1. Medication Math Problm

   TLynn89 replied to Lauren415Young's topic in General Students

   For gtt/min, you set it up like this: ?gtt/min=X gtt/mL x Y mL/hr x 1 hr/60 min = Z gtt/min The first numerator should always be the unit that you're trying to get to (in this case, drops), the last...

2. color of clinical scrubs?

   TLynn89 replied to OnlinePersona's topic in General Students

   We wear navy scrubs with white shoes, white lab coat (which I think I wore two or three times?), and a BIG patch on the shoulder, along with embroidering below our names (also embroidered) identifying...

3. How to study properly?

   TLynn89 replied to ABDinelli's topic in General Students

   Do you print your PPTs? I've used mine as a study guide if the professor has them available. I just print them out and add to that during the lecture. Then, when you're reading the chapter, add notes...

4. Nursing Students - How often do you complain to your significant other?

   TLynn89 replied to 757RN's topic in General Students

   Going into third semester, not much. It's hard for him to relate, and talking about my frustrations to someone else that I'm friends with in my program usually works better, because they know exactly...

   Hi! I'm 26, a mother of two younger children (8 and 4), and I'll be in orientation for my third semester on 8/19, and starting lecture on 8/25. Hopefully I'll be an RN by this time next

6. What is a day or week like in nursing school?

   TLynn89 replied to tbranch9023's topic in General Students

   I got it all out of the way before I started nursing school, and I'm so glad I did. Having the understanding that I do now of A&P and microbiology has made this semester easier, I think. I...

7. What is a day or week like in nursing school?

   TLynn89 replied to tbranch9023's topic in General Students

   Ours does not. You do not pick the time or the clinical site. It's like they draw them out of a hat, but everyone in the same semester has clinicals at the same time (so far), just the class/lab...

8. Nursing Diagnosis, correct and in order?

   TLynn89 replied to Ashhleynicole's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

   I can't comment on the accuracy (not my patient), but the rest of it looks good. Our professors make us do the PES (problem, etiology, signs/symptoms), so the order looks right. As far as the...

9. What is a day or week like in nursing school?

   TLynn89 replied to tbranch9023's topic in General Students

   I'm in the middle of my Fundamentals semester (1st semester, only six more weeks including this one!), so my schedule so far is different from some of the others you've seen. Right now, it goes like...

10. Study Habits/Tips

    TLynn89 replied to TLynn89's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    When I study, I have a multi-step process. Before I get to lecture, I check the syllabus to see what we're going to be covering in that lecture. Then, I take my own notes from the book on that...

12. 3.01 Applying

    TLynn89 replied to USFEli's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you don't get in this time and have another year to wait to re-apply, you could go back and take those classes that you had the low grades in again (Calc, A&P I, Nutrition). If you could bring...

13. Study Habits/Tips

    TLynn89 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have a little under two weeks until my Spring semester starts, and I went to campus today to get my books and I was thinking through my supplies to make sure I had everything else I needed. That,...

14. What would you say about these type of grades?

    TLynn89 replied to Yardena7's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Nursing applications at the school here go through an audit first, this is to weed out anyone who isn't eligible. Next, applicants are sorted by GPA, highest GPAs are accepted first, then at the...

15. Semester Starts Monday...what Do I need

    TLynn89 replied to FuturePedRN2016's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This too. I always have index cards in my bag, when a teacher gives me something like an equation I need to memorize (came in handy for chem), I put it on a card and in a little index card box in my...
