  1. HESI Pharmacology

    nlynrob replied to NICUmiiki's topic in General Students

    We have to take a Fundamentals HESI, one at the end of each specialty rotation (Peds, maternity, and mental health) and one for Med-Surg II. Then we need to pass the comprehensive before they let us...

  2. Sorry, but no..:

    nlynrob replied to Carpediem1012's topic in General Students

    Since you're so busy you probably shouldn't be wasting your precious time responding to lowly students and waiting for their replies. I love how some nurses on here assume student = no idea what it's...

  3. Anyone doing well?

    nlynrob replied to kp1987's topic in General Students

    You're serious with this post? Maybe reread what the OP wrote and try again. You can also check out the hundred other threads specific to clinical and bedside skills, because this isn't

  4. Help me calculate my med surg grade..

    nlynrob replied to EmilyEmily's topic in General Students

    There are tons of websites for this. You literally just have to type in "weighted grade calculator". PS get ready for a lot of people to be annoyed/angry with your

  5. I Feel Done

    nlynrob replied to i♥words's topic in General Students

    I don't get your point. OP explained what she meant by the throne statement and it had nothing to do with getting homework done on time and everything to do with them saying they want it one way and...

  6. Nursing school orientation

    nlynrob replied to PurpleLover's topic in General Students

    You might not have to. I'm in my third year and I've never been drug tested and we don't have to pay for our

  7. BP cuff not required?!

    nlynrob replied to erint91DC's topic in General Students

    I didn't have to get a BP cuff or anything else on your list other than a stethoscope. Some people did buy them to practice at home

  8. How much is too much?

    nlynrob replied to WalterWho's topic in General Students

  9. How much is too much?

    nlynrob replied to WalterWho's topic in General Students

    That's what I thought! They must be making some serious money off all the books they're making them buy. There is no reason for that many books for 3-4

  10. Picking the right school to get hired in the future

    nlynrob replied to Dressagern's topic in General Students

  11. How much is too much?

    nlynrob replied to WalterWho's topic in General Students

    I'm a junior in a BSN program also and that seems like A LOT to me. Most of the books we had to buy throughout sophomore year carried over- I'm only buying one or two specialty books per course. What...

  12. Nurses that don't work holidays?

    nlynrob replied to kegardne's topic in General Students

    And by do's I mean

  13. Nurses that don't work holidays?

    nlynrob replied to kegardne's topic in General Students

    Nights, weekends and holidays usually come with being a new grad. You could get a job in an out patient setting if you really want to avoid it all together (or most of the time at least). My friend...

  14. 30 stages of Nursing school

    nlynrob replied to NICU Guy's topic in General Students

    Pretty close for me except for the "yay finally pediatrics!" I was more like oh my god I don't think ill make it through pedi followed by THANK GOD it's finally over haha

  15. ADN-BSN paper

    nlynrob replied to montinurse's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    You could use something regarding cultural competency. I was trying to think of something that would be useful in nursing that I've learned in my non nursing BSN required classes and this came to...

  16. How is having a dog during nursing school?

    nlynrob replied to remotefuse's topic in General Students

  17. How is having a dog during nursing school?

    nlynrob replied to remotefuse's topic in General Students

    I have a boxer and she's been fine and very happy since I started school last fall. There are dog breeds that aren't super active. Not every dog wants to go for runs and be walked three times a day....

  18. Test Review

    nlynrob replied to runswithscissors's topic in General Students

  19. Should I go straight to graduate school or pay off my debts first?

    nlynrob replied to Kathy Kethdy's topic in General Students

    Some specialities don't allow you to apply without experience so it kind of depends on what type of NP you want to be. If you want to do acute care for example you need at least 2-3 years experience...

  20. Plan B for if you Fail/Get Kicked out of Nursing School? I may need help with this.

    nlynrob replied to Athariel's topic in General Students

    This sounds like something a med student/physician would say. The surgeon I work for likes to say that his patients are like broken machinery to him. He fascinated by the human body and can figure out...

  21. Nursing School Bag - Vera Bradley

    nlynrob replied to musaafirah's topic in General Students

    I would go with an actual backpack not a one shoulder. You'll end up buying a two strap backpack halfway through your first semester anyways. A rolling bag probably isn't necessary though unless...

  22. Technology Advice for Nursing School

    nlynrob replied to goldeeloks23's topic in General Students

    Last year, my first year of nursing classes after pre-reqs, I was using a PC. I eventually stopped bringing it to campus because it was heavy and I needed to bring the bulky power cord everywhere...

  23. Ugh so upset!!

    nlynrob replied to brycross33's topic in General Students

    School is where you are learning. Its okay to make mistakes; school is where you should be making them so you don't do it in practice. Your instructor should be catching those mistakes, stopping them,...

  24. What to go to school for? (Gastroenterology)

    nlynrob replied to anthony916's topic in General Students

    A medical assistant won't have anything to do with procedures like a colonoscopy. You could work a GI physicians office where those tests may be ordered but they'd be sent to the hospital to have them...

  25. What happens when the majority fails?

    nlynrob replied to MilliePieRN's topic in General Students

    At my school if more than 50% of the class gets a question wrong it is thrown out. If the class is split 50/50 (ish) on a question both answers are usually accepted. We always go over the exams later...
