1. Pharmacology Textbooks

   AMICURN replied to Just_Kidney's topic in General Students

   Lehne was the manufacturer that we used for our pharmacology textbook. It will go in depth in pharmacodynamics for you. I've found that its best to try to understand HOW a drug works rather than we give for x and memorize side effects. If you underst...

2. Failed, venting, don't know what to do =\

   AMICURN replied to Eithanhunt's topic in General Students

   Don't forget that you can talk to the Vice President of instruction and president of the college. If they are of no help, you can even bring it up to the school board during one of their meetings. If you have written communications documenting some o...

3. Advice for Grad, Jobs: Fact or Fiction

   AMICURN replied to i♥words's topic in General Students

   You can specialize, but it will obviously be determined by your grades, preceptorship, instructor recommendations (maybe), facility, interview skills and location. I realize a lot of ADN students have difficult finding jobs with an ADN, but I started...

4. Prescriptions and Drug Testing

   AMICURN replied to ATBStudent's topic in General Students

   I realize this is a week later, but you do not need to disclose the faculty. You also, likely, do not need to disclose to the person who takes your urine from you. I have never disclosed any medications as it would be a HIPAA violation (their words ...

5. Do you think eating in the classroom is rude?

   AMICURN replied to Alnitak7's topic in General Students

   If you do not have adequate break time, you should consult your faculty. It is a failure on their part because breaks allow for consumption of food, drinking beverages, using the bathroom, and giving your brain a rest so that you may focus adequately...

7. Specialist

   AMICURN replied to Besh's topic in General Students

   Personally, I would choose something that I enjoy rather than will advance my career (unless this advancement is something you would enjoy drastically more). If they're both about equal, I would probably go for what will advance my career. As an asid...

8. ATI 2013 cutoff scores

   AMICURN replied to christina731's topic in General Students

   Are you referencing the ATI Comprehensive RN Predictor? If so, this is what I've found: RN Comprehensive Predictor® 2013 Individual Score Predicted Probability of Passing the NCLEX-RN® 80.0% - 100.0% 99% 77.3% - 79.3% 98% 74.0% - 76.7% 96% - ...

9. Do you think eating in the classroom is rude?

   AMICURN replied to Alnitak7's topic in General Students

   I fail to see how this has anything to do with being compassionate as a nurse. These are different environments, and sometimes rules are there that people don't necessarily like because they're for a greater good. We're all on equal footing in nursin...

10. Do you think eating in the classroom is rude?

    AMICURN replied to Alnitak7's topic in General Students

    I find it to be highly rude and offensive, especially when there are rules specifically against it. The classroom is a place of learning. It's not your personal kitchen or restaurant. People did not pay money to listen to you cling, clang, crunch, sm...
