    classicdame replied to RoseRyan's topic in First Year After Licensure

    classicdame replied to cnmbfa's topic in General Students

    as a hospital educator I would like to emphasize that the school's code of conduct probably includes adherence to the facility code of conduct. So if you smart off to the CNO (yep. Someone did that...

  11. health assessment class tips

    classicdame replied to Nflower's topic in General Students

    memorization is difficult when the questions require critical thinking, not rote thinking. I found it helpful to have another student to talk it out with. Remember Maslow's. Safety first, then C-A-B...

  12. If I hate being a Cna, should I stop pursuing Nursing?

    classicdame replied to Pattycakes85's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think it depends on what you don't like about being a CNA. Could be it has nothing to do with being a nurse. Heck, I am a nurse and there are some nursing jobs I would not want (although I love the...

  13. Is it even possible to get all A's in nursing school?

  14. Develop a Thick Skin - How?

    classicdame replied to *4!#6's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    classicdame replied to lexijo's topic in Diabetes, Endocrine Nursing

  19. When do you give long & short lasting insulin?

    classicdame replied to healthstar's topic in Diabetes, Endocrine Nursing

    Rapid acting insulin should not be given at bedtime for fear of hypoglycemia. Our facility policy is to check BS at bedtime, but call the MD for an order if over 150. Lantus does not peak so...

  21. VIP treatment. Ethical dilemma for paper?

    classicdame replied to metfan's topic in General Nursing

  24. VIP treatment. Ethical dilemma for paper?

    classicdame replied to metfan's topic in General Nursing
