   AlmostNurseJ replied to soranaruto's topic in Student Assist

   Well you're assessing their skin. Is it dry or moist? Are there any incisions, wounds, pressure areas, bruises, skin tears, fragile turgor, rashes, excoriation? What's the color? Is it pink and well perfused, cyanotic, or erythema? What's the tempera...

2. At the top of my class...but awful in clinical!

   AlmostNurseJ replied to enfermera17's topic in General Students

   I agree with the above. I am a nursing student as well coming up on my last 3 months of the program. We all understand what it's like to make a mistake like that in clinical and let it upset us, and I am sure all the nurse's that oversee us when we m...

7. Why low Hg, Hct, and RBC postop?

   AlmostNurseJ posted a topic in General Students

   I have had multiple patients that have low Hg, Hct, and RBC counts after surgery, but when putting my reason for the patient's abnormal finding, I can't seem to think of anything except for the fact that they are postop. It makes sense that someone w...
