  1. Morbid obesity and high carb diet?

    firepilot17 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Why would a morbidly obese patient be put on a high carbohydrate diet? I would think the opposite. This pt was admitted for cellulitis of the right lower leg. Why a high carb diet?

  2. Morbid obesity and high carb diet?

    firepilot17 replied to firepilot17's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure, just took note of the high carb diet ordered and stopped reading. I should mention that this is a fictional pt in one of my books and no other information is available. But why a high...

  7. Do I still need to buy text books after purchasing College Network Study Guide?

    firepilot17 replied to heraldie's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Not sure what she is talking about but the TCN guides seem to be very good to me. I am on NC2 and after reading a topic, I went back and skimmed through the chapters they said to review, and I would...

  8. EMT-BASIC to RN?

    firepilot17 replied to WorkingOnIt's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I'm a medic in the excelsior program, and my advice is to get your LPN then RN, not medic then RN. If you get your LPN and get a job, they may help pay for the program. Also if you are an LPN, you can...

    firepilot17 posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

  11. NCLEX Review books

    firepilot17 replied to firepilot17's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I do take the practice tests, and I agree that they are a big help. I was looking for a NCLEX review book that will go over the individual sections as on the NC study guides. For example, an...

    This was not for a nursing job but the hardest interview question was: Define integrity, and tell us a situation where you showed

    firepilot17 replied to RYLEE228's topic in Online Distance Learning

    The first test I bought all the books for and went through the EC study guide. I got a C, and it took a while to go through the books. This time, I spent $36 and bought the college network NC2 study...

  20. The College Network?

    firepilot17 replied to trustar's topic in Online Distance Learning

    In my opinion, and I'm scheduled to take NC1 in the next week, the EC study guides are as vague as you can get. They are not easy to follow to research exactly what they want you to know. Maybe it...
