  1. Prioritization question

    cmonkey replied to cmonkey's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    The answer seems to be based on Maslow's Hierchy of Needs. In order for a pt to elevate to the next level in the hierchy, (self actualization is the goa)l, but before getting there a disturbed body...

  2. So...do you believe this?

    cmonkey replied to leonurse's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I could swear they just announced it on NPR the other day. Hm. Maybe I need to clean my

  4. Attending class on pain meds

    cmonkey replied to cmonkey's topic in General Students

    Our chairs SUCK, and I got this thingy called a bactivator and man alive, it's making a difference. It's basically a couple of air-filled bladders in a ... what, a folder. you sit on it and it keeps...

  5. Attending class on pain meds

    cmonkey posted a topic in General Students

    I've managed to hork my neck again. This time I was just walking around the kitchen and all of a sudden, bam! I think it's a pinched nerve. Anyway, would you consider going to class (no pt contact)...

  6. Attending class on pain meds

    cmonkey replied to cmonkey's topic in General Students

    I took half tonight while I was making dinner. I didn't burn myself or the food, and after I ate, I felt much less loopy. So I'll take it first thing tomorrow, eat a big breakfast, and I should be...

  7. Attending class on pain meds

    cmonkey replied to cmonkey's topic in General Students

    Yeah, I figure if I'm going to be in pain anyway, might as well be on campus while I suffer. I wonder if it's leftover from rearranging my hives yesterday. So odd, one minute fine, next minute

  8. HIPAA

    cmonkey posted a topic in General Students

    Since my teachers get it wrong in the ppt slides, I just thought I'd point it out here. HIPAA not HIPPA. It's not about hippos. I can't decide if I should go all flaily on them about it or not. FPS,...

  9. HIPAA

    cmonkey replied to cmonkey's topic in General Students

    Totally not a big deal if it's a typo once in a while. But all the teachers use the same ppts (from the head teacher), so all the students are seeing it wrong on every slide in this class. I like...

  10. How do you not take this stuff home with you?

    cmonkey replied to raianne's topic in General Students

    Your hospice pt needs better pain control for one thing. I hope they manage to deal with that. People die. It isn't always drifting off to sleep surrounded by loved ones. Some people fight tooth and...

  11. For Fun--Kudos 2 Me...The "toot your own horn" thread

    cmonkey replied to tammy1974's topic in General Students

    I just got a 92 on the second pharm test. I can live with

  12. Emotional support for a pt. who is miscarrying.

    (((co3)))

  13. Emotional support for a pt. who is miscarrying.

    cmonkey replied to Lyndsey W.'s topic in General Students

    Don't tell her these things happen for a reason; or that it's better this way; or hey, you're only a few weeks/didn't even know you were pregnant, etc. so why be so upset; don't tell her she needs to...

  14. doing ourselves a disservice

    cmonkey replied to Altra's topic in General Nursing

    I agree, but it's also incumbent on the poster to make it clear by writing clearly. I've seen plenty of posts where it's just too much trouble to try and decipher what's there, so I don't even bother...

  15. How did you cover your tuition costs?

    cmonkey replied to CSellers3's topic in General Students

    I'm doing an ADN program and we're paying for it. Like with checks. No more loans,

  16. Ideal response in certain situations?

    cmonkey replied to meganp's topic in General Students

    The quotes make me think this is a homework assignment. Perhaps you would like to tell us what YOU think the ideal response is, and we could help steer you from there. I've gotten great homework help...

  17. Autonomic drug help

    cmonkey replied to cmonkey's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    THANK YOU! I feel like I've made headway since I posted, but still. Ugh. I ended up finding a lot of ppts and podcast lectures and watched those. If I have enough time to sit and think about it, I can...

  18. Autonomic drug help

    cmonkey posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I *think* I'm starting to get this, but I still don't think I have it quite right. I couldn't tell you any of this off the top of my head, so I don't think I get it. If I got it, I could explain it, I...

  19. Fundamentals test

    cmonkey replied to cmonkey's topic in General Students

    We didn't do review because at least one person wasn't there for the test, but we got our scores and I rocked it. It takes the pressure off in a huge way, since we have four test scores for the class....

  20. Fundamentals test

    cmonkey posted a topic in General Students

    coming up! anyone else had or having one soon? it's a quarter of our grade, so i'm all over study stack and my books. we get very little, if anything, from lecture (other than the ppt slide printout),...

  21. nursing diagnosis - need help!

    cmonkey replied to wjddnjs's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    If she's nursing, then her menses may be suppressed by the hormones. I went 19 months with one kid Bruising? I'd suspect mets to the liver, but I've got a twitchy dx gland. I think her hct and hgb...

  22. nursing diagnosis - need help!

    cmonkey replied to wjddnjs's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I don't think 34 qualifies as older age wrt falls, frankly. Her HPI does, though. I'd consider that the tumor (recurrence?) might affect her balance. If she uses a cane, impaired physical activity...

  23. what mental health problems/risks does this patient have?

    cmonkey replied to kcvo's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I was just thinking that denial isn't generally considered a particularly effective coping mechanism, so to call it "ineffective" seemed redundant. But there it is in my Ackley, so I guess I'd run...

  24. can you make it all the way through nursing school on dishonesty alone?

    cmonkey replied to Desire2Learn's topic in General Students

    I'd like to see someone cheat their way through skills test-outs. Well, if they had an identical twin,

  25. For Fun--Kudos 2 Me...The "toot your own horn" thread

    cmonkey replied to tammy1974's topic in General Students

    Good job! I had an aha! moment with my pharm book today, which is good because I don't get the feeling I'll be having them from the lecture. It makes me think I can get through the class okay, after...
