  1. Rutgers vs. Drexel

    direw0lf replied to Tomato378's topic in General Students

    It's no contest imo. Rutgers is a party school, with different adjunct professors every week. Some people are fine in that situation though and love big schools and like the reputation of Rutgers. But...

  2. Needlestick yesterday, should I report it?

    direw0lf replied to I like cats's topic in General Students

    I was still blinking my eyes over how she repeated the dose of insulin.."the dose likely leaked out of the skin" Likely? And you repeated the full dose? Without telling a nurse or your instructor? ETA...

  3. My Daughter is Interested in Nursing

    direw0lf replied to Kamilah Coney's topic in General Students

    How do you know your children would have been bullied? Anyway the thing that I was concerned with was how you said "should I turn her into a professional nursing student before she enters high...

  4. People are telling me that I should not tell people that I want to be a Nurse

    direw0lf replied to Wannabenurseneko's topic in General Students

    Maybe you'd be an inspiration to other CNA students instead of provoking jealousy and competition? Maybe you'd find a CNA student in the same boat as you, and you 2 can help each other all through...

  5. Question for anyone who takes colorful notes!

    direw0lf replied to misskayy's topic in General Students

    Staedtler triplus fineliner 36 colors. They don't show thru on the back of your paper (using regular white printer paper, notebook or flashcard) You can highlight over them and they don't bleed....

  6. Should I fight for this grade

    direw0lf posted a topic in General Students

    Hey all, In my very first ever nursing class, a 2 credit intro online class, I earned an A. However, our platforms were switched and the teacher put my final grade in as a B+. Several other students...

  7. I failed out of nursing school midway, now what?

    direw0lf replied to Jkliu888's topic in General Students

    Maybe it depends largely on the college? My college works with autistic individuals and my classmate has ADHD. It's a tremendous amount of support given, in fact, more than my high school gave to...

  8. Should I fight for this grade

    direw0lf replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    Thank you! Ok so....I finally took time to calculate the WHOLE GPA. I had to do it with all the classes I've ever taken in college. A change from B+ to A, brings up my GPA 0.01. (where's the paper bag...

  9. Should I fight for this grade

    direw0lf replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    Wow that sounds extreme! The school I'm in is small and intimate, so maybe that makes a difference. I will ask my teacher who's also my adviser tomorrow what she thinks. Thanks for the responses...

  10. Should I fight for this grade

    direw0lf replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    I definitely considered about future references I may need! But I already applied to grad school and have my references (only 1 can be from a professor) so I don't really need that. And for jobs I was...

  11. Is nursing school and the clinicals really that tough?

    direw0lf replied to BuriedSet127's topic in General Students

    Remember people who are doing well in nursing school, aren't as likely to go on a message board and post about their wonderful achievements as much as someone who needs help/advice and/or needs to...

  12. quick question - liver hemorrhage

    direw0lf posted a topic in General Students

    A question asked what are the signs of a complication of a percutaneous liver biopsy, so that's hemorrhage, and my choice was between 2 answers one was "HR 112, BP 100/60, RR 28" and the other was...

  13. quick question - liver hemorrhage

    direw0lf replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    I noticed I think a lot about what I'd do in real life and it's not how it should necessarily be on test questions/NCLEX so I gotta get more disciplined! Like I am thinking more like about...

  14. LPN Student Help

    direw0lf replied to Nurs907's topic in General Students

    I use keywords to study everything. So say you are studying pancreatitis. I'd write: Pancreatitis- elevated amylase and lipase (enzymes), dx by CT scan, S/S midepigastric pain, Cullen sign(blue...

  15. Getting kicked out of program

    direw0lf replied to Shailat's topic in General Students

    Oh man something similar happened to one of my classmates in clinical. We were giving presentations and she was in the front and put her head down on the desk during the presentations. She applied for...

  16. How did/do you pay for nursing school and expenses? I need some advice.

    direw0lf replied to justSara's topic in General Students

    You'll lose a lot of money you put into the car, but I agree that it will be worth it to sell. It sucks. But better then getting into more loans/debt imo. And then yes..scholarships...look at your...

  17. Thoughts on Pre-Made Pharm Flashcards (MediQuik)

    direw0lf replied to DotFlower's topic in General Students

    I like the NCLEX-RN drug guide by Kaplan ( buy used for under $10) Each page is like a flash card and you can write in stuff important from your Abram's/Davis ones. I had gotten Pharm Phlash and...

  18. Student Help.

    direw0lf replied to RickyC71's topic in General Students

    I recently got a PCA job in a trauma unit. It is not realistic if one thinks that they can become a trauma nurse without experience in nursing in another area first. If by patch up you mean suture you...

  19. What is a challenging specialty

    direw0lf posted a topic in General Specialties

    I'm not sure how to start this off without sounding so freaking arrogant or something so I do apologize if I come off in a way that sounds like I think I'm too good or better than others - I do not. I...

  20. Nursing Student...Transfer French & Pre-Med

    direw0lf replied to EstherSN's topic in General Students

    You could keep your options open and take the biology and math courses you'd need do well on the MCAT and get into med school, although you'd need a certain number of volunteer/experience hours too...

  21. Need advice! BSN or Diploma

    direw0lf replied to LBee127's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Some hospitals will pay for your tuition to get the BSN. BSN bridge programs can be 100% online, which makes it convenient when you have a toddler to keep up with and will be working as an RN! BUT I...

  22. What should I do?

    direw0lf replied to CSydnor's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You'll gain a lot more knowledge as you go through school about these things, but generally pediatric nursing jobs are harder to come by (more in demand) right out of graduation. However I've talked...

  23. Overwhelmed by books

    direw0lf replied to NatashaDW's topic in General Students

    I did the study buddy thing too, only we took notes on chapters we picked. So if I read and outlined chapters 1,2,3, she did 4,5,6. But this is tricky, you need someone reliable who takes good notes,...
