  1. I need tips for taking a manual BP please!

    Meeshie replied to fatrabbit's topic in General Students

    A suggestion - buy a BP cuff. They're pretty cheap off of Amazon. Practice at home until you're confident. Practice on your family.. your friends.. etc.. over time you'll develop the skill you're...

  2. Why are the floor nurses so unwilling to teach?

    Meeshie replied to 2bnursebeckky's topic in General Students

    I didn't realize until this post that not every facility charges to allow nursing students in. In Miami, the hospitals have a fee that they place on the schools. Outside of that some agreements...

  3. Chamberlain patho I

    Meeshie replied to Whitneygadson's topic in Chamberlain College

    It's not hard online if you're good at learning that way... it does take a lot more time, though. Online classes have a lot more 'busy work' than campus classes. The tests are harder, too. The online...

    Meeshie replied to pjen91's topic in Chamberlain College

    No... for Miramar it's Royal Blue. Cobalt Blue is the other Chamberlains (they got new uniforms and we weren't allowed to. long story.) However, if you just tell uniform advantage that you're from...

  7. My friend was asked to tell some advantages of male nurses over female ones

    Meeshie replied to kwfine's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The only thing I can think of is that because there are fewer male nurses then female, there are sections of our population that are not adequately served. Some religions (Jewish is one) do not care...

  8. Why are the floor nurses so unwilling to teach?

    Meeshie replied to 2bnursebeckky's topic in General Students

    Almost all the hands-on I've done as a student I've done without the nurse... and with my clinical instructor. Generally the nurses are much too busy to let you do something that would take them half...

  10. Why are the floor nurses so unwilling to teach?

    Meeshie replied to 2bnursebeckky's topic in General Students

    To some degree you can blame the facilities for this. While floor nurses aren't making any extra money to teach you.. the facility usually is. With a few exceptions, schools pay quite a pretty penny...

  11. STUDY? HOW?!!!

    Meeshie replied to kvn813's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There are generally a few ways that people remember things. Some remember by writing, some by reading, some by hearing, and some by speaking. You first need to determine which of these types is yours....

  12. High school senior for CRNA

    Meeshie replied to odpropofol's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    CRNA right now will take 9 years, give or take. They're talking about turning it into a doctorate, however. By the time you get there it might be more like 11 years. So either way you're in school for...

    Meeshie replied to sblanco10's topic in Chamberlain College

    I don't mind the questions. We used the Potter and Perry book for.. hrmm.. two classes. Fundamentals 1 & 2.. that was all. The book changes every class.... aside from one they've all been ebooks...

    Meeshie replied to sblanco10's topic in Chamberlain College

    Okay... one question at a time... Clinicals vary depending on what class you're in. Most clinical options center around the Memorial Hospital District. There are always a few options and when sign up...

    Meeshie replied to Cathyc28's topic in School, College Programs

    The board meets.. monthly? I think? So whenever you take the HESI.. the next time they sit they'll make a decision. It's usually not more than two or three weeks, though. I think it took about two...

  20. Failed Pharmacology

    Meeshie replied to ymillares's topic in General Students

    By your post I'm guessing... Chamberlain? I took Pharm online and it was brutal. Bruuuuutal. Yes, it's going to effect your GPA and yes, that could have later repercussions. Different Masters...

  21. How is Chamberlain Nursing Program? Can I work full time while in the program?

    Meeshie replied to sakin72's topic in Chamberlain College

    Not everyone manages to successfully hold down a full time job and get good grades. It depends on a million factors. I know people who manage it and I know people who failed courses at Chamberlain and...

  24. Chamberlain College of Nursing , Miramar campus

    Meeshie replied to sblanco10's topic in Chamberlain College

    I know that the FNP program won't accept someone at Chamberlain without an active unrestricted RN license in the state of residence. Whether they'd do provisional acceptance... no clue. I think this...

  25. Med/Surg & Pharm what to expect

    Meeshie replied to Kat2bRN25778's topic in Chamberlain College

    As to why Med-surg and Pharm are considered so hard? Part of it is just... what they are. Pharm covers.. well.. pharm. It's a lot of straight memorization. If you're bad at that.. it's hard. Ontop of...
