    Lol I think hummerlover refers to the

  2. What is a "passing grade" for your nursing program?

    Shayboo replied to aspiringrn1987's topic in General Students

    At our school, it is a 77% and its only based on four unit tests worth 20% each, a paper worth 10%, and the final is 10%. We still have to do skills validation, pass the dosage calc test each semester...

  3. Research paper

    Shayboo posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Can anyone help me figure out what this paper is asking for? We were told to look for a specific case study-I chose a case study on MRSA in a surgical patient, but for the life of me, I can't figure...

  5. Those Kind of Tears That Make Your Throat Burn

    Shayboo replied to nursey246's topic in Nurses Rock

    I love it-this is why I'm going into Nursing-to care for people in every aspect. My son has spent so much time in the hospital and a caring nurse could really turn the day around-they are the only...

  6. Shoes for Nursing School!

    Shayboo replied to jday314's topic in General Students

    You don't want to wear the same shoes from clinicals anywhere else! That has been drilled in our heads since day one-the "yuck" from the floors of hospitals aren't what you want on your feet going...

  7. a personal fear

    Shayboo replied to reka2014's topic in General Students

    Most hospitals have lengthy orientations that explain their policies and I've heard from many nurses that the days of "eating their young" so to speak are over, so there is always someone to go to for...

  8. Positive Experience with Social Networking?

    Shayboo replied to cracklingkraken's topic in General Students

    Our class has a private group page with just our class in it and I'm not a member bc I'm not a fan of social networking, but I've heard sometimes the over-achievers of the group have all the notes...

  9. Nursing School Orientation Day

    Shayboo replied to guest07/14/15's topic in General Students

    Some schools have planners available if you go to admissions and ask for one. My orientation they gave us lots of lists and sold some used uniforms-which by the way, snatch up! They are usually less...

  10. Did you take out personal student loans?..

    Shayboo replied to mag426's topic in General Students

    Wow-I didn't know that either. My school offered me a piddly 1,750 per semester:( thats not that helpful

  11. Prescriptions and Drug Testing

    Shayboo replied to ATBStudent's topic in General Students

    In our school, you take the drug test and then if you show positive for anything, you provide the RX. I will say that I was unaware until recently that if you take anxiety drugs such as Ativan, you...

    Congrats to you! Cheering for you here in

  13. Volunteering as a Student Nurse

    Shayboo replied to wanna_be's topic in General Students

    In our state-SC-I believe once you pass the first semester of nursing school, you can take the certification test to become a CNA or you can find a job as a "nurse tech," which is the same thing and...

  14. Advice for Passing Pharm

    Shayboo replied to Unequaledbeauty_30's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I hated Pharm, but it honestly is something you need your whole nursing career. Focus on the side effects and what you would do for the patient as with all nursing classes. Its not so black and white...

  15. Accounting for drug volume in IV infusions

    Shayboo replied to Ulahoopski's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    For our exams, we use the amount on the package. Example: Add 1.7mL of sterile water for a final concentration of 250mg/ mL So the amount would be 1mL=250mg. If the order was for 500mg-it would be...

  16. cant decide lpn vs rn

    Shayboo replied to sam1971's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would go for RN, but it all depends on what you want to do and where you want to work. I can't believe the pay difference is so small-here in SC I believe the norm for a LPN is about $12. Again, it...

  17. Trying to get into Nursing School

    Shayboo replied to Melarue's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would say to look into community colleges and then go on to get your BSN. Its going to be cheaper and you will be able to go on to work and (hopefully), find somewhere that will help pay for you to...

  18. Living independently while in Nursing school, is it possible?

    Shayboo replied to Lena M's topic in General Students

    Hi Selena! I just wanted to say it is possible. I am a full-time nursing student-taking 14 hours this semester, have two children (7 and 11), and work four nights a week 10-4 am. On top of that I have...
