Who would be liable if the nurse had pulled up the wrong drug, you administered it, and the patient had a bad outcome? You NEVER administer something you didn't draw up yourself and would never expect someone to do it either. You are BOTH liable.

I am in going into my third semester of LPN school. I have learned everything from basic functions of the body to diseases and the disease process. I have also learned a ton of microbiology which really does help. I took pharm. and learned a lot abou...

If you haven't told him that you do not like to be called kid you need to. Just explain that you feel disrespected and hopefully it stops. If it doesn't stop kindly remind him again. I do mean kindly, you don't want to make any waves in the workplace...

This Fall I am taking Adult Nursing 232 and 233 ( 240 clinical hours) and a math. I think intermediate Algebra. I hate math sooooo bad! :hdvwl: (that's the math book)

There is a dietary section on your careplan. I used Williams' Essentials of Nutrition and Diet Therapy (ninth edition). Inside of this book there are diseases such as ulcerative colitis, cirrhosis and epilepsy for example. Under all of these there is...

I go to school with ladies that are around your age and maybe older. You are not too old. Go for it! If nursing is your dream then don't give it up for anything including age. It is a huge committment and hey, you might have the advantage of having o...

It will help you with your careplans in the future.

i think that all schools are different. i know that at my school i had to take nutrition, sociology, two psych classes, and ethics. some of the lpns that i work with are going back for their asn and they are taking some of the classes that i already ...

I am just starting my psych rotation and I am a little intimidated by the thought of clinicals. Does anybody have any information or past experiences that could help me out?

I am currently working for my LPN and I have say that in my little state of ND they tried to eliminate LPN's entirely. That didn't work and soon there was another nursing shortage. I have heard that they were trying to eliminate LPN's again, but I th...

I do work with patients in a nursing home and a lot of them have mental problems. So for me it isn't that I am working with the mentally ill, but maybe the new setting. I don't know, clinicals in general freak me out! But I am a big girl and I'm sure...

I agree with you. I have known people that were very smart but just didn't have what it takes. Nursing school is tough and if you are not prepared for the worst then you gotta go. I also think that a teacher would have to be stupid to make a comment ...

I have gotten a n Anatomy coloring book and you have to label and fill in the blanks. Also it has the answers and suggests ways to color the pictures that are consistant. it is called Anaotmy coloring book by Kaplan medical it was like $20.00 but wor...

Anyone taking organic bio chem??? (Spring 2009)

I have had to get a proctor for all of my online classes. I have never had an open book test online.

Lucky you! All of the classes I have taken have been very involved. This summer I took Western Civ. and had to do a 500 word report on a subject from the book along with three discussion questions and three responses to others. On the week of the tes...

I took a couple of them last year and this last summer. I had a hard time with the summer class because they are so short, but I also had a hard time with my class on campus too. I think the biggest thing is not to get lazy. I had to set aside days t...

I had someone that was allergic to cherries. I also take care of someone that is violently allergic to any lobster or crabs, but fish is ok. I thought the cherries were weird though, I have never heard of that one before.

I also use Calc. with confidence and it is a great book. I have a lot of problems with math and making it make sense to me. It is really good practice for figuring out dosages.

You should really copy some of nurs2b's notes. I had a hard time, but when you couple it with another form of notes that are worded different than yours it helps make things click for you. It really isn't that hard when you get into it. Last year whe...

I am not sure if it was you or not (Nurz2b), but someone had some great notes for micro. I used some of your notes for A&P last year and they were very helpful. Just wondering.

I can't believe that you would make such a little amount of money starting as an aid. I live in little old ND and we start at 10.00 per hour, but if you try to work anywhere besides a nursing home you will make way less. Hospitals pay less than nursi...

I think that your answer would be B. The reason that I think that is because you always want your residents or patients to maintain any level of independence that they currently have. I think that if they were functioning on the left side then you wo...

I myself wasn't sure about being a CNA. I first started the job because I needed money and when I started I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to do the job. I now have worked in a nursing home for three and a half years and I can tell you that yo...

Thanks for the post. While I believe that grades do matter and I am upset when I get a C in a class; I know that I am trying hard balancing nursing school and a full time job coupled with a husband and two kids. I know that I'll be a great nurse beca...
