  1. Can student administer medication without RN supervision?

    studentinnursing replied to AnneN's topic in General Students

    studentinnursing replied to lemidora's topic in General Students

    Just remember that your teachers will help if you ask. If they don't, ask the other one. Someone will help you when you don't understand. And your friends/other students (who will be your friends...

  8. Can student administer medication without RN supervision?

    studentinnursing replied to AnneN's topic in General Students

    This is how my instructor did it; once we do our 3 checks with the instructor present, we can give the meds. And if the RN asks if we want to do meds, and we do (I WILL NOT GIVE ANYTHING I DIDN'T...

    studentinnursing replied to kimbo9's topic in General Nursing

    The new grad RN here has a BSN and BSN's do a lot more than an RN, let alone what LPN's are allowed to do. More extensive physical exam's, etc. An RN cannot even check for hepatomegaly, but a BSN RN...

  21. 1st semester book costs

    studentinnursing replied to azhic13's topic in General Students

    I spent $70 on my Littmann and had it engraved for free. I've heard they can "disappear" -- and I had to borrow that money to buy it; I surely couldn't spend $300 on a stethoscope either, but I...

  22. 1st semester book costs
