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 denominator should be the other unit of measurement...

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 us as students. I have seen multiple other school...

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 from there that weren't in the lecture material to...

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 how I'm feeling.

5. Calling all non-traditional nursing students!!!

   TLynn89 replied to ShontaFutureBSN's topic in General Students

   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 year!

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 already knew all of the physiology stuff they were tryi...

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 times vary.

8. Nursing Diagnosis, correct and in order?

   TLynn89 replied to Ashhleynicole's topic in Student Assist

   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 nursing diagnoses, my professors require that we use onl...

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 this: Monday: Day "off", the off is in quotation m...

10. Study Habits/Tips

    TLynn89 replied to TLynn89's topic in Pre-Nursing

    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 material. When I get to class, I go back to my notes a...

12. 3.01 Applying

    TLynn89 replied to USFEli's topic in Pre-Nursing

    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 those up to an A or a B, it would bring up your o...

13. Study Habits/Tips

    TLynn89 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

    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, and a post that I replied to got me thinking about ...

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

    TLynn89 replied to Yardena7's topic in Pre-Nursing

    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 bottom of the accepted GPA pool, say two people both h...

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

    TLynn89 replied to FuturePedRN2016's topic in Pre-Nursing

    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 bag, so I know where to find it.
