    Med passes

    Rionoir replied to payitforward's topic in General Nursing

    Staffing issues and being overworked are still no excuse for sarcasm and rudeness to patients and their families. There are ways to reply to requests without dropping everything and being their...

    Student Loans and Debt

    Rionoir replied to jnniemeyer's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    The best advice is still to minimize your debt before you need professional advice on managing the debt. Do you ever listen to Dave Ramsey? He talks about school loans quite a bit. It still seems...

    Med passes

    Rionoir replied to payitforward's topic in General Nursing

    If you work at a hospital whose values include patient-centered care, I would avoid most of what I've read in this thread if I were you.

    PDF for Perry & Potter 9th edition

    Rionoir replied to Miewn's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    You can rent a legitimate textbook from amazon for like 20 bucks usually. Passing around PDFs of copyrighted materials is probably not something you should be

    Decision: ADN or BSN

    Rionoir replied to WCSU1987's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Where do you live? In some places paying for more than an ADN is pointless as you will get the same jobs and same pay as BSN students, and the hospitals will pay for you to continue your education....

    nursing care plan ineffective breathing pattern/rt pain?

    Rionoir replied to fransy's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Increased respirations do not cause lowered O2, they would cause decreased CO2 if you were looking at ABGs, but O2 sat would be just fine. Blood loss, low BP... start there and think through what's...

    265 questions is almost guaranteed if your a male.

    Rionoir replied to wilderness47's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Except overtime would artificially raise their "hourly pay" if it was calculated using pay/hours since overtime pays more. Also if more men are weekenders, they would make more money right out of the...

    Does dating get easier as a male nurse in his 30s?

    Rionoir replied to nurse2bnoob101's topic in Male Nursing Students

    A lot of people get married young and a lot of them get divorced or just live completely boring lives. Don't be too jealous of them. Learn to be happy with yourself and everything else falls in...

    Renewing CNA license when starting RN program soon?

    Rionoir replied to Cnlee12's topic in General Students

    If you want to work as a CNA you still need to get your license, so yes I would renew it. Being in school just lets you sit for the licensing test. At least that’s my understanding of it in my

    Student Loans and Debt

    Rionoir replied to jnniemeyer's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Just for some perspective on this: You could relocate to somewhere that ADN programs aren’t so competitive, buy a house with that $175k, and pay $1500 a semester for an ADN, and have your employer...

    Also, 30 is still young enough to not be worrying about a couple extra years of gaining experience.

    Rionoir replied to jnniemeyer's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Have you researched what type of jobs you would qualify for coming from a non-nursing background? It might be the fastest way to get your masters, but you might end up having to work at the same...

    Permanently Kicked out of Practicum

    Rionoir replied to FrustratedExStudent's topic in General Students

    So no talking when you’re asked to stop talking isn’t clear to you somehow Tony? Or would you just think that if you didn’t specifically sign off on that rule just go ahead and keep

    What are the things I need to get into the nursing program?

    Rionoir replied to Anne0982's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You might want to talk to your adviser again, because there probably isn't a whole lot of choice as to what you are going to be

    Failed for Clinical-but no proof

    Rionoir replied to Misscruella's topic in General Students

    At the end of the day, you need to take responsibility for your actions. Nursing school is full of people who have had setbacks, pushed through, and succeeded. I've also seen plenty of students who...

    Will pharmacology mnemonic devices help you in nursing school?

    Rionoir replied to M.A. Roni's topic in General Students

    Taking A&P 1&2 at the same time

    Rionoir replied to LD1289's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you have little retention from taking them before then take them separately. You need to know this information in most of your nursing theory courses so there’s no point just getting through it,...

    Rionoir replied to studentbear's topic in General Students

    Quizlet is awful IMO. Lookup some youtube videos of ANKI - a lot of med students use it and have posted videos on the best way to use it. I tried a lot of flashcard programs before finally finding...

    Permanently Kicked out of Practicum

    Rionoir replied to FrustratedExStudent's topic in General Students

    The hospital can absolutely decide to arbitrarily kick a student out. Students are allowed to be at clinical by the good graces of the hospital. If they decide they no longer want certain students...

    Rionoir replied to studentbear's topic in General Students

    I use ANKI to make flashcards from the assigned chapters, and study those daily as they come up for review. Takes me a couple hours per chapter to make the cards from an ebook, and about an hour a...
