  4. Burnt out on studying - how to recharge?

    Summer Days replied to Baubo516's topic in General Students

    I was going to say exactly what this poster said. Breakdown your studying assignments into small tasks. This will help you focus on accomplishing the task at hand rather than looking at the whole...

    Summer Days replied to twss2323's topic in General Students

    There are two weeks left until Spring break for me. Between now and then I have a maternal nursing final and another final for my elective class. Planning to head down south to see a

  6. Noticing students failing

    Summer Days replied to mikasa's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    We started out with 50 students and now we are down to 45! Some students choose to discontinue nursing school not because they failed but rather it dawned on them that this might not be what they want...

  7. Feeling down and out about Nursing school

    Summer Days replied to angelhearty15's topic in General Students

    You have to keep an open mind and your eyes on the goal. Long term goal is to be a nurse. For now it's to complete the next school term. Take it one school term at a time. And when you feel down and...

  8. Etiology of general anesthesia?

    Summer Days replied to JoseQuinones's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    You did not provide us with the medications you were assigned to. Anyhow, on Wednesday I had the opportunity to float in the OR/PACU. I saw a laparoscopic vs open cholecystectomy. In this case the...

  9. venting!

    Summer Days replied to bartmc1's topic in Male Nursing Students

    You may have to let it go because as one of my instructors once told us "the rubber meets the road once you hit the floors." You may cheat your way thru nursing school but when you hit the world of...

  10. New nursing student

    Summer Days replied to Devinegift's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Please know you won't be able to read all assigned readings. Instead focus your study on what is covered in class. Practice nclex questions like your life depends on it (and it does). Read and reread...

  12. Insulin Therapy

    Summer Days replied to suppaduppaCNA's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I would check at 1400. As with all medications, you want to check the patient's reaction to medication at the earliest time possible because safety is always a concern. You are better off being safe...

  13. NCLEX Review before nursing school...

    Summer Days replied to doublehighcman's topic in General Students

    It never hurts to read ahead of time. And since you have yet to start nursing school my advice would be to do NCLEX for fundamentals. You do need to have read the chapter for which you are doing the...

  14. This semester is giving me the smack down - failing another test

    Summer Days replied to ArrowRN's topic in General Students

    I cannot overemphasize how much practicing questions will not only improve your retention of the material, but also increase your chances of getting good grades. Want to pass? Practice. Want to...

  15. This semester is giving me the smack down - failing another test

    Summer Days replied to ArrowRN's topic in General Students

    Great! Now get you a book that has nclex questions (you want one that has rationales, the Saunders one is great). You see the Reviews and Rationales one has only a few questions at the end of each...

  16. This semester is giving me the smack down - failing another test

    Summer Days replied to ArrowRN's topic in General Students

    I am a huge fan of rationales and I focus my learning around rationales. Because my pharmacology class was utter useless (I mean every word of it), I decided to go about learning medications a...

    Summer Days replied to ICUnurseEst2015's topic in General Students

    If it'll make you feel better, my med-surg I instructor (I am now doing med-surg II) once told us that she maintained C's in nursing school. She's now a nurse practitioner. It must be remembered that...

    Summer Days replied to ASPEN.88's topic in General Students

    We are advised not to do pre-clinical during shift change so any time between 9am - 5pm is acceptable. Most of us arrive at the hospital at the earliest time possible and pick a patient with high...
