Thanks!

What about the pulse pressure with an MI? would it be narrow or wide?

Thanks! I am talking about having an LPN, then getting a RN-BSN. I am aware of the BSN requirements. I will e-mail the NMC.

This is so discouraging my goodness! Do you know anything about acceptance with the NMC as far as an LPN, getting an ADN/RN and then a RN-BSN?

The Msc at Anglia Ruskin is a year long --

Wondering about this as well -- I am currently an LPN, and wish to finish the LPN - ADN/RN through my school. Will the NMC accept that in conjunction with a RN to BSN program? What about an RN to MSN program?

I am interested in the exact same thing -- if you are a ADN educated RN -- except in my case I have a previous Bachelor's in Photography..will they consider you entrance to the NMC..what if you enroll in a program like this? http://www.anglia.ac.uk/ruskin/en/home/prospectus/pg/international_nursing_studies.html After you complete the Msc, would they allow you into the ONP? Even though you have a ADN/RN, you are completeing a Master's in the UK?

that's what I thought, but I hear it also being used as a general corrective insulin outside of mealtimes. A bit confusing. It would also be held if the individual does not want to eat correct? (Humalog)

I have a question regarding this as well. Is Humalog also used as a corrective insulin (based on BS) at bedtime along with Lantus?

I have a question regarding this whole issue. I find it so strange. I work for a well known non profit for the developmentally disabled/mentally ill. Just started as a LPN Shift Supervisor. I don't pass any of the meds, the MA's or floor staff do. I don't understand this at all. Why would it be set up this way? Not exactly sure what my job responsibilities will be entirely.

Have a question with this -- when straight cathing to obtain the urine sample, is it recommended to have the cath go directly into the urine specimen cup or is it ok for it to still go into the sterile tray and then into the urine specimen cup?

I am confused about TB readings. Does the induration have to be a visible lump under the skin, or under? I have felt tests with no visible lump on top of the skin, but there has been a small amount of hardness beneath.

So.. does anemia cause low BP? And if so, why?? because of decreased fluid volume? (low HGB)

I have a question about this as well -- with a possible stroke would you see handgrips weak bilaterally or usually one side weaker than the other? Or possibly both? (all the more reason to know pt's baseline.)

Can someone explain why Sodium is restricted in CHF? Don't CHF patient's generally have lower sodium levels due to fluid retention/dilution? It's confusing! Sodium helps retain fluid, but it also gets diluted with too much?
