RN42011, What school are you going to? They ask the typical interview questions...Why do you want to be a nurse? What are your weaknesses (be honest, but think before answering this). I think they...

Thank You DayToNite. This is exactly how it was written. It bothered me soooo mcuh, I remember it clearly. I was thinking to intubate, but I did not select it because I thought it is not necessary to...
I know...it was one of those silly answers that will bug me for like 3 days. Iknew it was to call for help and that's why it is such an annoyance to me know. Most of the times, the questions will not...
So weird you start this topic now. I am not easily grossed out. But the other day, I had a patient with uncontrollable gangrene all over her body. I went to do my assessment, and the sent gave me a...
Question...I am studying for my OB exam and I am confused now. I know as soon as the baby emerges, you suction the mouth first and then the nose. This prevents the baby from gasping the fluid when...

Yea, it can be very confusing. Because my clinical professor is a 20+yrs NICU nurse veteran. And she tries to teach us based on the NRP guidelines. We definitely understand that there are protocols in...
