  1. 12/5: What I've learned this week - No, I don't have "just a second" to help you

    aeris99 replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    We didn't actually have cheerleaders, but nothing makes the preppy kids run faster than a girl with a shaved head, fishnets and big blue steel toe Docs lol I didn't really fit in that well

  2. Overwhelmed by Prerequisites

    aeris99 replied to Compassionate22's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I did my pre-req's while working full time with 2 kids at home, both special needs. I also took 2 adult Ed classes to fill chemistry and biology (it was cheaper that way. I never took them in high...

    aeris99 replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

  5. confidence

    aeris99 replied to mbtsab's topic in General Students

    What exactly do you consider "core science"? And what classes are you in that you aren't finding the science courses useful? I mean I get it if you're taking leadership or management classes. But...

  7. "You'll hate your life"

    aeris99 replied to happyinmyheart's topic in General Students

    I'm 34 with two special needs kids, a mortgage and a hubby who works out of town. I'm also a senior nursing student in a BSN program! It's hard content, a major change from the pre-req's and so far...

  8. I hate group projects

    aeris99 replied to LPNtoRNin2016OH's topic in General Students

    I definitely didn't say it would be easy. You don't want to do the whole project, which I understand. But you seem hesitant to expend the effort to ensure that the group pulls it's weight. Group...

  9. I hate group projects

    aeris99 replied to LPNtoRNin2016OH's topic in General Students

    Call a group meeting the day it's assigned. Corner them in class if you have to. Write a group contract with due dates. Divvy up the work and make deadlines for completion. Turn it in as part of your...

    aeris99 replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    Yes! But without the pillows or tequila infused support of their parents

  11. 11/7: what I learned this week: Trey Anastasio wants to weigh your head; Cerner is stupid

    aeris99 replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    This week I learned: How propranolol works to treat an ulcerated hemangioma. That I don't have enough financial aid to cover my spring semester. I also have to find a way to pay for testing out of 12...

    aeris99 posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I had an interesting case recently that has me searching for information. A 5 month old was admitted with an ulcerated hemangioma located on the trunk. The ulceration was perhaps the size of a...

    That was a good read. Thank you for pointing me to

  14. Cheating in nursing school

    aeris99 replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    We take our tests in a school computer lab. The instructor can see, from her computer, everything we are doing. If you open a second window the test shuts off. This applies to ATI and our regular...

  15. Cleaning up a dead person in a hospice setting

    aeris99 replied to PhoebotNiChungngay's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    I have done post-mortem care a few times as a LNA. The only thing I did not see mentioned (forgive me if I missed it) was if they have dentures, clean them and get them back in place. We used to roll...

  16. Tubigrips

    aeris99 replied to Grasshopper11's topic in Medical-Surgical

    I would think calf to ankles runs the risk of cutting off circulation? My guess would be to check orders. I've only applied them in LTC and they all went knee to

    aeris99 replied to tbird88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Copy the diagrams from your text book. Cover the names with post its. Slide into a sheet protector and fill in the

  18. OB has got me down

    aeris99 replied to aeris99's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Brief update, I got a 94 on the second exam. I also scored a level 2 on the ATI exam. That first one must have been a fluke? I'll chalk it up to not feeling

  19. OB has got me down

    aeris99 posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Going into week 7 of a 15 week semester. First OB test covers 16 chapters. Prof says no study guide, go over the PowerPoint slides and do the ATI and you'll do fine. I spent over a week making notes...

  20. ED Preceptorship Tips?

    aeris99 replied to davethemurse's topic in General Students

    That's so exciting! I'm still waiting to hear where I'm being placed. I hope they decide to put me in the

  21. I can't stop thinking about quitting nursing school.

    aeris99 replied to efsrous's topic in General Students

    I'm in my 3rd semester and also graduating in May. I'm the opposite though, I love clinical (except OB) but classes...I go home and cry very frequently. I came home crying today actually. It's not...

  22. What was your experience like in nursing school? I have a lot of questions!

    aeris99 replied to xmilkncookiesx's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Read the forums here or elsewhere. Download or borrow the nursing school experience books. I got a lot of them free in my kindle. I personally found them to be very repetitive. And most of the...

  23. OB help - GTPAL?

    aeris99 replied to here_we_stand's topic in General Students

  24. ATI Assistance

    aeris99 replied to Miss.LeoRN's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  25. Fundraisers for nursing students

    aeris99 replied to shanell85's topic in General Students

    I'm sure it varies by program but our SNA uses money that we raise to pay for the class's pinning ceremony. Last year we also voted to pay for pins and a 3 day NCLEX review for the seniors. We have...
