  1. Nursing Skills

    KLBatchelor replied to Darkstar1485's topic in General Students

    If I have a hard time palpating the brachial pulse, I extend the arm fully (almost to the point of hyperextension) as long as it's comfortable to the patient. The extension seems to push the artery...

  2. Which Specialty?

    KLBatchelor replied to RN-BSNheather's topic in General Students

    KLBatchelor posted a topic in General Students

    Hello there! So my first day of my first semester is on Wednesday! OMG 3 days away!! My question is, what do you do to make a study group most efficent? The 3rd semester students put together a video...

    KLBatchelor replied to KLBatchelor's topic in General Students

  6. Schedule in Nursing Program

    KLBatchelor replied to jellybean321's topic in General Students

    Is night shift an option for you? When I was doing my pre-reqs I was going to school full time and worked 3 14hr shifts Th-Sat. If you need 22 1/2 could you work 12 hrs Friday and Saturday nights?...

  7. Why should we pick you?

    KLBatchelor replied to nursingstudent2458's topic in General Students

    I start nursing school August 15th and clinicals 3 weeks after that in September!! What shoes do you recommend? The director said they need to be all white but if the logo was a color that was ok and...

  10. What would you do if you were in my shoes?

    KLBatchelor replied to RhodyLPNstudent's topic in General Students

    I don't think you can go wrong doing the LPN route. Not only are there LPN-RN programs, there are LPN to BSN programs as well. I think getting your LPN will open the door for you for other, more...

  13. Uniforms

    KLBatchelor replied to Crazed's topic in General Students

    And what if your patient tries to pull themselves up and grabs your top? It's going to pop open no matter what size it is! We had that option as well but I was eesh that seems like a bad

  14. Is your program this way?

    KLBatchelor replied to fitzy5's topic in General Students

    I wish I knew if my program was this way. I'm attending a CC, which is a different CC from the one I did my pre-reqs. My husband and I moved out of state for his job and now I feel like I'm walking...

    KLBatchelor replied to daisygarten's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    Where I'm from you can become a nurse tech after your first semester of nursing school. The local hospital has a nurse tech program for those students, which is generally 6-10 hours a week and you get...

  17. Orientation(s)?

    KLBatchelor replied to CRNBSN18's topic in General Students

    I guess it depends on what you call an orientation. The school I'm attending has a 'mandatory meeting' right after our acceptance letter to do background checks, drug screens and required paperwork....

  18. When do you find time to work out?

    KLBatchelor replied to emcadams's topic in General Students

    Same here, what helps is the campus gym is right across from the nursing school! Good luck! I try to remember how much of a necessity it is for my health and that helps. That, and trying to be a good...

  21. Lunches

    KLBatchelor replied to CRNBSN18's topic in General Students

    I don't know about y'all, but I am in a constant battle with my dryer about shrinking my clothes (ok ok maybe it's not so much the dryer, but my back side growing)! I take 2 diet shakes- the grocery...

  22. Nursing school supplies advice

    KLBatchelor replied to angiee's topic in General Students

    Go look at reviews on amazon, that always makes me feel

  23. Nursing school supplies advice

    KLBatchelor replied to angiee's topic in General Students

    I know this isn't directed towards me BUT I've had several nurses and doctors tell me the same thing- Littmans are the best. The Classic II or Master Classic II are the perfect for RN

  24. Nursing school supplies advice

    KLBatchelor replied to angiee's topic in General Students

  25. Nursing Shoes??

    KLBatchelor replied to KLBatchelor's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I have a pair, but I can't imagine wearing them for a long period of time. I think I'd do better with more stability (I can be super
