1. Consent issue

   TurismoDreamin replied to TurismoDreamin's topic in Operating Room

2. Suction cannister disposal required?

   TurismoDreamin replied to NedRN's topic in Operating Room

6. When to reposition the pregnant mother. NCLEX tomorrow!

   TurismoDreamin posted a topic in General Students

   I am trying to study for NCLEX and can't find many instances in my notes or the book where you would need to reposition the mother. Since OB was never my forte, I'm struggling to remember when it...

   TurismoDreamin replied to RadioJenn's topic in General Students

8. Reasons for hemorrhage post CPR

   TurismoDreamin posted a topic in General Students

   I was taking care of a lady a while back in the ICU and I decided to wait for some time to pass to ask this question here. It was my first day of clinicals for the semester and what better way to...

9. ATI questions

   TurismoDreamin posted a topic in General Students

   So our school is making the switch to ATI and moving away from ERI. We will be the first class to take it. I was just wondering if during the proctored tests if they are similar to the practice tests...

10. From Nursing to Dentistry (DDS)

13. 3 nurses laid off

    TurismoDreamin replied to ohmeowzer RN's topic in General Nursing

    Firstly, I highly doubt that there will ever be a health care crisis that results in lay offs because of the imbalance between supply and demand. Sure there are plenty of fluctuations, but you can...

15. 3 nurses laid off

    TurismoDreamin replied to ohmeowzer RN's topic in General Nursing

    Under that same token, how convenient must it be that you can be laid off from a field in such high demand that it doesn't take any time at all to find another job. Certainly the times now are rough,...
