  1. Suicide

    Dianacabana replied to OnTheRoad's topic in General Students

    I think it is great that you were able to focus on the task at hand and provide great care for the pt. It is absolutely normal to feel sad! I know my instructors talk about drawing the line with...

  2. Ostomy v Urinary Diversion- the whys and hows

    Dianacabana replied to cminmd's topic in General Students

    What text are you using, Kevin? I'd be interested too in following up on some of the excellent questions brought up by the OP. Its not in either of my texts (Jarvis or Taylor).

  3. Don't "click" too well with classmates

    Dianacabana replied to TootyFruity703's topic in General Students

    What a shame to judge! Isn't this about sharing experiences and understanding another's point of view? I've seen some of your posts before and I know you have good advice! Perhaps you could offer...

  4. Don't "click" too well with classmates

    Dianacabana replied to TootyFruity703's topic in General Students

    Again, I agree here and with the OP's intent--she just feels like a fish out of water. I feel the same way too and it has nothing to do with degree or attitude...it does have to do with friendliness...

  5. Teas Testing

    Dianacabana replied to trisnic's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with Suey--its not as bad as some say. I thought it was more of a pain than anything--my school trying to get more $$ out of me in test fees. The ATI book is fine...I did buy the additional...

  6. I am so scared please help

    Dianacabana replied to Spritenurse1210's topic in General Nursing

    I agree wholeheartedly! You can't worry about what hasn't happened--and may never happen--now. You don't want that worry hanging over your head like a cloud. The NSO program is great. I am a...

  7. Question

    Dianacabana replied to BSNNursingStudent's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Did she mean to use a narrative style to write the assessment, using the data you obtained? Just guessing. Its always helpful when the professor outlines the expectations clearly so there aren't...

  8. i bite my fingers, and yes...i said FINGERS!

    Dianacabana replied to BethT's topic in General Nursing

    I have a similar problem! Its limited mostly to my cuticles. I know its compulsion/nerves but I can't stop either. I am in my first semester of NS and my future clinical instructor kindly reminded...

  9. Please help me, I have tried to figure out this math question all weekend.....

    Dianacabana replied to tiffany311's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    There is a book titled Math for Meds (Anna Curren) that give excellent (logical) step-by-step instructions on these types of problems and so many more. The used (older edition) text is just fine. It...

  10. I feel like a COMPLETE FAILURE!!!!

    Dianacabana replied to sherriberry1's topic in General Students

    I think a medical emergency should give you an automatic do-over. Did you talk to your prof at all after the first quiz to explain the situation? I would let her know how concerned you are--point...

  11. care plan for cystic fibrosis with episode of major hemoptysis

    Dianacabana replied to patsy peppermint's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Patsy, You should try posting in the student assistance forum. If you're lucky Daytonite will help you; sorry but I can't. She's awesome though. Good

  12. chemistry assignement

    Dianacabana replied to kiwi08's topic in General Nursing

    Does Davis' Drug Guide have an online edition that is free? If so you might check that. Good

  13. Please Help! How do you remove sticky adhesive from skin?

    Dianacabana replied to heartlover07's topic in General Nursing

    We use baby oil in our house. Nice smell too. Although I never used it on my baby... It's amazing with all sorts of

  14. HELP! Having trouble in fundamentals and need advice!

    Dianacabana replied to punkindoodl's topic in General Students

    Several students (including myself) have this book and it is very good (we think) for beginning Fundamentals (we're in it too). My Saunders NCLEX book has great questions...but not for this stage of...

  15. Im looking for ABSN Programs in CA, NY, MA, CO, WA?

    Dianacabana replied to JessiePants's topic in General Nursing

    Jessie, In MA you could look at Mass College of Pharmacy (Worcester & other locations), UMass Graduate School of Nursing (Worcester) and also Mass General Hospital Grad School of Health...

  16. subective/objective data

    Dianacabana replied to NightOwl0624's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Hmmm...our text (Jarvis) explains it differently. If its not measured or observed by the nurse, then its subjective. I would ask: How did the information get to the mother? Was it said to the mom...

  17. Carrying all that stuff to clinicals . . .

    Dianacabana replied to intensity_too's topic in General Students

    Have it too! Same one from WalMart. Dorky me...its even my school color. More important--it works for me. I think I have even found an envious classmate or two looking at it longingly...keep...

  18. No She/he Did Not!!!

    Dianacabana replied to Maggie in NC's topic in General Students

    Oh no he didn't...just tell the professor that he hasn't really read any of the work yet and ask is it Ok to just skim the chapters for the exam? SERIOUSLY??? I was amazed how composed my professor...

  19. Oldccart

    Dianacabana replied to JillFRN's topic in General Students

    My prof. taught us 3 more questions that go with this. O for onset: where where you when it started? (i.e. what were you doing?) C: count (pain on 1-10 scale) T: thought (what do you think it could...

  20. Need Help ASAP : Nursing Therapeutic Communication

    Dianacabana replied to jomi's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Physical Examination & Health Assessment by Carolyn Jarvis does an very good job of covering the 10 techniques of interviewing, plus therapeutic communication. I think ch 4 & 5 are best to...

  21. subective/objective data

    Dianacabana replied to NightOwl0624's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Its subjective, and here's why: the pt is the only person who can assess their own pain. You can observe redness, but not pain or soreness. This is a great way to think through some of my answers for...

  22. subective/objective data

    Dianacabana replied to NightOwl0624's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Great question--I am just studying this now too. There's always someone else who needs the answer to that question you just asked, right?

  23. Thank you note?

    Dianacabana replied to miko014's topic in General Nursing

    You never know what will happen regarding their hiring process (wouldn't you love to be a fly on the wall?) Hiring can take a while even if they say "right away". My point was to send it anyway...

  24. Thank you note?

    Dianacabana replied to miko014's topic in General Nursing

    Send the email if you haven't already. Email is fine if you can't use regular mail. Good manners are never overlooked! Thank you notes have gotten my husband more jobs offers and call-backs than I...

  25. Appropriate to go to funeral?

    Dianacabana replied to Eirene's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think this is inappropriate at all. I'd be so pleased if I were part of her family. How kind of you to think to do this.
