  1. Can you "explode" from CDiff

    Yep, scrotal edema....3rd spacing, seen it too many times to count. I have always gently elevated the area with a few folded pillowcases placed under the scrotum. Sounds like this poor guy is septic.
  2. Frustrated Grad Student

    Not to minimize your obvious frustration, but these all sound legitimate to me. Hope you can get past all of this. Being po'd with the Dean of Nursing and her secretary before you really get a chance to get to know them or the program doesn't sound t...
  3. CA BON NCLEX results not posted in their web site???

    Of course. That's why everybody, foreign or not, search the BRN's website for a license number next to their name. I answered the OP's question, provided a link to search for a license number and correctly stated that the "results" will not appear ...
  4. CA BON NCLEX results not posted in their web site???

    Yes, technically people can come to the conclusion that they've passed by finding their license number. But as far as posting actual NCLEX results on their website, no, the BRN does not do that. Nor do they give results over the phone.
  5. CA BON NCLEX results not posted in their web site???

    Wow IP Nurse, RN, that's WONDERFUL! Congratulations! :nuke:
  6. When my daughter was 19, she had pyelonephritis. She was admitted to the hospital and had a morphine pca. I am just saying that this is an extremely painful condition. I would be making sure that your daughter's pain is addressed consistently, that n...
  7. OUCH! Poor thing. Thank goodness they found the pyelonephritis, but my goodness, what took so long! I hope your darling is getting the pain relief she so obviously needs for both comfort and healing. I can relate KellieNurse to having that feeling th...
  8. Why don't you call the BRN or check their website for your answer. Since they are the ones who provide this info, they know the answer. http://www.rn.ca.gov/ They don't bite! The BRN is very helpful when you call.
  9. CA BON NCLEX results not posted in their web site???

    By the way, no, the BRN does not post NCLEX results. You will have to wait for those to arrive in the mail.
  10. CA BON NCLEX results not posted in their web site???

    Wait about a week (but I know you'll be checking many times a day :) ) and then go here to "Online License Verification" If you passed and the site is updated, you will have a license number. You can find yourself now in the IP section. .
  11. Which weight with titration?? daily wt or dry wt?

    dry weight
  12. Log rolling spinal pt's

    I was able to google "log rolling spinal injuries" and found lots and lots of stuff. Don't know if this is what you're looking for, but here are a few: http://www.pubmedcentral.gov/articlerender.fcgi?tool=pmcentrez&artid=233172 http://www.pubmed...
  13. Fentanyl/Versed on locked pumps ?

    Timothy, it looks as though that standard of yours may not be the actual standard of care. I've been in quite a few ICU's and have never seen fentanyl or versed drips locked. I've not been employed in a lot of ICU's, but I've seen several in a couple...
  14. patients who LIE about their symptoms!

    I'm really glad you clarified what you meant. Because really, it did sound really really BAD.
  15. patients who LIE about their symptoms!

    I just noticed your edit. What I think you need to understand is that there is a HUGE difference between lying and denial. Is this more about people's personal choices (like smoking) when they have a diagnosis of COPD? Does it strike a nerve that eve...
