1. Nurses with eating disorders?

   Aneri J. replied to CardiacDork's topic in General Nursing

   Oh dear. I started to keep track of my eating habits since last month, and I noticed that I only eat max twice a day! I'm aiming for 3-5 meals daily, so this is a bit worrying for me. On most days after work I get too tired to eat and just sleep. Any...

   Aneri J. posted a topic in Med-Surg

   Hi! I'm a novice RN in the hospital. This month, I have handled two patients undergoing blood transfusions (my first time... and both patients needed packed RBCs) and at both instances I wasn't able to successfully transfuse 1 whole unit of PRBCs (th...

3. Novice nurse no-nos

   Aneri J. replied to tsm007's topic in General Nursing

7. Pocket handbooks, anyone?

   Aneri J. posted a topic in Student Assist

   I am choosing between buying pocket handbooks (e.g. RNotes, Med Surg Notes) and making my own pocket handbook. What do these pocket handbooks have in common, anyway? Should I buy one or it is wise to just make a few notes on my own? Thanks! =D
