1. what's a good stethoscope for nursing school?

   Scrubz replied to jnmoore02's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

   I bought myself a Littman Master Cardiology stethoscope and it was worth the money. Auscultate an apical pulse with a cheap stethoscope and then compare with a Master Cardiology and you'll notice an...

   Scrubz replied to jnmoore02's topic in Male Nursing Students

   I recommend the Palm TX. It's reasonably priced compared to everything else out there. They usually go from $250-300, and I got mine for $250. They don't have all the little extra things that a...

3. Needing words of encouragement

   Scrubz replied to richwv's topic in Male Nursing Students

   School is tough yeah, but it's the only way you're going to become an RN. Just think, every RN out there has went through some form of school to get to where they are. And you do learn a lot of the...

   Scrubz replied to jnmoore02's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

   I've got a Littman Master Cardiology stethoscope and it works great. It's a little on the expensive side, but it's worth it. If you can dish out the money I'd go for one of those electronic...

5. Bath Bags

   Scrubz replied to esokane's topic in General Nursing

   The hospital I work at right now uses the same things. I don't think they're all that great though becasue you really can't give someone a good bath with one of those. Maybe if you used these every...

6. Drug cards or drug guide for clinicals??

   Scrubz replied to Jado0114's topic in General Students

   I strongly suggest buying a PDA so you can get a good medical dictionary and a good drug guide on it. It's been priceless in my clinical sessions. If I'm getting ready to pass a drug and don't know...

7. CNA salary

   Scrubz replied to HisTreasure's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

   I make $10/hour, but since I work nights I get a 13% pay diff., so that makes it $11.30. Since I live in a small town I think it's pretty good

8. I HATE this!!!!

   Scrubz replied to BellaBloo's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

   Agreed.. What you don't like touching other people? I would not reccomend nursing at all. Everyone doesn't like at least one or two aspects of nursing, but what you don't like is an essential...

9. Stethoscope?

   Scrubz replied to Coco06's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

   Agreed.. Mater Cardiology if you want to dish out the bucks for it. Far better than any base model stethoscope though. Worth the money. Consider it an investment. And if you really want to dish...

    Scrubz replied to Asklepios's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I think everyone approaches school with a certain mindset of what it's going to be like, only to learn that reality is much different. Wheter this is good or bad for the student depends on the...

    Scrubz replied to NurseDaddy2006's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I had an OB class last semester that I thought about skipping the last clinical just because we never did anything. The last day we were there we seriously sat around for 6 hours and did absolutly...

14. Using Propofol for sedation on vented pts?

    Scrubz posted a topic in General Nursing

    Is Propofol used on vented patients? Since the half-life of Propofol is so short wouldn't it be more justified using a longer activing sedative? I assume that Propofol isn't used for long-term...
