    DesertRosee replied to DesertRosee's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks! I'll definitely look into that

  2. How to eat during clinicals

    DesertRosee replied to sarahamelia's topic in General Students

    Don't worry. You'll only have one to two patients at most to begin with so you have plenty of time to use the bathroom or grab a snack. Our nursing instructor also always made sure we got a lunch...

  3. Are you required to do nights when you do your practicum?

    DesertRosee replied to sarahamelia's topic in General Students

    We have Day and evening clinicals. For my program the day clinicals were harder to get into than the nights because a lot of people had kids and wanted days. They asked our preference for time, but it...

  4. Best way to bsn

    DesertRosee replied to briber09's topic in General Students

    I have some friends who while they were in their BSN programs took a class or two at their local community college over the summer. They didn't pass so they just never sent their BSN program those bad...

  5. Medical Terminology is too overwhelming?

    DesertRosee replied to OsceanSN2018's topic in General Students

    I definitely agree with PP, Relax. The medical terminology will become easier the more you use it, and it's not something I would stress about. I'm in my fourth semster of nursing school and there are...

  8. Friend asked to cheat off me from exam?

    DesertRosee replied to Dlansey's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Short answer: Heck no you shouldn't continue to be friends with her! If she was actually your friend she wouldn't jeopardize your future at that school by asking you to cheat off of her. If you're...

  10. First clinical in hospital

    DesertRosee replied to al3x117's topic in General Students

    I agree with all of the above posters. Watch for nonverbal cues from the patient such as the patients body language and take note of that while you're talking. Also sometimes when the patient is...

  11. Cant apply to other nursing schools because of different pre req requirements!

    DesertRosee replied to angel1312's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Why wouldn't you're financial aid cover it? Is it federal/state aid or is it just financial aid from the school

  12. What to do after school?

    DesertRosee replied to createddaisy's topic in General Students

    If you're going to be starting a BSN program right after you finish I think it would be a better idea to stay at home. Working full time and going to school will already be stressful enough you don't...

  13. How old were you when you started nursing school?

    DesertRosee replied to Joe V's topic in General Students

    21! I'm 22 now and will be 23 when I graduate. It sucked at first because all of my friends that I went to high school with were graduating from college, and I felt like I was just getting started....

  14. Confidence and Assertiveness? Can I order that on Amazon? A terrible day.

    DesertRosee replied to SouthernBelle85's topic in General Students

    First thing's first, BREATHE I know everything seems overwhelming now, but things are rarely as bad as they seem. If you know you're roatation sights in advance I would consider brushing up on some...

  15. Study Groups or Study Alone ???

    DesertRosee replied to Paola2319's topic in General Students

    I would study how you normally would study. You know the old saying if it isn't broke don't fix it? I wouldn't change you're study method that's been working for you so far unless you don't do well...

  16. Prioritizing nursing diagnosis

    DesertRosee replied to cjewert's topic in General Students

    I agree with HouTx, ABC or airway, breathing, circulation is a good way to remember how to prioritize your nursing diagnosis. Your Sim patient had respiratory issues so I would think that a nursing...

    How can you tell that this is a dream? "The flowers have faces on them?" "No, the nurses are on a lunch

  18. When should I start?

    DesertRosee replied to Dlansey's topic in General Students

    Well in that case I would take the PP's advice and try to find a clinic near you that charges based off of your income and start getting your vaccinations done

  19. When should I start?

    DesertRosee replied to Dlansey's topic in General Students

    I would also caution you that some nursing programs require that you have health insurance and if you do not you have to purchase it through the school or you cannot participate in lab or clinical. I...

  20. Med-surg

    DesertRosee replied to LM838's topic in General Students

    I would say for clinical brush up on your physical assessment skills. If you don't remember look up where to listen for lung sounds, bowel sounds, and where to listen for the heart. Also some websites...
