1. Very upset.

   2bnurselovescoffee replied to LovingLearning's topic in General Students

   I think she meant to talk to your clinical instructor about the incident and how it made you feel. You have two options you can sit around and feel bad about what happened (which is easy to do), or you can be the "bigger person" and walk away. A ...

2. Medical Dx UTI, can't seem to find Nsg Dx

   2bnurselovescoffee replied to 2bnurselovescoffee's topic in General Students

   I actually think I'm going to go with safety. This patient was admitted not b/c of the UTI but b/c they wanted to further observe. It was stated that the condition of the patient on admission they were unlikely to return to home. The patient recov...

   2bnurselovescoffee posted a topic in General Students

   So I'm looking for a little help today, I'm always lost as far as nursing dx after taking care of someone for a few hours and then they are discharged. I always ask myself to find my priority "what needs to happen for this patient to leave the hospi...

   2bnurselovescoffee replied to medsurgrnco's topic in General Nursing

   This may sound stupid but I'm just a student and not an expert nurse but what is agency nursing? IS it similar to home health care...just curious? Thanks!

5. Small Bowel Obstruction? Perceived CP Help.

   2bnurselovescoffee replied to 2bnurselovescoffee's topic in General Students

   Thanks, I just got so hung up on the fact that how can someone who had a BM 2 days ago be constipated? So I was going all around the issues that I could use and none of them made sense, and I kept going back to constipation. I ended up with Risk fo...

7. LONG scrub pants

   2bnurselovescoffee replied to fit2nurse's topic in Uniform/Gear

   URBANE SCRUBS has petite, regular, and tall sizes. I'm 5'7'' and the regular are perfect for me (I wear danskos so they are long enough to cover the shoe.) The tall inseam claims it's 32.5 but I've tried them on and they are more like 35". Find a ...

8. Anxiety/Depression Med PLEASE HELP!

   2bnurselovescoffee replied to 987!'s topic in General Nursing

   You already took the first step and that was recognizing that you do need help. Work with your doctor in finding the right med that doesn't give you bad side effects. When I went through severe anx/dep I was also scared of being dependent on a med...

9. Staying Alert after Clinical Prep night w/out sleep

   2bnurselovescoffee replied to 2bnurselovescoffee's topic in General Students

   Yes that is true but unfortunantely that is what our instructor EXPECTS from us. It's not my own thinking. She wants Pt Hx, surgery's, important labs, meds (class, reason pt is getting, major side effects), and our care plan in our heads. I am 2n...

    2bnurselovescoffee posted a topic in General Students

    Anybody have any remedies (coffee, sleep schedule, energy drink, magic no dose pill) that can keep me alert and awake for 5:30Am start time until 4PM with little sleep? Clinical prep starting at 4pm night prior and teacher expects everything to be me...

11. Best bookbag on wheels?

    2bnurselovescoffee replied to RbLegend's topic in Uniform/Gear

    LL BEAN! You get what you pay for. It's one of the only ones that is sturdy as heck, and the wheels are rollerblade wheels so it's silent rolling. I hate to draw attention to myself like other rolling bags that are obnoxious.

12. Working/Going to School

    2bnurselovescoffee replied to nurseontheway's topic in General Nursing

    It's different for everyone... I worked first year about 15 hours a week and found that hard. Some people can work part time and still do good in nursing school. You will have to feel it out and see what is comfortable for you, just have a flexible...

    2bnurselovescoffee replied to newbie08's topic in General Students

    I was having a hard time also in first year and even talked to my advisor. It wasn't until I mentioned it to ONE of the 6 instructors we had and she suggested this book to me. WHY DO THEY MAKE IT A SECRET? After reading I told them the really ough...

14. OMG!! First test next week 9/2!!

    2bnurselovescoffee replied to newbie08's topic in General Students
