    litlamp replied to litlamp's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  5. Nutrition

    litlamp replied to litlamp's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    --any recommendation would be helpful. Since diet and nutrition are so important to health I would really like to get a separate reference specific to nutrition. We were not provided with one,...

    litlamp posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  8. Davis's - Therapeutic/Pharmacologic

    litlamp replied to litlamp's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  11. Family looking through patient chart?(Sorry, kind of long...)

    litlamp replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    I'm only a student, but we've been told to never chart for care or anything else ahead of time. If anything would happen, it would be exactly what a lawyer would look for. As to the nurse/relative...
