Our final project is to identify a patient in need of teaching regarding a disease/illness/problem they are having, and develop a plan of care based on one of the things they need to learn. My broad topic is low-back pain and my patient is a pregnant...

This is honestly the most vaugue assignment I have had, thank goodness it is the last! We had to pick a topic based on a real person with a real issue that we could teach outside of school. The paper actually is not going to have an actual nursing...

Do you have a nursing diagnosis book? I think that would help you alot. You would not ever say acute pain related to excessive alcohol. Heres some examples directly from the book: Acute pain may be related to obstruction of pancreatic/biliary ducts, ...

I had a 4.0 before nursing school and got a B throughout the ADN program, leaving me with a cummulative of around 3.5. I am going to be attending an RN to BSN program BUT once I finish that...how important is my GPA if I want to try and get in to a ...

The 1 yr program to complete my BSN is 45 credits, so assuming I earn an A in all those courses my GPA could potentially be a 3.75ish.

Constipation can be used as a nursing diagnosis, it is in my carpinito book. There is Constipation, risk for constipation, and risk for constipation. An actual nursing diagnosis according to carpinito has to of been validated by the presence of major...

I use the Handbook of Nursing Diagnosis by Carpinito-Moyet and in the back of it there is a section for medical conditions and ND and PC that go along with them. For DM it has the following listed: the most common is ND: imbalanced nutrition more th...

My professor said you should really take them from the book. As far as the one you wrote, I think by making your own it makes it a little confusing because it leaves out information. The person is constipated related to urinating excessively second...

The rhythm method

Allopurinol reduces myocardial oxygen demand...according to my professor. I personally remembered it for completely incorrect reasons apparently. I thought it was an alpha beta blocker (ilol) I thought it dilated the vessels. Oops!

Not sure if it is the same when you are studying for a retake but at my school we have a 98% first time pass rate. They suggest that we take the nclex within 4 weeks of finishing school and not to self study for 2-3 months. We take finals, the scho...

Did this guy yell in front of everyone in the loby specific information about the patient? It seems like he was violating HIPAA in addition to lacking professionalism. I think if you send this email account of events in an objective manner with jus...

I am in my last year of school. I did not read everything they assigned, just the info that I needed. I used a book by FA Davis called Fundamentals Success, it also has a CD with many nclex questions. I think most students would suggest a nclex bo...

just reviewing my notes and realized I made a typo...nitro tabs should tingle under tongue.

These are my notes/facts from a med surg lecture... [B][FONT=Elementary SF]Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) – Facts[/B]- [FONT=Elementary SF]Most common acquired cardiac disease- [FONT=Elementary SF]Associated with many risk factors that are contr...

Well I have vista and office 2007, so if you dont the steps might be slightly different. If you have the full version of adobe acrobat (not just the adobe reader) this should work, it did for me. I have to get going to class but I will be more than ...

I have never heard of a nursing diagnosis ineffective protection. If you get a good nursing diagnosis book, it will have all the info you need. You really shouldnt be making anything up, it is all in the book. Your patient has an infection, has a ...

You will not be able to do it unless you download adobe or some other PDF program. The Davis and many of the CD's are in PDF format. You can download a 90 free trial of adobe...I always retained more by retyping what I was writing though, then you ...

Honestly when the situation is that dire...you should really meet with your professor. If you show that you really want help, they will be there for you. If you see them the day before the exam they might not take you seriously. Good Luck! Take a...

When I was 16 and needed oral contraceptives, I went to a planned parenthood. I continued to go there until my early 20's for BC, yearly exams, pap smears etc. The people who worked there were some of the nicest peopel I've come in contact with. To...

Planned parenthood does alot more than abortions. They provide birth control, fertility treatment, pap smears, prenatal visits, hormonal replacements, std testing, vasectomies, and general health care like physical exams, anemia testing, cholesterol...
