    How to "calm" down autistic pediatric patient?

    carti replied to carti's topic in General Nursing

    what nursing school do you go to where they don't emphasize reading comprehension? I want her in bed at times so she doesn't hurt herself or doesn't get all her feedings leaked. I understand I can't...

    How to "calm" down autistic pediatric patient?

    carti replied to carti's topic in General Nursing

    The only "plan" I was given when I took the job was to give her meds and do your best not to get burnt out by the little girl lol. I only had 1 shadow shift and the nurse I was paired up with told me...

    How to "calm" down autistic pediatric patient?

    carti replied to carti's topic in General Nursing

    I agree working with her is sometimes regarding such as when I help her count to 10 and she starts to smile so wide. But when I say that I like to "keep her in her bed", I say that for her safety. I...

    I need help deciding which prerequisites to take together!

    carti replied to PAsmalls's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you are scared to take Intro Bio and Chem or any class for that matter, what makes you think you can hack PA school where you will learn entire patho processes and treatments in a 3 week span for 1...

    In trouble afraid of being kicked out don't know what to do

    carti replied to Sweetb90's topic in General Students

    This is so stupid and I don't know why they would waste their time (and yours) to do a stupid, pointless meeting. Everyone in my nursing school took pictures like that when we did our OR rotation....

    Ati predictor

    carti replied to jcarlson0625's topic in General Students

    Didn't study whatsoever and I got like a 74% on the ATI predicator which translated to like a 93%-95% chance of passing the NCLEX. I took the NCLEX 2 months after nursing school and I didn't study at...

    Fraud? Should I report?

    carti replied to MotoRN34's topic in Home Health

    mind your own business. If it doesn't affect you at any way, don't worry about another man's (or woman's) pockets. Why would you report anything? what good could possibly happen?

    Can’t pass the NCLEX

    carti replied to Kmmamea's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Failing both times at 75 questions, is a strong sign of lack of content knowledge, not test taking skills or tricks. Who are we kidding? OP needs to re-"learn" alot of first/second semester topics...

    Is nursing still right for me? HELP!

    carti replied to DGStudentRN's topic in General Students

    Do you want us to tell you that you aren't made for nursing so it will help you quit easier on yourself? If so, then go ahead. There is 100 threads asking this same question. I just hope if you ever...

    Intro to Chem or Microbiology 1?

    carti replied to BuriedSet127's topic in General Students

    Take the easier professor which is more likely to give you an A = better chances to get into nursing school. My micro professor was old as dirt and gave the same tests for 100 years that everyone had...

    List of good practice books for nursing school?

    carti replied to Nursing_1011's topic in General Students

    Saunders is pretty much the only legit NCLEX practice book that has hard questions you will see in your exams. ATI is good too if your school makes you pay for it. As for advice, nursing school...

    Can’t pass the NCLEX

    carti replied to Kmmamea's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    OP, it sounds like you aren't strong in content review. It's not that you aren't a good test taker, it sounds like you just don't know the material. Forget ATI. Did you learn anything in actual...

    Non-Hospital jobs for new grads?

    carti posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hello, I'm trying to find a non-hospital job for new grads. I've read that some places such as Home Health don't hire new grads because new grads can't be " on their own". I don't know if that is a...

    I don't want to do nursing anymore??

    carti replied to Igevorgyan's topic in General Students

    Sucks to hear OP. Like others have said, I'd take some time off ( about 1 year) and find a CNA or other tech job. That way, when you re-apply, you can say you worked in the health care field to...

    carti posted a topic in General Students

    I don't know if that is the right word I'm looking for. Why is it considered "ok" and acceptable for patients to decline male nurses caring for them or even just for procedures such as putting in a...

    Why is it "legal" for patient to decline male nurses?

    carti replied to carti's topic in General Students

    Is it just me or is nursing school not as difficult as everyone makes it sound?

    carti replied to Nicolecn's topic in General Students

    Nursing school is only hard if you have kids, work 20+ hours a week and commute long hours, or go to a horrible program. I don't have none of the above so I wouldn't consider getting my BSN that hard....
