  1. Preferred Nursing Shoe?

    Rosa2Little replied to Linz8's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I have the Dansko Marcelle (Mary Jane) and they are great. I also have the Sonja and the Professional -- which can bother my instep after a long day ( I have a somewhat wide foot and a high in-step)....

  2. Weird habits you've picked up since starting Nursing school

    Rosa2Little replied to Kiringat's topic in General Students

    Driving down the highway and reading medical acronyms in the license plates... oh look there's THR followed by a DVT! Ironic? Or perhaps I've been studying a wee bit too

  3. Too nice to be a nurse?

    Rosa2Little replied to law3576's topic in General Students

    "You're too nice to be a nurse"??! I say we add this to the stupid statements people make, like "you are so smart, you ought to be a doctor". Go right on, being nice, smart, caring, efficient, etc......

  4. Help with a med calculation.

    Rosa2Little replied to Bonny619's topic in General Students

    Flow rate (gtt/min) is used if you are regulating the IV infusion by gravity. If you are using a pump, you simply set the pump to ml/hr. You have 50 ml (includes the 1 g of Ancef that is required)...

  5. Report Sheets

    Rosa2Little replied to Kaydee's topic in General Students

    Hi Daytonite, I really like the doc you are working on. Good Flow. I would add in code status, and precautions/safety issues. On the meds part, a nursing considerations column would be nice....

  6. What kind of study area do you have/use???

    Rosa2Little replied to luvmy3kids's topic in General Students

    I bought the Mikael corner workstation from Ikea yesterday. I just finished setting up. So far, I think it will work well. I'm so excited to have some space of my

  7. Funny video - StudyBack

    Rosa2Little replied to group_theory's topic in General Students

    Thanks! I needed a laugh this

  8. What is the DEAL with all the group projects?

    Rosa2Little replied to BoonersmomRN's topic in General Students

    Perhaps I am being too optimistic as to the skill set of today's student nurses (but I hope not). I will say that for the future of the nursing profession, these skills should be obtained either...

  9. 100% dosage calculations?

    Rosa2Little replied to Coloradogrl's topic in General Students

    If you were the patient and your nurse had to mix and draw up your insulin, what % of the time would you expect his/her calculations to be correct? Just another way of thinking about

  10. What is the DEAL with all the group projects?

    Rosa2Little replied to BoonersmomRN's topic in General Students

    Learning to be part of a group -- managing a project, alternately leading and following is an important part of life (I might also add the importance of solid public speaking skills to the mix). As a...

  11. What is the DEAL with all the group projects?

    Rosa2Little replied to BoonersmomRN's topic in General Students

    of course. you will sometimes have co-workers, clients and even bosses who are less than pleasurable to deal with. you smile, roll up your sleeves and deal with it -- the adversity should remain...

  12. What is the DEAL with all the group projects?

    Rosa2Little replied to BoonersmomRN's topic in General Students

    With all due respect, the difference between nursing school projects and real world projects, is that in the real world if a team member is not pulling their weight and they do not produce, they will...

  13. Becoming an NP with little to no nursing experience??

    Rosa2Little replied to Blurr156's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I am currently doing the BSN program full-time after leaving the high tech field. The program at my school allows me to take up to 3 grad level classes that will count toward my master's as well....

  14. Wild Color Stethoscope?

    Rosa2Little replied to tofutti's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    There's enough seriousness on the hospital floor that can't be helped. Why not give your patients something to smile

  15. The evil reign of PowerPoint Lectures

    Rosa2Little replied to agoodusername's topic in General Students

    PowerPoint can be a great tool, if it is used to augment the material. When professors simply read from the slides, or worse, have a slide show comprised of the tables or boxes that are in the text,...

  16. Do you have to write a lot of papers?

    Rosa2Little replied to tofutti's topic in General Students

    In my program there are many papers to be written. We are forewarned that if we are planning to continue into the grad program, there will be more papers and more research. However, I would not...

  17. Nursing school with small children?

    Rosa2Little replied to merrick's topic in General Students

    Great advice from Marla. All moms need to take that advice! My kids are 18, 16 (not so little), and 4. Yes, it's possible. Study, study, study, and then head to the playground and

  18. What is your passing percentile?

    Rosa2Little replied to Achoo!'s topic in General Students

    BSN program. No nursing class final grade less than an 80 (no rounding) and a Math for Meds final exam grade of 90 or better to progress in the program, no other class less than a 75. A 3.0 or...

  19. Nursing 101 Question - How would you answer this?

    Rosa2Little replied to julsywulsy's topic in General Students

    I would have answered "A". There was simply not enough information provided in the question to choose "C" -- particularly if the question was "what should be the nurse's first action", as the NCLEX...

  20. To cap or not to cap!

    Rosa2Little replied to Alice b.'s topic in General Students

    If men currently make up something like 9% of the nursing work force, and the overall goal of the profession is to increase the # of nurses, expand the role of the nurse, and welcome diversity, how...

  21. Is it too late? Any advise?

    Rosa2Little replied to Fionasmommy's topic in General Nursing

    Great advice! :yeahthat: Remember, you are going to be 33/34 (or insert any age here) whether you have a degree or not. Age should never hold you back from your goals. Signed, a 40-year old junior...

  22. What nursing shortage????

    Rosa2Little replied to MelRN13's topic in General Nursing

    Are you assuming, or are you 100% certain that the applicant did not submit an on-line application as well? I have used on-line applications and have found that in some institutions they are received...

  23. Statistics

    Rosa2Little replied to JaxiaKiley's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you did okay in algebra, I think you'll be okay with the math. :yeahthat: You will need to understand the nursing journals, and you will use it yourself in Nursing Research class if you take any...

  24. A&P 1 Study Tips??

    Rosa2Little replied to Leeann337's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In addition to flashcards, I found it helpful to organize my notes, handouts, etc. in a divided binder. I organized each divider by system -- i.e. bones, muscles, cardiac, lymphatic... Continued with...

  25. Need help on blood pressure skill

    Rosa2Little replied to AllieRat's topic in General Students

    Daytonite, I think you should consider getting your PhD and become a nursing instructor. You have a real knack for teaching as evidenced by your posts on many
