Students

    This is the best advice! Try to fly low on the radar, or better yet stand out with awesome skills or being smart. Not being a smart a-- trying to bend the

  12. CSN Biol 223 and Biol 251

    christina731 replied to katyc123's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I took those classes together, along with psy 101 and worked full time on top of it. I did nothing to prepare the summer before and managed to have like a 3.5 GPA that semester and I'm no genius, just...

  13. Help studying for exams for classes

    christina731 replied to jarnoldpcpro's topic in General Students

    Here's how I usually find the answer to NCLEX style questions: First, READ the question AND the answers. You can generally eliminate 2 of the answers right off the bat because they don't make sense....

  14. Summer Class Questions

    christina731 replied to boipoka72's topic in General Students

    Sorry, I meant work outside of school. The OP stated that they will not be working. I didn't mean no work as in no school

  15. Uniform Inspection

    christina731 replied to saraCOS's topic in General Students

    I agree. I would much rather bend over in front of an old lady than my cute fundamentals instructor! Haha :) To the OP: just an FYI - skin colored undies are much better under whites than white undies...

  16. Uniform Inspection

    christina731 replied to saraCOS's topic in General Students

    Just curious, are men in your program made to wear caps? I actually think it's kinda cool to wear the caps but I can't imagine that happening in my program. We have about 30 men in my group of about...

  17. Summer Class Questions

    christina731 replied to boipoka72's topic in General Students

    I took four classes one summer while working full time. They were US History, NV History, Medical Math and Communications. Each were 3 credits each and I had a 3.5 GPA that semester but I had to get...

  18. PVT?

    christina731 replied to marvelmom's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I think it's definitely worth it to pay for the quick results. I'm always nuts about exam grades and I'm sure I will be 1000x more nutty when it comes to NCLEX. I just can't trust

  19. Did anybody buy a nursing mannikin to practice skills at home?

    christina731 replied to strawberryluv's topic in General Students

    That is totally nightmare fuel!! Although the ones we have at school are creepy, they aren't that bad. Holy moly I would be scared to death if I walked into lab at school and saw

  20. Do you think Nurses will be replaced by technology one day?

    christina731 replied to giraffe4's topic in General Students

    I agree. This is what I worry about nursing. It seems as though UAP 's are taking over many of our

  21. Stethoscope

    christina731 replied to janurse1990's topic in General Students

    It's not necessary to have a Littman cardio when you work in a hospital. It's important to have something that you can hear

  22. CSN RN Fall 2014

    christina731 replied to normitac86's topic in Nevada Nursing

    CSN is pretty adamant with their opinion about not working but some people have to otherwise their home wouldn't function. I can't really say how many hours I spend studying each week, since every...

  23. CSN RN Fall 2014

    christina731 replied to normitac86's topic in Nevada Nursing

    No, you don't go to the hospital until 2nd semester. First semester is 3 weeks of alternative clinical experience (ACE) which is on campus in the labs, then 4 weeks of long term care, then 6 weeks of...

  24. CSN RN Fall 2014

    christina731 replied to normitac86's topic in Nevada Nursing

    It really depends on your clinical instructor; some are more picky than others. Leather shoes are good vs canvas just in case something spills or sprays on them they can be wiped clean. I wouldn't...

  25. CSN RN Fall 2014

    christina731 replied to normitac86's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Dosagehelp.com is a good resource to use for dosage calculations. I use dimensional analysis to solve every problem and as long as you set up the problem correctly, you will be able to solve the...
