    Zyprexa_Ho replied to ktaylor727's topic in Florida Nursing

    Tips for level 1: You have to read the book to do well. Read everything, all the boxes. I would even suggest reading and taking notes from the book instead of paying attention to lectures or power...

  6. Online BSN

    Zyprexa_Ho replied to Heatherbergy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's going to be really hard to learn all you can online, have time to practice skills and be competent enough to do them on patients, and then clock enough clinical hours to meet state mandates. You...

  7. Financing second degree BSN

    Zyprexa_Ho replied to dalik1's topic in General Students

    How will you be starting May 2017 if you can't finance it? I had financing issues with my nursing degree going to be my second degree, so I had to go the ASN route. I'm going to take more time but...

  8. How to decrease new grad anxiety

    Zyprexa_Ho replied to cafegoer's topic in Medical-Surgical

    Identify what you don't know, and learn it. You can't learn everything at once, so as long as you're improving and you're not making the same mistakes multiple times, you're doing well. Recognize...

  9. i'm still a student at school and realy want to be a nurse my biology marks isn't good

    Zyprexa_Ho replied to anastacia.marlene's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Are you in high school? Most programs don't look at high school grades, but college level prerequisites. You need to identify *why* you are not doing well now, so the same issue doesn't get in your...

    Unicorn Magic said "This is not entirely true. I am at the VA. We go to Mease Countryside for OB, All Childrens for Pediatrics, and somewhere else for psych." Well yeah, how many vets do you know are...

  11. SPC Nursing Program Spring 2017

    Zyprexa_Ho replied to ktaylor727's topic in Florida Nursing

    Just gotta drop this here... I would only go to Galen or some other for-profit school as a last resort. I recently met a tech at my clinicals who went to Galen for Nursing 1, had a health issue and...

  14. Thinking of Switching to Nursing from Finance

    Zyprexa_Ho replied to Eileenrey's topic in General Students

    Picking a major is a very personal thing. It sounds like you need to do some more research as to what a nurse does and what you can

  15. (Manual BP) Can't find systolic through palpation. What am I doing wrong?

    Zyprexa_Ho replied to dumb_'s topic in General Students

    Honestly, it just takes time to get used to. I have been a CNA for a long time and I was never taught this method until this semester when I started nursing school. Finding that brachial pulse is...

  16. Mental health patients and smoking

    Zyprexa_Ho replied to lhall92's topic in Emergency

    I have a SMI and I used to smoke until recently... I don't think there's really anything that can help this situation besides chemical restraint, unless you get a lucky one that will agree to being...

  19. Is an answer to a question "subjective data"?

    Zyprexa_Ho replied to Raccoon-Eyed-Nurse's topic in General Students

    I would say the patient saying "no" when you ask them if they know how to prepare a meal for an anemic person would be subjective data. But if you ask them "what foods would you prepare for your diet...

  20. Is an answer to a question "subjective data"?

    Zyprexa_Ho replied to Raccoon-Eyed-Nurse's topic in General Students

    Let's say you ask a diabetic patient to demonstrate how to inject insulin and they do it incorrectly. That would be objective data that a knowledge deficit is

  21. Nursing diagnosis

    Zyprexa_Ho replied to WestchesterNewYorkRN's topic in General Students

    Do you have evidence that he is ready to learn? You can't just say that he has a problem and therefore he is ready to learn. There needs to be something from interacting with him that indicates that...

  23. Should I get a second bachelor's?

    Zyprexa_Ho replied to Morena1's topic in General Students

    I couldn't disagree more. An entry MSN is going to be treated no differently than a BSN. The only difference in your education is going to be the increased cost for the entry MSN. OP, how are you...

  25. NCLEX/TEST type question.

    Zyprexa_Ho replied to Zooey72's topic in General Students

    No. The answer is *usually* not "tell the physician," but if all your other options are illegal (beyond your scope of practice) or put the patient in more danger, then the answer is going to be "tell...
