   Thank you guys so much. I came home so stressed this morning. I feel as though I can read and read and read but I really need the practical hands on. One thing I do notice and forgot to mention is that I feel like most of the nurses started in med/su...

   ncoli123 replied to ncoli123's topic in General Nursing

   These are two of the ones I talked myself out of! I'm terrible I spend the entire time researching and then run out of time for writing! I already used Orem in my personal philosophy paper so it would be easy to use her again...i guess it just didnt...

8. theory/models in the OR?

   ncoli123 posted a topic in General Nursing

   Hi everyone. Quick question, I have been searching for days and cant find anything that works. Every-time I think I've found something I realize it doesn't fit! I am trying to find a nursing model or theory that would apply to or is used in the OR. I...

   Hmmm... you seem to have gotten many of your facts wrong. A 2- yr RN has the same exact scope of practice as a 4-yr RN, in the end they both take the same test. Where did you come up with this? Who knows what else you may be mistaken about! Do you re...

    ncoli123 replied to mashamontago's topic in General Nursing

    She knew the answer, she just wanted the rational! Haven't you ever wanted input on something you didn't completely understand? You should feel happy that you have knowledge to share!! If she wanted just the answer she probably could of just googled ...

    ncoli123 replied to mashamontago's topic in General Nursing

    Okay so what... she's going to cheat on the NCLEX by asking questions.... or maybe she just ran across something she didn't get and figured that someone with experience could help her out/explain it better. You know the NCLEX study guides have the an...
