    cardiac~lover posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi everyone. Next Thursday is my pinning ceremony!!!! I've finally done it. I've graduated from a practical nursing program. Herein lies the problem. I printed off the NCLEX-PN application to send to...

  2. NCLEX application. Bipolar ?

    cardiac~lover replied to cardiac~lover's topic in General Nursing

    I see your point PaulW. Whether it's stereotype or statistic, they require this information. I am curious as to how many nurses in this country have ever dealt with Bipolar disorder or depression, or...

  3. NCLEX application. Bipolar ?

    cardiac~lover replied to cardiac~lover's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not afraid of them denying my licensure at all. I know too many nurses that are on medication for a mental health reason. My thing is that I don't want to do anything to make this whole process...

    cardiac~lover replied to cardiac~lover's topic in General Nursing

    :argue: Seriously

  5. NCLEX application. Bipolar ?

    cardiac~lover replied to cardiac~lover's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry, didn't mean to confuse everyone by interchanging the BON and the NCLEX people. I see how it changes the views because NCLEX doesn't 'need' to know. But don't lie to BON. Is this

  6. NCLEX application. Bipolar ?

    cardiac~lover replied to cardiac~lover's topic in General Nursing

    Ohio BON home site. Left hand side links- FORMS. Halfway down the page- NURSE LICENSURE BY EXAM/ENDORSEMENT. Then EXAMINATION APPLICATION. It's question number

  7. NCLEX application. Bipolar ?

    cardiac~lover replied to cardiac~lover's topic in General Nursing

    Okay. Stanley and Paul W. obviously don't agree on this issue. However I'm actually more confused now than when I was before posting. Between ADA, HIPPA, and BON references. So.... if I admit I have a...

  8. NCLEX application. Bipolar ?

    cardiac~lover replied to cardiac~lover's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for responding. I thought the same thing. If I say yes, I'm not sure what will happen. If I say no (because it is hippa, and I know I am a safe, effective nurse) isn't that lying to the people...

  9. What's Your Best Nursing Ghost Story?

    cardiac~lover replied to steffck's topic in General Nursing

    I was working as an aide in a long term care facility a couple years ago, midnight shift. We turned most of the lights off in the hallways so the residents could sleep. It was always a little creepy...

  13. Electrolyte question

    cardiac~lover posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    When studying the differences of hypo- and hypernatremia, I'm confused as to why hyponatremia(low sodium) would cause hypertension. I know that when sodium shifts out of the cells, water goes in to...

  14. Electrolyte question

    cardiac~lover replied to RegisteredNurse2010's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Are you only looking for psychocsocial aspects of the surgery? My thoughts: Personal Identity disturbance or Sexual Patterns

  19. Help!!!!!

    cardiac~lover replied to cardiac~lover's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'm sorry to report that the next day the patient was transferred to another floor along with her chart. My instructor told me not to worry about the drug. I told her I was curious and she said there...

  20. Should I ask new employer if I can work the floor with the aides before charging?

    cardiac~lover replied to mondkmondk's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Of course nurses are responsible for the duties of an "aide". My reasoning comes from my current employer who, as a nursing student and 5yr CNA, will not allow me to continue in my current job...

  21. Should I ask new employer if I can work the floor with the aides before charging?

    cardiac~lover replied to mondkmondk's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    The problem employers have with this is that you are a nurse, and working as an aide allows for too many grey areas. What you are allowed to do and not allowed to do. The scopes of practice are so...

  22. Help with Nursing Diagnosis

    cardiac~lover replied to daisydiva10's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I would prioritize pain and discomfort over skin integrity. Acute pain r/t either dx or bedrest. Or you could do Nutrition:Impaired, less than body requirments. You could also do Activity

    cardiac~lover replied to Nick&Leslie's topic in General Students

    If you look at the top of the post it says Final Review Online. I'm assuming the students are allowed to print the review
