My mother in law is currently taking it online (distance) through UoV. She likes it, its seems easy as heck and she goes at her own pace (as far as # of courses she takes at a time). It consists of participation online through message boards, group w...

Reason it is given sc abdominally? B/C it is best absorbed there! as far as I know that is the reason. Remeber not to masage that injection site and it stings goin in! OUCHY!

P.S. The flu vaccine is one of the the safest vaccines available! Do some research and see! :)

Well, I am currently doing a paper on myths of immunizations and I can tell you that you should not only get a flu shot for your protection, but if you are going to be working with immunocompromized patients, it is your duty to protect them , and I f...

Hi there. I am a 4th year BSN student and I recall feeling that way here and there. But, I must say, enjoy the extra time you have now to spend with your patients and giving them the conversation and more patient specific care they all love and appre...

How is Kubler Ross inaccurate? I am very curious why you said this. It is certainly not a new book, but the concepts and feeling is pretty true to life as I have witnessed in clinical settings. hmmmm lemme know your rationale. I am very interested!

Agree, read Kubler-Ross, I own this book. It is so great.

Started along time agao! LOL! I am in my 4th year at UCFV. Love it! There IS light at the end of the tunnel!

try EBSCO

One book that MIGHT help is F&E Made Incredibly Easy! GIve it a whirl! Seeing an actual pt with the manifestations helped me remeber once and for all!

Ok, heres the thing. As a nursing student you are considered a mature student. What I mean by this really is, that, if a school does not have a policy re: classes missed, then so what. I agree it is anoying if she/he is asking YOU for your notes as y...

They are trialing LPNs in more medical wards in the lowermainland and fraser valley. Its is working in some places and not others. But theya re highering them mostly for LTC. But I find that the acuity of the pts in LTC is increasing, therefore, it i...

Hey there I am entering my 4the year at UCFV!! We will be doing clinicals at the same hosp I am sure (MSA, RMH, MMH). I only waited for them to review my stuff and I got in on the next intake. There is a waitlist (1-2 years), but i got in... TWU is ...

OK wow thanks for all the replies. Yes the pt is a GI bleed, no varicies. She has running NS c 20 KCL @100 aswell...so, what about the K in the NS? is this ok to be ran (pantoprazole) at the Y site concurrently with the Primary solution? Should the p...

Yes it is only a 40mg vial that is reconstituted

exactly! waste of my lines! well i will ask pharmacy the rationale on my next day...do you run it with say NS c 20 KCL? or just ns? this hosp does wierd stuff!!!!

yeah I read that as well... Well I wonder why the heck it is being ran over 5 hours!

you can wear em with or without socks!. You would wear prolly a size medium...but check out the size chart on the Crocs webpage!

HUGE 2nd on the Crocs! They are the most comfy shoe ever created! (IMO) Sizing is a bit wonky, but they are like walking on pillows! Tryem out atleast! They are inexpensive! Bex

Well I must say, you MUST have had a caring moment or two! You are a nursing student afterall! I feel that just "being there" for my patients and thier families is going the extra mile. I have sat at the bedside adn watched a personal family slide s...

Ethics is very interesting! The principles of bioethics and virtue ethics are especially interestin! It is however a frustrating class as there is often no "right" answer. Have fun!

I seriously cannot believe this was made a thread. As a 4th year BNS student, I love to read the pre-nursing comments and questions! I needed questions answered when I was a Pre-nursing student, and came here for answers and always found the help I n...

Hey Jen! I replied in your other thread a bit. You can PM me and ask me specific questions about UCFV, I am entering my 4th year. Langara is a pretty good school, as far as I know. Community and public health are upper level classes (3rd and 4th yea...
