1. I don't think I want to be a nurse anymore.

   lucki_star7 replied to justasweety's topic in Recovery

   Honestly, regardless of whether or not you are clean and whether or not you want to continue working as a nurse or not, it would be wise to do the rehabilitation program. I don't want to be negative but drug addiction is so dangerous and it can be ve...

2. To disclose or not to disclose ... That is my question.

   lucki_star7 replied to Devon Rex's topic in Student Assist

   I agree with GrnTea. In my opinion it would be violating HIPAA if the healthcare providers told Donnie. However, if Serena had sex with Donnie knowing that she had an infectious disease and did not disclose this information she would be breaking the ...

3. Please help with Dx for nursing care plan!

   lucki_star7 replied to julienurse2b's topic in Student Assist

   Thanks for that long winded response, but I really think you misunderstood what I said or that I wasn't clear in my response. I wasn't saying that they derived the nursing dx from the medical dx. What I was getting at was they wrote nursing dx that c...

   lucki_star7 replied to julienurse2b's topic in Student Assist

   While I do understand your concern. We use the ninth edition Nursing Diagnosis Handbook, and I got all of these from the book relating to substance abuse. In my book the first 100 or some odd pages have examples of nursing dx for different medical di...

6. I need some help with a concept map!

   lucki_star7 replied to LadyA13's topic in Student Assist

   I don't know how all schools teach writing a nursing dx. We were taught using the PES format (Problem, Etiology, and Signs/Symptoms). It would be written as such Problem r/t Etiology AEB Signs/Symptoms, when writing an Actual dx; however, when writin...

7. this is a true story ..vent .. wowzers .. crazy

   lucki_star7 replied to ohmeowzer RN's topic in Relations

   Okay now that is more understandable. However, you wrecked your credibility and confirmed what I already thought, that this wasn't a true story. In the original post you stated that the other nurse was a male saying "he" throughout, and in your last ...

   lucki_star7 replied to ohmeowzer RN's topic in Relations

   IMO, you seem like one of those charge nurses that just wants to sit at the nurses station and do nothing. I will agree that the way he handled the situation was inappropriate; however, it was inappropriate for you to take on one patient and dump all...

9. Who were you in high school

   lucki_star7 replied to Dezy's topic in General Students

   I was the girl who hung out with all the guys, not because I was a tomboy but I just always got along better with guys. I skipped school, acted out a lot, and almost didn't graduate because I went into my junior year with just over a 1.0 GPA. It was ...

    This moved me to tears! You and your wife are raising a wonderful young man! I don't have children yet, but I do know that there is no love more genuine than that of a child! What a beautiful story, we can really learn a lot from the children in our ...
