While were on the topic of Physician's Regional in Naples, I would place the Pine Ridge division on the worst list - for lack of a better word, the nurses were shady. Best hospital in the Ft. Myers/Naples area would with no hesitation be Gulf Coast M...

Just another problem with a nursing diagnosis... Sorry. PT: 36 y/o F gravida 2 T0P0A1L0 estimated @ 40 weeks gestation in labor; cervical ripening done w/ Cervadil then labor induced w/ Pitocin @ 8mu/min; Catheter placed; epidural placed at 4 cm dila...

Thank you, very helpful!

Chrissy & Daytonite: Thanks so much for the help, very helpful information. Makes sense now. NewCareerForMe: Ha, that's great! I'm not the only who didn't know!

Hi everyone, I'm in peds/ob right now and just spent a day in the nursery. I have to fill out a w/s and it listed terms and then asked for the description and location. For instance: acrocyanosis, lanugo, mongolian spots, etc. So, my question is wha...

:typing Answer one or more of the following: 1) What floor did you spend your first year/months? 2) Why did you choose the floor? 3) Would you recommend that for NS soon to be graduating? *This was brought about because of the advice that NS should w...

I hear time and time again that it is a great idea for a first year nurse to work on a med/surg floor. So, say I plan on doing so. When I take my senior practicum class and have a 7 week preceptorship, should I complete it on a med/surg floor (this w...

Have you actually wrote out all the cost that you would need to pay for each option? I would do that first. Option A (Commute): rest of the semester costs, books, gas, etc. Option B (new program): all the initial fees, tuition, books, etc. And maybe ...

For FGCU: If you are a resident it is $132.29 per credit hour (not a resident $574.58). Credits per semester vary, average is around 14. There are lab fees, books, & all your nursing gear. Check out each of the schools websites for more informati...

I don't know your full situation, but the BSN is going to be more expensive, but well worth it. But if you plan on getting the ASN then continuing onto your BSN, that will be more money in the end. If you take the BSN, your going to need your prereq...

Was 20 when I started last August in a BSN nursing program. Went in straight out of highschool

Working on care plan> nursing diagnosis. 21 y/o F; one week earlier had emergency c-section due to preeclampsia; presented to ED w/ nausea, vomiting, headache; diagnosed w/ Left transverse sinus thrombosis (CT showed left transverse sinus thrombos...

"Can't she practice on herself? How about she uses the dog? Or some sort of dead animal? I'll gladly run over the neighbors cat or a squirrel or something." Hahahahaha.....:chuckle. That's great. Best of luck in your pursuit of keeping your body punc...

Cardiac PICU :redbeathe

My first and only sibling (Kelley) was born when I was 8 years old. She was born with a VSD along with multiple blockages -at ten days old had her first open-heart surgery to repair the damage. She recovered beautifully, but as time went on her heart...

What's class like? - Not too bad, I actually really enjoy pharmacology (taking a break right now from studying for my pharm test on Monday :typing). Don't think I dont get bored though, I do and tired , but thats just the effects of a 3 hour lecture....

This isn't really a game or puzzle, however I thought it was a corky and fun song/hand movements that helped me & all my friends to remember the cranial nerves. Type in "cranial nerve song" in google > then go to video. It's the first one (25...

Thanks, it put a smile on my face!

I agree with chevyv. I use the 4 x 6 index cards, punch a whole in the corner (maybe secure the whole with those hole protectors) and purchased plastic rings (like keychain rings, same size only plastic) from walmart/office supply store, put one of t...

For a BSN program you will need algebra (or higher) and statistics.

You spend your rare and small amount of free time reading AllNurses blogs... And absolutely love it! :loveya:

Your hanging out with your friends and you say "Excuse me, I have to void"

Strictly based on nursing and the use of it in nursing, I would say A & P. However, chemistry is tough & is a prereq for many nursing programs, so taking it now would help you to have a better insight when it comes to the actual class. I wo...

A microscope for nursing school ... Mmmmm, I would say save your money. Do they expect you to lag it along with you to clinicals and take samples of the patients, cause that is just silly :icon_roll

The hospital I do my clinicals at has their own patient worksheets, and I was wondering what this term meant The abbreviation is IS (then it leaves space for you to write an answer), and it is put in the column with: room air or oxygen; saturation le...
