    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Issaiah1332's topic in General Nursing

    HESI vs. TEAS

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

    Math, for me, was a LOT of fractions - reducing, converting to decimals, ratios, etc. It was much easier than I expected it to be. The science was harder than I expected it to be. Some of it was very...

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Adrianaboydlewis's topic in General Nursing

    You're correct, but she didn't say her AAS was in nursing. It could be in something like Administrative Assistance or Dental Assisting. I think that's where the confusion is

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Mariah177's topic in General Students

    My first advice is always this: talk to your teacher. Figure out together where your weak spots are. See how realistic they think getting an A or B is at this point. Ask if they advise you to...

    Do you have an ED "greeter"?

    ItsThatJenGirl posted a topic in Emergency

    And if you do, what does the role entail? I volunteer for a hospital, but up until this point they didn't allow volunteers in the ED. They are now developing the position and I get to be a part of it...

    What's in-and-out?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to table4's topic in General Students

    Oh wait, maybe you're referring to an IO cath? I think that means that the patient is catheritized and their bladder is drained, but then the cath is removed. So the 1400 would be how much urine was...

    Mad at myself- changing answers on exams

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to JJL618's topic in General Students

    This was a huge problem for me in Chemistry! I would answer the question and go back and "review", and inevitably change answers. I failed one of my tests, and every single question that I got wrong I...

    Do you have an ED "greeter"?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to ItsThatJenGirl's topic in Emergency

    Yeah, I killed them all with kindness. I know most people are in pain, frustrated, tired, etc so I tried to answer with empathy. It's definitely a lack of beds situation. We grab them when they are...
