  1. Thank you gift for unit that hosted my student clinicals

    dura.mater posted a topic in General Students

    It's almost the end of the semester and my clinical group wants to thank the nurses and CNAs who have been so great to us. Our first thought was food but my nursing instructor forbade us from bringing...

  2. Thank you gift for unit that hosted my student clinicals

    dura.mater replied to dura.mater's topic in General Students

    Prof is very health-conscious and concerned about the percentage of obese nurses- pizza and bagels were also vetoed but maybe coffee and tea would go over well. And fruit and cheese/crackers sounds...

  4. If a pt. is allergic to codeine, can she have morphine (sulfate, PO)?

    dura.mater posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Working on prepping for my first Sim Lab and our patient is allergic to codeine but has an order for morphine sulfate, 15 or 30 mg PRN for pain. She is 85 with Hx of HTN, MI, CHF. I know codeine...

  5. If a pt. is allergic to codeine, can she have morphine (sulfate, PO)?

    dura.mater replied to dura.mater's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    All I have on her H&P about it is under allergies it lists codeine- on the physician's orders he has her listed as NKA which is one reason I wondered if it was an error. She's exactly 50 kg and...

  6. Silly question.. stethoscope color for school?

    dura.mater replied to BellemRN2b's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Ohmygoodness she *said* it was a silly question. I quite like the raspberry myself but do check if your school has requirements. We're excited, it's an exciting time, and no one is currently telling...

    dura.mater replied to YassQueen's topic in School, College Programs

    @YassQueen One more question- how did you get the new document on CastleBranch? I can't figure out how to remove the old one and make room for the new

  8. Chabot, Merritt, Ohlone Fall 2017

    dura.mater replied to YassQueen's topic in School, College Programs

    @YassQueen thank you, that was helpful- it allowed me to insist that the information does exist and after some bouncing around I have it now. Oy veh! One more question- how did you get the new...

    Any luck? I'm having the same issue. It would have been so nice to have been told this stuff since the

  11. Merritt College or Chabot for Fall 2017?

    dura.mater replied to NurseSellsHomes's topic in California Nursing

    I wound up getting into Ohlone and Chabot and not Merritt, so I had a different choice to make, but I was also attracted to the campus and facilities at Merritt but turned off by the high attrition...

    dura.mater replied to YassQueen's topic in School, College Programs

    I let Ohlone know that I would not be accepting yesterday so someone should be getting moved off the alternates list- Chabot class of 2019 here we

    dura.mater replied to YassQueen's topic in School, College Programs

    I've not sent in my form because I'm pretty sure I'm going with Chabot- I don't want to make more paperwork for them. I did see that typo in the subject line but all the paperwork from every school...

  14. Chabot, Merritt, Ohlone Fall 2017

    dura.mater replied to YassQueen's topic in School, College Programs

    No, I haven't seen anything at all on an in-person orientation. I looked at the student handbook seeking more information like you are but some of what's in there contradicts what I was told at...

  15. Chabot, Merritt, Ohlone Fall 2017

    dura.mater replied to YassQueen's topic in School, College Programs

    Does anyone have any input on choosing between Contra Costa, Ohlone and Chabot? I'm very lucky to have been accepted to all three. I am leaning away from Contra Costa simply because of distance from...

    dura.mater replied to YassQueen's topic in School, College Programs

    @kbear09 I'm not sure how all that works, to be honest. Perhaps because I had already passed the

    dura.mater replied to YassQueen's topic in School, College Programs

    @yassqueen One damn point! Yeesh, sorry to hear it, and here's hoping you get Chabot so you get to relax sooner rather than later :) I haven't heard back from Merritt yet- did you hear by letter or...

  19. Chabot, Merritt, Ohlone Fall 2017

    dura.mater replied to YassQueen's topic in School, College Programs

    I have my fingers crossed for you! This is my first year applying- I could have applied last year but I really needed to work another year and save more money. Super grateful to have made it in the...

    Have you taken the practice tests on the ATI website? I found those very comparable to the actual

  21. Chabot, Merritt, Ohlone Fall 2017

    dura.mater replied to YassQueen's topic in School, College Programs

    Thanks! They are primarily awaiting TEAS results which everyone I talked to has yet to take. I talked to two people who did not pass last year and are trying again so there will likely be a few people...

  22. Chabot, Merritt, Ohlone Fall 2017

    dura.mater replied to YassQueen's topic in School, College Programs

    I'm actually off the alt list and in the program! Attended a welcome reception yesterday that was very informative. I have taken the TEAS and did well so that's a load off my mind. Class of 2019 here...

  23. Chabot, Merritt, Ohlone Fall 2017

    dura.mater replied to YassQueen's topic in School, College Programs

    I applied at these three and Contra Costa as well. Fingers crossed! I already heard back from Contra Costa and am on the wait list. How do these schools rank in terms of your preference, assuming you...

    dura.mater replied to dreamnursing2's topic in School, College Programs

    I started looking over things a couple months ahead of time but I only really got into the material about three weeks in advance, and then I studied like for finals. My main tips are to buy the...
