i was also going to recommend the cherokee top that is 28.5 inches. One of my fave scrub tops!

I am so confused by it too. As a first year nursing student who is overwhelmed by info overload, I find it very frustrating that all of our clinical paperwork must be filled out according to the Roy Model yet NO ONE has explained it very well. In fac...

Hi I am hoping for a bit of guidance. I have to do a care plan and can't come up with anything so far. My pt was 84 and in for smoke inhalation. She was fine by the time my clinical day arrived. Her vitals were within range, and she had no IVs or ox...

Daytonite: Thanks so much for your explanation and guidance! I don't think I have enough objective (or subjective either) data from my assessment to support the care plan for Ineffective gas exchange. (at least not the way I think my instructor will ...

but i don't see any NANDA diagnosis that would pertain to this situation....

nevermind , i see there is a section of them under safety. i will post again with anything i come with to see if i am going in the right direction...

Thanks She had a fire in her kitchen. I did not see a NANDA listing for that type of thing : safety, evaluation of her living situation etc.

Hi I am a first year student. We have clinical once per week and have just started interacting with patients. Today we gave or helped with bed baths. The problem I see so far is that the nurses are definitely not friendly...in fact none of them se...

IN chicago Thanks though :)

bump :) anyone on allnurses taking RN to BSN coursework in ILLINOIS? I would love some info from those with firsthand experience. Do any hospitals pay for ADN TO BSN completion? Thanks

Thanks Daytonite! The problem is , I don't have any answers. I was only with her for about 5 hours this am. She had just finished the blood transfusion and SAID she felt better - they drew blood to check her levels but I don't have the results. ...

hi daytonite, I had a pt today who had gbp surgery 7 years ago. she was hospitalized b/c her primary care physician requested she get blood. her h&h levels were low. do you think I could use #2 or #3 from you list above ? I am having tr...

I don't know how to do a care plan for someone who seemed to be in pretty bad shape. 80 yr old female who had been in CCU for 2 weeks (came in coherent and had been gardening and mobile days earlier) she was transferred to med/surg and the family wa...

THanks ..funny how my instructor did not mention any of these..perhaps too advanced for first semester...probably not?

And the "competition" will never end -just don't play into it....Think about it....don't *some* people always want the "best car" or have the "most gifted child" etc....It happens in every facet of life. Just b/c someone aces a test does not mean ...

How wonderful! I hope I feel the same way when I am a new RN, no matter what dept I work in. I think it is great that you are surrounded by people who want to share information/educate!

as someone who recently had a baby and is also a nursing student i say . ewww it is too bad you have to documuent all this crap ...ewww mom having baby ...let her be ...nursing dx...not trying to be smart

OMG I am glad you can document and understand that you were treated poorly, not by the book etc. As a nurse , you have so much knowledge regarding your treatment. As a new student, I already know that my text book sounds great but real world healthca...

I am sure it varies by program :) This first semester we only have clinicals 1x per week, in addition to our skills sessions on campus.

okay so therein lies the problem? i am just really confused . i am the person you just described but we are all so green . start clinicals from the beginning. this is our 3rd week in school and in clinical. maybe our school is doing it all wrong. t...

oh my ...stop what your are doing.... where are you? i have some experience with this. as a caucasian girl .... I had to go to college and be "smart" b/c i was first born and that is "just what we did" i bet i can kind of empathize. not trying to ...

Clinical site RNs don't want us around.... permalink ETA: It is not just one nurse ..it is all of them. Granted, this is a 5 nurse floor and there are 9 students. we have been doubled up so far ..... ...

thanks for your replies. It almost seems as if the system is broken and I was not sure if it was just my school, this hospital or what? I really like and even admire my instructor. I feel bad for her ..she seems very qualified and so far is GREAT . ...
