I really goofed in school when I first started out and the community college here wont let students retake classes. So I have a couple of c's in my prereq's for nursing school. I was just wondering if somone knew of anyone that got in a nursing progr...

I did it and so can you! I only have my ASN by the way.. Good luck with everything!

I took the NCLEX RN yesterday and let me tell you I did not feel confident at all. I mean you hear the horror stories of people failing and all kinds of things. But I personally did about 50 questions a day and some days I did 100. I stuided Kaplan n...

Sending you an email!!! Thanks in advance!!

Congrats!!! How many question per day to you suggest, or how many did you do?

How did you study? What books?

Any updates??? I will be graduating soon and I am also interested in Neuro ICU, but of course shaking in my boots because it seems so challenging.

For me personally, I couldn't see myself working fulltime and going to school full time. Nursing school requires ALOT of studying and for me that would be too much. Not to say that you can't work at all, because I do work every weekend (20hrs). So if...

Alot of parents come to orientation when we had ours. I bought my mom, step dad. Its so sweet she wants to come, plus it will give her insight on how busy you will be! CONGRATS AND GOOD LUCK!!!!

I have a question, when I go to hang my IVPB, do I stop my primary bag that is running and then put in my secondary rate and volume or can it still be running? I went ove this numerous times in lab but for some reason cannot remember.

I agree with fluid and electrolytes being hard, but also in my class a bunch of us had a hard time with diabetes.

Hi this post is sorta old but I want to know if anyone has done a recent med checkoff and how it went. Could you also describe the sort of things the instructors would ask about the meds as well. Thanks I don't have this checkoff until February but w...

I got a b+ but its only my first semester. I have sooo long to finish. Good luck to those still waiting.

Anyone on here know the requirments for their lpn program at CFCC in Ocala? I am going to the info session but not for two weeks and was just wondering if anyone on here knew. THanks

I Passsed Yes!!!!!!!!!! Only Took Me Two Trys But Hey... I Got It.lol

:smackingf:smackingf I had my foley checkoff today also, unfortunatley I failed. I have retake in the morning though. I had a male and I didn't clean right and I also goofed and forgot how to remove sterile gloves properly!!!:smackingf :angryfire

daytonite: i recived my npr back because my instructor said one of my client goals isn't appropriate. i wrote " the client will void at least 120ml by 11am on 11-03-08. she said that he has a foley so that i can't write void and that i should concent...

OMG!! I am so sorry, I would be FURIOUS if that happen to me. Riddle me this why in the heck do you need a nonrefundable deposit to hold your seat in a nursing program? Its not like its a reservation for a hotel room or something I don't get it. I do...

Don't worry you aren't alone honey!! I am also a first year and I can't tell you how much I have forgotten. Its alot to learn in 2 years which is why nursing school is so challenging.

Point taken, thank you again I really appreciate it!

okay, awesome that works thanks so much. two more quick questions i also have two questions that ask how the patients diagnosis and hospitalization would affect him spiritually and psychologically. he didn't express any anxiety to me or seem sad or a...

well he came in complaining of a "burning" sensation when urinating and also pressure on his lower abdomen. he voided on 25mls. so the nurse performed a bladder scan and found >900mls in the bladder. in the h&p the doctors noted that his creat...

Yes he did have a foley cath, I should've said that sorry. Yes that sounds WONDERFUL! Thank you sooo much. I was thinking along those lines.

I need some help with figuring out a client goal. My patient is an 89 y/o male with Acute Renal Failure. My nursing diagnosis is Impaired Urinary Elimination. I know that my patients had an elevated BUN and Creatnine levels. My instructor wants us to...
