  2. Nursing Diagnosis

    Thank you! That's what I thought, but I was confused as to why it's listed as a r/t in the NANDA.
  3. Nursing Diagnosis

    I'm working on my care plan right now and one of the medical diagnosis was Alzheimer's dementia. After looking through my Nursing Diagnosis Handbook at the NANDA I came up with the nursing diagnosis: Chronic Confusion related to Alzheimer's disease....
  4. I'm in my 1st semester and during the first 8 weeks I spent an extra 3 hours a week when we had a skill check off (NG tube, foley cath). Now that we're in our second 8 weeks and are beginning clinicals we don't get the "extra" time in lab every week ...

    Thanks! We were required to buy the Ackley Nursing Diagnosis handbook.
  6. No social life...can anyone else relate?

    We're about to begin clinicals and I've heard that it's helpful to buy yourself a careplan book & PDQ's (small quick reference). Is there any books or materials that you've found helpful for clinicals?

  10. A&P I

    There is a website affiliated with our textbook, but it honestly doesn't help much. It just has an outline of the chapters and answers to question asked in the book. No games or slides, which would be extremely helpful in my case.
  11. A&P I

    We've already taken two lab tests and i've done great so far on those! We are about to take our second lecture test this week and i've really been struggling with the lecture tests. I've been reading through the chapters, taking my own notes, and the...
  12. I have came across this problem myself. The cheapest I have been able to find is between amazon and barnes and noble or once in awhile from half.com Most of my books I also get through Barnes & Noble. Does becoming a member have any other benefi...
  13. Online classes. Yay or Nay?

    It depends on the type of class if it's a math or science i'd prefer to take those on campus. If it's anything except for those two subjects i'd rather do online. As long as you keep up with coursework I find it pretty easy.
