As a new grad on a med surg floor I have had so many days where i honestly wanted to quit!! But im happy to share my great last night! All my patients were angels and i went to help an elderly man to the BSC after he urinated on his sheets. As I was...

thanks!

great point!!! your right whats wrong with this picture? guess women goods are more sacred

the male commenting on how "gross" it is in my opinion is just immaturity. I think if a male is uncomfortable with inserting foley's on females or inserting vaginal meds (which is uncommon on a med surg/tele floor) then all he has to do is ask a fel...

With halloween now over, does anyone have any ouija board stories? I recently stayed at the Myrtles plantation in St. Francisville,la and was too scared to bring a ouija board. Like many, im fascinated about the idea. Please share:uhoh21:

Hi. I have been beating myself up about my first mistake in nursing. Im a new rn grad and have been on tele for 3 weeks. My pt was chronically anemic and has received blood many times. when i arrived for my shift the other shift nurse showed me how t...

most women ovulate 14 days after the first day of last period. i dont think its possible unless its a miracle. a sign of ovulation for me is minor ovary pain and stringy discharge. But, i always have protected sex because CONDOMS ARE EASIER TO CHANG...

I am a new grad also and wanted to work in the ICU. But, my hospital quit allowing new grads because so many were deciding that it was too overwhelming. I understand why since alot of time and teaching is put into that newbie and then they leave. So ...

i passed the first time with 75 questions, 3 calculations in which i know i got one wrong, and so many select all that apply i couldnt count thhem. i thoight i failed.... but passed!!!!

I have the same problem too. I start orienting in 3 wks and am mostly scared about turning bright red when i give report. im trying to just focus on my hard earned accomplishments and remind myself i have nothing to be ashamed about!! i was the girl ...

Im a first trimester nursing student currently doing my clincals on med surg floor. Im not so sure I like it here b/c I cant read the messy orders(I for some reason get really mad when people write messy!), I hate giving baths, and I dont feel like i...

Guilty!! I like the men crying post!

William carey is hard. it is quite easy to get in. The formula for entrance is based on GPA, the HESI score, and how long you went to carey(prereq's). Most teachers are great, especially the ones displaced from new orleans and gulfport. Only a coupl...

Ummm hello, hemorrhage is the most important. I would rather be in pain (pain level or surgery was not specific) and hyperventilate than to HEMORRHAGE and lose consiousness or die. If your patient just had a coronary stent and the sheath site check ...

I use to consider myself smart untill I got to my last clinical/class in nursing school...COMPLEX.... my teacher is new and i'm sure she makes up most of her questions. I was three questions away from passing last time, and I just failed my first te...

know what an antipyretic is!!!! Hand washing handwashing, asepsis, portal of entry, pain is fifth vital sign, nosocomial infections, ADPIE, open verses closed questions. just a few... good luck!

Is it true that lakeview regional hospital is private, and will therefore send rn's home if not needed? Im a student and heard not to work there b/c hours are not always guarenteed. Also, do you have to have experience before ST, Tammany or Lakeview ...

I am in need of basic information about my pt.'s Dx. I have a care plan due and confused about the pathophysiology of a massive upper gi bleed believed to be due from an aortic-enteric fistula found by expl. laparotomy. My med surg book goes on ple...
