I worked as a Resp therapist and know the value of a good good scope. I do not like Sprague at all. Like a previous poster said it is the double barrell thing good luck!!!!!

Not sure where you are located but our BSN program requires as prereq's English, Statistics, A&P I and II , Microbiology, Speech, Nutrition for nurses, basic Psychology and Developmental all this needs to be done in most cases befor you can even ...

I would say anytime sympathetic kicks in then the para kicks in to counter act this. The body has to calm down can't stay in this state what would that do to the heart,resp system etc. So I feel there would be things in both columns

Hey a question about a med. I am talking to a friend on the phone that is working as an aide waiting to get her papers to test. Last night the LPN she was working with brought a liquid medication in the room, and told her to smell it, it smelled terr...

My daughter suffers from migraines she had 30-60 a month. She goes to Diamond Headache clinic in Chicago it took 5 years and many many many combinations of drugs to get the headaches under control. Best advice find a doctor who Number one believes in...

I worked hospice as an aide for a long time and I saw many many clients screamining in pain. It is the most horrifing thing I have ever witnessed. Doctor refuses more pain medication becasue it could kill patient. NO ONE DESERVES TO SUFFER THAT WAY....

I think what someone said earlier about maybe no medical benefit but if the mother/father feels this helps with the bonding of the child let it be. I worked at a protrait studio in a large chain store (begins with a W guess which one?) and I had peop...

You were able to take you NCLEX test, how did you list this for that? They are really tough in most states on this and if you were able to do this then maybe it is not on your record anymore. Go to you local police station and get this run you might ...

We talked about this in one of my classes. We had two students who were very much against abortions and said they would refuse to care for someone with complications from this. Our director contacted the board of nursing and they said refusing to car...

I worked as a hospice care aide for 4 years and it changed my thinking on dying. I saw patients who were in so much pain that they SCREAMED and begged to die, because the doctor would not up the morphine because it could cause them to go into Respira...

Good luck, and come here anytime and vent! My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family!!

I also used the flash cards, took them with me everywhere. I used one of those index card spiral notebook things and put them all into the different classifications. Repetion seemed to be the only way for me to learn these

Yeah I mentioned mucomyst I was a Rt and that is what came to mind but this was an elderly lady, no OD or respiratory problems so we eliminated that one. She said that just wasn't the name she thought. Thanks for the link

My CC until this year had the "recognition ceremony" in a church, our school had no place big enough to have it until this year (we added a new building) and our class was the first to use the auditorium. We wore white outfits (pants, skirts whateve...

The testing centers won't even talk to you until you have your ATT, they test every weekday but only have so many slots available. Many other types of test are taken there besides NCLEX, insurance, real estate etc so only so at times you may have to ...

I skim read the chapter before the lecture and then go back over the material AFTER I have heard the lecture on that section. I feel this serves 2 purposes, makes you familiar (at least a little) with the material before the lecture and cuts down on...

Brandy It may not look full time on paper but it is with study time, my school says 2 hours per credit hour for non-nursing classes our instructors told us 3-4 hours per credit hours and then 4-6 per clinical day once you start careplans. Some studen...

I don't mean never read it I mean that once they have went over it, the material they covered is easier and you are not so stuck on understanding that and it leaves you room in your head to comprend the stuff they didn't go over ! Did that make sens...

I never totally read the material in advance just skimmed it and looked over the boxes charts etc, then as they lectured and I took notes I went back over what they covered after the lecture... I just graduated on December 17th with B's so it worked ...

I used one large binder for all my classes, that way I had all my material with me and if I had extra time I could study. Sometimes the material from one class overlaps with another and having another piece of material helps me if I am not quite gett...

At my school they will round up the grade in the class but NOT THE TEST GRADES so that makes it more complicated. You must have a 78 to even pass your test and even if you turn everything else in and have straight A's in written assignments you FAIL....

My pinning and recognition ceremony was on December 17th at 6 pm. We used the brand new school auditorium (first group to use it) and it was very nice. We had 3 speakers and we were pinned by one of the instructors (Med/surg that we had this last (3...

wow!!! i am a nurse!!! had my recognition ceremony on friday night, it was very nice the teacher we have had for med/surg and one that taught me so much was who pinned us. we were handed lamps from our teacher who taught us fundamentals and then ende...

I will be joining you there!!!! Congrats to you

Veronica So sorry about all this for you, I would not handle this as well as you did. Good luck in the future and if all students and/or nurses had your attitiude our patients would get the best care in the world
