  1. Please help!

    Peetz replied to hopefulUS's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    How can he/she say they are both low? In response to stress you use ACTH ( adrenocorticotropic hormone) but is is also produced in response to stress, so it would therefore increase, along with...

  2. Please help!

    Peetz replied to hopefulUS's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    ACTH production would decrease and CRF production would increase. When a muscle is activated and required to lift a load which is less than the maximum tetanic tension it can generate, the muscle...

  3. can RN delegate a medical assistant?

    Peetz replied to robert2010's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    " Can an RN delegate to a MA?" Yes. An RN can delegate to anyone as long as the task they are delegating is within the persons scope of practice. The RN has to know what that scope is, It will be...

  4. Nursing DX for postpartum couplet

    Peetz replied to haileyq's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    You could use the "at risk for" dx. She is at risk for lack of sleep, fatigue, dehydration, imbalanced nutrition ( less or more that body allows) pain, ( r/t recent lady partsl birth, new breast...

  5. IV pumps make me nervous

    Peetz replied to jollygirl098's topic in General Nursing

    No you are not stupid! Pumps make me nervous too. They all seem to be different from floor to floor and never want to work right the first time. Making you look and feel stupid for trying to set one...

  6. "Keep Vein Open" rate - Thesis research

    Peetz replied to rdrexx's topic in Patient Medications

    The hospital where I have my clinicals has a TKO ( to keep open) rate of 51 gtt/min. not sure how they come up with that. Current volume would have to play a roll in that, as well as PTT results,...

  7. Taking NCLEX-PN in 2 days. Any advice?

    Peetz replied to deemarys's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    My biggest help before a major test is a positive attitude. Remember The quote by Thomas, " If men define situations as real, they are real in their consequences." The self fulfilling prophecy. Go...

  8. Staffing guidelines without central monitoring

    Peetz replied to babynurse357's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I agree, it seems dangerous to have two pt's being induced at the same time without a remote monitor for one person to keep an eye on. Could you approach the hospital board with the evidence based...

  9. NG tube help!

    Peetz replied to jcolli01's topic in General Students

    Find it and watch it on youtube.com I get most of my education from that site. Sounds like you will have to also. Good luck. Your school sounds as bad as mine. Thanks GOD I am in my last semester...

  10. Pinning Ceremony for nursing students

    Peetz posted a topic in General Students

    I am graduating in the spring of this year, and it is a tradition to have a pinning ceremony. Can you tell me how your college works your ceremony? Do they provide the pins? Do they " throw" you the...

  11. Pinning Ceremony for nursing students

    Peetz replied to Peetz's topic in General Students

    Graduation and the pinning ceremony are completely separate at my CC. The nursing club is responsible for raising funds for the pinning ceremony. With one fund raiser we have raised over 700$ so maybe...

  12. What grade is "passing" in your nursing school??

    Peetz replied to blessed2bfree's topic in General Students

    The content of the care plans should be the same, I agree, but you will never find two clinical instructors who agree on quality of content. Go to your advisor and ask that they call a meeting with...

  13. What does Accrediation mean for nursing school?

    Peetz replied to bcems134's topic in General Students

    Just means that groups have checked out the schools learning content and approved it. Such a OCNE and other education based groups. The more accreditation the better so what you learned is not a...

  14. Favortism in Nursing School

    Peetz replied to latebloomer74's topic in General Students

    Feel pity for those who don't earn their RN degree, they are the ones who wind up in court and loose their license due to malpractice. Concentrate on you and not anyone

  15. NG Tube feeding, I am confused?

    Peetz replied to Mell Bell's topic in General Students

    Yes, that is right, BUT. Checking residual can be misleading. 80% of the " residual" stomach contents is normal secretions and swallowed saliva, so even if the residual is 200 ml or more that does not...

  16. What grade is "passing" in your nursing school??

    Peetz replied to blessed2bfree's topic in General Students

    A 75% is passing in my school. Not sure how they can get away with having so many different passing percentages. Should be a standard % to

  17. BSN Programs

    Peetz replied to Serena71's topic in General Students

    If you are pursing a bachelors of science in nursing you first must complete your RN requirements. You are not required to get your RN, such as the NCLEX exam and all, you can forgo that and continue...

  18. Research Paper Ideas for Nursing?

    Peetz replied to aismail3's topic in General Students

    At home births VS hospital births. Lots of great info and just enough controversy to create a really good paper but not so much that you will be

  19. First paper due and still have no clue

    Peetz replied to downy's topic in General Students

    This 'replacement" assingment is far to unaceptable for you to do in your first term of your first year without having any teaching on nursing dx or interventions or outcomes. There is just no way for...

  20. timid

    Peetz replied to becky5438's topic in General Students

    Don't let the quick observations of nurse make you think you are something you may not be. If you are not a timid person then don't worry about it. If you feel you are timid, then take a look at your...

  21. OCNE competencies **HELP**

    Peetz posted a topic in General Students

    I am a second year nursing student and always have a hard time coming up with examples for my competencies. I have been doing clinicals for 3 weeks this term and don't feel I have enough examples to...
