  1. Anatomy and Physiology Online

    Compassion_x replied to bkburgos1326's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would never take a class like that online if I were you. A&P can be difficult. It pays to learn from an instructor/professor right in front of you than learning it all from the Internet and a...

  2. So in class today...

    Compassion_x replied to booboo21's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    It's possible... Usually my instructors ask us all to sit every other seat during exams/tests. It does sound like if he/she suspected cheating it's probably clear now, or else they'd say something to...

  3. What the heck?

    Compassion_x replied to Moriah02's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Well, somehow... you'll get used to it. It's about the only way to survive

  4. Nursing/Med school? Please help

    Compassion_x replied to ecruz1820's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Honestly, med school vs. nursing school is something that you will have to decide. Obviously med school will take longer, be a lot more expensive, but it is worth it if that is what you want. Just...

  5. Mouthcare:dentures

    Compassion_x replied to deetrain's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    You wouldn't need to apply toothpaste to a swab. Are these full or partial dentures? If they're full they wouldn't have any teeth to put toothpaste on after the dentures are out would they Lol....

  6. Cna trivia..

    Compassion_x replied to deetrain's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I think your answers are

  7. CNA sample ques.

    Compassion_x replied to deetrain's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    1. Dependent care, probably. Not necessarily bed rest though. 2. Calmly ask the wife to step out and take a few breaths, and tell the RN/whatever supervisor you can. 3. Is this in a hospital? Many...

  8. How to chart I&Os

    Compassion_x replied to RNstudent13renee's topic in General Students

    I think it depends on the patient, and the policy. Ideally you should chart I&Os when they happen. But that doesn't always happen. The important thing is to at least remember amounts, and roughly...

  9. What is in your clinical bag?

    Compassion_x replied to VAgirl247's topic in General Students

    I usually have a clipboard, notebook, folder, stethoscope, pen light, extra pens/pencils, bandage scissors, and a med book. Some of my classmates bring their care plan books and whatnot if we have...

  10. Where did you all buy your white nurse shoes?

    Compassion_x replied to smartypants22's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I had a hard time finding anything when I had to buy some last year. It sounds like my school isn't as restrictive though: white, no mesh, cloth, clogs, but they can have laces. I ended up going to...

  11. MacBook vs. Chromebook

    Compassion_x replied to FuturePedRN2016's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would do the mac. I've used chromebooks before and... I don't know, they feel a bit cheap in my hands. That and the whole always need the internet thing. Also, what if you need to use certain CDs or...

  12. Palpations, physical exams on genitals?

    Compassion_x replied to lissart's topic in General Students

    In my physical assessment class we just went over the chapters and had a test on it. No touching each other or any weird

  13. What course was most difficult for you?

    Compassion_x replied to SirenoftheSea's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Hardest nursing class for me was

  14. Wow!

    Compassion_x replied to Emily Cox's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    My program is 80-86 is a C, 87-93 is a B, and 94+ is an A. Yes, it's tough, but it's nursing, you have to weed people out, just the way it is. So work

  15. Two questions about associates degree in nursing

    Compassion_x replied to Edson12's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Look around your area, check job listings etc. Some areas will only hire BSNs, others will hire

  16. Where do you all get textbooks from

    Compassion_x replied to maj0079's topic in General Students

    Half.com. Cheaper than amazon, and buyer protection, cheaper than amazon in many cases, MUCH cheaper than school book

  17. Can nurses refuse to perform/assist circumcisions and abortions?

    Compassion_x replied to crunchymama91's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    When I had OB clinicals the nurse assisted with circumcisions. Mostly helping prep and calming he baby, checking for bleeding after, etc. minor

  18. Dumb question....

    Compassion_x replied to Emily Cox's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    We have three hospitals in fairly close proximity to the school. As my school is a CC plenty of students are from all over the area and living up to an hour drive away. That said, if clinicals are to...

  19. Does National Accredited and Regionally Accredited really matter?

    Compassion_x replied to Ariel09's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'd be willing to bet that they are accredited/accepted by your state BON, though. If you were to go to an unaccredited school in another state, it wouldn't

  20. Didn't get into the CNA training I applied for

    Compassion_x replied to liketheairport's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Good luck. Persistence pays off, but apply for all your options. You should get in somewhere, so don't give

  21. Took NCLEX Today..Got the Good Pop Up!

    Compassion_x replied to vintagemother's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Congratulations!!

  22. Mental illnesses?

    Compassion_x replied to ARussell1983's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Haha, stress definitely magnifies all that stuff that's for sure. But yes, find another therapist. I've seen many before finding one I really connect with and that helps in the way I need to be...

  23. What is your grading scale?

    Compassion_x replied to smoup's topic in General Students

    A - 94-100 b - 87-93.9 c -

  24. Work and school...is it possible?

    Compassion_x replied to stephanie10414's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I worked part time during my LPN program and did just fine. I had a 4.0 my first semester, and 3.5s after. However, starting my LPN-RN program, I have stopped working (although truly I didn't have a...

  25. Note Taking??

    Compassion_x replied to amanda1102's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What I do for studying includes reading the chapters (not even necessarily before class but definitely before the test), taking notes in lecture (and never skip our miss unless you really have to),...
