I am a new RN to, But when I was in school( a few months ago lol) We were taught hat when you give an IVP med, You time the follow flush as well, so if you give lasix over at least 2 min you should flush at least 2 min after you give the med, Another...

We just took the HESI exit as well, Unless you have to have a certain score to graduate don't study for it. It is supposed to gauge how well you do on NCLEX and what areas you need to refresh your knowledge in. I got a 996, 94.78 conversions score a...

You need a med-surg book. When i was in Fundamentals we had to get our careplans and patho info from our Med Surge book( only time we used it in Fundamentals was to do care plans) I'm sure there are other texts you can use like Patho books etc but I ...

Check the CD that came with your Med/Surge or critical care books, My Med surge book had some pictures of Hypoxic pts

The same situation happened to me last week in the ER, accept that my first one did not end up getting in at all. After that, i realized I went to deep, refocused. and then I was able to start them the rest of the day, I unsuccessfully started the fi...

Just a side note, I started my ICU/Critical care rotation the other day and almost every patient was a senior citizen, and a lot were from LTC facilities. So you will come across that population alot it seems unless you are in PEDS/maternity etc. But...

I used to think( and still do sometimes) how am i gonna remember everything to for a physical assessment. but if you really take it in a head to toe approach and think of it as parts instead of a whole( not the pt the actually skill of physical asses...

I think i have heard that you can apply to take the NCLEX in any state as long as you apply to the BON(state) you choose to work in. Is this true?? Like if I go to school in PA and i wanted to move to ohio when im done with school, while i am finishi...

I have never heard of any place asking about and hiring based on GPA. Is this standard in the nursing workforce, should we newbies expect this?

What errors where they because i bought that book( if its the one y Ann curren) and i loved it.

I would get the RN notes, Techniques in clinical nursing, and test success if any, all the others might just be a waste. I had a ton of recommend books and most of them i never used.

Did you report this when asked on your lisence application??

Med-Surge clinical is so much fun, don't be scared at all, its lecture that everyone mostly has troubles. Get very familiar with the perioperative phase, RA and OA hip/knee arthroplasty(sp), wound care, IM injections seemed to be popular on the med s...

We used "Fundamentals of Nursing Concepts Process, and Practice by Kozier,Erb" It was a very good book, It was a little wordy at times( i think they all can be) but it's not to bad. If you find the P&P book not working for you go to the library a...

We are responsible for making sure our clients have had bed baths bed changed throughout the entire program. Now that we have more clients, we can now delegate to LPN and CNA a majority of bed baths, bed changes, am care, but thats only if we don't h...

i wasn't turning this into a debate, i read through all of the posts on allnurses and sometimes if something catches my eye and i want to talk about it with people, then ill ask...thats what these boards are for..i support all level of nurses lpn,rn,...

Ohh and I know you never mentioned that. But someone on this thread in their post did and thats why I asked. sorry

I suggest using one for clinical!!!!!! I bought one right before i started Nursing school last year, For some reason i just threw it aside because i though that it might be in the way at clinical. Well The first two semesters I lugged my books around...

why do people keep saying that rn and lpn is the same job, i'm sorry unless i'm missing something rn is waaay different from lpn. in my school you start out as an lpn and after the first 2 semesters you choose lpn or rn. we do what an lpn can do, are...

I love saunders, davis for me wasn't all it was cracked up to be. I like saunders because it has everything a nurse needs. I have both the book and PDA version.

We have to take Public health nursing in my ADN program
