sephinroth

Thanks for the reassuring and informative comments. I'll try my best. (oh god, my community service is coming up this summer. Wish me luck!)

What's the difference? Hmm, give me an example so i can grasp the concept.

i was chatting with my friends on a similar forum, and i was told that one of my friends has a renal lesion. well, i told him this(with translation): and then, one of my friends, who also is a nursing student, told me that it was giving false reassurance, and that if ever i do become a rn, my license could be revoked if i did this. omg!!!!!!!!!!! :uhoh21: it's scary! well, i had tests before, and it was asking for the "most therapeutic" answer, and my answers were like : "im sure you'll be fine" i do get the rationale why it is highly not recommended, because if the patient doesn't end up fine, his relatives or something could come after your head and say "you said he'd be okay! liar!" but, how do i nicely say that "there's a chance your renal lesion could damage your kidneys and potentially ruin your life, literally." in a nice way that isn't misleading and isn't a form of false reassurance?

I would say that the answers are none of the above. If a patient tells you something is wrong, the first thing you need to do is to assess again, am i right? After further assessment, you can determine if the patient has compartment syndrome(i dont even know what that is until i read it here) and then call a doctor with a cast cutter.

ours is 83% in major subjects, 80% in minor, 81% qualifying GPA for next enrolment. But the formula my school uses is Score / Total no of items x 50 + 50. Any opinions on this?

Thanks for all the tips guys! I'm on sembreak, but this actually got me inspired to study more. Thanks for all the resources! I'll be practicing on tomatoes pretty soon, just got to buy some and also some syringes. Thanks again! :)

Even if you do learn IV in school, you'd still need to take up an IV course so you can acquire your IV license. Nurses w/o IV licenses aren't allowed to practice IV.

Subjective. Pain can only be felt by the patient. Am i right? O_O

I dont know if someone already made a similar topic, but i need tips on giving ID and SQ injections. I tried giving an ID injection, but the bevel(is it right?) pierced through the other side of my partners skin, leaving it skewed. And i keep shaking, and frankly, i'm quite terrified of giving injections. My second attempt for an ID injection, yet again another failure, i ended up giving him a SQ injection. Any tips????

yeah, that was mentioned by the 3rd years. I have a question for all you nurses. Is it okay to be a nurse? I mean, im not sure if i really want to be a nurse, plus i'm a guy. I'm not really the service oriented person,and i'm not good with people. Did you ever have qualms about taking up this course? Some said that when you get to your internship or on job training, then you'll know. I know its sad to be discouraged by ANATOMY (god i hate this subject <_ but i have been having second thoughts. comments and insights would be appreciated.>

Hi All. I'm sephinroth, or seph for short. I'm a second year nursing student, and i would like to say hello to all. I also have a question because i have this anatomy online test and i don't know the answer... What is the best place to give an IM injection? Gluteus Medius , Maximus, or the deltoid? I'm confused. One professor said Deltoid, and another said the Gluteus Medius... anyone help?
