I'm very confused about finding IV push rates. I look them up in my drug book, but I keep feeling like it's missing information even though I bought the one that's on the syllabus. Here's some I have found (most in my drug book), and I'm hoping someo...

Thank you!

We haven't started this semester's clinicals yet. We're supposed to look these up in our drug books to use for a check-off before clinicals even start. I can't get a straight answer on exactly where to find them other than the drug book on the syllab...

All of my instructors have PowerPoints for each unit exam we have. I use the powerpoints on my computer during class and add any extra notes. I let that guide my reading in the textbook. Anything the professor emphasizes/repeats a lot, I make sure to...

So, I'm always seeing threads on allnurses about medical mistakes made on TV/movies. Before I started nursing school, I didn't catch too many of them. But I was just watching Nurse Jackie, and I noticed her hang an IVPB at the same level as the prima...

I would never advise this. What if your "carpool buddy" doesn't show up? Or is late/sick? Your clinical instructor won't care, you'll still be in trouble for it. Plus, it's no one's job to be your chauffer, and you risk that people will get tired of ...

Here's my experience. I don't mean to scare/discourage anyone without a car who wants to go to nursing school, but I have to be honest. I started my 4 year university the semester before I started nursing school. I was finishing up my last pre reqs t...

I'm finishing my first semester next week. I didn't study anything before the semester actually started because I didn't want to get burned out before the semester even started. I just bought all the supplies I would need, got my doctor's appointment...

So one thing I've noticed with nursing school is that we practice skills with/on each other a ton in class. To be honest, this way of learning just doesn't work for me. I need quiet in order to concentrate and really learn what I'm doing. It just mak...

I have to do a group presentation, and my group has a google PowerPoint that we can all edit and work on at the same time. I opened the PowerPoint today, and someone from my group had already looked up and put in information that I was supposed to do...

I just don't think you should base your opinion of nursing on just one day at clinicals. Once you learn more skills and get checked off on them, there will be more stuff that you'll be able to do. Then you might enjoy it more. Plus, when you graduate...

Hi all! Did anyone else apply to this school? It's the only one that I applied to, so I'm super nervous as I wait on my acceptance/denial letter! I messaged the Facebook page to ask whether or not they have sent out letters, and on May 12 I got a rep...

Just got an acceptance e-mail, I am so thrilled! :)

I didn't ask about the e-mail thing, but everyone else I know who has applied before has gotten a letter in the mail. I found out that in 2015 and 2016 the applicants didn't get their letters until around June 13, but hopefully we'll get them sooner ...

I'm only a nursing student, so maybe I'm wrong, but I can't see any problem with it as long as the patient wants it done and as long as the nurse doesn't have other more important things to be doing (like administering meds or checking vitals or some...

I'm not taking any classes this summer. Instead I'm just using the summer to relax and be class-free until I (hopefully) start the nursing program in the fall. So far I've been spending my break waiting on my acceptance/denial letter to the program, ...

The same thing kind of happened to me the other day. My grandad brought over a really thin envelope from my school to my house so I was thinking "oh my God, I really hope it's not my nursing school letter because it'd be a rejection letter since it's...

BUMP Really hoping to connect with other applicants

That's cool, nice to meet you!

I've gotten really into exercising lately! I walk on a treadmill usually for about 40 minutes a day. I won't start my nursing program until the Fall, but my plan then will be to just work out when I can. I'll take advantage of the weekends which will...

True, my wait isn't nearly as bad as yours! Hopefully we'll both find out something soon, and good luck to you as well!

So I applied to my nursing program in January. The application deadline was April 1, and I was told we would hear something by the middle of May. I know it's almost here, but the wait is killing me. My birthday is Friday, and I'm really praying that ...

Thank you, and good luck to you as well!

I just took my last final, the semester is over! :)

The deadline for my school's applications has finally passed, and the semester is over in 2 weeks. Now just the long wait until sometime in May! It's getting closer though!
