    Nursing Theorists

    BBFRN replied to Spidey's mom's topic in Research

    oops- forgot to add why I think she's so influential. Most hospital orientation programs and career ladder programs are based on her Novice to Expert model. In fact, at the hospital where I used to...

    Nursing Theorists

    BBFRN replied to Spidey's mom's topic in Research

    Patricia Benner is one of my favorites, because she actually studied nurses, and spoke with them for her Novice to Expert learning theory. She's very concrete, and is not as 'out there' as many other...

    Nsg Diagnosis in CPNE study guide

    BBFRN replied to shawnnarae's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I also want to add that in contrast to what someone else said about using "risk for infection" with anyone who has an IV, you will fail the PCS, if the patient is receiving antibiotics, so be very...

    Nsg Diagnosis in CPNE study guide

    BBFRN replied to shawnnarae's topic in Online Distance Learning

    For the record, I agree that increased tracheal secretions would usually warrant an "ineffective airway clearance" nsg dx. I don't want to prolong the argument, but that would be the clearest...

    BBFRN replied to charlesfonyanho's topic in Online Distance Learning

    i totally agree. i think most nurses nowadays get the bsn after the asn in order to either go on to grad school, to teach, or to facilitate job advancement. all of those options are going to require...

    How do I become a CMT in Kentucky?

    BBFRN replied to kitkat278's topic in General Nursing

    Thread moved to KY Nurses forum to encourage more responses. RealNurseWitch is correct that CMTs are used in nursing homes in KY, as well as MD offices. I think we call them QMAs here, don't we?...

    IV cannula size/ overtesting

    BBFRN replied to rjrule's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    It depends- if you're a level 1 trauma ED, you're probably going to want those 18g IVs (plus, the EMTs will go ahead and put in the biggest garden hoses they can en route). I also like them for...

    I joined this site 6 years ago when I was a LPN, and like Tweety, it was this site that gave me the gumption and drive to later get my RN, then my BSN. I will start grad school in August. I never...

    BBFRN replied to shawnnarae's topic in Online Distance Learning

    That should be one of the questions you ask the pt's nurse when you get report from her, if you plan on using that as a nsg dx. You will be starting your care plan before you see the patient, but you...
