That was quite possibly the man-killingest thing that has ever been said on this forum.

Actually, that was directed toward Stephanie for derailing a gun conversation with couches and love seats.

So much studying to do :wacko:

Brings back memories. Are you in a BSN or ADN program? From the "Professional Nursing" book, I gather BSN.

Mosby's calculate with confidence is a great book. We had a dosage calculation quiz before every class, you either made a 100% or a 0% with one chance to make them up. If you didn't have a 100% after makeup on every quiz, you were considered unsafe for clinical and asked to leave the nursing program because even just 1 mistake means you compromised the safety of 1 patient, and that is unacceptable.

We used "Pharmacology for Nursing Care" by Lehne as well. Chapter X has a really good section on Cyclooxygenase inhibitors.

Pathophysiology: The Biologic Basis for Disease in Adults and Children was quite possibly one of the best textbooks I ever had. For micro, we used Talaro, in A & P, we used Tortora, but I teach my A & P class with marieb and the disease guide, although I prefer Tortora hands down.

My med/surg textbook was horrible on my back. It was 3x the thickness of Essentials of Paramedic care. "Brunner & Suddarth's Medical/Surgical Nursing". For pediatric nursing, we used "Wong's". In pharmacotherapeutics, we used Lippincott's Illustrated pharmacology.

You have a long road ahead of you, but it is worth it in the end. Just stick to it. Once the semester is over, keep these books, they will serve you well in the future. Keep your textbooks from next semester as well.

Is it bad form to use your own quote for a sig?

Yes.

It is a BSN program. So far I love the calculate with confidence book, it really helps. We have a similar policy, our first dosage quiz counts for a grade and then we have 2 more tries to get a 100%. If you dont get the 100% your out. I also like the format of the Pharm and Patho books. The A&P and Micro are books I kept for reference (very helpful for patho) I already passed the classes.

As for the future books, apparently we use textbooks that are written by an Alumni of our school so I will have to wait and see about those.

Also we just switched to HESI exams for all of our finals, So every class will have its own HESI. This is to get us ready for the NCLEX, which is good since or school has some crazy good pass rate (~96%)

Yeah, we did the HESI A2. The initial HESI was used in our admissions process to upper division. I made a 91% on mine. Let me know if you need any help studying. It seems like you are in a pretty good program. I will be teaching Intro to Critical Care Nursing at my undergraduate alma mater in the Fall. I will teach the continuation of that course for those wishing to specialize and later go on to CCRN in the Spring (Cardiorespiratory Concepts of Intensive Care Nursing).

Sounds great, Thank you. I will probably PM you sometime and ask you a few questions since you seem to have accomplished everything I want to do. I would love to be a flight nurse but my school also has a great MSN program so I am also looking into going right into their ACNP program after my one year of work.

Why can't you be a Flight Nurse Practitioner? Many flight nurses have MSN's.

Very good point. I guess I should focus on getting through my BSN before I start planning for my MSN lol
