2. Careplan problems

   Glimmer replied to Glimmer's topic in General Students

   Thanks everyone! I got an email back from my instructor... I was right in my thinking (as you guys have told me here) that I could not have the AEB with a potential problem. The problem she has with my diagnosis is that I incorporate 3 into one... th...

3. Careplan problems

   Glimmer replied to Glimmer's topic in General Students

   I have emailed my instructor again to see if she can offer me more assistance. As of right now I am going to print out two different careplans... one with the AEB and the other without it... and then if nothing else I will ask her in person. At least...

4. Careplan problems

   Glimmer replied to Glimmer's topic in General Students

   The problem is that this is not a real pt... just a scenerio. The "pt" has chronic relapsing MS. I just could not figure out what would make this a 3 part diagnosis. In class she clearly told us several times that at risk diagnosis will not have an A...

5. Careplan problems

   Glimmer posted a topic in General Students

   Hi Everyone... We wrote out our first careplans the other day. Just about the whole class failed. I really do not have much for marks on my paper (other than not having the AEB)... but here is my question. If you have an At Risk diagnosis you dont h...

6. i gave my first injections!!

   Glimmer replied to summers hope's topic in General Students

   We did our first "real" injections as well this week... except we went to a home for disable children to do Flu vaccs and PPDs... the flu vac was pretty easy... straight forward, etc. The PPD was harder just because almost all the children had severe...

7. Right way to study?

   Glimmer replied to adamsmom's topic in General Students

   I used to be a straight A student... I could go to lecture and take great notes... do most of my reading and ace every test. Heck I could pretty much quote the teacher word for word when it came down to it. That doesnt work in nursing school though! ...

8. What is your passing percentile?

   Glimmer replied to Achoo!'s topic in General Students

   We are also one of the schools that is 76%. My understanding is that they will round your grade up at the end of the semester. We will see though... BTW... We have a pretty good pass rate... and this is also the first semester that they have done the...

9. Anyone else just passing

   Glimmer replied to adamsmom's topic in General Students

   I am in my first semester and just had our third test yesterday. The first test I studied for and got a 68.7... the second test I really worked for and read to no end. I knew the material backwards and forwards... got an 80... I was so upset. I went ...

10. Failed math test badly

    Glimmer replied to adamsmom's topic in General Students

    Keep your chin up!!!! Math is not for everyone and everyone has a weakness at some point. Is there a particular area that you are having trouble with? Maybe we can help you out. Just let us know. You can still pass it from the sound of it. If the pr...

11. How not to feel guilty for breaking?

    Glimmer replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Students

    I agree with above when they say you have to take time for yourself. I know that isnt easy because I am there with you. But, from personal experience, if you dont then you will snap. I did. I had a test 2 weeks ago that I studied and studied and stud...

12. Nursing School Blues??

    Glimmer replied to Nili927's topic in General Students

    Add my name to the list!!! I am only a little over halfway through my first semester and feel so overwhelmed all the time it isnt funny! We had our second visit to the nursing home today (my first wasnt the best experience...) and today was a horribl...

    Hi Everyone!! Hope everyone has had a wonderful weekend!!! I have my first fundamentals test tomorrow. I have studied, studied, and studied some more for it! I have kept up with my reading, answered the questions in the back of the book, quizzed my...

14. Pins

    Glimmer replied to Glimmer's topic in General Students

    Thanks! I think we decided to use estimates between $70-200 for the pins... figure we would do examples on the lower end and examples on the extremely pricey end.

    Hi Everyone.. I am the president of the class club... our ultimate goal is to be able to buy pins for the graduating class in 2008... We are trying to get info on pin costs, etc... I have tried locating the past companies that the school has ordered...
