You Go Guurlll! Renal is a booger!

I need a push in the right direction. I have a 19 year old pt. with a rare but aggressive seizure disorder called lennox gastaut disorder. Ontop of that she is autistic, nonverbal, incontinent. She has a vagal nerve stimulator and the seizures are ...

Impaired verbal communication was the very first diagnoses that I had initially decided but then I changed my mind. I guess you should always go with your first instinct! I always want to make a good impression and end up making more work for myself...

I agree...They have tutors. Some teachers will allow the cheat sheet but that is totally up to the instructor. No matter where you decide to go in life there will always be that person who wants to do half the work for the full benefits they make it ...

Geesh...I couldn't find the end of this thread LOL!...I'm an older student so I just thought that it was me being irritated by the much younger students but I guess that I am not alone and overreacting but I have a story...There is a girl who comes i...

I congratulate you as well...I also wish you well on those limited hours of sleep you will have LOL! Lean on the classmates that you enter the program with as they will truly be the only ones who will understand what you are facing, and you will spen...

I just finished my nursery rotation last week and it wasn't a bad experience for someone who wants no part of OB/PEDS! I enjoyed it really. 1. Head to toe assessments reflex assessments; rooting, sucking, swallowing, step, babinski's, fontanels, as...

I believe that this is the case as CNA's in nursing homes cannot do glucose checks (At least that's the case in the state I live in). EKG's and phlebotomy you have to be trained per request of your department. I just think that in a hospital you have...

Kind of confusing to me. I think the title differs where you work at...I am a patient care technician in a hospital but certified as a CNA and I have NEVER even heard of a patient technician course...I just thought that the title was different depend...

I second that!

Knowing that you can go to your RN for any assistance. I work on a medical unit and some RN's WILL NOT do tech work. I have witnessed some of them walk out of a room, look for the tech, tell them someone needes cleaned up, and go and sit down. And ...

second shift 2p-10p. The big wigs are gone, most of the work is out of the way, midway through your sift the patients are winding down and ready to go to sleep, all the docs are gone, and all of the visitors are starting to leave I don't feel so pre...

I am not downplaying any of you guys frustration, anticipation, discouragement, or anger...I understand as I was in the exact same boat in fall 06'. It took FOREVER for them to get back with me and when they did send a letter it was to inform me that...

My A&PII class for the entire semester, each test, each quiz and all homework assignments were fill in the blank. No multiple choice, no true false all 16 weeks...FILL In the Blank. Don't drop your class as if you are trying to get accepted into...

Listen to me...For the love of all the greater good of mankind and in the whole world...Please DO NOT take micorbiology as an online course! any science or math course online is not a good idea in the first place. Online classes take the utmost disc...

Ditto...You admission letter will be the only indicator that you are in. The programs are extremely competitive and there are alot of students wanting in. It's a procedure and they have to play by the rules to keep their accredidation...You just ha...

LOL! I remember those questions...Don't sweat it honestly it really is all about common sense.

Yes...nurses do the yucky stuff as well. I am a SR. nursing student and I work as a tech in the hospital. You will have RN's who feel as if they are above helping out with bed pans and making beds, you have some who won't even so much as take vital...

depends on what state you live in. Some will hire you while your waiting on you certification but you won't be able to do alot of duties that an aid usually does. Like I said I don't know what state you live in but I don't think that it will be ver...

I am needing some advice. I have a ppt pt. that will be 24 hrs post op in the morning. I have a #1 diagnoses of risk for fluid volume deficit r/t blood loss during surgical procedure and possibility of post op complications. Out come #1 patient wi...

I have a problem...My care plan from last week was so horrible but my instructor gave me a second chance to redeem myself. My second nursing diagnoses was impaired skin integrity r/t inflammation of the skin for a newborn (2day old) infant with eryt...

I am a second semester junior at a local university and I work as a patient care technician (CNA) on the med-surg floor. I am PRN so I get floated ALOT. To the psych floor, ER, surgery center, cardiac unit, OB, ICU, peds. I worked in a factory for t...

It stinks that you have to pay all of that money and cant get any of your credits to transfer. I think that it's due to the fact that some schools have different criteria for their programs. The only nursing class that I know of that they are pretty ...

Wow!!! Where do you guys go to school at? I can only manage every other weekend.
