  1. Immunization Records?

    SilleLu replied to Miss.LeoRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Our school gave us the option of showing records or titers. Many students found titers weren't covered by insurance and fairly expensive, so just chose to be vaccinated

  2. D/Cing an IV

    SilleLu replied to happynurse49's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    If the main part that is covering the IV is a clear dressing: the ones we use are removed by grabbing a corner and stretching the dressing. This releases the bandage without pulling hair. Make sure to...

  3. Hospital CNA - What is your day like?

    SilleLu posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Just curious, could you tell me what the flow of your day is like? What are you responsible for as far as basic patient care vs. the RN, (i.e. do you do all the turns and toileting and answering call...

  4. No lunch for lunch break?

    SilleLu replied to sakiohma's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Why can't half of you take break at 2, and the other half at 2:30? If lunch is served 12-3, then you all can eat a hot

  5. Fired for posting on face book

    SilleLu replied to Lizzly's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    But what did it LOOK

  6. Med-Surg HELP!!!! D:

    SilleLu replied to jarielle22's topic in General Students

    Use an NCLEX review book, such as Saunders. Great study

  7. New nursing student advice

    SilleLu replied to AlyssaSUNYOrange's topic in General Students

    A dry erase marker and a sharpie. A couple Care Plan books (although I highly recommend checking these out from the library first to see which ones you like). NCLEX review books, such as Saunders....

  8. Is anyone else familiar with this? (sounds too good to be true)

    SilleLu replied to SaraMC's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There is a similar one in my area, no idea what the pay is, they call it a student tech. You do have to sign a contract that you will work for them for two years after you

  9. A&P II before A&P I ?

    SilleLu replied to biggolp's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would ask the professor, or if one isn't assigned for the course yet, any professor that teaches those classes. We had to take I before II, however ours just covered different material, so I would...

  10. Financial stress!!! GRRR

    SilleLu replied to its_meee's topic in General Students

    Private loan, or through school? We can go to Financial Aid through almost the end of the semester and increase our loan amount if needed, might be worth

  11. Were you guys allowed the use of a calculator when you took your dosage test?

    SilleLu replied to Wannabe_Doc's topic in General Students

    We had to do some longhand and calculators were allowed on others. What I though was crazy is that 80% was passing. So if I were to give you 10 meds today, you'd be ok with two of them being wrong??...

  12. Patient's responses to students during clinical days

    SilleLu replied to QueenAnnissa's topic in General Students

    Mostly very positive. I make sure to let them know that they also have their regular RN and that I have an instructor. Most like the extra attention. One, who didn't even have a student assigned to...

  13. What do you take to clinicals?

    SilleLu replied to i♥words's topic in General Students

    Most of us took a small bag (think small bookbag size or smaller) and were allowed to leave them in the staff lounge. Don't take anything you can't afford to lose. But the things you'll have listed...

  14. Preparing for 1st Semester of Nursing School

    SilleLu replied to RonnieDita's topic in General Students

    Get the Saunder's NCLEX book. Maybe not so much for fundamentals, but for med/surg classes it is great! The cd that comes with it has tons of questions to help you study for tests. Organize and clean...

  15. Have had an awful month.. kind of a rant.. hope it's entertaining

    SilleLu replied to Scrubs_girl's topic in General Students

    You got accepted at University!! You got a job!! You got a friend to help you out with your CNA renewal!! You turned 21!! There's always a bright side

  16. Random drug tests in nursing school?!

    SilleLu replied to Yolopilas's topic in General Students

    I had a pre-nursing student ask me this in the hallway last semester. My answer: "umm, don't do drugs and you won't have to worry about
