    MedicalPartisan replied to rewob716's topic in Male Nursing Students

    A what now? Haha, my generation will never see a pension,

  2. What can I do to be productive while waiting to get into Nursing program?

    MedicalPartisan replied to TiffanyMcNurse2b's topic in General Students

    If you really want to get ahead start looking over your fluids and electrolyte imbalances. These are prominent throughout the entire program, in my experience. Don't just know what...

  3. I start tomorrow!

    MedicalPartisan replied to JACSN's topic in General Students

    You will be stressed. You will cry. You will wonder how you could ever learn all of the information being thrown at you. When it seems too much; take a breath. You can do this!

  4. Just graduated but I am sad

    MedicalPartisan replied to Ozzy84's topic in General Students

    Albeit true, you gave kind of a harsh response... The OP stated that the instructor explicitly stated the final would only cover chapters 19 and 20. My adult health final was, in fact, not cumulative,...

  5. Officially a second semester student nurse

    MedicalPartisan replied to anulevol's topic in General Students

    Congrats! Just finished my second. And wow; I thought our program was rushed. You only have four semesters? We have five over 18 months, including summer. Good luck the rest of the

  6. From Cop to Nurse

    MedicalPartisan replied to blueline's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Completed unrelated, but cops here have been treating me awfully unequal lately. I do not typically speed unless I am on the interstate. Normally my speed ranges from 75-90(ish) depending on my...

  7. Tips for a Paramedic starting ADN in 2 months

    MedicalPartisan replied to firemedic12's topic in Male Nursing Students

    All of the paramedics I know did exceptionally well in nursing school. While it is different, you certainly have an advantage. Don't stress too

  8. Best men's watch for male nurses

    MedicalPartisan replied to binggrad's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I plan on purchasing the Apple Watch on launch and will report back on how I like

  9. No emergency options! Alternate Preceptorship???

    MedicalPartisan replied to MrsLucky3's topic in Emergency

    I cannot offer you any help but it is not typical to precept in the ED. Does it happen? Yes. But your chances are slim to none. You typically have to know people at the hospital and even then you'd...

  10. This Blows Every Other ED Visit Out of the Water

    MedicalPartisan posted a topic in Emergency

    A new all-time #1 has surfaced for me and my career and I'd like to share... Young adult male presented to the ED last week with pain and swelling throughout various parts of his body. This kid...

  11. Imagery, the Antiemetic

    MedicalPartisan posted a topic in General Students

    It's not the mere question itself that puzzles me, but the rationale. Usually, when I don't know the answer to a question, I understand the rationale and can comprehend the teaching. But this just...

  12. Imagery, the Antiemetic

    MedicalPartisan replied to MedicalPartisan's topic in General Students

    I guess it makes sense in theory but I can't ever imagine using this for one of my patients who is actively vomiting. It doesn't seem too practical and I feel they'd get aggravated and upset as they...

  13. This Blows Every Other ED Visit Out of the Water

    MedicalPartisan replied to MedicalPartisan's topic in Emergency

    Update! A PA today told me that at one point he said 'I should have went with my original plan and tested it on the dog first.(!) I assume he wasn't enjoying the abscesses all over his body... This...

  14. What was the MOST ridiculous thing a patient came to the ER for?

    MedicalPartisan replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

    This was so outrageous I couldn't let it fall into the depths of oblivion and get consumed by this thread and thus, created a new one. Interesting... to say the

  15. "Your ER sucks!" and other pleasantries...how you handle them?

    MedicalPartisan replied to livingthedream77's topic in Emergency

    See you tomorrow,

  16. Shoes for Nursing School!

    MedicalPartisan replied to jday314's topic in General Students

    You probably have to wear white but they have these Adidas Springblades in many colors. I have the white ones as well. They're perfect! Not to mention different. Some people really dislike the style...

  17. What would induce you to participate?

    MedicalPartisan replied to bellini's topic in General Students

    I'd sacrifice the two hours for the chance of winning the mini (with retina display :)). Drop

  18. iPad and Online eBook Resources

    MedicalPartisan posted a topic in General Students

    Firstly, I hope this is the right forum; I didn't notice a "General" sub-forum not related to nursing so maybe AN doesn't have one. Anyway, most who know me would be shocked I am having to seek tech...

  19. paying for "life" while in full time school

    MedicalPartisan replied to juliesemer's topic in General Students

    I feel your pain and I do have a full-time job. I support myself solely and work three 12-hour shifts a week, Fri., Sat., and Sun. It's especially tough when you work your three days and then you have...

  20. Passed My First Test! Kind Of...

    MedicalPartisan posted a topic in General Students

    Technically I passed, which is great! That said, I'm not satisfied with my grade, something I know I'll have to get used to. Having said that, my program is not nearly as stringent as some of yours in...

  21. Passed My First Test! Kind Of...

    MedicalPartisan replied to MedicalPartisan's topic in General Students

    Our only option was to review our test as soon as we submitted it right there in the lockdown browser. I did choose to go back and read what I missed but trying to sit there, comprehend, and...

  22. Issues with a Clinical Instructor

    MedicalPartisan posted a topic in General Students

    Hello all. Here's the deal. I just started my first semester of nursing school. It's the summer term so everything is a lot shorter but we still have to get the same amount of information in -...

  23. Issues with a Clinical Instructor

    MedicalPartisan replied to MedicalPartisan's topic in General Students

    We still have 12-hour labs in place of our clinical days until we start clincals on the fifth week. I don't know why some are getting so offended when I've done everything in my power to be as...

  24. Select All That Apply

    MedicalPartisan posted a topic in General Students

    Hello all. I have a quick question. With 'select all that apply' questions, is there always going to be at least two answers? I've not yet come across one that only had a single

  25. Select All That Apply

    MedicalPartisan replied to MedicalPartisan's topic in General Students

    Yes, I've definitely had some answers that were all correct, but I've not yet encountered one with only a single correct answer. That said, I've only been in school for a month. Thanks for the...
