I thought it would be fun to play a little game and learn at the same time. I know there are alot of Student Nurses & Graduate Nurses so I hope ya'll participate.
So here are the rules: You have to either provide a definition to a term or give the correct name of the abbreviation (whichever the poster above you posts). Then when you answser (only if you know correctly)...then give a term or abbr. for the next person to solve (bolded if you can to make it stand out).
P.S. If there is more than one definition or name, give both.
P.S.S. Don't even think about googling it. The only resource you can use is your brain

here's something I wrote today "OOB ad lib; AMB I c min A to BR; voiding CYU QS" I know that's a lot of abbrs--sorry for not following the rules. I'm just showing off my new writing style. I'm an NLN.
When I was a student early on, I'd take copious notes from patient charts (privacy protected of course) and I'd write down tons of these abbreviations. The funny thing is, I thought if I googled them with quotation marks I could find out what they meant. Little did I know how ineffective this technique would be.
