  1. Med Error

    londonflo replied to Rada's topic in General Nursing

    I had a lot of empathy for you but now I am having second thoughts. You didn't know what you were doing. No excuses. Like we would give Salt and a diuretic to "balance' each other out? But...

  2. Med Error

    londonflo replied to Rada's topic in General Nursing

    This was not an accident. But I do sympathize with the OP. Whenever you are thinking you should do something you have never done before (and the OP realized this)....stop and think. Get...

  3. Meeting with Provost-Advise Needed

    londonflo replied to Fern1998's topic in General Students

    You never answered my questions as cited above. What exactly did you want?. Study skills help? Sounds like you have that in order. Group study? you described you do that. Please...I am not...

  5. Med Error

    londonflo replied to Rada's topic in General Nursing

    This is not punitive extra education. The RN did not have the education to recall and act on. I am not saying the OP is not knowledgeable in nursing practice. Rather I am meaning the the relationship...

  6. Med Error

    londonflo replied to Rada's topic in General Nursing

    No the OP did not recognize it in time to correct the mistake. The patient went to ICU for further monitoring, not a reversal or correction of the mistake. As I recommended above the OP would be...

  7. Med Error

    londonflo replied to Rada's topic in General Nursing

    You gave 900 units versus 9. For the future, always use an 'insulin' syringe with any insulin order. Study the syringe for a start.. I do think you should look for a Continuing Education program...

  8. Travel RN to New FNP - Is it worth it?

    londonflo replied to SublimeEMTP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    But for the other patients who need more than a cursory assessment and RX? You are at the wrong care provider. How do we tell patients this....... With NP saying they are interchangeable with an MD?...

  9. Travel RN to New FNP - Is it worth it?

    londonflo replied to SublimeEMTP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    So...to go to a psych NP or MD is just going for Psych medications? Any in-depth assessments? Putting pen to paper is not what I think of first with a health care

  11. Travel RN to New FNP - Is it worth it?

    londonflo replied to SublimeEMTP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Not the same as Medical School, Residency (you said it your self -- MD residents doing 90 hour weeks) Training along with them? like osmosis your absorbed the knowledge Insight and experience...

  12. Travel RN to New FNP - Is it worth it?

    londonflo replied to SublimeEMTP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    No, I read the above on the "new comment" section (unread is the title at the top). Don't worry, I don't specifically seek out any peculiar NP comments but this braggadocios claim reflected to me...

  14. Study plans?

    londonflo replied to Nelly134's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you are an auditory learner you may benefit from someone reading the texts. You said you are a visual learner but important topics cannot be explained with diagrams or videos. I am hoping you went...

  15. Travel RN to New FNP - Is it worth it?

    londonflo replied to SublimeEMTP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Scary. This is why I am avoiding seeing NPs. I was seeking NP care at least 15 years ago for all my healthcare needs....but my recent experiences (from several NPs) have had me change my choice of...

  16. Healthcare Costs and Unvaccinated Patients

    londonflo replied to guest1168940's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Here in my city, there are 2/3rds unvaccinated and 1/3rd vaccinated in the hospital. I gotta say if I went to Las Vegas and knew I had a 1/3rd (33%) of winning versus a 2/3rd (66%) of winning, I would...

  17. Abuse Accusations

    londonflo replied to Jess0418's topic in General Nursing

    Davey Do, I learn so much from you. Please keep giving us your 'pearls of wisdom.' You dealt with such 'crappy' situations and through your determination, knowledge and attitude you navigated the...

  18. Meeting with Provost-Advise Needed

    londonflo replied to Fern1998's topic in General Students

    Were you meeting with the student services counselor to ask for accommodations such as longer test taking time, having someone read the questions out loud to you, a special note taker for class? Did...

  19. Health Assessment Form For Clinicals

    londonflo replied to lilbit_23's topic in General Students

    I taught in the Midwest but the health form is required of our school and many others. The real purpose is to show a student can do all of the physical tasks needed to perform the role of the...

  20. Open heart prep questions

    londonflo replied to pcuRN100's topic in Cardiac

    This brought back memories of my time working on a pre op and post op floor in the 70s. Our patients came in the night before choley's, colon resections, hernia repair, etc. The evening shift (which I...

    londonflo replied to StudentGamerAthlete's topic in General Students

  22. Advocating for a grade appeal for myself and other students. Do we stand a chance?

    londonflo replied to StudentGamerAthlete's topic in General Students

    The last college I worked for had a 'student success plan' that required we meet with any student who failed an exam and what their plans were for doing better and writing out that plan. On the most...

  23. Advocating for a grade appeal for myself and other students. Do we stand a chance?

    londonflo replied to StudentGamerAthlete's topic in General Students

    Did you resend it (as I advised) via the USPS mail? You have no proof when it was received/ read although you sent it. Send it again via a Registered Letter and your will have proof when it is...

  24. Advocating for a grade appeal for myself and other students. Do we stand a chance?

    londonflo replied to StudentGamerAthlete's topic in General Students

    Just this year or a continual slide? another Nurse told me in her school a school cannot to continue to exist with these stats. A community college will not get further funding as...

  25. Study plans?

    londonflo replied to Nelly134's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    And when failing students have come for me for advice, they will admit they study in front of the TV or Youtube. Study alone, study hard and then navigate facebook, you tube
