  2. New Grads in Huntsville. Please read!

    Jedi of Zen replied to ARB84's topic in Alabama Nursing

    So you think that was because of the particular staff that you worked with, or because of the intrinsic nature of the adult vs. peds ER? Did you work at HH, by

  3. Yet another newbie here, wanting to move to AK...any advice welcome.

    Jedi of Zen replied to Jedi of Zen's topic in General Nursing

    What part of Alabama are you from? What brought you to AK during that summer? You can pm me if you

  4. Generic vs. Trade - does it matter which is used in a bioequivalent?

    Jedi of Zen posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Let's say company A creates a new drug, gets it patented, and begins manufacturing it under a proper trade name (and they do so exclusively, under the patent terms, of course). Once the patent ends,...

  5. Generic vs. Trade - does it matter which is used in a bioequivalent?

    Jedi of Zen replied to Jedi of Zen's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Thanks to all for the replies. I'm still a little confused, though. Let me use an example, if I may: A family member of mine has a prescription for what he has always been told by his doctor is...

  6. Quick, Easy Question.

    Jedi of Zen replied to Mesomorph's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    How on earth would they NOT get caught? I would imagine that surely in most if not all states, every nursing employer is required by law to verify that the license in question actually exists before...

  7. Quick, Easy Question.

    Jedi of Zen replied to Mesomorph's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'm only still a student myself, but my understanding is this: After you graduate and take (and pass) the NCLEX - at that particular point in time, you are still NOT an RN, regardless of what your...

  8. Care Plan based on pressure ulcer?

    Jedi of Zen posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I know that in the "related to" aspect of the Nursing Diagnosis of a care plan, you are NOT supposed to use medical diagnostic terminology. ex - you can't say "such and such related to colon cancer"....

  9. Using NANDA Defs. and Class. manual for care plans?

    Jedi of Zen posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I see there have been a few threads recently on care plans, at least one of which I myself had a question about. So I've been wondering - instead of just taking pot-shots in the dark whenever I make...

  10. A few careplan questions.....

    Jedi of Zen replied to Jamie2887's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  11. A few careplan questions.....

    Jedi of Zen replied to Jamie2887's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Hey Jamie, I think you've got the right idea by choosing the COPD instead of the Pressure Ulcer; I thought that the latter would be far easier to do, but I think it is actually quite the opposite....

  12. I feel like a total moron, today in a lecture at school I heard the word holistic,

    Jedi of Zen replied to tiffany311's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Think of it as "whole-istic". Holistic care addresses more than just the nuts-and-bolts behind the physical component of a disease; it also goes beyond that to treat any emotional problems, spiritual...

  13. Hyperpnea vs. Hyperventilation vs. Kussmaul's

    Jedi of Zen posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    (I posted the following on the Pulmonary Specialist Nursing Forum a few days ago. I thought that if anyone could answer this, surely someone on that forum could. However, so far there have been 29...

  14. Hyperpnea vs. Hyperventilation vs. Kussmaul's

    Jedi of Zen replied to Jedi of Zen's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    dee, First of all, thank you very much for responding. I truly appreciate it! Is the paper bag used in order to increase CO2 levels in the person's bloodstream (and thus to stimulate CO2...

  15. Can someone please describe the layers of the pericardium?

    Jedi of Zen replied to tiffany311's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I don't know if this will help or not, but as I understand it, the pericardium is the outer, dense white fibrous layer that is wrapped around the heart. Which is not to be confused with the wall of...

  16. Pay at Huntsville area hospitals

    Jedi of Zen replied to mandasueRN's topic in Alabama Nursing

    True - you make a good point about the benefits. I can see how that puts that figure into some perspective. I'm assuming that if you did get a job at HH and declined benefits as you do now, then of...

  17. Yet another newbie here, wanting to move to AK...any advice welcome.

    Jedi of Zen replied to Jedi of Zen's topic in General Nursing

    cool. thank you very much for stopping to really think about it, btw. i appreciate your honest answer. from what i have heard and read about it, it seems like an amazing place to live. however, like...

  18. Pay at Huntsville area hospitals

    Jedi of Zen replied to mandasueRN's topic in Alabama Nursing

    Hey Manda, Thanks for all of that info! $27 starting out...that's awesome. Again, if you don't mind me asking - are you an ADN or BSN nurse? I'm wondering if your EMT background had anything to do...

  19. Pay at Huntsville area hospitals

    Jedi of Zen replied to mandasueRN's topic in Alabama Nursing

    I am a student, employed at Huntsville Hospital. I have very carefully and casually asked several RNs not what they personally make, but what the starting pay for all nurses is, roughly. Usually they...

    Jedi of Zen replied to Jedi of Zen's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Hello, and thank you for elaborating on that. However, I'm still not entirely sure I understand this from the perspective of

  22. How important are landmarks of the thorax?

    Jedi of Zen posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    How accurate do you have to be when locating the landmarks of the thorax (ie, in order to assess for tactile fremitus, percuss, and ascultate for lung sounds)? And when you're in clinicals (as well as...

  23. Yet another newbie here, wanting to move to AK...any advice welcome.

    Jedi of Zen replied to Jedi of Zen's topic in General Nursing

    If you had to do it all over again, would you come to Alaska on your own? (ie, without your husband and child?) Kind of a personal question, I realize, but I'm just

  24. What causes S3 and S4?

    Jedi of Zen replied to Jedi of Zen's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    according to my textbook, s3 is a normal sound heard in those under 30 (esp children); s4 is also normal & heard in healthy older adults, children, and athletes. otherwise, s3 and s4 are abnormal...

  25. What causes S3 and S4?

    Jedi of Zen posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I realize I'm getting a little trigger happy with my questions, but my very first test in nursing school is going to be on Tuesday. So I guess I'm getting a little jittery at this point... Far as...
