I am currently in my last semester of clinical and I’m appalled at the amount of racism! On my first day of clinical I followed a nurse that made comments such as: Black people are obnoxious and loud! How could a nurse say such things! I also followe...

Hello everyone! I'm currently helping an agency with review and improve their documentation. After review several of the patients charts I noticed that there is no documentation of any education. Now, I know that the nurses are educating on somethin...

Hello, I am a home health nurse looking for a visiting wound care nurse that I could refer my patients to. I must admit my agency does not have a wound care nurse on staff and I have a patient who is in desperate need of one. I have advised him to...

I totally agree! The previous home health agency I worked for provided a certified wound care nurse that would evaluate the patient and then I would do all the dressing changes. They also had a dietician that would consult with the patients when n...

I have been a nurse for a year and this is how I remember the basic idea: HypOtonic -- I picture a HUGE SWOLLEN hippo that is about to bust walking from the vascular space into a cell while spewing the fluid. ( I know I'm odd) HypERtonic - I pictur...

Nomadmomma......so how is the micro class?

Oh...on more question. I am taking part B summer one session with Pleifer. Has anyone taken him and is her good?

Thanks for the reply. Sounds easy. I was worried all the test had to be proctored which would be really hard for me. Since it just one I am paying for the class right now :).

Did you have to have labs proctored or any test proctored. Also, what is up with the A&P 2 part A and part B. What does that mean?

I want to make sure I'm reading the post right. I have signed up for online chem. I will have to buy a software to complete the labs and I will have one in classroom lab to complete. I will also have to find proctor for the last exam...right?

I have been searching high and low for a summer online A&P course with no luck! Is there any open A&P 2 summer course open out there?

Oh darn. I want eveything to be online. I don't have time to go to campus. I guess I have to wait until the fall semester.
