Here is another way to look at it , which would you address if the patient presented with all three? so obviously it would be B, because the haemorrhage would need an immediate response.

I am endorsing my license from Vermont to California. I trained in the UK. Do i have to do Nursys and send verification of license packet to Vermont, do i have to do both? I'm willing to do both if that is what i have to do. I am a green card holde...

Thanks for your quick response. I have already contacted the school for the transcripts, and have sent them the packet. They messed up the last time with Vermont, instead of giving hours of practice/theory they gave weeks. The whole process took n...

I am endorsing my licence from Vermont to California. I trained in the UK. Do i have to do Nursys and send verification of license packet to Vermont, do i have to do both? Edited to post on International forum, just saw the sticky.

What did the hospital do ? We were always told that in the event of getting a needle stick injury to let it bleed wash it and go to ER and contact Occupational health, then you would be tested for all related infections. ( This was in the UK)

This is an example of restraints gone wrong and poor observation on the nurses part http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/metro/20080730-9999-1n30sharp.html Taken from article........... Jeffrey Christopher, 25, of Bonsall was playing cards wit...

It was not my intention to embarrass you. I happened to grow up with learning imperial and metric. I have a hard time remembering temperatures metric normal body temp 36.9 c = 97.8f , see i'm the stupid one now.

a kilogram is 1000 grams or 2.2lbs 1gram is 1,000,000 micrograms 1gram is 1000 milligrams 1kg is 1,000,000milligrams

Body weight not to be applied to affected limb. I don't know what 2, 3, 4 point means I worked in Orthopaedic Trauma in England and they do not use underarm crutches due to injuries i think rotator cuff injuries.

Do not obtain a throat culture if a child has acute epiglotis as it can cause an obstruction. Rule of nines, 9 = head, 18 = arms, 36 = torso, 36 =legs, and 1= perineum = 100%

Scrubs are provided to staff who require them, and they all have to wear the same colour, example Theatre Staff (Operating Room), laundry service is provided for them. You do not have your own set of scrubs. When i worked in Theatre, i had to change...

I remember back in the eighties when we were wearing white dresses and we had to wear white moccasins. I remember it was hot one year, i was a student and we decided that it was far too hot to wear our tights and we were told off, and were told that...

I meant that we had Df118 in the trolley. We used Co codamol, and Co dyramol. If they were given as TTO's they were not allowed to have a repeat prescription, but over here you can get refills, it's no wonder that people get addicted.

Here's another one Tylenol and Codeine3, i think that is Co Codamol 500/30 with 30mg codeine. I worked in Orthopaedic Trauma before we moved over to the States i do remember we had it in the trolley but we never used it.

I had a feeling that it was df118. do they use that much in the UK. My husbands family use that a lot. I had toothache and the dentist gave me a prescription for that and it left me feeling hungover all day, i don't know how anyone could get addicted...

When i trained and worked as a Staff Nurse in Scotland all staff, Trained nurses and students wore the same white dress, our hats, jackets and name badges were blue, if you were a staff nurse or student, green if you were an EN. If you were an auxill...

Thank you so much, i can't pronounce most of the drugs that I'm supposed to remember.

I was thinking about revels the other day yummy, but alas have not seen them but just as well i'm on a diet anyway. I haven't seen Ribena, or even blackcurrant jam. I'll have to look out for it now.

I'm sorry to disappoint you but you are really going to miss your bread over here, i'm still to find bread that i like , toast tastes weird. Plain bread is wonderful especially the outsiders. You'd have difficulty getting square sausage in England al...

Intro about me first... I completed my training in 1988 in Scotland. I have been married to an American for 20years. We considered moving over to the US many times and we ended up settling in London and then Winchester. Last year we finally decided t...

She would not say what she was. She took a blood sample from him.She did not wear gloves or did she wash her hands before the procedure or afterwards.I told my husband to complain, if he doesn't i certainly will. He told me that she would not let him...

My dh likes the biscuits and gravy, i don't like it. My son refuses to let me buy the tetley tea in Ralphes as he thinks it won't taste anything like british tea. Our kettle takes age to boil and i joke that i can boil the kettle, make the toast , ...

Thanks Suzanne , i just don't want to be breaking any laws. Is it a good idea to work as a care assistant while i'm waiting to sit the NCLEX, i'll need to do something while i'm waiting. I'll get my ss no a few days or weeks after entering the countr...

I am about to apply for my ATT in Vermont and then afterwards after writing NCLEX plan to transfer my licence to California, do i have to always pay licence fee to Vermont and California for the rest of my days, or just the state i live in. Will Verm...

I tried to search for answers before i posted the thread but didn't come up with much. I downloaded the application form for Vermont and i noticed that it asks for your social security no and says that it is manditory also asks if you are willing to...
