  1. Hyperglycemia or Dehydration what to treat first

    This is why you're so great Esme! When I originally read the OPs post, my mind went right to the hyperkalemia; perhaps because the threat of elevated K+ levels is so drilled into our skulls in school. (As my professor said, half jokingly... "If you s...
  2. Needing help! Trying to find a second degree rn to np program

    I've seen plenty of RN-MSN programs, and plenty of accelerated (or second degree) BSN and MSN programs. But I don't think I've seen any second degree RN-MSN programs. I think you would essentially just transfer in any GE or applicable credits from yo...

    Hi mistiestar! Welcome to allnurses. :) If your ultimate goal is to be an RN, I say go for it. There certainly isn't anything wrong with going for an LPN program, but when I ...
  4. Sadly you might lose that bet. My husband is an M.D. and was recently shadowed on his shift because the hospital he works for is trying to up their customer...oops, I mean patient... satisfaction numbers. He did not have TOS to stop him from telling ...
  5. New Grad Quitting After Less Than a Year (advice!)

    I agree with what many have said here. You have to do what's best for you. However, keep in mind that what's best for you will take into consideration your future employment. Before going into nursing school, I worked as an HR manager and I can tell ...

  8. Group projects

    That sounds incredibly frustrating! Have you tried addressing the issue with her directly? It's not a fun conversation, but if you and the rest of your group feel this way, it might be best to just lay it on the line in a respectful manner. I'm the s...
  9. Nursing Diagnosis

    Hi kushkismat, Welcome to AllNurses! Nursing Diagnosis and the nursing process can be tricky, but it's also very broad. Can you narrow down what exactly you're having a problem with?
  10. I really appreciated these stories. Thanks for taking the time to share them.
  11. Nursing Diagnosis.... HELP!

    Hey there, So, I'll preface by saying that I'm also a student, so hopefully someone with more experience than me will weigh in! However, since there are no responses yet, these are my thoughts. With your current diagnosis, if your professor is a stic...
  12. Statistics???

    Math and I are not great friends either. I went the online route when I took the course. Our grade was based on the midterm and the final and nothing else. (Talk about pressure.) The only good thing was that if your grade on the cumulative final was ...
  13. Need advice/insight please about my education path!

    If you decided to get your BS in another area first, you can always then look into accelerated BSN programs. Many of those are about two years, they're slightly less competitive than regular ASN or BSN programs, and you'd come out with a BSN right of...
  14. Will I be in over my head? Advice please!

    If all you said is true, I know you'll get out alive. All the best to you, and good luck!
