  1. Employer told everyone results of my TB test!

    nessajune21 replied to DA314's topic in General Nursing

    Although you may feel embarrassed right now, take this as an opportunity to teach ignorant people about TB testing. The positive test only signifies an antibody. It doesn't signify active TB (which...

  2. Pretending to palpate pulses

    nessajune21 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I know that nurses are often time crunched and some pulses are often hard to palpate, but... I had a patient in clinicals who had just had iliac stent placement for PVD, so palpating pulses distal to...

  3. Pretending to palpate pulses

    nessajune21 replied to nessajune21's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not asking a question. I KNOW where the pulse is. I am just shocked that a nurse would not- but would pretend to. I think it is horrifying that someone would disregard such a vital component of...

  4. Ideas for health care/nursing dual major?

    nessajune21 replied to tlynpink's topic in General Nursing

    The paramedic program at most universities only require EMT certification ( rather than a years experience) and a handful of prereqs that you probably already completed for nursing school anyway. I...

    nessajune21 replied to Swiss9500's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    If you graduated in 1995- I'd buy some updated books to study. A lot has likely changed in 13 years! I wish you luck in taking your NCLEX and getting back into

    nessajune21 replied to Ms.RN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Due to estrogen deprivation from advanced aging, elderly women experience lady partsl atrophy. The lady partsl epithelium becomes so thin and fragile that spontaneous bleeding occurs. This is a very...

  9. Med/Surg vs. Specialties for new nurses

    nessajune21 replied to EvaLuna's topic in General Nursing

    I think it would be just as difficult to transition from either to the other. They are entirely different specialties with entirely different skill sets and transferring would be difficult both

    nessajune21 replied to Yeshi's topic in General Nursing

    Are you talking about hospital diploma programs? If so, try googling for VA nursing diploma

  14. Nenate Ambu Bag

    nessajune21 replied to Yayamaya's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I sense you've never used an ambu bag? The O2 doesn't inflate the bag- it is merely supplemental. Here is a link that might help you in understanding how it works. However, I have to agree that the...

    nessajune21 replied to gentlegiver's topic in General Nursing

    Congratulations!!! I am a 20 something going to school with classes filled with 40 somethings, so I too feel a little out of place. Good for you and good luck in your

  16. new materrnal nurse student

    nessajune21 replied to shauntaebrit's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I know my instructors use powerpoints. Perhaps follow the topics covered in the powerpoints as an outline, but also be sure to read all of the chapter. It is unrealistic to ask someone to provide you...

  18. How much waste do you see?

    nessajune21 replied to PiPhi2004's topic in General Nursing

    I said the POST was disgusting and an embarrassment to the profession- not YOU. I am sorry if you mistook my offense to your words as a blow to you as a person. I did not ever say YOU were disgusting....

  19. How much waste do you see?

    nessajune21 replied to PiPhi2004's topic in General Nursing

    Your original post never stated anything about sparing anyone any pain. Your post only complained about allocating money to homeless, illegal, or unisured patients that cost "thousands of dollars a...

    nessajune21 replied to wishiwereanurse's topic in General Nursing

    A car wash won't be enough. Perhaps contact your local news station to get the story out and ask all the local businesses to donate to the hospital. I'm sure the hospital is doing all they can do to...

  22. PreMed nursing

    nessajune21 replied to frustratedbummer's topic in General Nursing

    I totally agree with all that icyounurse posted. The BSN lacks a lot of what you need for med school admittance. You could take summer classes to fill in these gaps. The degree itself may help in...
