    EKG: It's in alphabetical order!

    missmollie replied to JoseQuinones's topic in General Students

    I think it's great that you had an epiphany about the letters of an ECG. I hate to break it to you, this new knowledge is not going to help you understand Cardio any better. Knowing what they...

    My experience as a NS and CNA

    missmollie replied to prettyboyswag's topic in General Students

    Prettyboyswag, you can always refer to the patient's care plan and state that the person is a 2-assist when they are. Therefore, it would be unethical of you to attempt to move/change position/or...

    My experience as a NS and CNA

    missmollie replied to prettyboyswag's topic in General Students

    I work as a CNA in a LTC facility. Count yourself lucky that you landed a hospital position, where you only have 7-13 patients. I have, on more occasions than I wish to admit, had 32 residents to...

    First week HELP!

    missmollie replied to summyrn's topic in General Students

    So far, I've found that studying the class notes and reading the text as a supplement will further your understanding and give you the knowledge needed to ace an exam. There are little gems that...

    2nd level nursing student...is nursing really what I want to do?:/

    missmollie replied to Honeylove143's topic in General Students

    Honestly, the second semester is the hardest. All of a sudden you're asked to do skills, not just assess a patient, and you start to wonder if you're cut out for this. Here is a thread that I wrote...

    First exam, feeling discouraged :(

    missmollie replied to shells31's topic in General Students

    PrepU has an NCLEX 10,000 that's great. Many of your books may have a code on the inside for free NCLEX questions and resources. If you buy supplemental books, definitely check the inside covers of...

    Newbie CNA shocked "care" given by CNA co-workers!

    missmollie replied to MidLifeChg2Nursing's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I feel the same way. I got a job as a CNA this summer, and while my residents LOVE me, my co-workers aren't feeling the same way. I am apparently too slow, I listen to the residents, I actually use...

    Don't freak out. As someone once told me: the answer is somewhere between A and D. If you've studied, you'll be

    Not What I Expected

    missmollie replied to LoveAlwaysAlisa's topic in General Students

    Well, for heaven's sake, you're in clinical. You are not responsible for anyone's life, nor are you expected to be until you pass NCLEX and have orientation on a floor for 4-6 weeks. I think it's...

    failed foundations of nursing

    missmollie replied to snowybee's topic in General Students

    I hate to be harsh, but fundamentals isn't hard. It's the easiest of the classes that are coming. I'm sorry you failed. If nursing is something you feel is for you, then reapply and go from there....

    We survived!

    missmollie replied to cracklingkraken's topic in General Students

    I wish I had 2 exams a week. I have few exams for the semester. 3 exams for one course, 4 exams for the other, both "exams" include a HESI. Little scary. Hope your first week of school was...

    missmollie replied to futurenurse16's topic in General Students

    Don't doubt yourself. Most likely, it was extremely competitive to gain a spot in the nursing program, so obviously you can do this. Study hard and enjoy the ride. You'll come out stronger in the...

    missmollie replied to vregino36's topic in General Students

    This will be an experience like no other. I wish you all well, and I hope you still have the excitement going into your second year of school. Best of luck with the exams, study, and find at least...

    Nursing is a gift

    missmollie replied to Erusso's topic in General Students

    Maybe I'm naive, but I don't think nursing is going to be sunshine and rainbows. I'm fairly reasonable when I look at what nurses have to do. It's a crazy, busy, thankless job that comes with too...

    missmollie replied to lancerswife's topic in General Students

    Getting out of the nursing field

    missmollie replied to lynds80's topic in General Nursing

    I see that you are unhappy in your job. Your posting history suggests that you have jumped from job to job in a short amount of time. You've been in the OR, cardiology, 'floor nursing', ambulatory...

    missmollie replied to Nursetobe25's topic in General Students

    Worst case scenario: You start nursing school and you fail. Best case scenario: You start nursing school, manage through it, pass the NCLEX, and become a licensed RN. Either way, you won't know...

    Nursing and the Ebola Virus

    missmollie replied to 0.adamantite's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Godwin's law: you started it, have some fellow respect of those in the nursing profession (or in school). Intelligent people abound here. If ebola makes it here during the prime flu season, that's...

    Nursing advice in social situations, HELP!?

    missmollie replied to PrayingToPass's topic in General Students

    I do announce that I'm a nursing student, but only because my younger sister has been a nurse for 8 years. They are not going to ask me, they will ask her. If anyone asks me for advice, I say...

    Nighttime studying

    missmollie replied to Gottawanna's topic in General Students

    I'm a huge advocate for an early bedtime for children. I realize this depends on how old your children are, but I have found that if you can have them in bed by 8:00 it gives you time to study. Then...

    1st semester expectations

    missmollie replied to Val0512's topic in General Students

    First year goes quickly and at the end, you look back and think of how far you've come. Just take one day at a time and understand that even failure is a learning experience. You'll be just
