    ItsThatJenGirl posted a topic in General Students

    I have my med admin test tomorrow and I'm doing drug sheets for the drugs on the list we've been given. One is a loop diuretic. One of the things we need to know is the adverse effects and how we...

    Does Anatomy & Physiology help you in nursing?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to KStudentNurse70's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    And muscles were a breeze compared to nerves. Worst test grade I've ever gotten. Histology gets easier the more you practice it - there are so many slides out there to study. I always look for the...

    Quick ? about diuretics

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to ItsThatJenGirl's topic in General Students

    We are taught the generic name. I just used the brand name because it's a drug I'm familiar with it. I should be using generic though, since that's what we're tested on, so thanks for reminding me

    How has nursing changed you?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to thoughtful21's topic in General Nursing

    I'm just a baby student, but we've already learned about cultural competency and how inappropriate this type of behavior is. I wonder how EGspirit would feel if someone from another religion - did...

    How to confront a disrespectful professor

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to MamaNanii's topic in General Students

    I understand your point of view better now, thanks for explaining. I've heard the phrase "don't mistake my kindness for weakness" lots of times, so maybe it's a regional thing? I don't find it...

    Homelessness

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Nursing

    I found the HESI to be very straightforward. I'm cheering for you - just take care of yourself. Your mental health is at least as important as your HESI

    RN to BSN program with research focus?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to parenthetical's topic in General Students

    My state school offers a BSN with a research distinction. The research is done over the summers though - so it's a traditional program in every other way. And the research program is very competitive....

    Homelessness

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Nursing

    With all respect, you're not in nursing school yet! So much may change between now and then - try not to stress about your living situation after you graduate. Save as much as you can, and if living...

    Getting yelled at can really ruin a perfectly good day, can't it? I'm so sorry you had a rough start. Hopefully it's all downhill from here on

    I am really fortunate that we get one day off a week (Wednesday). There are two "big" lab days with no classes after for this semester - the med pass one and the foley catheter one. We still have work...

    Seeking Advice about ADN. Please Help!!

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to brynryn17's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's a bold statement. I wouldn't get a nursing degree if you don't want to be a nurse. The degree path is unique and pretty intense. I just did a quick search for your area, and it looks like you...
