CPNE Questions

Nursing Students Online Learning

Published

i am sure we all have so many questions, whenever i think of something i send them an email... i do not post on epn because i feel everyone is giving their "opinions" and sometimes the faculty doesn't correct them.... so i will list some of the questions that i sent to them, hope everyone do the same... we will pass cpne!!!!!!!!!!!

response...

it doesn't matter.

i like to take them off.

as long as the dressing stays in place you are good to go.

I know we allhave a ton of questions. I do post here and on epn. For the wound i do know you can leave them on or take them off once you are to that point. I like to keep mine on. Sheris has taught me a lot. Next question i come upwith ill post here... Trust me it wont be long! Ha

i usually have an answer within couple hours, compare to the epn (my opinion of course) all those students are telling what "they think" i need to know the right way...

yeah but it all depends on which staff member you talked to.... i feel like sometimes i get four different answers from excelsior faculty.

The whole recapping thing gives me ogeda. I don't have any lab sim mneumonics... but as far as recapping they can't fail you for that unless you do it wrong or maybe they were giving a med during a PCS and recapped. From what I have been told it depends on the site what you will be drawing your meds up with... some places have the airless adapter in which case you would draw with a needleless for IM and then attach appropriate needle, while I guess others don't and you would inject air and draw up with the needle, so recapping would be needed....

Hey! OMG the big weekend starts tomorrow for you, right?? Will keep you in my prayers this weekend :-)

I had been doing labs just like Rob too, saw something on EPN about recapping, it gave me a coronary and I wigged about it so I have been practicing all ways incase I do end up recapping. I asked about how Rob does when he says you ask the examiner to hold the insulin syringe for you while you put the gloves on, got three different answers, so I figure what's the worst they can say, they're already holding it LOL... don't know what I am going to do yet, but there is nothing wrong w/recapping during the lab sims according to EC, Sheri and Rob :-)

GOOD LUCK ROSE!!!!! :-)

i think like you said beachie, ask them if they can hold it... don't take any chances. :)

I thought you could only recap during the lab sims??
