  1. Special Needs "Classroom" Nurse

    I have been crawling around this forum looking for some answers, but decided to just ask my question outright. I interviewed recently for a job as a special needs classroom nurse for a K-8 school. During the interview I found out there are 7 childre...
  2. Another nursing care plan question

    care map...not carp map!
  3. Another nursing care plan question

    The dosage for coumadin is 2.5, not 25. I did make a typo. I also wanted to thank Daytonite and everyone else who helped me with this care plan. My instructor struggled to find flaws in it. This time I'm doing a carp map on this resident instead of...
  4. Another nursing care plan question

    I am glad you pointed that out. They take her PT/INR twice a week, is that more than necessary? I have done it once myself and never really paid much attention to applying pressure to the fingerstick long enough to make sure it stopped bleeding for ...
  5. Another nursing care plan question

    that was my goal... thanks.. i used ineffective protection... here are the nursing interventions i am considering using: NI #1 -- follow contact precautions including handwashing/use of PPE when providing patient care Rationale -- infection control...
  6. Another nursing care plan question

    Oh, I see. Like, Ineffective "Protection" as in immune system or defense mechanisms? Thanks for the explanation! I have seen how many people you have helped on here and really appreciate your time.
  7. Another nursing care plan question

    Wow, thanks for the speedy response. Why is it Ineffective Protection instead of Risk for Bleeding? My instructor recently sent us an email with new 2009-2011 nursing diagnoses organized according to a nursing focus by Doenges/Moorhouse Diagnostic D...
  8. Single moms in school

    Although I am not a single mom, I am a stay-at-home-mom in nursing school with a 2 year old and a 3 year old. My husband works during the day and is usually occupied at night working on another home-business. I always found the SQ3R (although old-s...
  9. Another nursing care plan question

    I have been reading over countless threads relating to help with nursing care plans and was reluctant to ask for help, but I decided to do it anyway. I am a 1st semester PN student working on my second care plan. Not much was expected of us on our f...
  10. Gateway LPN Fast Track

    Glina: Congrats...you will enjoy the program. AZMOMO2: I'm in the evening program.... How do you like your classroom instructor?
  11. Gateway LPN Fast Track

    AZMOMO2, are you in the day PN program or evening?
  12. Gateway LPN Fast Track

    Hi Glina, for some reason it won't let me reply to your message. The same thing happened to me when I applied in Spring 08. I was put on the wait list one semester and then got the same call you did, wanting to know which program I wanted (day or ev...
  13. frustrated with career path in healthcare

    In the Banner system, unless you are an RN, the only thing you are allowed to do is apply online and play the waiting game. I have tried calling HR personally, and that is what they have told me. However, I have not necessarily gone in person to th...
  14. At home jobs

    what about a job with an insurance company? Like on a "nurseline" or something. That's all they do is basically triage and patient education. It doesn't pay much, but you could do transcription on the side too if you really want to stay at home.
  15. CAC pre-requirements

    Speaking of CAC's website, I never could figure out which sites have the nursing program. CAC has so many satellite-branch schools. I noticed there is a new one in Queen Creek. Does anyone know which location the nursing courses are offered at and...
