  1. Ceil blue Littmann Classic III stethoscope

    You can always get a stethoscope sleeve! (Or is that considered a reservoir for germs?) Edit
  2. Can they do this?

    I guess I can't shake that it speaks for her character. But if I pretend that doesn't exist that it's just about policy. The problem is that a school took 6 months to determine 3 failures. Questions...
  3. Guitar elective

    I was in the same predicament. It was recommended I didn't take piano which was good advice but I took piano and am glad I did. It's one hour a week and I think it helps me relax and helps me think....
  4. Please check me, quick head to toe!

    Forgot heart sounds? Lymph nodes? And provide privacy
  5. Can they do this?

    How do you figure? The OP hoped she'd go unnoticed and knew the policy. How will she carry this over into the nursing field? Would you want a nurse who would hope that no one catches her doing...
  6. Can they do this?

    If you made a mistake as a nurse, and it wasn't caught until 6 months later, would you still be accountable or the hospital for not catching you sooner? I have had a ton on my mind too and so has...
  7. Pleural effusion vs pneumonia

    I had a question that says you examine a pt and note increased rr, chest expansion decreased on left side, dull to percussion over left lower lobe, and crackles over left lower lobe. The answer for...
  8. Pleural effusion vs pneumonia

    Thank you! I didn't understand fluid all
  9. What do you say when a friend and classmate asks to see your answers or papers? My mom called me a pushover and maybe. One girl, also my friend as in hanging out outside of classes, asked to see my 5...
  10. My teacher has let us know that we may be given different grades. We all have peer evaluations to hand in for our group. IMO...I think if you were late 10 minutes and did work when you got there, the...
  11. I always recommend getting this book https://books.google.com/books?id=zHpRYbGaQFcC&printsec=frontcover&source=gbs_ge_summary_r&cad=0#v=onepage&q&f=false If someone wants to get an...
  12. Severe doubts about being a nursing major

    Hold up. Your fears are all normal that I bet every nursing student or prenursing student has had. What's going wrong is the degree of your fears and anxiety obviously. But take each fear and they're...
  13. Is A&P 2 more difficult than A&P 1?

    Well for me it was all about the teacher. For A&P I I had a first time teacher who read us the power points word for word. I asked a gazillion questions though or she'd have really stuck with just...
  14. Getting a C in Anatomy :(

    Is it going to matter after this semester whether the teacher liked you or not? It won't. Would have been nice, for any needed letters of recommendation, but hopefully you work on making a good...
  15. Low energy/sadness during free time/breaks?

    Would be a good idea to go for a walk or some other outdoor activity so you keep your endorphins up maybe? My breaks feel pretty far in between lol..when I get them they feel nice but I do understand...
  16. Should I make a stink about this?

    That's how all of my teachers open ended questions have been...I mean what more would you have wanted short of giving you the answer? I'm serious. .how do you think she should have asked the question...
  17. PH and the mitocondria

    My first thought was no. I'm going to ask someone who's a chem genius and get back to this though. Here's some more thoughts though: What is the pH in the mitochondrial matrix and why? | Student...
  18. Most important nursing classes?

    I'm in Fundamentals my lab teachers told us assessment skills are the foundation for a good nurse. We've been leaning the interview/health history and physical exam for every body system. Some things...
  19. How to apply to nursing school

    I'm in a university in nj ..it was the closest to me. But I went to a community college first to pull up grades. I just felt like you were stressing yourself when I read your first post. I guess...
  20. How to apply to nursing school

    Clear your mind of those thoughts like "I want to drop everything." If you want to be a nurse and are that passionate for that goal then you have to step back and figure some things out: 1. Are you...
  21. Am I Too Old to Start School?

    I respect my older classmates!!! It's never too late to go back to school. I love seeing 30+ in college..so glad when anyone any age can have the chance too and attain their
  22. Should I drop A&P I?

    Sounds like you'll be on top of things now! When I was doing an HEENT(head, ears, eyes, nose, throat) exam in front of my lab teacher she asked me to name the muscles of the neck and bones in the face...
  23. Allied health

    I was going to choose an allied health profession. Either medical scientist or sonographer.. especially pediatric or neuro. It wasn't what I really wanted to do though. With all due respect why would...
  24. Should I drop A&P I?

    Was it your studying tactics or nerves? A&p I got a few colors of poster board and printed out or drew pictures of tissues, organs, etc. Just making the cards helped retain the info. For nursing...
  25. A C+ student to be a future nurse?

    I was one of those not good high school students. I can't even say C average more like C-. I barely graduated. I went to a CC got straight A's and was desired by all the schools after that. It really...
