  1. Having a tough time ranking Med Diagnosis

    HI. That is probably why I am so confused, because that is the medical diagnosis. We have to look at textbook definition, doctors orders, client symptoms and write to the disease. The first medical diagnosis we write to, in more detail, the next 3 ar...
  2. Having a tough time ranking Med Diagnosis

    HI. What you have mentioned makes complete sense. I don't know why, I always seem to think of Risk for, before actual like you mentioned in your comments. Thank you! Charlene
  3. 1st semester NS burnout?

    ME TOO! I think I have cried non-stop all of this Holiday break. Am just now preparing for my clinical on Tuesday. It seems like nothing I do is right, really seems that way. I think that I just "haven't gotten it" yet. I keep waiting, and then well ...
  4. HI. I am not sure if anyone can guide me, or not. In my class we are to rank the medical diagnoses and write to the 4 primary. My problem is trying to determine the 4 that are most critical to the patient. I have a pt this week with: Osteoarthritis, ...
  5. drowning in fear and criticism

    I am going to try this advice as well. I know what I need to do in a shift, and then I enter a room and this resident wants to talk! This is my biggest problem, I want to sit and hear them and talk with them. I truely do. I almost feel rude moving on...
  6. Made a mistake last night.

    That is a great point, about some not receiving report. I know that our AM shift aides receive a report, I work second shift and some of the aides will pass on report, others are hitting the time clock I love that I do get report, residents that are...
  7. CNA if I don't get in to ADN program?

    I think it is a great idea. In fact, that is the route that I went. I became a CNA and am now in the Nursing Program at school. The posters are right, the duties are very different, however, I am still providing them a great service. No matter what t...
  8. Have you ever made a med error?

    I, personally, would document the conversation in your personal information/records. This way you will have a record of exactly what was said, by both sides. I just like to think CYA. You have sort of done that here on this site though. It is just a ...
  9. I failed dosage and calculations

    HI. I had just wanted to chime in with a book that has helped me greatly. Our instructor recommended Math for Meds: Dosages & Solutions. It is a practice workbook, that begins with beginners math on up to calculations. There is also helpful info...
  10. First Clinical day tomorrow!!

    Good for you!!! My class is still a little over a week away, but I am terrified. I probably won't sleep because I'll be anxious/nervous and anything else that comes to mind. I am glad you posted a little list of what you brought your first day, I thi...
  11. Have you ever made a med error?

    HI. I wake up in the middle of the night TERRIFIED that I will make an error. It makes me sick to my stomach really, to think that I may. We haven't started our clinicals, we are a little more than 1 week away, so I can't really give any advice. I ca...
  12. had it with nursing school already!

    HI. My class has some of the same types of people, I think of them as caddy. I really have just found my own group and we are sticking together! I think out of my class only 2 of us have cried, I am one of them :) We are doing Med-Test Out now, so we...
  13. Personal Hand Skin Care

    HI. I have the same trouble, and I am scared to death what they will be like in winter. I use St Ives, Swiss Vanilla. It has a light scent. Though we also have lotion in the staff bathrooms, and our Sub/Station (supply room) has a dispenser of lotion...
  14. A Few Questions

    Hi. My first instinct, would be for you to check the requirements for the Bachelor of Nursing. Compare that to what you had completed, you may find some classes that you won't need to retake. Just thoughts off of the top of my head though. I am simil...
  15. You Know You're a Nurse When...

    TRUE! I used to wonder why in the world there was a metric system. Now I wonder why in the world didn't they teach me that to begin with?
