  1. what is the first question a male nurse asks to an another male nurse?

    ArceusAlpha replied to selva tito's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I usually talk about sports and gym. I had a male clinical instructor and I was the only male student in the group; and sports was one of the things we talked a

  2. Has Being a Male Benefited you MORE or LESS

    ArceusAlpha replied to Socal_EMT's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I'm a third year student. During seminars, I would find that instructors/professors would remember all the male student's names because there were so few of us. During labs, the lab tutors always...

  3. Log Narcotic Before/After

    ArceusAlpha replied to ArceusAlpha's topic in General Students

    Yeah I'm taking the BScN here in Canada. We do have clinicals all throughout 4 years combined with core subjects within the first two years. We don't do any paper charting in terms of medications; we...

  4. Log Narcotic Before/After

    ArceusAlpha posted a topic in General Students

    Alright, I'm a third year student and it has always been consistent on my part that whenever I need to give a narcotic to a patient I must do the following: 1) Assess pain and rate to determine...

  5. Log Narcotic Before/After

    ArceusAlpha replied to ArceusAlpha's topic in General Students

    Yeah, and I'm just more interested on how common this is more so than what is right or wrong. I will never tell on a nurse :) I'd hate to be THAT guy Unless you steal my

  6. Log Narcotic Before/After

    ArceusAlpha replied to ArceusAlpha's topic in General Students

    I'm sorry we have our differences. Like I said, I don't tell any of the RN's/LPN's how to do it, as long as they respect the fact that I do what I do. For our hospital placements, it's really not much...

  7. Log Narcotic Before/After

    ArceusAlpha replied to ArceusAlpha's topic in General Students

    Woah, sorry I didn't mean to make it out as if they are terrible in any way. I don't know what you mean by first semester student? My program is a bit different from most BScN programs out there. This...

  8. Impact of RN cuts at your workplace?

    ArceusAlpha replied to Chelsea Liu's topic in Canada

    I respect LPN's and RN's equally, but I really hate how there is some kind of hierarchical drama between them. I'm still a BScN student, but when I have clinical placements, I never associate their...

    ArceusAlpha posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Hello, I am having a really hard time answering this particular question because of the mEq. So the question is: The order states to add 50mEq of KCL to 100mL of NS and run it at 10mEq per hour. The...

  10. Urgent! IV drip rate?

    ArceusAlpha replied to ArceusAlpha's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    [50mEq/100mL] = [10mEq/hr] = 20mL/hr gtt/mL = 60gtt/1mL x 20mL/1hr x 1hr/60min = 1200gtt/60min = 20gtt/min Did I do it

  11. Urgent! IV drip rate?

    ArceusAlpha replied to ArceusAlpha's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  13. My school now test with HESI.

    ArceusAlpha replied to Tanya Love's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    I wonder why the science portion is only worth 40% when the science of nursing is a big part of what is a nurse. Math on the other hand, it's not like we do complicated algebra or differentiation on...

  14. What type of laptop should I get?

    ArceusAlpha replied to Miss-kate's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would recommend getting a laptop with a touchscreen. I found it incredibly useful because I can use a digitizer pen and draw diagrams, equations, written examples, among other things. My laptop...

  16. Pre nursing in Canada

    ArceusAlpha replied to pateldolly's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    Which University do you plan on applying into? I go to the University of Alberta, and there's no such thing as a "pre-nursing" student. At least, unlike many other universities out there, you can go...

  17. Officially a Pre-Nursing Student

    ArceusAlpha replied to HappyGal73's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wow! It's already competitive enough to get into Nursing from my faculty. I can only imagine how much more difficult it is getting into it in that

  18. Stereotyping Male Nurses

    ArceusAlpha replied to lvansick's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Yeah I'm in nursing school. Being a male, I was scared about all the stereotypes... but all the girls always compliment me about how wonderful male nurses are. I've never heard of anything negative...

  19. Officially a Pre-Nursing Student

    ArceusAlpha replied to HappyGal73's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have a question for you all... You guys can't go directly from high school to university to the BScN degree? I find it odd that there's a "pre-nursing" like a "pre-med" where you get a BSc to get...

  20. Patient vs Client

    ArceusAlpha posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I had this discussion in my seminar class about addressing "patients" as clients. The reasoning behind it was because the word 'patient' had a connotation that people were 'sick' or whatnot....

  21. Are people shocked you're still a bloke outside of work?

    ArceusAlpha replied to CNDave's topic in Men in Nursing

  22. University of Alberta Vs. Grant MacEwan

    ArceusAlpha replied to Ace28's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    I'm not sure why people complain about the CBL program, other than the fact that they complain about "time consuming' while forgetting about the purpose of that program. I personally enjoy my CBL...
