  1. NCLEX review guides for nursing students

    Vsummer1 replied to time4mydream's topic in General Nursing

    Same here, I use the Saunders NCLEX book and the CD. The outline format they use makes reviewing before a test much easier than reading everything I highlighted in the book! Good

  2. Cytotec

    Vsummer1 replied to L&D_RN_OH's topic in Ob/Gyn

    She stated that this was an induction for PIH, the patient had

  3. stethoscope queries

    Vsummer1 replied to road runner2003's topic in International Nursing

    Great Idea. That is why they made that nice little ignore feature. Thank you for reminding

  4. Who Should NOT do nursing as a Career?

    Vsummer1 replied to gwenith's topic in Nursing Career

    How about someone who had children removed from their custody due to neglect and outright abuse. They believe that physical punishment, for example beating that causes bruising, is justified. A few...

  5. Are LPNs Second Class Citizens?

    Vsummer1 replied to flashpoint's topic in General Nursing

    Good question! I think every State may be different on what they allow each to do. The State BON regulates that, so what I may consider to be an RN task may be an LPN/LVN task elsewhere (such as IV...

  6. @#%*!! (long.....sorry)

    Vsummer1 replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in General Nursing

    DITTO. No way would I have been able to do this without the instructor in the program I attend. I know you are an awesome nurse, but remember, YOU ARE NOT OBLIGATED to USE YOUR LICENCE to let a...

  7. Help with care plan

    Vsummer1 replied to TnkrBell's topic in General Nursing

    Remember the nursing process: ADPIE. Since assessment is first, I would not be able to write a post and get the answers for my careplans. The assessment is every minute detail including resources of...

  8. Are LPNs Second Class Citizens?

    Vsummer1 replied to flashpoint's topic in General Nursing

    LPN's are not 2nd class citizens, they are a needed component of a well run unit. BUT they work UNDER the RN's licence. So, whatever an LPN does, the RN is responsible for. So if the RN only has 3,...

  9. RN school

    Vsummer1 replied to bwhittington's topic in General Nursing

    Many programs offer a "bridge" program where as long as you have the pre-req's and the other classes needed for a degree (philosophy, chem, etc.) you can enter only the last year. Many people I go...

  10. Attention all clinical instructors, would you do this??

    Vsummer1 replied to RN_2_B_5/2004's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    We have the opposite problem. We are the am'ers who are REQUIRED to come in the night before. Oh helloooo, Sunday evening I have to come to the hospital for my assignment? Whatever for? The clinic...

  11. Welcome to the ER. Please observe the following rules. (mild rant)

    Vsummer1 replied to V. Nightingale's topic in Emergency

    I understand what you are saying, and I cracked up at your vent too. BUT... here is a situation that happened TODAY. One of my classmates had to come to clinic or she would be dropped. This am, her...

  12. My teacher humiliated me in front of the class

    Vsummer1 replied to twintoo's topic in General Students

    I am in my peds rotation so am more than halfway done with school (hallelujah!!!!) We have two clinical groups, the morning group and the afternoon group. The morning group tends to have much more...

  13. are you a grade conscious conscious student?

    Vsummer1 replied to reign's topic in General Students

    No one, not one person, makes A's at the school I go to. Many of us have come close, but never an A. Some schools just grade harder than others, and the grade scales are different. So be it, if I...

  14. Nurse w/"Shingles"....??

    Vsummer1 replied to lLiNAx's topic in General Nursing

    Anyone who has had chickenpox can have an episode of shingles. It would be impossible to deny everyone who has had chickenpox from working in the hospital.... However, just as with a cold sore...

  15. Q about Nursing School credit hours

    Vsummer1 replied to marilynmom's topic in General Students

    1) adding ONE unit to these 4 unit classes to accurately reflect the class time would NOT triple your tuition. One unit would add only one unit of cost. The CATALOG states a 4 unit class is 16...

  16. Q about Nursing School credit hours

    Vsummer1 replied to marilynmom's topic in General Students

    And there you have the problem: Too much time is spent in school to work at an outside job! Therefore, you must get financial aid (or have other sources of income). With them NOT making the credit...

  17. Q about Nursing School credit hours

    Vsummer1 replied to marilynmom's topic in General Students

    I get so angry when I think about the scam these programs are pulling. This semester is only worth 8 units, all nursing. 9 would put us at 3/4 time, but no -- they won't change it even though we...

  18. Nurses, do you routinely do beds and baths?

    Vsummer1 replied to Rapheal's topic in General Nursing

    As a student, I am responsible for total care. However, the hospital I am doings clinical in has a CNA, an LPN and an RN that are responsible for the total care and they are good at their jobs!...

    Vsummer1 replied to lpnga's topic in General Nursing

    Hmm.. recognition for what? I am just a lowly student. I was just merely repeating what my instructor would ask before I so much as attempted to give a common drug, such as ibuprofen, to a patient....

  22. pct debate

    Vsummer1 replied to lpnga's topic in General Nursing

    Okay, so you know how long the half life is. Can you tell me what systems it involves? Think about your ABC's. What other meds could have an effect on that? The excretion, the metabolism... start...

    Holy crap! If aspirin had to go through the FDA as meds do now, you wouldn't be serving aspirin to anyone d/t contraindications and side effects. You say Advil as if it was a class of meds or...
