  1. Question about CAD

    Nurseinprocess posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    If you have a patient that has CAD, how would you determine which of his bad habits/lifestyle choices you should encourage them to change first? I am torn between the smoking and the high fat diet....

  2. How are your clinicals graded?

    Nurseinprocess replied to gabriella86's topic in General Students

    Pass/fail. You must be "checked off" on different competencies to

  3. Don't feel ready!

    Nurseinprocess replied to Lindalou76's topic in General Students

    I don't understand why you think you will be giving this woman a breast exam? That is something doctors do. There is no way that you will actually be doing all the skills they teach you on one...

  4. Discussing Grades with Other Students

    Nurseinprocess replied to anewday's topic in General Students

    Sometimes it's just nice to know you didn't get the only F

  5. Pt Interactive Anxiety

    Nurseinprocess replied to 12breakfree's topic in General Students

    I have found more patients that loved talking about themselves/their disease than not. Just be friendly, and act interested in what's going on with them. You can ask how the slept, if they have any...

  6. frustrated

    Nurseinprocess replied to hope4mi's topic in General Students

    I say go for it. Just because your advisor wants to recommend you, it doesn't mean you will actually get the scholarship. If you do get it, then make the final decision. Don't let any man hold you...

  7. everyone is afraid

    Nurseinprocess replied to gonzo1's topic in General Nursing

    I still can't believe you did that :omy:, was she threatening you? She must have been a scary old lady :chair:. I'm glad she didn't assault

  8. do you ever felt like nursing is not for you?

    Nurseinprocess replied to 2008el's topic in General Nursing

    Why not sit in the patient's room to do some of your paperwork? Do you have flowcharts to fill in? I've seen nurses have a seat, grab the flowchart and spend time with their patients that

  9. Nurses Smoking

    Nurseinprocess replied to JENNLEE's topic in General Nursing

    I'm trying to picture you standing there spritzing yourself with Febreeze after having a cigarette

  10. I think I am being targeted in nursing school.

    Nurseinprocess replied to mzattitude's topic in General Students

    Your instructors are trying to push you to do better. If you can't rise to the occasion and prove to them that you are competent, you won't succeed. Is there something about yourself you think the...

  11. First test!! FAILED!!

    Nurseinprocess replied to Slimlady727's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I wouldn't stress out too much, unless you only have one more test to make up the failing grade. I failed my first Health Assessment II exam (well I failed it until the instructor gave us some points...

  12. Help and Advice!!! Question with Med Pass

    Nurseinprocess replied to Amysuenu's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    My first clinical instructor had us sign off the meds on the MAR before entering the room and actually administering them also. I don't understand why you hadn't checked your patient's pulse right...

  13. Should boyfriend help me out?

    Nurseinprocess replied to QUEBEBRAN's topic in General Students

    Men don't change after you marry them. Expect him to be a selfish, controlling tightwad

  14. :) I got my start date for MCC...

    Nurseinprocess replied to Hootnhollern's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I don't know about the uniform sizing. I have an xs top and size s bottoms and I normally wear a size 10 bottom and large women's top. I would feel more comfortable in a size s top, but I'm working...

  15. Did RNs Have To Practice Bathing Each Other In NS

    Nurseinprocess replied to me-too's topic in General Students

    Oh no, he wasn't uncooperative at all, it was just awkward handling him, wringing the cloth, keeping him covered so he didn't catch a chill, etc.. It's just weird bathing another adult. Nothing like...

  16. Did RNs Have To Practice Bathing Each Other In NS

    Nurseinprocess replied to me-too's topic in General Students

    We didn't practice bathing each other or mannequins at all. I have to say it isn't easy doing it on a live pt when you don't know what the heck you are doing . I have only initiated one bed bath so...

  17. Moving and handling patients

    Nurseinprocess replied to Chixie's topic in International Nursing

    So how are you supposed to do it? Did you mention to the nurse that you were taught a different way? We are taught to use a gait

  18. Moving and handling patients

    Nurseinprocess replied to Chixie's topic in International Nursing

    Well if you don't help lift the patient into the chair, how is he going to get there? I don't understand why you think it's not your job to do that? It would have been nice if you helped the nurse...

  19. Should I be expelled?

    Nurseinprocess replied to casurfer's topic in General Students

    I think the person who should be disciplined is the instructor that let you take notes while reviewing your previous exams. Why would she let you do that? If she allowed it, then you should be in...

  20. Taking Blood Pressure - I feel stupid

    Nurseinprocess replied to Nuieve's topic in General Students

    I am surprised that you don't have a bp machine. I had my first experience taking vitals on real hospital patients yesterday and I realized as I wheeled the bp machine into a room with me that I had...

  21. Underwear and white scrubs?

    Nurseinprocess replied to LaLaEm4's topic in General Students

    Nude or flesh colored bra and underwear. I guess you could wear a nude colored thong, if that's your thing

  22. I seem to know less the most

    Nurseinprocess replied to Javeed's topic in General Students

    The first thing you need to do is look into the schools in your area that you would be able to attend. Find out the application process, the pre-reqs you need to have done, and which program would be...

  23. So overwhelmed! I can't do this

    Nurseinprocess replied to Bluestem's topic in First Year After Licensure
