    PsychNurseWannaBe replied to pinkchocolate12's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You need to learn CONCEPTS not individual pieces of information. I had a great NCLEX prep book by Mosby. Came with a disk and a book. The questions were the same regardless, so my wife would have...

    PsychNurseWannaBe replied to cperez8's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Some colleges allow you to go for RN and a certain way through, you can sit for your NCLEX-LPN. That's always an option. That way you can earn some money while working and gain experience. Be...

    PsychNurseWannaBe replied to sweetnlow4's topic in General Nursing

    I am not sure if the 2 years comes into play. Maybe get another script and fill

  8. Missed Therapy day

    PsychNurseWannaBe replied to ibtootie's topic in MDS Coordinator Information

    OK... now I am confused (it doesn't take much LOL). He didn't miss 3 consecutive days so it is a COT. If I am understanding this right, COT is a 7 day look back from the ARD. He will have another...

    PsychNurseWannaBe replied to ithalia77's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Ithalia, I am thinking Oldgoat was just trying to point you in the right direction. Sometimes what we see here on the website is someone looking for a quick answer instead of taking the time to...

  10. Just got hired and heard that Zoloft can come up as a Benzo on drug test?

    PsychNurseWannaBe replied to sweetnlow4's topic in General Nursing

    No because they no longer ask for a medication list. If they ask you why you didn't list it, just tell them you forgot to. If you have a valid script, you should be

  11. Just got hired and heard that Zoloft can come up as a Benzo on drug test?

    PsychNurseWannaBe replied to sweetnlow4's topic in General Nursing

    Here they stopped the med lists a long time ago. Someone who bought percocet off the street could just list it as a medication they take. OP I wouldn't worry. If you test positive, you should get a...

  12. How do you pick your vein for an IV?

    PsychNurseWannaBe replied to Chandra Lancaster's topic in General Nursing

  13. How to prepare for the flu

    PsychNurseWannaBe replied to pink_shoes99's topic in Disaster Preparation

  15. How do you pick your vein for an IV?

    PsychNurseWannaBe replied to Chandra Lancaster's topic in General Nursing

    I stay away from the AC because if it doesn't work you can not go distally on the same arm. Start at the hand and go up. Back of the hand is good for me. Feel, feel, feel... I have used a BP cuff...

  16. Careplan interpretation right?

    PsychNurseWannaBe replied to cvenable's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Ugh... now I see this after I went through your care plan. I don't have anymore time tonight. Just remember to use the definitions according to NANDA as this is what most colleges want. I really...

  17. Careplan interpretation right?

    PsychNurseWannaBe replied to cvenable's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    ineffective airway clearance is used when the patient is not able to clear his secretions. for example, ineffective coughing or the inability to remove secretions doesn't make sense to me. this...

  18. Careplan interpretation right?

    PsychNurseWannaBe replied to cvenable's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    How many nursing diagnoses do you need?? It is kinda hard to say if you are on the right path because there is no assessment. I will provide more info in a bit, I have to look at your post again....

    You have a test tomorrow and now you ask for help. Not to be rude, but you should have planned this a little better to give people here time to help out. I wish you luck. Keep searching through...

  21. questions?

    PsychNurseWannaBe replied to persaud86's topic in General Students

    See your academic adviser regarding what you need. Some classes you can take online. I did a few but found I preferred to sit in a lecture so I could take notes and ask

  22. My Instructor is discriminating against me

    PsychNurseWannaBe replied to ouyangxiaoxue's topic in General Students

    Its so hard to give advice since I am not there to see what is going on with the dynamics. I would say to all nursing students... just make sure you are well prepared for clinicals. Instructors can...

    PsychNurseWannaBe replied to trauma_lama's topic in General Nursing

    That's what I was kinda wondering. If they are terminal and they are declining, then it would be an actual. I would still say a terminal person could have an activity intolerance care plan, but the...

    PsychNurseWannaBe replied to Ms_Bee's topic in Private Duty
