1. Nursing Diagnosis on CEN?

   MollyMel replied to MollyMel's topic in Emergency

   And.... I passed! Yup, no nursing diagnoses (more peds than I would have liked though ;-) I really feel like the practice exam from the CEN website, and of Solheim's material (the little flip book or the med ed site) and the questions on the MC Strat...

2. Nursing Diagnosis on CEN?

   MollyMel replied to MollyMel's topic in Emergency

   i've done bot the med ed and mc strategies reviews. I think they complimented each other nicely. I also have been reading one of the ENA books. I just wish I had more access to practice questions. I did the ones on the CEN website, and did well, so I...

3. Nursing Diagnosis on CEN?

   MollyMel replied to MollyMel's topic in Emergency

   Thanks! Yes, I had read the outline (many many times) and didn't see anything about nursing diagnoses. It's just that Lipincott's has so many ND questions I got a little scared. I'm not to thrilled about lipincott's questions I must say. thanks agai...

4. Nursing Diagnosis on CEN?

   MollyMel posted a topic in Emergency

   Hey there, Been lurking a bit lately, but not posting (I've been too busy with the first year of nursing thing!) I have a CEN question. I did the online MedEd review class by Jeff Solheim to study, and have loved it (I loved his classes at ENA conf...

5. Reglan and Compazine IV push policies?

   MollyMel replied to MollyMel's topic in Emergency

   Thanks! There are a few nurses who will change the documentation to say they gave it IV in 50cc ns, but more who do not. While on orientation I have been documenting what I do (IVP or IV), and figured I could always fall back on the "I'm new" excuse...

   Hello, I am a new grad, just finishing my orientation in the ED, and I have a question for the more experienced out there... Does your hospital have a policy regarding IV push Reglan and Compazine? My hospital states we can push Metoclopramide and P...

7. Phillips Beth Israel ATOP - current students

   MollyMel replied to ashcarr30's topic in New York

   Hey, I am just finishing up in the ATOP program. You do need to be generally available during those times (Thurs 3-8, Fri 8-3, Sat 7-7) but you will not actually be there all those times. First year, we had lecture Thursday 3-8, a lab or clinical Fr...

8. Prospective Second Degree Nursing Student

   MollyMel replied to spete39's topic in General Nursing

   I was in a similar boat, all pre-reqs done and a previous bachelors. I did apply for accelerated bachelors, but also a 2 year associates. I ended up choosing the ADN because it was cheaper and started in September (I would have had to wait until May ...

9. Your school's exam review policy

   MollyMel posted a topic in General Students

   Hello, I am wondering what your school's exam review policy is? We used to go over tests question by question, as long as everyone had taken the test, and with the understanding that no one take notes. Recently they changed the policy and there are ...

10. about IV equipment

    MollyMel replied to Amy2005's topic in General Students

    You mean the IV infusion pump right? This site: http://classes.kumc.edu/general/IVPump/IVSimulation.html gives a general practice. You should also find out what pump your hospital has and look that one specifically, they are all slightly different. U...

11. At what point can a NY State RN student take the LPN exam?

    MollyMel replied to jbjints's topic in General Students

    Hey, Our school (in NYC) told us that RN students could no longer write the LPN exam after the first year of clinical classes. I do think it changed in the last few years. Some of our students were able to get jobs as PCA's though. good luck

12. How do you check the patient's blood glucose??

    MollyMel replied to Meltem.Y's topic in General Nursing

    - which solution do you use to clean the area? (alcohol, iodine etc.) we (my school and the hospitals we have clinicals at) use alcohol, but we make sure it dries fully before we do the test or it will give a false (low) reading. (unfortunately i kn...

13. Exam question on scabies

    MollyMel replied to pinkiepie_RN's topic in General Students

    Hi, I'm curious... In our book it says Scabies is transmitted through extended contact with the infected person, as in housemates, sexual partners etc. but not through casual contact such as handshakes. I personally had always believed that it was mo...

14. PHN hours and MPH question

    MollyMel posted a topic in Public/Community

    Hello, I am really interested in Public Health Nursing, but I'm a second career nursing student and really don't want to go back to M-F 8-5. I have always done better in jobs where I had irregular hours, but am I going to find that in PH? Even many ...

15. Phillips Beth Israel School of Nursing in new york

    MollyMel replied to shippoRN's topic in Pre-Nursing

    They changed the med-surg book? I guess that means none of us can sell ours. Oh well, I wasn't really planning on it anyway, I like having the reference around. Make sure you do buy both volumes of the Brunner and Suddarth book, the link is just for ...
