  1. List of level IV NICU's

    QueenAnnissa replied to guest769224's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I believe Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) and Boston Children's run neck & neck between the number 1 & 2 spots each year on the list of the nation's top children's hospitals. CHOP...

  2. Males working in the NICU?

    QueenAnnissa replied to cph1993's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I think as a male you can help to relate to the dad's in a completely different way than the female nurses do during an overwhelming and stressful event like the birth of a fragile child. We were in...

  4. RN's & Nursing Students

    QueenAnnissa posted a topic in General Students

    I'm in my 2nd semester of nursing school and last semester clinicals were spent at a LTC facility. This semester is going to be spent on a med-Surg floor. After 4 weeks there (2 days a week from 7am -...

  5. Dosage Calculation Question

    QueenAnnissa posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Hello! I'm working on a review for my second semester of nursing school, and I'm stuck on an IV calculation problem. Here it is: "Your client has 1 liter of D5 1/2NSS infusing at 100mL/hr into a #22...

  6. First Day of Nursing School

    QueenAnnissa replied to sealford's topic in General Students

    I am starting my second semester in a week. I had a solid grade in my first semester and really grew close to my clinical group. We all pretty much studied on our own, but I think as we've learned to...

  7. Dosage Calculation Question

    QueenAnnissa replied to QueenAnnissa's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Thank you so much for replying and helping me out! Although we began exploring IV calculations at the end of the first semester, it was just a beginning and we'll really dive into it next week in the...

  9. First Day of Nursing School

    QueenAnnissa replied to sealford's topic in General Students

    Yesterday was my first day, a 2 hour lecture. First we were greeted by the program director who spoke for about 15-20 minutes, giving us a program overview, etc. Then it was handed over to the lecture...

  10. Disadvantaged not being a CNA/PCT?

    QueenAnnissa posted a topic in General Students

    I have heard repeatedly by other students going into the nursing program at my school that those without CNA/PCT experience are at a real disadvantage in the program and won't do as well, especially...

  11. How Not to Get Taken Advantage Of

    QueenAnnissa replied to DisneyNurseGal's topic in General Students

    I don't think the poster is referring to any type of graded assignments. I believe this entire thread is in reference to class notes, calendars/schedule, and typed lectures from audio recordings as...

  12. First Day of Nursing School

    QueenAnnissa replied to sealford's topic in General Students

    I'm nervous, but not sure why, tomorrow is simply a 2 hour lecture and it will mostly be covering what to do, the syllabus, orientation, etc. It might just be because I know how hard it's going to be,...

  13. A spouse that just doesn't get it.

    QueenAnnissa replied to megkat's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It is hard for anyone else to understand, especially if you are not a former college student, a current college student or in the medical field. One of the things that has bonded me to my fellow...

  14. Patient's responses to students during clinical days

    QueenAnnissa posted a topic in General Students

    Searching back a bit I didn't catch anything in reference to this, so I apologize if this was recently brought up... In general, current and former nursing students, how have patients reacted to...

    QueenAnnissa posted a topic in General Students

    I start next Monday, August 19th, and I've been passing the time these last few weeks cleaning and organizing my house, gathering school supplies for myself and the kids, cleaning out closets, etc.,...

  16. Audio summaries

    QueenAnnissa replied to BBB<3's topic in General Students

    I use Audible on my iPhone, and I've downloaded the Vango Notes for Prentice Hall Nursing Reviews & Rationales Fundamentals as well as the Med-Surg one. As supplements to nursing textbooks, they...

  17. How Not to Get Taken Advantage Of

    QueenAnnissa replied to DisneyNurseGal's topic in General Students

    I'm not sure about handing over something like a concept map created from the required reading, that is a lot to ask of a fellow student. What is that saying, a lack of preparation on your part does...

  18. Early clinical hours...need some tips :)

    QueenAnnissa replied to its_meee's topic in General Students

    Your ideas sound good. Having easy breakfast ideas and their clothing and school stuff ready the night before will go a long way to making mornings run smoothly. Do they have alarm clocks? And an easy...

  19. Starting school in two weeks!!! ahhh

    QueenAnnissa replied to Marleeblyss's topic in General Students

    Yeah, the nerves have kicked in! I am glad that I'll know some of the students in the program, as we've gone through some of the pre-req's together. That, I think, helps when I nervously picture...

    I agree, I'm glad it's all done and organized and put together for me. I just had to throw it in a binder and read

  23. Paying for Course syllabus?

    QueenAnnissa replied to QueenAnnissa's topic in General Students

    ^This! I really do think this is a blueprint for success in each portion of the program. It's not a replacement for the hard work and active learning we'll have to do, but having clear direction,...

  24. Paying for Course syllabus?

    QueenAnnissa replied to QueenAnnissa's topic in General Students

    This take on it makes a lot more sense. The overall cost is a much better clarification of this part of the program. I would say based on my research and the reviews of this program (from former and...
