thank you to all of those who have replied. does anyone out there do pt?

hello to allnurses. okay, here is a little background info. i have rop (retinapathy of prematurity), which is an eye conditon in which there is scarring of the retina. basically, i don't really have good vision. i have previously been in an lpn prog...

nice song... :yeah:

it's a cute poem! thanks for sharing...... got any more?:)

hello, just cause. how are you? yes, i have looked at the apta website a while ago and yes i did in fact read the excerpts that you have provided for me. yes, i can clearly see that the two vary. what i assume is that being a pta will in fact give me...

i heard that pta's can do almost everything a pt can do except evaluate and diagnose pts. is this true?

hello classic and thank you for replying. yes, i know the pt's and pta's have to assist others with ambulating. yes i can do that safely. i did much of that in nursing while i was getting my cna.

hello, just cause. thank you so much for replying. actually i am planning to attend college in jan. the only i have is that i'm a cna that i got through my high school. i was going for my lpn, but u read how that turned out. now i wanted to start fr...

what does that mean?

one question: How???

Hey thanks for the laughs.. hahahaha! :yeah::lol2:

i'm sorry to disagree with you. they will kick ya out if ya make too many mistakes... that is what happened to me.. got nervous soo many a time and my insructor was there. i kept thinking " i better not make a mistake" and i did. i had never given th...

oh yeah, I agree with FOXRIDING, make new friends and form study groups if you can. What helps after a long day of nursing school is to know you have a strong support group. You guys will form a strong bond not only as friends, but "nursing buddies" ...

okay. So I recently graduated high school and I completed half of the LPN program there. So I have about 3 months left (I graduate in Dec 18). The pasing rate for all tests and clinicals is 77%. Not bad, but the tests are getting much harder and hard...

okay here's a litle story.. I was in class the other day and we were learning about the s/s of GERD and numerous other GI disorders. We had a test the next day on the disorders of the GI system. After class ended, we had to stay up late studying. Now...

Hello to the OP, yes, It is perfectly alright to rotate injections on a diabetic pt. You do this to prevent lipodystrophy. Whenever possible, try to administer shots on the abd instead of the arms. I do not know if you should give an inj on the arm t...

lol! i see what you were trying to say. yea, 13 books is a lot for 1 semester. and, i thought five books for nursing class was too much. well, including the workbooks, it's five. :lol2::redbeathe:nurse:

ahh... now that makes sense.. missed abortion... thanks for clarifying :yeah::lol2::typing:nurse:

Thank you Elvish, for defending me. I appreciate it. No, I didn't intentionally attempt to hurt anyone's feelings. I just didn't understand the whole "Miss Day B thing." actually, I still don't understand it. Can you explain it do me please?

that was not intentionally aimed at you. and, apology accepted icunurse42051. everyone has a bad day once in a while. and yes, i now see that you too, didn't understand it. if you had really looked at the quote, the one that nobody understood, you wo...

" 'tis better to give than recieve." hehehe!! esp if' it's injections, catheterizations, iv's, doing a digital [color=olive]disimpaction, or enemas! anyone got anything better to add? lol! yes, nurses can be evil sometimes... but we are often more co...

whatda mean "Not really, sorry?" People on the forum are just saying that they don't understand what you had written. I'm a little confused on that one too. Can you please explain what you are trying to say when you put "If your after a dumb diagnos...

thanks for the laughs.. I really needed that. :up::):nurse:

what do you mean by that?? lol! :up::redbeathe

i love the nursing alphabet... it was very cute indeed. it made nursing fun!! plus, if a lay person reads it, i think it makes it easier to understand our med terms. good job... thanks for brightening up my day! :yeah::redbeathe:wink2:
