  1. I know nothing!!

    mrscurtwkids4 replied to JennBoston's topic in General Students

    I think most of the student nursing population has felt this way about feeling incompetent. In fact, just a couple weeks ago, a classmate of mine confided with me as to how terrified she feels and...

  2. Pregnant but Negative Urine Preg?

    mrscurtwkids4 replied to RunnerRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    With all 5 of my pregnancies, my home urine tests would not show up until I was nearly 8 weeks pregnant. Even when I went to the doctors prior to that 8 weeks, the urine tests would show negative....

  3. Married / engaged nurses...

    mrscurtwkids4 replied to KLeigh's topic in General Nursing

    I'm still a nursing student, but I do still wear my wedding rings during my clinicals. I think it depends on how comfortable you are with it. And how large the setting might be on the engagement...

    mrscurtwkids4 replied to tinyscrafts's topic in Ob/Gyn

  8. Need math for meds advice

    mrscurtwkids4 replied to leeniebeanie_2767's topic in General Nursing

    Well, you have the right formula to use, so all you have to do is plug in the data that is given in the problem. So you would have 7.5 ordered dose divided by the 10 you have on hand and then multiply...

  9. Overwhelmed

    mrscurtwkids4 replied to drizzle's topic in New York Nursing

    I had to have many of the same books as you. An that is great if you can get the PDA format of some of them. Also, instead of getting the Publication Manual of the APA, personally, I would invest your...

  15. PharmacoCRAZY

    mrscurtwkids4 replied to Christos Anesti's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I'm in the same boat as you at the moment. Starting pharmacology this upcoming week and heard that it was pretty intense. From what I understand, it's mostly memorization and just comprehending how...

  16. College Textbook Scams! Please read!

    mrscurtwkids4 replied to maryshome8's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  17. Don't put that in your nose!!

    mrscurtwkids4 replied to whiskeygirl's topic in General Nursing

    mrscurtwkids4 replied to reese19's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
