lol wut? What is your assignment...?

[.:Chris:.]

lol wut? What is your assignment...?

Well I'm just trying to get ahead of the class..I found myself more effective this way. I'm just doing the first two weeks of reading and taking notes on it. For the most part I'm getting it. Read the chapter on Caring interventions and Therapeutic Communications and took this online quiz that I found..didnt due too well but it gave me an insight on how to write better notes.

Doing that now with Clinical Decision- Nursing Process (ADPIE) and I think I'm over doing it a little lol. But then again the freakin chapter is close to 100 pages..and I seem to be writing crap down on every page that I read. I guess in a long run itll be good. Itll be easier to review 12 pages of notes summarizing 100 pages in the book.

Tomorrow think I'll start doing some lab work assuming I finish Nursing Process chapter.

Nice, very similar to how mine yet. CPR is fun..you get to practice on some dummies. I ended up practicing Heimlich maneuver on a girl and was unintentionally hitting her teddies.

yeah its just kinda ****ty cause we have to get all those certifications on our own time or we wont be allowed to participate in some labs

itll be interesting to see how our material compares throughout our programs

In on this thread brahs.

I'm currently getting my pre-reqs out of the way. I'm studying right now for my AP1 test tomorrow, then for the lab practical on Tuesday. I'm taking Micro, Chem, AP1 and speech this semester. I completed my cna program over the summer and am taking the state test next friday. fuarkkkk. I'm not going to get a job this semester, but right after finals I'm definitely going to start looking. I can't wait to start actually taking nursing classes though. Gonna def sub to this.. The more I read into and hear about nursing, the more and more excited I get about it. After spending time in hospitals, my clinicals, talking to people etc I can't freaking wait brahs

Prereqs ~2 years and RN program is 2 years. Not sure about LPN and PN but I know after their first year they can take a test to get on the LPN/PN-RN transition program.
