3. Question about nursing diagnosis 'related to' factors

   HisKonstantine replied to RagingRaptor's topic in General Students

   If this were my care plan, I would choose related to immobility because that's the most likely cause of skin breakdown. Yes, being overweight and receiving radiation can also cause breakdown but it...

   HisKonstantine replied to miems630's topic in General Students

   Well .. at least you're honest with yourself knowing that you weren't able to just wing it. I spent three months preparing for my TEAS. I suggest getting yourself a study guide specifically for the...

5. What to expect at Mental Health Placement

   HisKonstantine replied to RN Annalee's topic in General Students

   HisKonstantine replied to LONDA17's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

7. How do you stay sane during nursing school when you've failed a check off and you have to

   HisKonstantine replied to GodIs082010's topic in General Students

   You let yourself be upset for a little while (seriously. a very very small amount of time.) and then you shake it off and conquer it. Skills check offs are intimidating no matter how confident you...

8. Need something positive!

   HisKonstantine replied to FTRRNKT's topic in General Students

   In my program, the GPA wasn't too important. They were more interested in how well we had done in our pre-reqs and how long ago they were finished; the older, the

   HisKonstantine replied to cosmicnurse's topic in General Students

12. Ebook or Textbook?

    HisKonstantine replied to Injection Nurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I like to have my resources in eBook. I absolutely have to have my textbooks as a physical copy. I stare into those pages for hours. My eyes would fall out of my head if I tried to read a screen for...

13. Note taking in class....how do you do it.

    HisKonstantine replied to Valcorie34's topic in General Students

    I switch it up a little bit every semester depending on the instructor's teaching style and the content. This semester is Advanced Med-Surg so there's a lot of content. I'm typing my notes in class...

    HisKonstantine replied to Golfer87's topic in General Students

15. Online statistics class

    HisKonstantine replied to britthohenbrink's topic in General Students

    I didn't take stats online, I took it traditionally on-campus. It doesn't involve a lot of math so I found it to be easier than previous courses. I could have done better in the class over-all but I...
