  2. Medication Administration

    nlynrob replied to Littlefoot88's topic in General Students

    I'm still a student so I am NO expert on med giving or policies but... Every site I've been too requires bringing all of the still packaged meds to the bedside with the MAR (paper or electronic or...

  3. Did you get to choose your Clinicals site/schedule?

    nlynrob replied to Stacilator's topic in General Students

    When we register all we can see is which instructor we're choosing. Other than that it's kind of just what you get. However, once we reach junior year (when we do all the specialty clinicals) they are...

  4. I cried in front of my instructor!?

    nlynrob replied to AllyMichelle's topic in General Students

    I cried in front of my maternity clinical instructor and another student after I had been allowed to observe an emergency c-section at 27 weeks where the baby was born with gastroschisis and spina...

    nlynrob replied to hygienegrrl's topic in General Students

    I was advised when I was writing my admission essay for my BSN program (that I was accepted to) not to mention that I intended on being an NP one day, and it turned out to be good advice. They want to...

  7. Nursing School changing criteria to pass classes

    nlynrob replied to Reese2012's topic in General Students

    In my program 77% is passing so as long as you have a 76.5% you're good. They don't do anything like making sure all the tests average that and then adding in papers, HESI, ect. You just need that as...

  8. First year nurse student--how do i study?

    nlynrob replied to NENANUNEZRN's topic in General Students

    I was averaging low B's when I was concentrating on study guides and text books for the classes and using HESI and NCLEX prep books to supplement my studies. After advice from a fellow student I...

  9. GPA lower than a 3.0, can I still be a nurse

    nlynrob replied to twaugh1's topic in General Students

    I completed two years of college with no major right after high school and dropped out with a horrible GPA in the 2.something low range. When I finally figured out what I wanted I went after it and...

  10. Is my nursing school too selective?

    nlynrob replied to aquamoon713's topic in General Students

    We started with somewhere around 120. We're now in semester 6/8 and there's about 50ish left (not exact numbers, just ball park). I don't think it's all people being kicked out though, many realized...

  13. Advice for a prospective Nursing Student

    nlynrob replied to AnnaRuthBeckel's topic in General Students

    If you're only 17 and already know you want this career, go for a BSN. You'll end up there eventually and at your age there's no point in taking the long route. It's hard to go back to school once...

  14. What does your countdown look like?

    nlynrob replied to krisiepoo's topic in General Students

    1 lecture 1 HESI 1 Final ... Then another year and a half! Five semesters down, three to go

  15. YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS

    nlynrob replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Students

    That is incredibly frustrating! My school rounds up or down so I'm getting irritated thinking about being that close and told they don't abide by the laws of basic math.

    nlynrob replied to chanandler's topic in General Students

  20. Hesi every semester, this time over fundamentals

    nlynrob replied to missmollie's topic in General Students

    I remember getting a lot of questions on different types of suctioning: equipment needed, safety precautions. We didn't learn that in fundamentals so I had no idea and wished I'd looked into

  24. Nursing care plan- Health Promotion

    nlynrob replied to kmp23's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Maybe implement mechanisms to contact client/caregiver for yearly reminders, but that (and pretty much everything else I read) wouldn't be used by a floor nurse in a hospital, a nurse or MA in an...

    nlynrob replied to BSNinprogress22's topic in General Students

    For me it was both semesters sophomore year. Foundations, health assessment, Pathopharm I and II, med-Surg I, nutrition, and growth and development. It was mostly Pathopharm that made it so hard, it's...
