Can anyone help me? I need a Friedman Family Assessment Model template. I have an assessment guide which is the "short form" version of what I need. Your help is greatly appreciated! Thank you!

I don't think I've ever felt this low. I thought I had it... This has been a very long year and I feel beaten up...maybe just plain beaten. I was willing to consider the problem was with me but after three semesters of watching honor students slowly ...

So sad... Trying to understand...the stringent requirments...you have to be strong just to get in...I was a 3.9er...A good friend of mine was a 4.0 and was dropped the second semester. I worked with students and thought "I hope oneday I'm as good as ...

Thanks for the hugs...This is a small private college... I guess this is typical of nursing programs...Exams count for 80% - 85% of the final class grade. Your exam average must be at a specific level in order to qualify for the remaining 15% - 20% t...

Needed a 95 on the final ... made an 85 10 points ... missed the average by 2.9 points Now what?

Holding my breath...what's done is done. I am looking at "Plan B" ... Hope I can shred it by days end!

I had several experiences... Midwifery Clinic - awesome experience. I was involved in assessment, physical exam, BPP, lab work, etc. I saw about 15 patients in an 8 hour day. I attribute the positive experience the the midwife who kept me by her side...

Bad week... Thought I had overcome all the adversity from last semester...all the trouble I've been having with one particular professor for whom I can do nothing right has seemed to disapate. Last semester I was in danger of failing this professor's...

I just had a post conference from hell...my instructor afterwards called me into the office and asked me "WHY did you decide to become a nurse?" She then proceeded to have me read aloud the Nurse's Code of Ethics and then told me that I had no compas...

I agree...I feel better today but I am still worried about getting bounced

I went to the dean and was told "don't worry about it...you'll be fine" ... It's the same response I get each time something like this happens. At first I thought these events were just drama but now I believe there is more focus. After watching stu...

Calling all NICU nurses and students considering NICU...Please chime in! OK...got the call from the regional medical center. I was a little overzealous with my extern application but that's OK because I am the first one in! I've been working in criti...

Do they let you use your assessment skills? I was told that externs function basically as a tech or nurses aid. My thought was if I am going to work as a tech then I can at least do this in an area where I can see something new....and besides...Littl...

I think it's great that you are able to express yourself this way and be honest. OK...you hate nursing. No one thinks you're a bad person, at least I don't. It sounds to me like you're just in the wrong place and thats OK. What's important is you ar...

how does one determine if they "want to be a nicu nurse"? i am one of 2 males in a class of 40. just about every student i have encountered, most being female, stated at the beginning of the program that they "want to work in l&d" or "i want to ...

This is a good point here. I'll follow up... As a FF part of the job IS physical fitness. My third year as an EMT I weighed 200lbs at 5'10". I had a 34" waist and could stair chair a 350lbs+ patient with my partner however many flights of stairs requ...

Dude! Awesome work! I stopped lifting over a decade ago...I don't think I was ever able to put up that much. I'm almost over the hill now... at 5'10" I'm 180lbs and working on losing 2 more inches around my waist never mind squats! I started cycl...

Good! My personal opinion and current favorite career option is CRNA. Median salary in my area is $160k base. I say if you're in it for the money this is the way to go. Also...as a Legal Nurse Consultant or RN - Attorney I don't think you'll be hel...

Ten times?? How much do the masters prepared nurses you know make? My significant other just happens to hold a JD and has been practicing law for about 10 years. She earns a great living but no where near 10x a nurse. None of our friends make 10x tha...

I am unaware of any programs that offer advanced placement. I believe Florida will allow an RN with a a current EMT and ACLS to seek licensure -- From the DOH --> "A Florida licensed physician, dentist, or registered nurse may apply for certific...

Our program did rotation through the OR and clinical with Respiratory Therapy as well. I have heard of programs doing a rotation through NICU but I have yet to run into someone who has intubated a neonate in rotation.

My school switched to ATI and I started taking the practice assessments. What was your experience with ATI? I find myself reading these questions and thinking "What?" These tests were just sprung on us so no time to prepare. Fluid and lytes was in ...

i think with your level of education, skill and experience a bridge is the perfect option, however i think you have much to learn in regard to pre-hospital operations...phtls - pre-hospital trauma and life support is a big factor in the street. my th...

I think this is a great thread...I have run into the same thing, time and time again. I would have done the same as you. I'm quick to hand off a female patient to a female nurse...it just makes sense. If my patient is uncomfortable then I am uncom...

Ugh... So low scored in the begining are to be expected? I scored a 74 on my first practice...but it gets worse from there with the individual assessments. I've take 8 so far.
