  2. I feel like everybody hates being a nurse!!!

    I agree!!
  3. Med Surg block 2 Fluid and Electrolytes

    You could also interpret the question as asking what pathophysiology or underlying disorder might cause a particular electrolyte imbalance. Such as hypernatremia can be as a result of diarrhea or vomiting, or adrenal tumours. I think the previous po...
  4. Depending on how much freedom you have with the presentation, input, and involvement, it could be considered preventative, or 'upstream' as they say in my program, nursing. You can talk with the kids about preventing injuries, importance of safety, e...

  11. I totally agree with you ProfRN4. Lots of people could get through the interview process and be weeded out later, or even worse make it through nursing school and be poor RNs. However, this gentleman would NOT, under any circumstances, have made it t...
  12. Squeamish Students?

    I love this site! It's a strange thing, surgeries fascinate me but venipuncture and IV insertion make me queasy lol
  13. Our school kicks people out every semester, as well as the students that fail or drop out. Last semester they kicked out 7 students, for a plethora of reasons. Some examples include: 1) being completely incapable of interpersonal interactions (he co...
