HI! I was hoping someone could help me out with this care plan I have. I have spent hours and trolled the internet for answers to no avail! BTW I am a 2nd semester RN student! My patient is a young man with an ejection fracture of 28%. He came in thr...

Hey I just did a cardiac care plan last week and got some great feedback on here too. If you go to this link or do a goggle there may be some things to help you https://allnurses.com/nursing-student-assistance/care-planning-decreased-827162.html Good...

I hear what your saying. However, our program tells us to do it this way. Trust if it was up to me I would do it much different. We ALWAYS have to assess for our EO first and monitor teach and treat. Thats what they want and since I am the student...

Thank you. Yes that I what I did instead. Having EF as a AMB was too difficult. IN my program anything and everything in the AMB has to be addressed and made into an EO. I just didnt see how EF could be improved in a short term goal so I replaced it ...

Thank you I use Ackley too. I got some good NI from here but had to change my EO. I just took out the EF and used DOE and c/o fatigue... We worked on improving that in my NI. Thanks again

Oh thank you so much. This was very informative. I also use Ackley! I like it but I just was confused on how to use EF. I winded up changing it after the input from here! Thanks again!

Thanks again everyone. Yes he is CHF. He has had multiple stents placed and his diabetes doesnt make things better. I want to do BP, pulse etc but there are all WNL during my assessment. When he initially came in he was defiantly showing some s/s tha...

Ok thanks to both of you! I guess I better stick with this EO and just focus my NI on increasing CO, MAP which will inadvertently increase EF. Thanks

That's my issue haha. I havent found a sound number for a normal EF. I know that

Thanks I will change that!! My assessment was the DOE, diminished lung sounds, weak peripheral and femoral pulses, chest pain, impaired vision and hearing, orthopnea limitations in all ROM, Upper and lower extremities weak against resistance, he has ...

God is good! Congrats on the RN program! I will be starting Aug 20th as well. I am nervous and excited in the same breath! I know God will see us through these next two yrs though

Thank you so much for your post. I am so nervous starting my program! I also have my BA with science in the background like others. I have three small children and I had to leave my job to accept NS. I use to work 50 plus hrs a week with the commute ...

Congrts to all that recieved the scholarship! I am praying I can recieve it too but if not it wasnt part of Gods plan! NS will be tough without it but I am going to try my best to succeed!!

I have so much anxiety about starting its crazy! I keep thinking can I do it, am I smart enough, what about my kids? Will they be okay? Will I pass my clinicals etc etc. Its nerve racking but I try to have faith that God will see me through and if it...

So happy for you! Go make it count! Become a great RN

Thanks, Starting in 2 weeks too and this helps!

A joy to read! Once you finished nursing and entered the field, were you happy working as an RN eventhough it wasnt with children? We have avery similar story. God has placed nursing on my heart since I was young but with programs being so impacted I...

HI Im in the same boat as the OP. Community college in california. One option you could try in unemployment. in Ca we have the California Training benefit where you collect unemployment while in an APPROVED school/ course. Its worth trying and checki...

Oh thanks for the ideas. Yes my son is in kinder and I know about the bases program. The other two are 4 & infant. I have used the sittercity before and its good just pricey depending on your needs! Well I guess ill see u on monday!

Ya im still looking into daycare options...we wont be able to afford our current childcare so im still researching. But im faithfull it will all work out! My husband income is not enough to cover all expenses but he has options to work another job if...

Oh I understand! I live in temecula and will have to quit my full time job too! We just bought a house and had a baby, which makes 3 kids for us. Last semester I got the notice that I may start early but I said if at all possible I dont want too. The...
