2. How do you deal with a crying child?

   J9G2008 replied to bambam1288's topic in General Nursing

   @ Ayvah: Yes, I think parents should be left in the position of comforter. There is plenty of staff in the hospital to hold a leg or arm if need be. And at the regular pediatrician's office, two...

3. How do you deal with a crying child?

   J9G2008 replied to bambam1288's topic in General Nursing

   I disagree. A parent is someone who loves their child and protects them from harm. A nurse or doctor is a paid professional who is doing a job that may hurt that child, even if it is for their own...

4. How do you deal with a crying child?

   J9G2008 replied to bambam1288's topic in General Nursing

   I don't think much you do is going to convince a child to allow you to clean/pack wounds. When my son was in the hospital, his nurse would always bring someone else with her to hold down his...

5. Hi, are you the doctor?

   J9G2008 replied to Bortaz's topic in General Nursing

   I think the only other people who get this as much as men in nursing are female doctors. Breaking down stereotypes is hard work,

8. NURSERY TEACHING SHEET -- help, please

   J9G2008 replied to ldyjstce's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

   You can also google "Krames online" for patient education sheets on many or all of these topics. They are printable, easy to read, and something that you could hand to the families you will be working...

9. What exactly is EXPECTED?

   J9G2008 replied to almostfearless's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

   What I do is get report from the nurse (or listen in to their reports to each other), go in to meet my patient with the Dynamap with me, take their vitals, do a quick assessment, chart all the info,...

10. assessment paper

    J9G2008 replied to becky5438's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Um, my "system" consists of writing lots of little notes all over my worksheet at clinicals, then flipping madly through all of it when it's time to do my assessment paper. One thing I was taught in...

11. Please help me with my first care plan!!

    J9G2008 replied to idimarzio's topic in General Students

    I don't think "Risk for Infection" is where you want to go. Those are for conditions that may develop, but haven't necessarily occurred yet. Like, a surgical patient has risk for infection due to the...

    Hello all! I am (hopefully) graduating from an ADN program in May. I am really hoping to get a job in pediatrics, and U of M is the place I want to work. Do they hire ADN nurses? What units do they...

15. motivation for studying

    J9G2008 replied to jessi11's topic in General Students

    I really don't think that learning to make beds puts the nurse in a "servant" role. When you start nursing school, there is a right way to do everything. And making a bed, especially if there is a...
