  2. Ever since I started thinking about returning to school, my mom has always been super supportive and played a huge role in helping me to pay for university. She was definitely tough on me, but that's because she cared and wanted to make sure that I ...
  3. This will be a tough year

    Hey all, As I expected the semester back was very difficult. Took a break from volunteering at hospice and just recently started going back to volunteer every Saturday, and I am glad to be back! School was difficult in a variety of ways. Would try...
  4. This will be a tough year

    Thank you all so much for your kind words! Each day has it struggles but I try to keep my wits about everything. The nights can be very stressful and lonely since I spent many nights by her bedside making sure that she had someone there with her. ...
  5. First Time CPR Certification

    Just go in and have fun and soak in the material, most of the first aid instructors are really awesome and do a great job at giving you the information needed to pass! From the many re-certs i've taken it's always been very common sense the final te...
  6. 1st semester expectations

    I'll be going into my third year of nursing school. First year I felt so stressed and as though there was so much going on. But as the year comes to an end and you enter 2nd year, you realize that first year was actually pretty easy and you learn t...

  8. I started nursing school at the sweet age of 25. Going into my 3rd year in September it has been the best decision I've ever made.
  9. Stress of nursing school

    My biggest stressor in nursing school is myself and my procrastination. I worry too much about essays and tests that i work myself up and other times I start assignments late which again stresses me.
  10. Doctor Anyone?

    I'm am unsure about if I would want to become an MD after nursing school. In the past few months I have met some incredible doctors from all disciplines which makes me think that it would be a fun and rewarding path to take. However, currently i'm ...
  11. What is a "passing grade" for your nursing program?

    Seems as though BScN program I take is probably the most lenient. A passing grade at my school is a 60%, the med math portion we needed a 100% in order to pass. The teachers and coordinators however do mention to the students, quite often, those ...
  12. What do you want for Christmas?

    The main concern for me is money. Last year i just scraped by with enough money to pay for my tuition. So i'm really looking forward to some good fortune in order for me to continue into my 3rd year.
  13. As a nursing student i'm afraid of not knowing what to do in life or death situations. In 3rd semester our instructors dropped 3 of us into a simulation ( i was one of the 3), needless to say i froze and didn't know what to do. My "patient" died wit...
  14. When does/did your semester end and how did you do?

    Congratulations! good luck on the rest of your journey. :) I finish in '16, it'll be an amazing year.
  16. I had the opportunity to meet multiple wonderful nurses with their Ph.D, and while talking to them about the NCLEX, they mentioned in most cases for those who want to pass on the first try it is best to do about 5000 nclex questions, prior to testing...
  17. First time having a patient with diabetes

    Just as one of the other members have said. It is normally not required to hold metformin, because it's mechanism of action is different than that of Insulin. Metformin is a drug that works with the liver to decrease glucose production, without low...
  18. Oral Dosages Help..

    Try to keep in mind, Doctors Order (DD) dosage on hand (DH), and quantity (Qt). DD / DH * Qt 1000 / 500 * 1 1000 / 500 = 2 2 * 1 = 2 tablets.
  19. Changing careerS

    Though, i never really had a career I also went through a big change. I was originally a high school drop out, and worked in factories and meat plants for about 7 years going from job to job. I got extremely dissatisfied with how life was going for...
  20. I started my Bachelor of Science of Nursing last year, at the age of 27. It's been a wonderful yet hectic ride. Sometimes I feel as though i'm lacking so much knowledge and it can be disheartening. But I gotta keep reminding myself that it'll come...
  21. Why a Nurse?

    1) I want to have an impact on as many people as I can, to help them live healthier fuller lives. (quality over quantity) 2) 27 (2nd semester BScN student) 3) Complex care, BICU, or perhaps try for NP.
  22. Guys, do you take this personally?

    I don't take it personally. You have to take into consideration a lot of things. Perhaps they are old fashioned and don't feel right having a male nurse seeing them in such a vulnerable state. Not only that, but you have to take into consideration...
  23. Got accepted!!!!

    Congrats on being accepted. I have just recently finished my first semester of my BScN program and it's been quite the ride already!
