425april ASN, RN

I have a patient that has been diagnosed with a molar pregnancy,and this client has the appearance of a third trimester pregnancy. Is it typical for someone to go this long without intervention?

No problem. I am always glad to help in any way I can. There is so much out there in literature for us student nurses. Good luck.

Yes, indeed. This is a very sad case. I work on Behavioral Health in the local hospital, and I love my clients. This client is Schizoaffective and is not fully aware of what is going on . I am going to attempt to observe during her surgery, and be pr...

I agree with "medicalnerd". I, too have really enjoyed the "Nursing Made Incredibly Easy" and the "Nursing 2008". They have some great articles that help you understand what you hear in lectures. Good investment to make.

I know how you feel, Kindhearted-08. I took the HESI and purchased a book called Med Surg Success. Also, the "Nursing Made Incredibly Easy" books are very helpful. Study up on your med surg and dosage calculations. Also , brush up on your assessme...

All of these are such good points. I would be dedicated as a nurse to the people we help, but, with a family at home, it would be very difficult to decide which place to serve first. It will take all of our combined talents and skills to combat a ...

hmmm. After that description I would have to say "no". I agree that I cannot do much to help without PPE. My clients come first, however, I have a family that needs me also. That would be futile, given that info on percentages.

All the time. I work a 12 night shift and always take the opportunity to sing the praises of "allnurses.com". I find out that many of my co-workers enjoy it also.

Thanks,Daytonite. That is just what i needed to hear.

I really am just unsure about my priority diagnosis, and which ones to use because there is so much. It is a little overwhelming, this being my first trauma case. I can just use what advice I have gotten so far. I am just so excited to have people...

Thanks for all that information. Sounds as if you are a wonderful source for information. My client had all the issues you mentioned , such as bowel and bladder, turning, and bathing taken care of by the dedicated nurses on staff. His dad comes in an...

Hello again. Sorry for the misuse of capital letters. :zzzzz No offense intended. I am just new to this and I am learning as I go. In reference to responses to my thread, my client was in t-boned with an automobile on an atv and presented to the...

i am not sure what a concept map is. is this like a care plan? what are your goals? what interventions do you have so far? we'll put our heads together and come up with some more. don't forget about your therapeutic interventions,such as teaching and...

hey snowkie, i know where you are right now. i am a third sememster nursing student and i remember those days. first, always remember your nursing diagnosis has to be in a priority order. you know, airway first, breathing second , and circulation t...

I am a nursing student, 3rd semester. this was a clinical rotation. I had trouble putting all the lab info, and ABG results together. THere was just so much, it is hard to think through. Thanks for the great sheets on critical thinking. That will...
