American auto manufacturers should go bankrupt. Build products worthy of my money and trust and I will quit buying Nissan, and Toyota cars and trucks. Real simple. Keep getting hair in my burger and I stop eating there. You deserve to fail because yo...

You had better slap a pretty smile on your face when you go to the bedside because this is the reality of the situation. Avatar scores are based on your pt's perception of your performance. Items they deem important, such as how prompt you are to ans...

As long as this arguement exits, nursing wages will not rise to the level that they should. Being a competent professional requires more than feeling someone's pain. I never asked my dentist how they really felt about me. If they really like and care...

How does your comment pertain to the OP's question?

Overriding is the process of obtaining medications not on the pt profile that is stored in the pyxis. Ie, doc comes to floor and orders stat Ducolax for nopoopoo. If allowed, pyxis can be overided to obtain meds not set up by phamacy, yet.

Take an alcohol prep and put it in front of you fingers with your fingers proximal to the insertion site. Run the prep pad along the tubing in front of your fingers, while your non-dominant hand stabilises the tube to prevent pulling against the stic...

So you are saying that you should always have interest to pay to a lender because you gain what....... So interest on a loan is an asset? Are we going to have the discussion about how you can write off interest on a home but it's a good thing because...

There is NO such thing as GOOD debt. You can claim that people that choose to not finance their education are being snobs. I consider that people that refuse to live beyond their means, pay interest to banks, and credit cards are chosing to be respon...

You might check with your program to see if Kaplan will substitute for a failed second HESI. It did at our school.

You might start by lowering your expectations of what you consider acceptable for NS. First, there are a LOT of smart people in your class. It's not like A&P, Micro, etc. It's hard. I had a 4.0 prior to NS and made one A prior to completion. Numb...

Sounds like Dave Ramsey. I'm better than I deserve as well, went through NS with no debt, and continue to be that way. I'm weird, I owe no one for anything. Normal is dead broke, and one pay check away from homeless.

Do the study group thing, only if it works for you. I can't study with a bunch of people yaking and talking about nonsense, plus my time is really important to me. You can believe what you want to about everyone being in this together but it's really...

Reality check. If everyone in the program is failing every single test and still graduating, then your school is using a ploy that uses stress at lower levels to enhance learning. Pick up a mental health nursing book and read for yourselves if you do...

We have an admission specialist that starts IVs and does the pre-op and admission forms, If, she is on our floor at the time. Otherwise, we do everything.

You can do it!

I am praying now for her recovery, for her strength, and for your strength as well.

Have you ever heard of pilot talk or script? Have you ever heard a honest to goodness pilot in the middle of crashing? I am a 20000 feet, stick is not responding,etc. This guy is fighting for his life! The reason that he can remain calm talking is be...

Funny, I kind of relate well to the pts in psyc care. Not real sure what that says about me. I've dealt with a number of pts with "issues" on my med/surg floor, so you will run into the pts on any floor. I feel the same way about OB, really enjoyed i...

We had VCE for our pediatric clinical rotation. I thought it would be like you were really taking care of multiple pts and learning to prioritize care, but they really blow. We had that and a workbook that had to be done, busy work in my opinion.

So, what you are saying when you state that the public has no idea what nurses do, so they should at least have a BSN to practice? And, since you have less clinical experience during you can quickly become better once you have worked as a nurse. Let'...

I took the HESI last week and scored 999, or about 93%. We had about a twenty five percent pass rate for the exam. There is a decision tree in Kaplan that would really help with some of the questions. Remember Maslow, and don't read more into the que...

I know it's not what you had, but why not Airway Clearance Ineffective?

We had to wear white uniforms until I got it changed through our student organization. I don't miss whites one bit and I don't think you were disrespecting me for saying you don't want to wear white. It is a very impractical color for nursing. At my ...

Just for the record, an ADN program is a four year program if you count the hours of prereqs needed to have before the program. Second, the students that transition into the BSN program from other degree programs still have a BSN, yet according to t...

I never did a cervical check and I was in the middle of everything I could do. I have three kids that I watched be born, so it really wasn't a big deal for me. I really enjoyed the vag births. One pt's husband left the hospital to run an errand and I...
