  1. poor r wave progression/ student nurse

    sunshineyday replied to curious4life's topic in Cardiac

    i agree with the other post. There is no cut and dry NANDA diagnoses for what you have listed. Start with "What is an R wave". The QRS complex is ventricular depolarization. Think about the...

  2. Tele vs CVU

    sunshineyday replied to emptybee's topic in Cardiac

    I think it depends on the hospital. A main difference I think universally would be with the CABG's, AAA's and Caths. CVU would be the first place these pts go. Whereas in tele, they've probably...

  12. about KU nursing school?

    sunshineyday replied to rdm09's topic in General Nursing

    I have heard a lot of positive things about St. Lukes. I graduated from KU. I really didn't like it. It's the luck of the draw as far as what clinical instructor you get and a lot of the...

    sunshineyday posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    I have three interviews lined up and I'm excited to get out of the hell hole that is my first job as a "real" nurse. I've read a lot of different threads and some people say if you stay a short time...

    sunshineyday replied to PACNWNURSING's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm in a "graduate assistance program". We started out with 38 new grads at the end of June. I just got the October 1 class roster and it is 22. I agree that clinicals don't prepare the student...

    sunshineyday replied to sunshineyday's topic in General Nursing

    I won't validate your response with a long-winded answer. Your assumptions could not be farther from the truth. I only mentioned my academic record during the interview processes. And yes this...
