We're supposed to pick 3 and we are not supposed to use 'risk for' unless the CI approves it. So I'm thinking: 1. Ineffective Breathing Patterns 2. Ineffective Airway Clearance 3. Anxiety I really wanted to use Risk for Impaired Respiratory Function ...
I figured since I am in a 2-year program, I would call myself a nursing student the first year then a student nurse the 2nd year since it sounds more official to me. How do you refer to yourself??
I am also an RN student and have been assigned to both RNs and LPNs and in my experience the LPNs have been much nicer to me, more caring toward the pts and happier to answer questions than the RNs have been. The RNs seem annoyed to have a student as...
I'm in an ADN program and plan to get my BSN through an RN-to-BSN program. I was looking at the school that I plan on doing that through and you still have to do all the courses that any other BSN student has to go through!! Although I will have a lo...
I haven't really looked much into other school's programs because the hospital this RN-BSN program is affiliated with is the hospital I want to work at and (according to the little recruiting party they had for us) they will pay for us to get our BSN...
That's my plan as well. I want to become a NP. The RN-BSN program I am looking at is supposed to be for the 'working nurse' but when I looked at it today, it was showing that all the regular BSN pre-reqs had to be met before you could apply for the R...

It depends on how in depth the instructor goes in to A&P. With the instructor I have now, I wouldn't even think about taking A&P I and II at the same time!! Way TMI to absorb at once!!My school doesn't offer it like that anyway. A&PI is a...
Anyone else getting excited for next semester to start?? I was telling my husband how excited I was then I got to thinking that it must mean that as hard as the first semester was to adjust to, it didn't crush my spirit about becoming a nurse:nurse: ...
I'm glad to hear I am not the only one to get up super early for clinicals!! I normally set my alarm for 0400 so I can wake up (I am NOT a morning person), get a shower, get my daughter up, get her ready for daycare and be out the door by 0600 so I c...
The one in my A&P book was : On Occassion Our Trusty Truck Acts Funny, Very Good Vehicle AnyHow. And for if they are motor, sensory or both: Some Say Marry Money But My Brother Says it's Bad Business to Marry Money. Hope this helps!!
This will probably sound dumb but what is a practicuum? I have seen it in other schools' curriculum but I have never heard it at my school. What is it??

My daughter was born 10 weeks early by emergency caesarian due to severe preeclampsia so I didn't get to touch her at all until 2 days after she was born. The NICU nurses strongly suggested skin-to-skin contact (they called it kangaroo care). I tried...
We have the books and stuff but we just got the access codes about 2 weeks before the end of the semester. This is the first year the school has used them so I don't think they have quite figured out how they want to incorporate it into their curricu...
I'm not sure if it's just because it's the end of the semester or stress or what but I am all of a sudden feeling incredibly burned out!! My daughter was sick this past week and I missed both clinical days, we had foley checkoffs right before Thanksg...
It's not that I thought this was going to be an easy program, it's all of the outside stuff (like my kid getting sick and having to miss school) on top of the stress that the end of the semester brings anyway that's getting to me. It's really staring...
I'm a competent foley inserter!! Woohoo!! It's funny. So far this has been the most 'technical' checkoff we've been required to perform and yet it's the one I was least worried about. Go figure... I hope everyone has a nice holiday!! Enjoy your break...
We haven't gone too deep into nursing dx yet but does this sound about right as far as nursing dx go: Impaired Physical Mobility r/t pain secondary to abdominal surgery?? Pt had laparoscopic colon resection. I know it's probably not the most sophisti...
...would get a little excited about having to get a CT scan done! I have a small hard mass (1-2cm) in my RLQ and my doctor scheduled me for a CT scan tomorrow since I have had conflicting diagnoses regarding exactly what it is and it is causing me di...
Sounds like fun times... This stuff is 'lemon-vanilla' flavored (who in the world came up with that combination?! lol) and they recommended mixing it with Sprite. My appt got moved to Friday at the hospital (the radiologist office that they were goin...
