must have books | dear nursing student

After being accepted into nursing school, I had no idea what to do next. I started looking up all kinds of stuff trying to figure out what to expect; YouTube, ALLNURSES, Instagram etc. I took bits and pieces of advice from all of them. I'm going to start by sharing the books I have found useful. This is mostly dedicated to those that procrastinate or can't stay focused long enough, like me. These are easy reads that are broken down into small sections which makes them engaging.

Pre-Nursing School ○ Saunders NCLEX-RN

This book should be purchased before you even get a stethoscope. Things to study before starting first semester  — ○ Fluids and Electrolytes ○ Acid-Base Balance ○ Vital Signs ○ EVERYTHING ABOUT DIABETES MELLITUS Practicing the clinical application questions will be good review to get yourself use to the types of questions you'll see on your first quiz and test.

Pre- or During Nursing School ○ Pearsons Pathophysiology Reviews and Rationales ○ Elsevier Nursing Diagnosis Handbook | An Evidence-Based Guide to Planning Care

— these two books saved me during first semester —  ○ Learn how to use the NDH, it's a lifesaver | Elsevier ○ Get familiar with pathophysiology, nursing assessments, client-centered nursing care, nursing interventions | Pearsons R&R

Moving onto Pharmacology ○ Pearsons Pharmacology Reviews and Rationales ○ Pearsons Nurse's Drug Guide

I plan to continue to use Pearson Reviews and Rationales books through the rest of my nursing program. These books are far from the dense nursing school textbooks but contain the same information. Alongside the Saunders NCLEX-RN, you should be set for your nursing school journey.

NOTE — Please stop buying other peoples notes, TAKE YOUR OWN NOTES! These books have more information than any individualized notes seller out there. Taking your own notes allows you to personalized your perspective on the topics you learn.

*banging metal objects together*

if your patients don't understand what you tell them, you are not an adequate or effective healthcare provider !!!

#mine #im actually tired of talking to people about their health and discovering that they barely have any idea whats going on #because they cant remember what their provider said and no notes or lit or resources were offered #not knowing their medication names or what they do #not knowing the side effects #not knowing what their conditions are called or how they work! #if you can't communicate with patients you HAVE A PROBLEM #you HAVE to meet them where they're at!!!! #and maybe this is very bachelors in communication studies of me but PLEASE #for the love of fuck #medblr #nurseblr #med studyblr #med school #med student #healthcare #medical assistant #and i don't mean like they don't know the specifics bc of a knowledge deficit #i mean if they don't understand when to take their meds and how #ur failing ur primary job !!!!!!

I got a new stethoscope this week (a much needed upgrade from the hand-me-down I've been used through nursing school and the last few years of being a nurse) and I get to use it for the first time during my shift tonight and I'm very excited. Everyone's getting auscultated tonight baby!

Doing extra readings before class! Also, we started Documentation and Reporting in Nursing Foundation and that's the coolest thing I'm learning now

should I go to the ER for pitting edema after a full day of kayaking in intense heat and drinking? My ankles and foot are extremely swollen and when I apply pressure the pit stays down and doesn’t bounce back.

#idk if my other post went through bc we broke down in Kentucky #bad trip tbh #nurseblr #nurses of tumblr #medical help #medical advice

[andhumanslovedstories]

Any nurses on here who’ve taken the med surg certification course have a recommendation for a practice test? There’s a bunch you can pay for online but so many nursing CE things are the most phoned in programs ever and I don’t want to pay for one of those. Or is there any good full length free ones anyone knows about? I’m gonna take my certification test and want to practice taking an entire test rather than just individual practice questions.

accepted | nursing school ed.

Being accepted into an accelerated BSN program filled me with a bundle of emotions >.< As a nurse you have to collaborate interprofessionally with other health care staff to apply the treatment plans and orders given by physicians. While also having the courage to use your knowledge and critical thinking skills to make recommendations to the physician regarding the treatment plan. WTF DID I GET MYSELF INTO!? O.o Things I wish I did and knew before I started nursing school — ○ Shadow a nurse/nurse assistant in the department(s) you may be considering | OR get a clerical position at a hospital - anything where you interact with patients and health care staff [ I was a unit secretary ] ○ Have a good support system [ family, friends, etc. — especially if you have a spouse and/or children ] ○ Consider and prepare finances | Probably won't have time to work because of studying/schedule | If you have to work, you definitely won't have time for sleep ○ DO NOT take Anatomy & Physiology for granted ○ Throw memorization out the window | Learn to apply the knowledge and skills you know from Anatomy & Physiology [ and the things you learn during nursing school ] ○ Study medical terminology | OR take the course

NOTE — Nursing school teaches you the absolute basics! It's literally just meant to get you ready for the NCLEX-RN examination. Nursing school is only difficult because you have to use critical thinking to apply what you know about the human anatomy and physiology to a patient. After receiving your licensure, then you start actually learning how to be a nurse. — si quieres la versión en español avísame y la compartiré abajo —

One thing I wish to God DARE and other anti-drug programs showed us is the actual deterioration that drugs can cause in your body.

Shown above is a urine sample from a patient that was undergoing active overdose - not from opioids, but rather, methamphetamines.

The layer of dirt in the bottom of the cup is liver sediment. As in, the patient's liver was actively rotting and being passed through the kidneys.

Under microscopic examination, we saw Sulfa Crystals - or remnants of a meth batch gone wrong. When making methamphetamines, Sudafed and other unknown materials are added before being cut with potentially fatal additives before being consumed. Those glowing crystals are the remnants of fatal additives that sent that patient into liver failure.

Please, please, please talk to someone if you feel you need help with something potentially embarrassing. And if in any case, please write to your lawmakers about the need for safe rehabilitation programs, that can prevent this from ever being under our microscopes. While the War on Drugs has killed millions through ineffective and intentionally harmful government actions, we can do our best as the next generation to learn and sympathize with those who are suffering in silence, that are intentionally forgotten by our local and federal governments. No one deserves the hell of this.
