    Thoughts on nurses who graduate nursing school calling themselves nurses before the NCLEX

    LoriRNCM replied to pmabraham's topic in General Students

    I graduated yesterday, and my whole family is referring to me as a nurse. I have corrected them many times, but now I'm just not gonna worry about it. I (and many others in my class) did decorate my...

    3.4 gpa-doomed?

    LoriRNCM replied to iheartcells's topic in General Students

    Wow, I guess my program didn't get the memo about slack community colleges, or maybe they wouldn't have just kicked my a** for two solid years to get my ADN. I graduate tomorrow and let me tell you,...

    LoriRNCM replied to victoriax's topic in General Students

    I don't think you need to retake it. You'd be surprised how much you remember. Maybe just review your textbook this summer. Nursing Fundamentals will have a brief review of anatomy when you go over...

    LoriRNCM replied to Run student's topic in General Students

    If your text books come with an online quizbank, I'd use that. It definitely helped me immensely. I also hand write all power points onto note cards, the big note cards. That helps reinforce it in my...

    Thinking about becoming a nurse...at 40!

    LoriRNCM replied to margaretann's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I graduate in 3 weeks and I am 51. Talk about a difficult journey. It's been so hard, and so worth it. I'm a reasonably intelligent person, but nursing school has been like intellectual bootcamp. Two...

    What would you have done? Need advice.

    LoriRNCM replied to RookieRoo's topic in General Students

    Good job, you did the right thing. Imagine if something had happened. I take so much time pulling meds from the pixys because instead of just grabbing one from the drawer that pops open, I read the...

    Amen to all of that, Kris! I love the IV story. I would totally do that. If someone says DC an IV...... hey, that's a skill I've got down pat. I'm all over that. We are almost there!!!!!! 28 days!!!!...

    LoriRNCM replied to lharley132010's topic in General Students

    A medical dx? Really? OK wait, now that I recall, on a concept map in mother baby we had to list the medical dx (like C section) at the top of the page, then list our nursing dx and interventions and...

    Was my professor out of line?

    LoriRNCM replied to kimmyanne02's topic in General Students

    the catholic comment set me back..... But the rest of it, I am thinking maybe what she means is that just temporarily, you need to put school first. In that vein, doing so means making sure there are...

    LoriRNCM replied to natmanzo's topic in General Students

    Well, I'm final semester, and though I didn't let horror stories scare me, I can tell you that they have absolute merit. The only relatively easy semester was 2. One is a culture shock so it's hard...

    Anxiety and Lab Performance

    LoriRNCM replied to koverton5's topic in General Students

    My lab group still feels this way during SIM labs, even though we aren't doing skills check offs anymore in fourth semester. Your skills check off will become scenarios where you have to be the nurse...

    LoriRNCM replied to JACSN's topic in General Students

    You will be practicing assessments and doing CNA duties, most likely. Don't know about your assignments, that is relevant to your school. We started care plans fairly quickly. If you have skills you...

    Preparing for NCLEX

    LoriRNCM replied to MarkPendleton's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    My school does Kaplan, which I hated all through school (focused and integrated testing, 112.00 bucks a semester), but now doing the NCLEX prep portion, I appreciate it a little more. It's making me a...

    I know, I can't help it, Esme12! I just know what a panic math got me in before I got a handle on DA! So I figured I'd show her how to set them up........ Probably didn't help much though.... I had to...

    LoriRNCM replied to long2beanurse's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'm sorry. How long do you spend on studying? And is this your first two tests in the program or is this a new trend for you in the program? I spend about 40-60 hours studying for tests. And though...

    You should be able to do number 1 in your head. 200 ml over 4 hours is 200 divided by 4 which gives you 50 ml/hr. Number 2 set up using DA: ml/hr= 1000ml/1 L x 1 L/30 meq x 1 meq/1 hr = ? (cross...
