  1. Wait... What?

    LJR89 posted a topic in General Students

    ATI pharmacology test is in my near future... How the heck do I study for this when everything sounds/looks like gibberish? Bring on the advice all you wise and experienced nurses and future

  2. Age and nursing school

    LJR89 replied to tiny_dancer's topic in General Students

    No, not everyone finishes school in 4 years. Not everyone gets in there first try, not everyone knows they even want to be nurses until they are much older. Don't worry about being normal, just worry...

  3. The Second Week

    LJR89 replied to pinksnowflakes's topic in General Students

    A lot of times, for me anyway, trying to use NCLEX answering strategies really messed with my head during the first semester. It made me think that my instructors were trying to be tricky when the...

  4. Age and nursing school

    LJR89 replied to tiny_dancer's topic in General Students

    You'd be one of the younger ones in my program, but we have a pretty wide range of ages. Youngest is 17 (pseo) oldest is in her

  5. Nursing school admissions essay help!

    LJR89 replied to alissa13g's topic in General Students

    Besides a couple grammatical errors that would be easy to fix, a problem I see with this is that you make nursing seem like a consolation prize almost. You said multiple times that you're...

  7. Why no IM injections??

    LJR89 replied to kistigirl84's topic in General Students

    My guess is because muscle is more vascularized, but I don't think I've ever been told about that before,

  8. study group or nah?

    LJR89 replied to Nurseades2b's topic in General Students

    Excellent point, glad you mentioned that. The ladies and gentlemen in my groups might be a little more generous than some for allowing me in so seamlessly. I got lucky with a great

  9. study group or nah?

    LJR89 replied to Nurseades2b's topic in General Students

    I felt pretty neutral about study groups all of my first semester, until it came time to study for finals. At that point everyone had already learned the material initially but reviewing that amount...

  10. controlling nerves during lab check-offs

    LJR89 replied to wooten3955's topic in General Students

    One thing I wish I would have done after my first semester is not only practicing until I had it down perfect. But also thinking through what I should do if I do goof something up. That way I wouldn't...

  11. SROM question

    LJR89 posted a topic in General Students

    My final yesterday asked (more elequently than I am) what is the next thing to do after SROM in a healthy/low risk pregnancy. I narrowed down my choices to either: 1)Document or 2)check fetal...

  12. SROM question

    LJR89 replied to LJR89's topic in General Students

    And I didn't remember an answer that involved either a vag exam or checking for a prolapsed cord. But I suppose they could've been options I just didn't read close

  13. SROM question

    LJR89 replied to LJR89's topic in General Students

    I did not have a choice that involved checking the color/consistency of the fluid. The third one might have been call a physician. I guess I just took that one off the table right

  14. SROM question

    LJR89 replied to LJR89's topic in General Students

    I should have picked the heart rate. It felt like the right answer. And everyone here seems to agree too. But my instructors always to tell us to document normal findings, so I figured SROM is normal,...

    LJR89 replied to LJR89's topic in General Students

    Thank you, makes perfect sense. I was leaning towards the heart rate because if the cord but I always think they are trying to trick me lol I picked document, and feel a little silly now

  16. Do any of your teachers give out final exam study guides?

    LJR89 replied to Creedyfbaby's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    My instructors don't make study guides. But it's pretty common in nursing schools for instructors to give you objectives for each chapter at the start of a unit. Do you have a list of those. Or are...

  17. Future Rad Tech

    LJR89 replied to natd11's topic in General Students

    It really depends on where you are going to school. When I was gonna be a rad tech that would have been fine where I was at, but as someone else said it wouldn't be ok at another school. Can you call...

  18. How long did you study for the TEAS?

    LJR89 replied to Salinnax3's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Less than a week >90 I just used the ATI study guide. I bought it about a month before the test, browsed through it, realized I felt pretty confident about the material. I knew I just needed to...

  19. Weird timing??

    LJR89 replied to Ally33007's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    You have the study guide already? Have you looked through it? Take some practice tests, and see how much you already know! If it's a struggle then maybe you should wait and tackle the test after...

    LJR89 replied to melissak95's topic in General Students

    I definitely think that relaxing and enjoying the free time that you have is the best advice. but if your like I was and that just isn't possible because you're too excited/nervous. Then I suggest...

  21. Tips for a new nursing student?

    LJR89 replied to Mbro5's topic in General Students

    It's also my second week, and I too, was falling behind. I went in and spoke to one of my instructors during her office hours to ask about what I should prioritize and any advice she had on studying....

    LJR89 posted a topic in General Students

    Indeed. My first semester of nursing school we are having some sort of test the first day after orientation. And obviously, we all can probably assume, it's not graded or anything. But im just...

    LJR89 replied to Future_Nurse17's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    At my school they took the grade from the college I was currently attending. Which was actually a lower grade than my previous campus, but that's a long story lol
