1. Question from a clinical instructor

   luv2quilt replied to luv2quilt's topic in Wound

   Since far be it from me to deprive them of their weekly care plans (they do a medical and psychosocial one for their patient each week), I will probably have them do this and one care plan on one of the patients they see. I figure all of the definiti...

2. Question from a clinical instructor

   luv2quilt replied to luv2quilt's topic in Wound

   I have to admit that even I don't know a ton about hyperbaric chambers. One thing teaching does for you is it makes you learn stuff you either never thought about or forgot along the way! I'll totally add a small bit about that.

3. Question from a clinical instructor

   luv2quilt replied to luv2quilt's topic in Wound

   FANTASTIC!!! I have some ppt presentations from education I received at my last hospital and a really great chart outlining the different categories, which I will post if I can get it in electronic form, but I love those videos! Great for new and sea...

4. Question from a clinical instructor

   luv2quilt replied to luv2quilt's topic in Wound

   WKShadow, so is ours. That's good to add, for sure! Since ostomies are so "scary" to many, and I know they haven't learned about them yet, I was thinking it would be good to keep it simple - What is an "ostomy" in general, describe the three BASIC ty...

5. Question from a clinical instructor

   luv2quilt replied to luv2quilt's topic in Wound

   KatieMI, I love that - how would you word it, though? Ask them what aspects of the patient are involved in maintaining healthy skin / decreasing risk? I'll probably also do a bit on the Braden Scale here pretty soon since it seems that nobody scores ...

   luv2quilt posted a topic in Wound

   Hi all, I am a clinical instructor for RN students and will be taking turns sending my first semester students on rounds with the wound care nurse during a clinical day. After all, you can't be a bedside nurse if you don't know what other members of ...

7. Question from a preceptor

   luv2quilt posted a topic in General Students

   Hi guys, I know how valuable a good clinical experience is. What has your preceptor done that made your rotation(s) great? Or, what COULD your preceptor have done to make them better? It's been a while since I was in school. Give me some chatter! Tha...

8. Please be prepared for your interview...

   luv2quilt replied to Larry77's topic in Emergency

   Amen! I don't want someone telling me what to do who obviously doesn't believe it enough to do it him/herself. Medical conditions are one thing - double whoppers and milkshakes are another.

9. MCG CNL Program

   luv2quilt replied to futurenurse?'s topic in New Nurse

   Dear futurenurse?, As someone who has been through the same program, I am terribly sorry that you have had this experience. I don't know what your particular circumstances are, but feel the need to stand up for MCG (now GHSU) from my perspective. A...

10. Another shoes thread-- narrow feet

    luv2quilt replied to anon456's topic in Uniform/Gear

    You might try Sanitas. They are the company that used to make Danskos so they will fit similarly, but tend to run more narrow even in the regular width. I ended up getting some Nike cheerleading shoes for school because I didn't want to drop big $ ...
