    What do you take to clinicals?

    springchick1 replied to i♥words's topic in General Students

    What is the the thought behind this? Wouldn't string your stethoscope at your waist cause just as big as an infection risk? If that's the case, what about name badges? They brush up against patients...

    is this description of a CABG clear and correct?

    I still don't think it is necessary to describe the procedure step by step. It looks like it is just being used to take up space in the

    Why is that unsafe for future patients? Whether the school teaches it or you have to teach yourself, the test still has to be passed to continue on in a nursing program (and with a 100% I might add)....

    springchick1 replied to angelfocusbroken's topic in General Students

    Don't just memorize the material, learn it. And yes, there is a difference. It isn't just knowing the answer, it's applying the answer. I would recommend an NCLEX study guide. They are great and get...

    springchick1 replied to silkysteph's topic in Operating Room

    Books question: new v old edition?

    springchick1 replied to eyesopen_mouthshut's topic in General Students

    The Success series is ok but it is strictly questions and rationales. The reason I like the others better is because it does have the review part of it with the info to study. Go to Amazon where you...

    This semester I haven't read anything from our textbook. I have ONLY used the Review and Rationale books and my test grades are higher than they have ever been. I think these books condense the info...
