Thanks Zoe. Thanks for following me last semester too. I've lost about ten lbs. in two weeks and the nausea doesn't seem to be abating. I don't lose my meals, but I simply have no appetite and have...

Director of department said if someone takes detailed notes week one and I am released to return to school after just a week I can stay in the program, otherwise I have to sit out the semester. I've...

at the hospitals here where staff are color coded, Doctors are required to wear white lab coats at the very least. One hospital requires teal scrubs plus white lab coat.

Teacher said the same, and said she said so in lecture...I guess I dozed off or something because I don't remember that part. LOL

For a occupation dominated by women, the idea that white was ever an option for pants is down right silly. No one obviously gave thought to periods when they came up with the white idea.

If you want to go into nursing don't settle for psych tech. There are no opportunities for anything less than a bachelors degree in psych. Mental health is one of those professions that require the...

It gave no drop factor, which is why I'm thinking it is a misprint for micro drip. I knew micro was 60, but there were three questions with mini drip and no micro drip questions on my worksheet.

Doing a dosage calc worksheet and this was used as a drop factor.Is this a typo for micro drip?

Probably, but without an order the nurse could not do anything. She probably documented it to bring it to the doctor's attention.

I got my job with no CNA training. I was an EMT and wanted to get into more clinical. I can't deal with the driving like a bat Outta you know where in inclement weather with a human in the back. What...

The amount of work can be overwhelming, the difficulty of the work is not necessarily if you have any background in healthcare at all. Stay on top of your assignments and you will be fine.

I'm still not convinced this was a HIPAA violation. T already spoke to your guy about the upcoming surgery, and basically made his wishes known he wanted him involved. You calling on your lunch break...

Just be polite, and if he keeps kicking people out then admin will have to deal with him.

it is a centuries old practice. Long before the advent of pills or suppositories women have been shoving strange things in there to combat pain issues lol. Who got the idea originally? Now that's a...

Well, the probiotics question isn't THAT stupid. Women have been douching with plain yogurt since long before my great grandmammy, then they discovered the gel caps of it work well as a suppository...

Thanks for the help guys. It's not required to know anything but that it's "abnormal" this semester, however, next I think is when they up the anty and require us to know the specific sounds, so I'm...

I thought maybe ronchi because of the expiratory but that I'm familiar with and this didn't sound like it.

Yes. Always on bare skin. I ran EMS for a while so although there was the rare case I didn't do on bare skin, I'm pretty familiar with the fabric rubbing sound. However, hospital gowns are so easy to...

And yet, of all her multiple diagnoses, pleuracy is not one of them. Weird.

That's exactly what it sounded like! I only heard it in the upper lobes though. Both times I've heard it I only heard it there. I think it makes sense that I wouldn't hear it today as there is a lung...

I only heard it once before on a patient at work and showing my nurse she didn't hear it. So today at clinical my patient had the same sound. It was an expiratory sound. Deep tone, almost slow...

I use dimensional analysis. I will find out my exact error when I take the class. I'm not too concerned yet. I have three kids one who may be in the spectrum, he goes for testing in January, and one...

When I was a nanny we had to cath her four times a day. She was two years old and hated laying still. I got to where I could hit the target in a blink, she would climb back upright and drain standing...

Cox is required. I may look into that with the next installment of financial aid.

I did do an EMT program located just blocks from my house. I was gone two hours twice a week. I rarely had to study. Now I am gone from 5:30 pr 7:00 (depending on the day) until 4 daily for school...
