    kgh31386 replied to jtanga's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  4. Is having a ADN useless these days?

    kgh31386 replied to Back2Nursing09's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    It really does depend. The entire St. Francis network of hospitals in Memphis requires a BSN now, no more ADN new grads at all. The Methodist system is 99% new grad BSN, and if you do have an...

  5. Which answer would you pick?

    kgh31386 replied to EDRN-2010's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I sure picked sunscreen because I thought sulfa drugs had photosensitivity issues...but I guess I can see why the crystal formation would be a "more" serious side effect. I mean go ahead and burn your...

  10. SICKLE CELL CRISIS: Oxygen or Fluids??

    kgh31386 replied to SiempreBella's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    My Lewis book also says that the "most common cause" of a sickling crisis is hypoxia. It says that with giving oxygen, it reverses the sickling. I'm still not sure who's more correct. I'll ask the...

  11. anyone ever determine whether to give morphine or demerol to pancreatitis?

    kgh31386 replied to kgh31386's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  14. anyone ever determine whether to give morphine or demerol to pancreatitis?

    kgh31386 replied to kgh31386's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    That's what I always thought. Until I pulled out the old ATI book from school to see what it says..and ATI says morphine is contraindicated. It also says that hypoxia causes a sickle cell crisis, and...

  15. SICKLE CELL CRISIS: Oxygen or Fluids??

    kgh31386 replied to SiempreBella's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    But like everyone said before...if the RBC can't carry oxygen, the oxygen won't help. Also fluids will help the actual problem...I just

    kgh31386 replied to jenn8500's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    My school is the same way. I graduated May 8th, and my school just now emailed me saying they mailed all of our stuff off to the state. So TN got my application and all that paperwork, money order,...

  17. SICKLE CELL CRISIS: Oxygen or Fluids??

    kgh31386 replied to SiempreBella's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  19. ati comprehensive predictor form a&b

    kgh31386 replied to dc2mendoza's topic in General Students

    I'm thinking you can get in a good amount of trouble begging for copies of ATI exams or extra material for an exam that your school requires you to pass...plenty of teachers are all over this forum....

  20. INR/PT What am I missing here?

    kgh31386 replied to StudentNurse2011's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I believe the nomal PT is somewhere around 12 seconds...but on Coumadin you want the value to be 2-3 times higher. So 28.84 would be in the therapeutic

  24. How important is GPA while in Nursing school?

    kgh31386 replied to AcousticFoodie's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I agree with "llg", those who don't make good grades try to justify it with that whole "C=RN" stuff. And who says that a B outside of nursing school is a C in nursing school? Some people have done...
