  1. Dialysis to Med-Surg unit?

    rnmalex replied to PrettyLady87's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I would say try to get some medsurg experience if you're unsure of what you really want to do. It exposes you to a lot of different patients and helps with assessment. You just see so much variety,...

  2. NURS 3352 Legacy of the Family Start Date 5/20/2013

    rnmalex replied to laskydncr's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    It seems like a lot of this assignment is based on chapters we haven't read yet. Kind of

  3. NURS 4325 Research Start Date 5/20/2013

    rnmalex replied to laskydncr's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    I agree. Unnecessary and nearly

  4. NURS 3352 Legacy of the Family Start Date 5/20/2013

    rnmalex replied to laskydncr's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    This reading seriously seems like it's dragging a bit... at least for me. I'm glad Mrs. Doubtfire is on the movie list

  5. NURS 4325 Research Start Date 5/20/2013

    rnmalex replied to laskydncr's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    This class is so strange already. I still am not sure what the coaches/teachers are expecting from us, especially with these assignments. It's kind of unnerving to have to rely on other group...

  6. NURS 4325 Research Start Date 5/20/2013

    rnmalex replied to laskydncr's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    I'll be in research 5/20 as well. Hope it goes

  7. NURS 3425 Holistic Health starting 04/08/2013

    rnmalex replied to TBBRN2011's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    Definitely annoying the quiz is due Friday instead of Sunday.. and assignments are due Thursday after this week!

  8. Best shoe to wear in nursing school for clinical and after?

    rnmalex replied to soulshine101's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Sketchers Go-Walk shoes. HEAVENLY. New Balance tennis shoes still let my feet hurt, but after running back and forth all day, the go-walk shoes help my feet stay comfortable. I wish I had known...

  9. N3325 Holistic Care of Older Adults

    rnmalex replied to amyrnfa's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    I'll be starting this course on the 5th! Hopefully it's not too

  10. I feel very overwhelmed about my clinicals.

    rnmalex replied to NurseKis's topic in General Students

    I remember being afraid to try something new in clinicals. I think I had that apprehension all the way up to landing my 1st job last month. But really, if the teacher asked you to read over...

  11. Clinical Preps Rant

    rnmalex replied to rei-chan's topic in General Students

    This sounds just like my old nursing program. I graduated in May and I do NOT miss clinical prep paperwork! (I just hate the paperwork at my current job... haha). But yeah. I feel like a lot of it...

  12. clinical locations at Bristol Community College

    rnmalex replied to lilmama10211's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I just finished nursing school in Texas this past May, and we had clinical experiences in many different places, up to an hour away from the school. And they don't care if you don't have...

  13. Why would these IV meds be on my tomorrow patient's chart?

    rnmalex replied to Samian Q's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Yep. That actually happened last spring during my final semester of nursing school. It was really awful. TPA is a fibrinolytic that comes to mind. In this case, it's better to prevent than to...

  14. This is my very first Care Plan, for Maternity. Please help?

    rnmalex replied to Samian Q's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    You could say "risk for infection r/t complications secondary to chorioamnionitis" or something along those lines. But yes, a medical diagnosis is never directly your "related to" section. Different...

  15. Why would these IV meds be on my tomorrow patient's chart?

    rnmalex replied to Samian Q's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Ambulation after arthroplasty is important and well-timed. Lovenox is often given to most of the patients I've seen in the hospital just because they are often in bed a lot, and therefore at risk for...

  16. UTA RN to BSN Sept 24 & Classes

    rnmalex replied to NurseZani's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    I just finished A & B last week and am starting my second course the 24th. (I think) you have to take part A alone, but you can pair part B with another

  17. How long for admissions process?

    rnmalex replied to krazylady's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    Hi, I applied to UTA after I finished my ADN program this last May, 2012. It seems like it only took them a few weeks (2-4) to get everything together and let me know I was accepted. I started the...
