  1. Most Common IV Push Meds on Med-Surg

    Morphine, lasix and protonix. I want 10 prefilled syringes of morphine at the beginning of the day! And, they will surely be gone by noon.
  2. I Passed with 75 questions!!!

    I just took the NCLEX and it cut me off at 75. I really hope I passed. does anyone know if it is more common to fail in 75???
  3. Nurses struggling with mental illness

    well, I was just wondering since it is in a required declaratory order for the BNE application/licensure. I am not trying to rub anyone the wrong way.
  4. would you be a RN for $11.00/hr?

    no way! you can't even afford the insurance! I'd rather keep my cush desk job at $15 without the backaches and hurting feet!
  5. This might seem stupid or overly explanatory, but it took me a year to figure it out. Focus on the Nursing Interventions for particular diseases/procedures. I spent SO much time trying to memorize the pathophysiology, and kept noticing that the quest...
  6. Nurses struggling with mental illness

    Thank you so much for that clarification!
  7. Nurses struggling with mental illness

    wow, I had no idea. It was one of the prescreening parts of the ADN program. There is also a spot in the BNE website for renewal purposes that says: "...other renewal questions asks "In the past 5 years, have you been diagnosed with or treated or ho...
  8. Nurses struggling with mental illness

    It was my understanding that nurses with mental illness or a history of mental illness were not allowed to practice. Short term depression was evaluated. Can someone clarify this for me? Personally, I would rather a nurse have it diagnosed and be tak...
  9. Where is the class of 2007 at?????!!!

    I hope its 2007. The way psych and peds are going this semester, you never know! I can't wait till Dec.
  10. Highest BP you have ever seen on a pt

  11. BSN's vs. Community college

    What do you call an RN with her ADN? A: an RN What do you call an RN with her BSN? A: an RN What do you call an RN who passed her NCLEX? The same NCLEX that both groups took? A: an RN BSNs may go to school longer, but ADNs have to work harder to get ...
  12. "I don't want to do bed side nursing"...SAY WHAT!

    I think it is silly for everyone to have to start on a med surg floor. It is great for some people and a nightmare for others. Personally, it's not for me. Now, this isn't saying I am above it or that I would be neglectful to patients. But I sure wou...
  13. Most RN's first borns?

    I'm the middle child, second girl. ETOH dad could be applied.
  14. Care Plans Help Please! (with the R\T and AEB)

    That's what I thought. Thanks for the clarification. I suppose I will just continue with it until I finish my class.
  15. Fear keeping me behind?

    Seriously do not let the math frighten you! If you can solve ratios, you can solve about 95% of RN school math. Go for it!
  16. I'm too tired to answer this thread. Why? Because I am a nursing student who just finished an ethics paper, a group presentation, clinical at the cancer center with aching feet and back, Then took a test today, have another test tomorrow, my student ...
  17. Moms who want to feel absolutely NO pain

    I'm thinking the nurse who said to behave like the 7 cm woman is NOT a good nurse. Everyone experiences pain differently. She would have been better by shutting her mouth and giving the 2 cm woman some meds.
  18. Moms who want to feel absolutely NO pain

    I don't work in OB... but personally, with my daughter, 0730: started IV, hung pitocin, 0800- anesthesiologist came in to start my epidural. Felt no pain until the epidural was dc'd. It was wonderful. The extent of my labor pains was "pressure" Pushe...
  19. Transferring Nursing Schools

    I just transferred too. It's one of the biggest hassles I have ever endured. Just make sure you have all transcripts. I am not moving again until I graduate this time! Even if I have to stay behind by myself while my family moves!
  20. Care Plans Help Please! (with the R\T and AEB)

    Well, I had 2 different teachers explain it both ways. No student input. I wrote it to coincide with my current prof. but I just can't replace it without knowing why. And it seems that all the text books are supporting the original, first way I learn...
  21. APA style Journal article summary, HELP!

    I like the citation machine! Thanks!
  22. websites about health ethics?

    oh yeah, and it can't be older than 5 years... Let's narrow it down just a little more!

  24. Care Plans Help Please! (with the R\T and AEB)

    So, I thought I had it all down. But now, I am having problems with the Risk fors. I have always thought it was Risk for _________ RT _________ but no AEB or AMB because that would prove it was not a risk dx. But transferring to a new school has chan...

    It's 100% at my school.
