i am cuurently in nursing school and my dream is to become a nicu nurse and possibly a neonate practioner. i do not know a whole lot about the nicu and was wondering if anyone could just give me some information on it. i am looking at a hospital in...

I'm in the second year of the BSN program and we started our summer practicum on Tuesday and I have been having a hard time. Yesterday I missed a med and today I missed a flush for one of my patients. I can not seem to get anything done and have be...

HI, my name is Lacey I am 22 yrs old and I am currently in the 2nd year of the BSN program and cant wait to be done! I have two years left, I will graduate in May 2008.

I did not have bio before micro it was not required and i passed, it was the first college class i had taken and i took it with anatomy, maybe if the school had requirements like the others i would have done better. It is possible to pass though i d...

this is probably a common sense question but i was unsure, i was reading a post on home births and they were talking about the mothers not having iv's so they drink a lot of water and then the baby has brain damage. can someone explain this to me?

WOW, I am sorry that this thread got so heated. I did not mean to cause a problem I was just curious and looking for an answer. It was something I had never heard before and thought maybe one of you could help me understand it. I joined allnurses ...

This is where I read it, maybe I am just reading the sentence wrong

Sorry didn't mean to post a reply

This is probably a stupid question but can anyone explain to me about peak and trough levels. I had a pharmacology class last sememster but now I can't seem to remember and it was explained in a confusing way by the instructor. Any help would be ap...

I was having a lot of trouble with my feet. I have a pair of rockers and they are working fairly well. I think my feet are always going to be sore after a 12 hr shift but these seem to be working for me

Thanks for the replies that helps so much :)

I have a littman and i love it. It cost me about 70-80 dollars.

I have problems flicking the syringe with my finger hard enough, so i use the barrel of my pen and give it a good wack and it will usually go up and out.

I have always wanted to get one but when I see elders that have them and they are all deformed and you can't tell what they are it stops me from getting one.

I think that it should be used for medical purposes. Why deprive these people who are suffering if they don't have to. I do not agree that it should be legalized for recreational purposes, I don't know how well it would work to legalize one and not...

That is a hard one, I don't think there will be a problem with your fiance being a chiropractor, I love mine they do a world of good. I do not want to sound judgemental or cruel but I think you might have more of a problem with the doctors and the wa...

I always say nick-u but most of the time I get a blank stare, so I end up having to explain anyway :) I wouldn't worry about sounding funny when you say it, either one should be fine.

Excellent post those things are all important. I had my OR rotation a couple of months ago and those are all things that you need to know. Very complete list. About the passing out, I had one doctor tell me if I started to feel funny to sit down o...

i am in the bsn program at bryanlgh college of health sciences in lincoln ne!! it is the best nursing school, excellent teachers that really care about you as a person. highly recommended for anyone looking for an excellent school. they just built ...

I know that you have already gotten this info from others but the first test is always the hardest. As for critical thinking that is something that I struggle with it is hard and the person who said the tests are different from other courses is corr...

I live in Lincoln NE and i that Southeast community college here offers it but you would have to drive. There are several community colleges in Omaha and one of those should offer it. Good Luck

At my school they have one class of about 40 students every semester so they only offer the classes we need once and the whole class goes at that time as for clinicals they usually have them on two days because of size and number of instructors for t...

I am currently in Nursing School and yes it is stressful and can be difficult. There are days when I would love to quit (mostly just during lecture and tests) but when I get to clinical it makes everything seem not as bad. I love taking care of peo...
