  1. I need help with a care plan for Chronic Confusion!!

    quirkystudent replied to AshleyNWesley's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I learned that writing out the interventions THEN finding the goal (wording) afterwards was far easier and it looks like you're going that route as well. I think I might be the only person that...

  2. Fun and enlightening discussion?

    quirkystudent posted a topic in General Students

    As a student and a nurse, what's the most important thing you learned while in school and on the job? Anyone care to share? I thought this could be fun because everyone's view on the idea of...

  5. free water

    quirkystudent replied to SimonTan's topic in General Students

    I always enjoy reading your posts. I knew it was more complicated. I have dubbed you the fluid queen. Your posts helped me pass my fluid test.

  6. free water

    quirkystudent replied to SimonTan's topic in General Students

    As far as I understand it's water that is necessary for hydration, in other words the water you would drink on a daily basis to prevent dehydrating yourself. For me that's roughly 2000cc/day. If I was...

  7. Didn't do as good as I hoped..

    quirkystudent replied to EmilyEmily's topic in General Students

    I didn't mean to start an argument over this. You're both right about the NCLEXs. I wasn't factoring that in. I asked a question and was patronized for it indirectly so of course I'm going to boast...

  9. Didn't do as good as I hoped..

    quirkystudent replied to EmilyEmily's topic in General Students

    The first question was an honest curiosity. I did not know the grading scale went that low for other programs. To tell you the truth it's a bit shocking. However my point stands. We are holding...

  10. Didn't do as good as I hoped..

    quirkystudent replied to EmilyEmily's topic in General Students

    I didn't mean it in a bad way. I guess my college just has higher standards. I know it's one of the toughest colleges in the state. I also assumed most nursing programs were around the same grading...

  11. Hands on learner needs help with study habits

    quirkystudent replied to quirkystudent's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Oh. I didn't update. My grade is pretty awesome now. I've got a 96 in pharm, 84 in med surg (not too happy about that but it's passing), and a 98 in clinicals. I wish we could do clinicals the whole...

  12. Didn't do as good as I hoped..

    quirkystudent replied to EmilyEmily's topic in General Students

    Are most grading scales that low to pass the class? Our program requires an 80 or higher or you're booted. 87 or higher to automatically be accepted to second year RN. Also that math. Oi... My 8 year...

  13. Single mother and nursing student

    quirkystudent replied to lakeisha87's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I have 2 kids, work 2 jobs, and go to the LPN program full time. I manage by having my mom watch them over nights so I can work and the one goes to daycare during the day while my other one and myself...

  14. Need help learning A&P

    quirkystudent replied to ILoveHealthCare's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    My saving grace was www.khanacademy.org. Seriously go check that site out. The guy who explains everything actually made it so he could tutor his nephew or something over seas. Other people found the...

  15. How do you deal with classmates disrespecting you?

    quirkystudent posted a topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I'm new here. I lurk often but this is my first post. I am currently in an LVN program in my first semester. I have ran into the issue of being the butt of disrespect from quite a few, if not most, of...

  16. Hands on learner needs help with study habits

    quirkystudent replied to quirkystudent's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I asked because I'm not doing the greatest and I know I can do better. I'm barely getting the minimum 80% I need to stay in the program. I do a bit of everything because I honestly don't know how to...

  17. I GOT IN!!!!! NOW WHAT?

    quirkystudent replied to mrsnurse2014's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    First thing I would suggest is trying to find someone with last years books to borrow or buy used. We had 27 books handed out the first day for a grand total of 1,500.00... Good lord try to save that...

  18. How do you deal with classmates disrespecting you?

    quirkystudent replied to quirkystudent's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Ah there are many many 19 year olds in the class. I remember being 19 but I never ever treated people that way even if I didn't like them. I guess my mom raised me better. Usually I am the type to...

  19. How do you deal with classmates disrespecting you?

    quirkystudent replied to quirkystudent's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Thanks guys. It does make me feel better to know that I am not the only person that has been in this position. I spoke to an instructor and I am moving to the front of the class. (Someone dropped so...

  20. How do you deal with classmates disrespecting you?

    quirkystudent replied to quirkystudent's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    There is one person that is nice to me. I try to stick close to her but it's not easy because we always get put in different groups and she doesn't sit anywhere near me. I don't want this to cause me...
