  1. Capstone Project Help

    OneWhisper replied to OncNurse83's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    For an outcome, you are stating the WHAT of your project. WHAT you are going to acquire, accomplish, produce, deliver, etc. This is specific and - hopefully - MEASURABLE - accomplishments of your...

  2. I failed a nursing course, should I go back?

    OneWhisper replied to Nurse Pure-Spring's topic in General Nursing

    I know it's very discouraging to fail a course and have to retake it! I failed one, and it was right before my last semester, so it was really discouraging! But, I was so close to the end, it wasn't...

    OneWhisper replied to ekedavis94's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Mark Klimek review is really good. He explains things in a easy-to-understand way, giving you principles to be able to answer

  4. Amputation Question

    OneWhisper posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I am SOOOO confused by this. If someone could just clarify this for me and tell me which is correct I would be SOOOO GRATEFUL!! I Read This: Care of Amputations (Mosby's) Elevate FOB briefly (usually...

  5. Amputation Question

    OneWhisper replied to OneWhisper's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Okay, so it's just important to know to elevate and keep hip aligned to reduce contracture. So, do you elevate with pillows or by elevating FOB or

  6. I'm scared to death about upcoming preceptorship.

    OneWhisper replied to Noellenervous's topic in General Students

    It's just like Guy in Babyland said. A preceptor is WITH you. He/she will be with you most of the time. Overseeing you give meds, caring for pts. Eventually, once they see how well you can handle...

  7. type of nurse?

    OneWhisper replied to harvestmoon's topic in General Students

    I say you go for what you want! Your age doesn't matter! It's how you feel and what you feel you can do! I had people in my BSN class that ranged from just out of high school to those who had their...

  8. Pediatric Exam Question Regarding Lasix and Furosemide

    OneWhisper replied to leahashleigh123's topic in General Students

    That's exactly how I read it as well. You explained it exactly how I was thinking it! But, I could be wrong too! The OP didn't say what the instructor said was the correct

  9. how to go about asking a teacher to reconsider a grade

    OneWhisper replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    Agreed. As I said in my previous post, when I was in nursing school we had rubrics for our papers. However, included in those rubrics would be specific points we had to hit on, for example (this is...

    OneWhisper replied to nurse.97's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    He had to have an angio done - What can result from that? What nursing diagnoses would you relate to that? He has to have open heart surgery - Why? What is leading to that? What nursing diagnoses...

  11. Amputation Question

    OneWhisper replied to OneWhisper's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Oh yes! So clear!

  12. prioritizing nursing diagnosis

    OneWhisper replied to nurse.97's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    When thinking of priority diagnoses, think - What will kill my pt the fastest? Also, think of ABCs - Airway, breathing, circulation. So, using that, what do you think your top 3 would be and in what...

  13. IV Medication Administration

    OneWhisper replied to audrey_'s topic in General Students

    You said you don't have much experience doing IV meds in clinicals so far. Do you pick your own patients? If so, try picking pts by looking to see which ones have IV meds that you will be able to...

  14. how to go about asking a teacher to reconsider a grade

    OneWhisper replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    As WanderingWilder said, if it is graded on a rubric, you should be given a copy of it and be able to see what aspects of the paper were being looked at for your grade. When I was in nursing school,...

  15. Nurse manager interview help!

    OneWhisper replied to tnewman1221's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I had an assignment like this in my leadership class for my BSN. I asked some of the nurses during one of my clinicals if they knew of a nurse manager or nurse in a leadership position that would be...

  16. Postpartum care plan in APA format?

    OneWhisper replied to Jamspro's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Agreed!! It seems like way too many people post on here like...here's the pt info...now what? Take some time to at least try and give what YOUR OWN thoughts are. Not just repeating the pt info and...

  17. Postpartum Care Plan

    OneWhisper replied to gemini61's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  18. Clinical Capstone failure?

    OneWhisper replied to patientlywaiting's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    It might help if you made your own post. You will probably get more responses that way. As for your question, it would depend on your classes grading scales. It depends on what your grade was at...

  19. Master Your Drug Calculations BEFORE You Get to Nursing School

    OneWhisper replied to bjwojcik's topic in General Students

    LOVE this post!! This will be so helpful to students!! I wish this was around when I was in nursing school and learning dosage calculations!! I DEFINITELY recommend dimensional analysis! So many...

  20. Calculation

    OneWhisper replied to Zerd Richard's topic in General Students

    I don't think it is either. I found the 600 mg vial equivalent to 1,000,000 units and I did the calculations and came up with 0.003 mg as the answer. I then used the site Wuzzie gave and it gave the...

  21. Health Assessment help

    OneWhisper replied to Cardiacmom29's topic in General Students

    When I was in school I was a single mother of 2. At first, I had the wonderful support system of my family, but then they moved away. I was a complete mess for a while after that!! I didn't realize...

  22. Calculation

    OneWhisper replied to Zerd Richard's topic in General Students

    This is so weird! I never had an IU question like this!! I've never even heard of Crystapen? I looked it up and it says its benzylpenicillin: Benzylpenicillin sodium (a derivative of Benzylpenicillin)...

  23. Where should the fundus be postpartum?

    OneWhisper replied to clumsymoo's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    This should definitely be in your maternity book. You need to look in the postpartum area under uterus and lochia - Use your index if you need to. If it isn't in there, that is a bad choice on your...

  24. I need help on a math problem!! Not making sense to me

    OneWhisper replied to Katieexi3's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    When I learned dosage calculations, we learned about grains and 1 grain = 60 or 65 mg. When I saw that I just really really hoped it would never appear on an exam - WHICH ONE WOULD I USE?!?! - LOL....

  25. Help with psychosocial diagnosis

    OneWhisper replied to JustTrying2MakeIt19's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I would also say that it might point out to his lack of understanding the medical regimen or his determination to follow the medical regimen in order to keep his leg healthy and avoid
