  3. Diagnostic Values

  4. Incontinence care of resident question?

    That's what I thought but for state purposes, a few CNAs have told me you're SUPPOSED to change gloves about 3 times during the entire changing process?! I think I'm just going to keep my one pair and if they fine the facility, oh freaking well >...

  13. Nursing Diagnosis Help

    So for creating my fictitious patient, his signs and symptoms are weakness, dizzy, hypotension, tachycardia, stomach pain, and GI bleed. I know platelet count has to be lower than 150,000 but what number platelet count should I give my guy? Also, a...
  14. Oh and maybe get those nclex apps. It'll get you practicing on the dreadful, everything is correct but which is MOST correct, and multiple multiples!
  15. I'm doing clinicals for lpn now and it's mostly CNA work...so I'm sure you'll be ok. it's the classes that kick your butt and the only thing that's gotten me through classes are those flash cards and study groupd
