    Student Nurse "Help me!" Threads

    Carpediem1012 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Carpediem1012 replied to happynurse49's topic in General Students

    I guess I have a different take on "messes" and "dirty work" thanks to our professor. She says she prefers to care completely for her patients whenever possible and expects us to do the same. Her...

    Growing Up Unvaccinated

    Carpediem1012 replied to wtbcrna's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Even as a person who does like to go organic, avoid additives and preservatives in place of (gasp) sugar etc. I do vaccinate my kids and am glad I have. Balance is the key. Taking a healthy lifestyle...

    Carpediem1012 replied to zifa0813's topic in General Students

    Always take a systems approach. Really understand what the class of drugs do. Then they make sense. For example the diuretics. Where do they act? Why? What are they trying to get rid of and how? This...

    What's the point!

    Carpediem1012 replied to flowerlilly's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you want it enough, you will do it. It's not going to come to you. You are going to have to grab it. I understand life circumstances. I am 38 and just starting second semester. Mom of two. Both...

    While I also did very well first semester, have previous education, slept fairly well, and did not actually cry (lol), don't kid yourself about the first semester. I think it's a bit of "break in"...

    Thank you GrnTea. I will share it if others would like to read it as long as it does not break any rules of my school. Since I wrote it, I am assuming it is ok to post
