Nahh...you guys are all wrong.... I'm doing a cultural paper as we speak. Here's the scoop: In Hispanic (Latino) culture, it is believed that a spell is cast on a child when a person with the evil eye (mal de ojo) admires the child without touching ...

On my first clinical I knew nothing - nada - zippo, but I'm learning. The absolute best thing to have with you in the clinical setting are the names of anyone else in your group who is already working in health care. Try to buddy up with him/her if...

Hey Molly, I guess you've seen enough of Mrs. W's questions to know 'em when you see 'em. Thanks for your input. I love reading into how others formulate their responses. Often, when I use the on-line resources for my text, I'll go through the sam...

Hello gang, I was hoping to get some thoughts on the following question that appeared on my nursing exam last week: Which action is most important when teaching your client about the intake of bran to facilitate defication? a. wrong answer b. wrong a...

Hey Michele, I'm not the least bit offended by your reply. I'm sorry if I may have sounded that way. I really do love a good debate and welcome your comments. I'm still trying to figure out the rationale for 8 glasses of fluids. On another point, ...

Hi Michele, Let me play devils advocate here: Let's say that instead of fluid intake, answer d. was: d. instruct the client to ambulate the length of the hall three times per day to promote bowel activity. Would you still pick answer d.? If you re...

dosamigos, that was the other rationale I used. thanks....

Okay... Okay...!!! It's d.!! Yes Sara, the question is being challenge, and with the instructors clarifying comment, I'd guess rightfully so. Especially since points in Nursing school are like gold. I know if it weren't for the instructor's 'cla...

I have an idea - can you change papers with the person who sits next to you? What about that nice lady who sits behind you everyday? Seriously though... uummm... what's a "change paper"?

Hello everyone, Yes, the answer is d. Thanks so much for your replies and rationales. Now here's the story: My instructor for the nutrition section of my Level One program dug herself into a bit of a pit. When she was lecturing on this topic, she...

Good responses, but let me ask: Answer d. says "fluids" not "water". Fluids include things like Pepsi, tomato juice, milk, beer, etc. I dunno, am I grabbing at straws?

I thought you might enjoy some Sunday funnies. These were sent to me by a colleague. ~~~A little boy was overheard praying, "Lord, if you can't make me a better boy, don't worry about it. I'm having a real good time like I am." ~~~3 year old Rees...

My favs: i) You remind me a lot of someone I'm trying to forget. ii) If I wanted to hear from an a$$hole, I'd fart. Have a nice day....

Hi Glopop, Pretty much everything I do in a day is school related. Either driving, studying, stressing when I can't study, heck, I even dream about nursing school most nights - and I am not kidding! I am taking 14 1/4 credit hours. If I only spen...

Hi Teacher Sue, I'm a first semester student in his third week and I have no idea what the right answer is. I sure hope you can post more of these. I love this! What a cool way to learn.

Hello everyone! I'm a Level One (first semester) nursing student. I was wondering if anyone has taken an NCLEX review course prior to attending nursing school. Since all of the nursing tests are based on the NCLEX, would this help prepare for nursi...

Okay, so no review course. Clearly the information would be waaaaaaaaaaay over my head. . rpbear: I sent an email to your new email address. Let me know if you don't recieve it. Thanks for your advice everyone! On a side note: Nursing school ...
