  1. selling ATI books?

    shock-me-sane posted a topic in General Students

    I was just wondering if anyone had success selling their ATI books/DVDs on ebay or elsewhere? I don't want to keep the things and really need a couple bucks.

  2. care plan rationale?

    shock-me-sane posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I am going into my second quarter in january and I have heard rumors that we will be required to do a care plan once a week. I don't find them horribly difficult, but I always have such an issue...

  3. weird question - menstrual cramps

    shock-me-sane posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I was asked by a friend why menstrual cramps (for her) often include loose stools. I have no idea. I tried to google on the physiology of this but have come up short. any

  4. dealing with perverted patients

    shock-me-sane posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am only a nursing student, but have a job at a hospital as a patient care assistant. I float all over the hospital and many times end up being a 1:1 sitter for patients. I can't count the number of...

  5. 4.0 all four semesters?

    shock-me-sane replied to brittney140's topic in General Students

    I don't know to be honest. Not a single person in my class made it through with a 4.0. Our first quarter the highest grade was a B+, so that pretty much made that not possible for everyone. I hope you...

  6. HOPKINS: 20 minutes into the show

    shock-me-sane replied to HopeItWorksDNP's topic in General Nursing

    I had high hopes about this show. But they fell short. The only reason that I did like it was the real life situations of the patients. And I don't think this will make it in the general public. Not...

  7. selling ATI books?

    shock-me-sane replied to shock-me-sane's topic in General Students

    ATI was helpful in testing, yes. What I hated about the program was the fact that we got graded based on the tests rather than it just being a tool. We did not do virtual

  8. Burning Of The Uniforms.....

    shock-me-sane replied to RheatherN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    we did the uniform burning and it was awesome. Also burned a copy or two of our leadership book. We had an instructor that was horrid. It was very cathartic. pic of a burning

  9. Are you scared of a dead person?

    shock-me-sane replied to gwapalicious's topic in First Year After Licensure

    when you see dead people it isn't in the morgue (you take them there), so it isn't like movies you see of pulling bodies out of the fridge and such. I don't mind dead people. A lot of times it is...

  10. My hands shake!

    shock-me-sane replied to Ang_RN's topic in General Students

    I used to shake a ton. Once I somehow managed to "throw" a syringe when I was trying to draw up a med in front of my instructor. Thankfully it was at the med cart and she didn't give me a hard time. I...

  11. Student Athletes Nursing

    shock-me-sane replied to jst81161's topic in General Nursing

    I would say that it would be close to impossible. One of my friends was a part of the D2 softball team and had to quit so she could complete NS. The time and travel involved in sports will be a...

  12. critical thinking test by ATI

    shock-me-sane replied to gaajr1's topic in General Students

    we had to take that. I looked at my ati results and the areas it graded on was Evaluation Inference Explanation Analysis Interpretation Self-regulation It was 3 years ago since I took it, but I do...

  13. Clinical supervision by instructors

    shock-me-sane replied to AOx1's topic in General Students

    For me I wouldn't say it was the norm. I had a bad clinical instructor first year who would hide in the conference room and grade papers. Other than that I don't have many complaints about clinical...

  14. west coast vs east coast

    shock-me-sane posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am about to graduate nursing school in a week. yay! But anyhow. One of my friends got accepted to a prestigous university for an NP program. I heard that the east coast is much more progressive than...

  15. west coast vs east coast

    shock-me-sane replied to shock-me-sane's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry I should have been more clear. The dean of our nursing department told the student that they are much more progressive on the east coast and she will have some work to do to "catch up". I...

  16. slanted articles

    shock-me-sane posted a topic in General Nursing

    I recently came across this article. http://www.sbsun.com/search/ci_9373327?IADID=Search-www.sbsun.com-www.sbsun.com I can see how someone without medical background can read this article and then I...

  17. Gre!!!!

    shock-me-sane replied to ZuZuTrauma's topic in General Nursing

    good luck! I took it last August and got a 1330, but I am applying to different programs. If you have been studying since april you should be fine. My only suggestion (which I didn't do) is look over...

  18. most controversial medications

    shock-me-sane replied to defeatedcreek's topic in Patient Medications

    http://www.formularyproductions.com/blackbox/ I had to go to a meeting a few weeks ago on black box meds. Interesting

  19. No one dies in OR

    shock-me-sane posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am not yet an RN (hopefully in a month or two). I work in the ICU as a tech, and have for close to a year. It seems that the OR doesn't let anyone die. When someone is headed south the quickly send...

  20. No one dies in OR

    shock-me-sane replied to shock-me-sane's topic in General Nursing

    wow. I never meant to be offensive, but I guess I was. I don't think I am exactly jaded as a bit more paranoid about surgical procedures than I would have been in the past. No disrespect to anyone, I...

  21. I'm new here and have a few questions!

    shock-me-sane replied to EricaSAFJAF's topic in General Nursing

    I am at the end of nursing school. Several of my classmates have secured jobs in L&D. I think that nursing is an incredibly dynamic field, you have so many options and can find a niche that suits...

  22. Is this wrong? Death and Dying

    shock-me-sane replied to Karynica, RN's topic in General Nursing

    no way, not wrong at all. It brings the human aspect into nursing, which can be something forgotten when learning all the "right" things to do. Dealing with grief of the family is something we need to...

  23. What is a nurse tech?

    shock-me-sane replied to candiceena's topic in General Nursing

    not too sure, but I am called a healthcare tech. I am a nursing student who is a glorified CNA who does

  24. Medical Clearance for Clinicals

    shock-me-sane replied to Training2bRN's topic in General Students

    if you are stable mentally on your meds, I don't think you should consider bringing it up. I doubt that is a question on the paper that needs to be turned in. When I did my physical it was mainly...

    shock-me-sane replied to KimmbaFNP's topic in Nursing Student Assistance
