mixed resp/metabolic acidosis. Also called combined. So basically bad compensation. Anion gap should really be done. As well as other labs to help narrow things down with H&P to help too. SarahRN ABG's on YouTube is helpful and educational!

My friend failed the NCLEX-RN twice and she ended up hiring a tutor. I told her it was dumb but this lady was awesome she helped 4 pass the NCLEX that I know personally. 3 for NCLEX-RN and one for the pn. She actually did Google meet and zoom and did...

This is a doozy! Some questions I have... Why would you attend a nursing program so far away and is there one closer? Have you checked to see if this school is accredited? Were you physically attending this college and had covid sympt...

Did you find out if you passed? I did mine several times and I kept getting the good pop up. I am not sure if the PVT is legitimate but it seems like it is for the good pop up. There are those who have received the bad pop up and still passed.

I'm guessing you're in Illinois, as continental seems to only be discussed for Illinois nursing students but I could be wrong. Most states, regulation of nursing is their "NRB" but Illinois it's actually continental testing services that approves eve...

Wife: Deficient knowledge RT sleep deprivation, social isolation, high caffeine intake, AEB elevated heart rate and increased respiratory pattern when seeing "SATA." Husband: Risk of being single RT lack of knowledge regarding NCLEX style questi...

Reading this late but in this day and age, weed is more potent. One hit can definitely debilitate you. I see it all the time in the ED. It raises kids HR's and BP and they basically start having panic attacks. I would say to watch your drinks closer ...

I had to do an appeal and won mine but that was a few years ago. I ended up transferring after the DON was asked to resign later that year. I went back and forth on thinking I was wrong and that it would come back to me and the other students that wo...

I heard essential oils can protect you. Just bring them to your school and they'll get it. Get with the program and watch Balto!

Humans make mistakes and just because we are nursing students, it doesn't make us perfect. Tardiness happens, although coming to class drunk and smoking in a hospital is ridiculous, I hope they learned their lessons. I just don't get how someone can ...

I took micro, speech, and sociology online during a summer. It was a lot of info but it can be done!

Just for clarification "take home quizzes" or homework, and you use a book or the internet isn't cheating. Teachers aren't dumb they know students will look up the answers...it's up to the student to comprehend the material and if by chance they grad...

You probably need to get a criminal attorney now. I hope things work out for you because that's just crazy to me

Two people should NOT be lifting or moving 400 lbs, whether it be a person or thing. I would watch what you say in ear shot of patients because I'm sure it would offend anyone hearing that even if they know they're heavy. You should've stood your gro...

That's not true. The attorney can talk for you. So you don't further criminalize yourself. If you have all the classes for that BSN it's most likely you have all the classes for an ADN program. You might just have to apply to a different nursing prog...

I know we use to have a patient sign a document refusing their diets. But you just need to make sure you're always documenting. You can't force any patient to eat or do shower or to do anything. We can try and persuade and educate the patients letti...

Unless there is a disciplinary hearing I doubt you will be getting in any actual trouble like criminal trouble. You might have to apply to a different nursing program though. But you do need an attorney no matter what the school says. You need to ask...

This is Maryland university page I got this fro --Perhaps most importantly, before any disciplinary proceedings take place an attorney can be of assistance in trying to negotiate with the university officials what kind of ramifications the student mi...

You need that lawyer. Trust me on this. **How Can An Attorney Help At a Disciplinary Hearing? An attorney can be helpful at the disciplinary proceedings by providing advice on what to say, and more importantly, what not to say. Even though this is a...

If you weren't officially charged though, like you're record is clean then they can't really do anything. Is the nursing program through this university you're at? It's ONLY if you have charges on you're background check, where they can actually de...

1. Is nursing school hard? * Yes! But it sounds like you're a smart girl so you should be fine. Just have confidence!  2. What math classes are required. (I am in advanced algebra right now, which is one step under pre-calc at my HS, however, I fi...

From what you said you aren't charged with anything. They do a background check at the beginning of nursing school and unless the cops came to the school, arrested you, read you your rights, and you went through court then you're fine. Technically t...

We got cards too...it's suppose to be funny...I guarantee their reason behind it wasn't malicious. We all thought it was great when we got them. I think divorce is kind of extreme.

He doesn't like blood. All about the PPE! Gloves, and mask. Not an N-95 tho!

Funnnny one---long but worth it! I was working as a certified nursing assistant in an LTC facility, and a doctor was coming in for nursing home rounds. We had about 4 Pts to a room. So I am in the room taking care of one of the patients and the docto...
