We have plenty of instructors like yours. They make us tough. I just hope that the oppressed of today, will not turn out to be the tyrants of tomorrow. ^_^

Boy is this bad news.

I so like this reply. Very True.

I agree. Instead of just thinking of our patient's welfare, more MDs are more concerned with the threat to their degree of education. What good is a title if we don't live up to that title? I respect Dr. Tom, I have a friend like him.

Nurses and MDs are not supposed to misunderstand and climb over one another, they are made to UNDERSTAND and collaborate for the welfare of others.

I think Doctors in Philosophy or Education are not that stupid to stand up and present themselves as Medical Doctors. Lol. Common Sense. Besides, when a nurse finishes PhD, he/she will probably become a dean of a college or something like that. Being...

She's right.

Wow this reminds me of my instructor Miss ****** but she was only strict in clinical setting, otherwise, she was a very good but a bit sarcastic friend of mine. I deeply agree with you... CLINICAL INSTRUCTORS OF THAT TYPE SHOULDN'T LET YOU DOWN, INST...

Wow I never thought it was this hard to find a nursing job there. Usually, when my countrymen nurses apply there, there is positive feedback. Employers immediately if not as soon as possible call these applicants as in the case of my cousin who gradu...

from where i come from, we use the famous PERLA detergent bar. Soak in the uniform for 30mins then voila! All Stains out with a few brushes. ^^

You know what, we almost have the same experience with my grandfather, only that he had multiple organ failure and prostate CA. Now I'm a graduating nursing stud doing my thing good. Thank You MiaNur. ^_^

I suggest you use Marieb's mnemonic- Oh Oh Oh To Touch and Feel Very Good Velvet Ah Heaven. It's more wholesome. LOL. However don't be confused with the oh oh oh. You might mis arrange the olfactory, optic, and oculomotor nerves. Just remember OLOPOC...

We follow ABC's in prioritizing NDs, airway comes first.

thanks!!! ^_^

Hi. I am currently having one of the worst dilemmas a student nurse can have. I was given one month to finish a case study about an ortho patient and when 3weeks lapsed and I was almost done with the study, my case study adviser announced that he'll ...

Jadu, your wife-husband-counseling assoc with heart blocks is so cute, I cant wait to share this with my classmates. ^^

Disorder and disease are used interchangeably in clinical settings, but as what i have observed, disease is used more on the physical while disorder is very frequent in psychiatric/psychologic. Syndrome- characterized by the consortium of a group of ...

> I learned in my neuro exposure as discussed by my c.i., a quick neuro assessment comes first if circumstances don't call for immediate or emergency interventions. Through a quick assessment, a nurse may conclude what appropriate position is suit...

Thank you! ^^

It's my final year in nursing college, I'm now working on my case study which is all about fracture of the distal femur. It's my 1st and I can't seem to do this alone. please help.

And one more thing... Is there a soft copy of an orthopedic assessment tool in certain sites? It would be impractical to type my ortho assessment form to soft. I figured i could jst transfer my findings to the soft copy. ^^

We have the same question. I hope someone gives us sites and references for orthopedic assessment. ^^

thank you sooo much. ^^

Just anything about the fracture of the distal femur. I badly need references. A sample case study (any case) would be very helpful, so that I'll be guided as to how to go about with technicals and contextual structuring. Thanks! :imbar

I think the radial pulse disappears when the brachial pulse disappears, either ways, we can conclude that the artery has been successfully occluded. 30mmHg will also do. ^^
