  1. Signs of Hypoxia?

    Check emedicine or web MD they usually explain the patho side of it. You can try wiki too but sometimes the info isn't reliable as anyone can put info onto that
  2. kaplan or mosbys drug cards

    I've never used them but one of the students in my class bought the Mosby ones and hated them. She returned them for the ones made by Davis which she said were much
  3. NCLEX book?

    I don't know authors. If you can go back get the title then maybe someone could help you
  4. NCLEX book?

    Saunders and Mosbys break them up into systems. Mosbys seems to be an easier read though but if you can afford it get both they're good books to study
  5. Question for Daytonite

    I'm not Daytonite but I have a book called Medical Surgical Nursing by Mosby's. It has a green cover. I got it at Borders and the book helped me a lot. It has things in that we needed to know for...
  6. Why so many fail out of our program?

    I'd look at the state your schools in because there you'll know no ones fudging the percentage and it's up to
  7. Being screwed by LAUSD...HELP!!

    That sucks. I wonder why it took a month for the to realize this. I don't think I would be so understanding. I think your best bet (although I wouldn't be too trusting) would be to call the school...
  8. Why so many fail out of our program?

    That's what I was going to say. If you can't find the pass rate on your schools website then go to the BON for your state and search. Here they break then up by what program you're
  9. Do you have a care plan book? They'll usually have all the info that you need and you can tweak them a little for a infant or pp
  10. Neutropenic Precautions

    One of the facilities that I've been to put these patients on reverse isolation. So you still have to wear a gown, gloves, and mask but it's because you can get them sick. Everything mentiones above...

    Around here code pink is a missing
  12. Is it possible to transfer Nursing Schools?

  13. List Of Lpn Schools In Tampa Area

    I'm in Erwin and what they told me is that the lottery is more of a formality if they get a large number of applicants. It hasn't happened as of yet. There was 270 applicants the year I applied and we...
  14. What is a code gray?

    Code gray is security at the facilities around here. It gets called when anyone's being aggresive towards any of the employees including family members of the patients. I agree with everyone else you...
  15. Tags??What are they?

    The only way I can explain this is you know when you drive down the interstate and you see a car that has a red tag hanging from the antennae, it's there to let the tow truck co that has that stretch...
  16. postpartum nursing dx

    There's probably better ones because risk for's aren't a priority. You didn't really give any other info other than she had a baby. If you listed some more things about the delivery you could get more...
  17. drug testing in school

    Also keep in mind that even though your school may require one drug test at the beginning if you get hurt while in the lab or at clinicals they work it up like a workmans comp claim so they will...
  18. Excelsior FL nursing grad endorsement dillema

    I know that you're constantly learning but three days (36 hrs) compared to the almost 1000 hrs that a student that goes to a traditional program that requires clinicals is a big difference. A exam is...
  19. postpartum nursing dx

    r/t would be the possibility of
  20. nasogastric tubes

    The same tubing could be used for both in concept but you wouldn't use it that way. The tube is either going to be used to put something in or take something out. Curious as to why you would ask this...
  21. concept mapping book by Schuster

    I have the Gulinick care plan book and it has everything that I need in it. The only down side is there is no clear OB/peds section so I had to look at the interventions that would relate (do this...
  22. First semester in PNE school

    Have you considered working as a school nurse when you graduate? You'll still get to work with kids and the schedule would reflect your future children's schedule so you could spend time with them. I...
  23. Excelsior FL nursing grad endorsement dillema

    The thing is that states are starting to stop accepting graduates from Excelsior whether or not they passed the NCLEX. In California you can't get a license just because you went their. They...
  24. drug testing in school

    I had to do one on the second day of school. They gave me a cup and told me I had five mins to come out with it above the line. I didn't even have the door locked and the lady was screaming my name...
  25. Medical Assisting questions

    I went to school for MA and worked in MD offices for almost 5 yrs and the most I got paid was $10 hr. Let me know where she's getting paid $25 and I'll drop out right now and move to there. If the...
