  3. DePaul's MENP questions

    TheSquire replied to bcxllady's topic in Illinois Nursing

    301's changed a bit since I took it, but you will need at least the first two books for that class (though you'll use the Nursing Dx Handbook more in later quarters). For 332, you'll use Mosby's Guide...

  4. Best method for figuring dosage calculations!!!!

    TheSquire replied to survrgrl08's topic in General Students

    Dust off your general chemistry textbook and do dimensional analysis. You'll be able to convert anything to anything else and you won't have to remember any cutesy formulas or

  5. Now tetanus booster...

    TheSquire replied to CrunchyMama's topic in General Students

    Are you sure? My understanding of the current standards is that the Tetorifice and Diphtheria boosters are given in a combined vaccine for older adolescents and adults, with that population also...

  6. for new nursing students

    TheSquire replied to tokidokifantasy's topic in General Students

    Well, you could've gone and gotten your immunity the old-fashioned way like I did...

  7. Now tetanus booster...

    TheSquire replied to CrunchyMama's topic in General Students

    You're worried more about the minute amount of toxins in a vaccine used to prime the immune system than large amounts which will overwhelm it? Methinks your perception of risk is a bit skewed. Go...

  8. for new nursing students

    TheSquire replied to tokidokifantasy's topic in General Students

    The TB tests at public health centers may not satisfy the testing needs for your school - most school and workplace requirements I'm familiar with call for a two-step PPD, while public health depts...

  9. help with restating my nursing dx... its too long

    TheSquire replied to bjb12's topic in General Students

    My thought is to drop the last 'r/t' statement - if you have a section to explain pathophys, put that info there

  10. End of Summer Report

    TheSquire replied to campmonkey's topic in Camp

    A list of consumable supplies (band aids, alchohol wipes, Pepto Bismol) that need to be bought for next season or, if not currently stocked, added to inventory. A list of forms (with supplied copies...

  11. Now tetanus booster...

    TheSquire replied to CrunchyMama's topic in General Students

    Short answer: 'cos lockjaw's a b*tch. Long answer: Tetorifice isn't transmissible, but a puncture wound (from any object capable of producing a puncture wound) can introduce tetorifice into an...

  12. Assessing Each Other??!??

    TheSquire replied to FutureMaleOhioNurse's topic in General Students

    Speaking as a guy, I had both same and opposite-gender classmates for opposite-gender partners. I think having both was a valuable experience, as I can guarantee you that not every single one of your...

  13. Dating classmates?

    TheSquire replied to AragornSkywalker's topic in Male Nursing Students

    The problem I see with that plan is that women are, unfortunately, rare in the "hard" sciences and uncommon in the natural sciences. The reason that this thread exists is the apparently favorable...

  14. Do you take issue with the food served at camp?

    TheSquire replied to blondy2061h's topic in Camp

    I'm currently at a BSA summer camp and this is more or less my experience as well (though food isn't left out between meals, since our section camps don't utilize cafeteria-style dining). The food is...

  15. A Day In Your Health Center

    TheSquire replied to campmonkey's topic in Camp

    My camp has decentralized med passing - medications for scouts stay with the unit leaders, just as they would on any other campout. Medications for junior staff stay with the director of their...

  16. DePaul University - Info

    TheSquire replied to Student4Life82's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Hi Tiffany, I am in the cohort which graduates this November. The first and fifth quarters are intense, the rest less so. The curriculum is set up with clinical every non-summer quarter, RN-specific...

  20. Hi All! (question about working in NS)

    TheSquire replied to RNstdntSVSU's topic in General Students

    If you're going to buy a Littmann (which I personally suggest, as there's definitely an increase in sound quality when you go from two tubes to the Y-junction) get it from someplace like allheart.com...

  21. Camp Nursing (It's a mess)

    TheSquire replied to alsmedic's topic in Camp

    I'm a health officer at a BSA camp with a well-established health and safety program, so I'm not in your same boat. However, from reading around this forum and elsewhere, my first suggestion is to...

  22. Nursing Student Position at Camp

    TheSquire replied to PhilaBSNstudent's topic in Camp

    It's probably a bit late for the OP, but my suggestion is to get your First Responder or EMT-B license and work as a health officer - those'll give you some legal standing, while just being a student...

  23. Rules in the Health Center and Around Camp

    TheSquire replied to campmonkey's topic in Camp

    The problem with coming alone or with only one friend is that it does horrible things to the buddy system, which (at least at Boy Scout camps) is one of the policies camps have to reduce the incidence...

    TheSquire replied to tigers9281's topic in General Students
