    APBT mom replied to Creamsoda's topic in General Nursing

    Most GYN's say not to douche for the reasons your thinking because it takes away the good bacteria. Like the pp mentioned is the patient on any type of antibiotics. I know several that have in the...

  3. Precaution Carts

    APBT mom replied to Butternut's topic in General Nursing

    What extra is in an isolation cart that you would need constantly for the care of a patient with HIV? If I'm taking care of any patient and I need a gown I grab one same with masks. If I'm going into...

  4. is this correct? this is my ncp for CVA bleed patient (unconscious)

    APBT mom replied to chamisrielkat's topic in General Nursing

    What are you using as the NANDA? The only thing I would change is what I bolded. The way I read that line it should say assess the patients ability..... You know it's a patient so state that. Other...

  5. strategies in studying

    APBT mom replied to namula's topic in General Nursing

    That was very rude. The OP wanted tips for studying not a jab about coming to America. OP: Like the previous poster said break everything up in 20-30 mins blocks so you don't get bored with it. Also...

  6. nursing diagnosis for suicide/hallucinations

    APBT mom replied to motherinlaw's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Hmm.. By what you wrote that the patient stated I would use panic because it sounds like the patient is afraid of the eyes. Did the patient OD on anything to cause the hallucinations or stop taking...

  7. codes

    APBT mom replied to rehabhereIcome's topic in General Nursing

    No problem. I also forgot that some facilites have step stools that you can use so you don't have to get on the bed. They give you that extra four or five inches that you need to do the compressions...

  8. Cheating in nursing school?

    APBT mom replied to believer4's topic in General Nursing

    Read what I wrote and noticed that too but since I don't have the upgraded memberships I can't edit posts. If the cheater(s) get a job which could be hard considering most interviews give you case...

  9. codes

    APBT mom replied to rehabhereIcome's topic in General Nursing

    Depends on the situation. I've seen most codes done with the bed up and staff at the bedside but in some cases (I remember one with a very large patient) they threw someone on the bed to do...

  10. school without hesi?

    APBT mom replied to Deasel's topic in General Nursing

    The LPN schools in Tampa Bay, FL don't require HESI but they don't accept any classes from other programs except one school. The only classes that they accept are A&P 1&2 but it's from a...

  11. Opening a group home???

    APBT mom replied to SOS4U's topic in General Nursing

    Do a search on google and see if you can find any information. I know that there is a very large "home" in Texas that does this. The mother is sent there by family or whatever other reason and they...

  12. Cheating in nursing school?

    APBT mom replied to believer4's topic in General Nursing

    Cheating happens in every program not just nursing school. When I was in school one of the day classes (I was nights) caught about 10 people cheating. The reason they were caught was because they were...

  13. Any hope for out-of-county residents getting into PHCC?

    APBT mom replied to pinaygirl76's topic in General Nursing

    You should have no problem being accepted because you live in Hills Co. I know a few people from Hills Co that go to PHCC. I also knew a girl who lived in Sarasota that went there. I don't know if...

  14. newborn staying with readmitted mom

    APBT mom replied to Babytalk's topic in Ob/Gyn

    One of the facilities I worked at allowed it. The rule was that they would bring you a "crib" for the baby and that was it. The nurses weren't allowed to help with the baby because it wasn't their...

  15. Re: Floating

    APBT mom replied to brissygal's topic in General Nursing

    At one facility I worked at they had a dedicated float team (RN, LPN, CNA, PCT, sitter) that would float to where ever was short that night. They were pool so some had another job. Another facility...

    APBT mom replied to Ally0981's topic in General Nursing

    Pros: paid more, flexible schedule (some places), some places will allow you to work "full time" while being pool but you're used to fill in the gaps Cons: no benifits because you're being paid more,...

    APBT mom replied to WhoNeedsaShot?'s topic in General Nursing

    Your school sounds like mine when it came to the pinning ceremony except they told us when we had 6 weeks until graduation. lol. The only thing they told us was that we had to wear our caps, could use...

  19. Pets at work

    APBT mom replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    The dogs that some of the facilities have come around here are bigger dogs (labs, goldens, and pit bulls). Some people don't like large dogs so that may be why he's saying they could be scared of him....

  20. Is IV CERTIFICATION worth anything?

    APBT mom replied to scoobysnax's topic in General Nursing

    It depends on what the facilities in your area require. I know in my area that they require you to have IV certification before you're allowed to touch a patient's IV (except d/c). I would look around...

    APBT mom replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    APBT mom replied to puppyrules's topic in General Nursing

    My advice would be to find someone that's currently in the program and find out what drugs you need to know and what needs to be put on the cards. My program had us buy med cards and gave us a list of...

  24. Hand Sanitizer Damaging to Rings?

    APBT mom replied to April, RN's topic in General Nursing
