  1. Concept Mapping Understanding

    captron74 posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Maybe my brain just isn't wired the same as the powers to be at my school, but I fail to see the merit of wasting time to draw silly little boxes, circles, and any other useless shape when defining a...

  2. Erickson Stage

    captron74 replied to AndreaFaunce's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I tend to agree with the trust vs mistrust myself. I just had a simuliar pt that I put in that stage. Haven't gotten the paperwork back yet, so I don't know if I was on the right track or not. I will...

    captron74 replied to Lericalpoet's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I took any elective that I could apply to my BSN when I was doing my ASN prerequisites. I turn 52 tomorrow and will be starting clinical in ten days. After I graduate I plan on using educational...

  6. Bed & Chair Alarms

    captron74 replied to busy-bee's topic in General Nursing

    As I am just going to start my clinical rotations, I really do not know what is out there as far as types of alarms. I do know what I have seen in use at different LTC facilities, and what they use...

  7. Bed & Chair Alarms

    captron74 replied to busy-bee's topic in General Nursing

    I can see where you are coming from with the diginty side of the issue. An idea that I had would seem to satisify both sides of the issue. What if the alarms were of the silent type, something that...

  8. Bed & Chair Alarms

    captron74 replied to busy-bee's topic in General Nursing

    I find this discussion interesting, because at my wife's LTC facility the powers to be that are not involved in the pt daily care mandated that ALL alarms of ANY type be removed, because they are a...

  9. Calculation

    captron74 replied to redneckrn2b's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Angie, we must have been typing at the very same time, because when I was doing my orginal answer, there were no other posts showing up, so I figured I would put my new found knowlege that was less...

  10. Calculation

    captron74 replied to redneckrn2b's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    My vote goes for NrsAngie's way of doing it, only because that is how we are being taught right now in Dosage Calc class. It is probably all in what you are used to and how you were taught. Whatever...

  11. Calculation

    captron74 replied to redneckrn2b's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I would first convert the order to mg/hr, which would be 60mg/hr That would be your desired amount. You have 1000 mg x 500 mL (Remember 1 cc = 1 mL). Convert the desired amount to mL using the...

  12. Nutrition

    captron74 replied to litlamp's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I am doing Nutrition 104 right now prior to starting clinical in six weeks, and the textbook we are using is excellent. It sounds like it has just what you are asking for. It is: Understanding...

  13. Is age 45 too old to start nursing???

    captron74 replied to Toots71506's topic in General Nursing

    It was good to hear all the positive answers. I started college when I was 48, never went to college prior to that time. I have been on the Dean's list for four semesters now, and am a member of PTK....

  14. what are the guys' reasons to become a nurse?

    captron74 replied to joanaRN's topic in Male Nursing Students

    After spending 29 years in the industrial enviroment, and reaching the end of my ladder, I was burned out. Got divorced, met a wonderful woman who said she always wanted to be a Nurse, so I gave her...

  15. How many of us 30 somethings are out there?

    captron74 replied to karen230's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Forget the 30 somethings, I started my college at 48, I am 51 now and will start clinical in January. At the top of my ladder in my current job, so time for a change into a much more rewarding...
