  1. Is Nursing School Hard?

    CuriousMe replied to BecomeNurse06's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ya-Ya: I think it depends on the other responsibilities in your life. There's no doubt that trying to juggle school on top of home, kids and work is super challenging. But, as an older person without...

  2. students who don't seem to study and do so well

    CuriousMe replied to italy's topic in General Students

    I agree...why care so much? In addition though, how do you know how much she studies? Do you only study in sight of your classmates? How do you know what she has going on in her personal life right...

  3. Preceptorship... Excited, but....

    CuriousMe replied to MystyqueOne's topic in General Students

    At a guess, I don't think anyone here will be able to say what YOUR preceptorship will be. Each state, school and clinical site has different restrictions about what student nurses can do. As an...

  4. test question!

    CuriousMe replied to BA_anthropology's topic in General Students

    Someone else said the amount of blood for a test question was 6cm (in post 33, someone other than the OP said they had a question that specified 6 cm of blood on bandage). The OP said this was the...

  5. test question!

    CuriousMe replied to BA_anthropology's topic in General Students

    I've been in the ICU since the beginning of January for my senior preceptorship....maybe I'm just starting to think like an ICU

  6. test question!

    CuriousMe replied to BA_anthropology's topic in General Students

    You keep speaking about taking vitals like it takes hours....just how long are you thinking it takes to take a BP and a

  7. All the Nurse Residency Programs you ever wanted

    CuriousMe replied to creative scholar's topic in Nursing Career

  8. test question!

    CuriousMe replied to BA_anthropology's topic in General Students

    My apologies for misunderstanding, typing on a forum is an inexact form of communication and when you quoted my post, then used the word "you" I interpreted that as me and not a general you. I never...

  9. Study suggestions for group learning

    CuriousMe replied to Liebchen's topic in General Students

    That sounds less like a study session and more like a tutoring session. They're very different things. The only way I've found a group study session useful, is if everyone has done their own...

  10. test question!

    CuriousMe replied to BA_anthropology's topic in General Students

    The question posted really is about the basics. We know how it's worded....the OP posted it in the first posting. Maybe you're thinking of a different question? Well, we could invent a new...

  11. Difference b/t Cardioversion and Defibrillator

    CuriousMe replied to pinoysn's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    The other big difference is the syncing. So with cardioversion, they will give a shock that coincides with what the R wave (think of the EKG PQRST). So, the machine will monitor the heart rate and...

  12. Does fasting indicate NPO?

    CuriousMe replied to neil890123's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Fasting just means their abstaining from something. If I saw an order about Fasting, I would ask whomever wrote it what they meant....or look and see if there was a P&P about Fasting in the...

  13. Difference b/t Cardioversion and Defibrillator

    CuriousMe replied to pinoysn's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    There's also a big difference in how much electricity is used for

  14. NOT going to the pinning ceremony

    CuriousMe replied to CaliforniaRNnow's topic in General Students

    I just see them as two very different things. Graduation from nursing school is once in a lifetime. It's the school awarding me my degree. This is the official time of completion. I'm don't see...

  15. NOT going to the pinning ceremony

    CuriousMe replied to CaliforniaRNnow's topic in General Students

    Well, of course....what does that have to do with graduation? The piece of paper is just a piece of paper. I can get a replacement one...or order a transcript any time I want. It's just

  16. I need to do better on my nursing exams, PLEASE HELP!

    CuriousMe replied to clairebelle's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    as evidence of different learning styles....i need to learn how things are applied to make sense of it. i also need the flesh to understand it all...the more detail the better. the details help me...

  17. test question!

    CuriousMe replied to BA_anthropology's topic in General Students

    Don't over-think, stick to the basics. The first step in the nursing process is assessment. The only assessment choice given that we can do (since we can't remove a primary bandage one day post-op...

  18. NOT going to the pinning ceremony

    CuriousMe replied to CaliforniaRNnow's topic in General Students

    I see. Different priorities I suppose....it never occurred to me that the point of the ceremony was to receive the piece of paper. The way I see it, they're awarding my degree to me, not a

  20. Dosage Calculation Policies

    CuriousMe replied to nursingtodo11's topic in General Students

    We don't have instruction either....do some schools have instruction in this? We have a book, but really it's pretty basic

  21. NOT going to the pinning ceremony

    CuriousMe replied to CaliforniaRNnow's topic in General Students

    I'm confused, you're not the first person who's mentioned a "fake" diploma. Why do you feel your diploma is

  22. NOT going to the pinning ceremony

    CuriousMe replied to CaliforniaRNnow's topic in General Students

    My university does it the same way. The person I was replying to stated that she was going to pinning because she'd be walking with folks she knows....but not graduation because she'd be walking with...

  23. test question!

    CuriousMe replied to BA_anthropology's topic in General Students

    Vitals will tell you what the problem is (in this case how critical the problem is). Getting a pulse and BP takes just a few moments. If they need assistance before the few moments that a BP and...

  24. NOT going to the pinning ceremony

    CuriousMe replied to CaliforniaRNnow's topic in General Students

    So for graduation, you're just intermingled throughout the rest of the university

  25. Dosage Calculation Policies

    CuriousMe replied to nursingtodo11's topic in General Students

    We have a book and an online resource (Calculate with Confidence). It's our job to remediate, there are no review classes. First year we have three chances to get a 90%, after that we have two...
