    Did you keep all PAPER notes?

    rob4546 replied to bellafsu89's topic in General Students

    I kept everything from my ADN program because I thought I might use it during my BSN program. I will finish my BSN in January and have not looked at any of the information gathered and stored...

    Items for practicing injecions

    rob4546 replied to Leonardsmom,LPN's topic in General Students

    Same here. I practiced with an orange enough that it doubled in size. I look back now and think how ridiculous it was for me to do it that many times. Personally I think that doing it 5-10 times on...

    rob4546 replied to Flames9_RN's topic in School, College Programs

    My instructor specifically asked for the articles properly cited and referenced with a simple cut and paste of the abstract. I think I might have lucked out but in reality that was what the rubric...

    missing pinning ceremony for dying father's birthday

    rob4546 replied to ichiro12's topic in General Students

    This would be something special. It sounds like you will make a wise choice. Why would comforting the sick and dying be against what Florence Nightingale stood for? Spend the time with your father,...

    BSN bridge or OT?

    rob4546 replied to Zooey72's topic in General Students

    Personally I would work the overtime if I could and take it slow when pursuing your BSN. This is kind of what I did and I should finish my BSN in January. Where I am at you do not get anymore money...

    It looks like it but of course there is a potential problem. There are three people that I have had previous experiences with from old CLC projects that might cause me problems. 2 that I had to pull...

    rob4546 replied to Ajcapri's topic in General Students

    Boy isn't this the truth. I am hoping that the skills labs are open for you to practice. When I was in school I believe that I practices on the mannequins nearly 100 time, both male and female. My...

    Weeding Out the Weak?

    rob4546 replied to Ajcapri's topic in General Students

    I had the same experience when I was in nursing school a couple years ago. The late times were infrequent and were usually 10-15 minutes in length. Is this class lectures or clinicals, skills lab, or...

    rob4546 replied to Flames9_RN's topic in School, College Programs

    Oh, I hate this. Every class there are a million questions.... "Do I turn it into Turnitin?" "How many posts do I have to make?" "Do I have to turn in my papers on time?" Guys, we read doctor's...

    rob4546 replied to Flames9_RN's topic in School, College Programs

    I think that most professors (stretching the meaning of this word) do not care when you DQ responses are posted but there are some out there that do. My leadership instructor (again stretching the...

    Interesting thing happened (or didn't happen) today. It is the Friday before my next class and it is not open to view. In fact there is no instructor listed in my class schedule as well. Was hoping...

    rob4546 replied to uconnhuskies25's topic in General Students

    Not sure if I understand your expectations after becoming a nurse. Let me try to help. This is coming from a nurse that currently works in the OR setting. I was in pre-op and recovery for over a...

    Don't stress over this. I got paired with someone that did not understand what APA was, did not follow the rubric, and did not have an abstract. I just stayed positive and gave suggestions. You are...

    I was looking at this truck as well (except a Diesel)l!! I am a Dodge guy to the end. Decided that even though I need a truck right now it is more important to have an economical car to go back and...

    Thanks for the input on the peer review assignment; it did help tremendously. I stayed positive but pointed out all the APA problems which made it look like I was being harsh. How can you learn the...

    I will echo the statements provided about spirituality, the first week isn't bad. The second is a little worse and the third is/was the worst for me. The paper is the longest in the class (1500-2000...

    One thing I used was the Medscape App on my phone. This app provided the adverse events in the order of likelihood they would occur. I believe that it also provided a percentage of occurrences in...
