  1. Nursing School Interview

    Nursey103 replied to Blessed2009's topic in General Students

    Weird....our ADN program just mailed out acceptance/non-acceptance letters and that was it!! Wouldn't think you'd need a resume...it's school, not employment, but take it just in case! Good

  2. Patient suing surgeon

    Nursey103 replied to Butternut's topic in General Nursing

    I mean without knowing the whole story, I don't know. But, like I mentioned, the surgeon is the ultimate person in charge during surgery. When the patient gets lawyered up....he might end up going...

  3. Patient suing surgeon

    Nursey103 replied to Butternut's topic in General Nursing

    Depends....was his mistake in the OR? Usually, from my experience, they'll take full responsibility - they are the surgeon & the one ultimately responsible for what happens during

  4. Insulin Regimes?

    Nursey103 replied to nikki17's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I think you would always have a doctors order.. In the hospital where I'm doing clinicals, we give insulin off a sliding scale (usually Novolog) and I think they give Lantus in the evening (I'm never...

  5. Dove uniform sizing

    Nursey103 replied to 2bJoshRN9788's topic in General Students

    The great thing about Dove....if the pants/top don't fit, you can call/e-mail them and they'll send you out another size even before you send the originals back. I was told to get a small (per their...

  7. JCAHO and bedside medications...

    Nursey103 replied to RN*mommy's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Just trying to help really....not trying to be a smarta$$! I'd hate to be making spelling errors such as that one in the hospital......like I said, I thought I saw the same error in another post so...

  8. JCAHO and bedside medications...

    Nursey103 replied to RN*mommy's topic in Ob/Gyn

    You do know it's medications and not medUcations right?? I believe I saw another one of your posts w/ the same spelling

  9. Has anyone here ever taken an anatomy class online?

    Nursey103 replied to emily_ganshert's topic in General Nursing

    I've never heard of it but Anatomy has too much lab to do online....I would recommend going to class and being able to learn and see actual things (skeletons, actual hearts & brains, etc.) - can't...

  10. medications

    Nursey103 replied to carlarenee02's topic in General Students

    I'm sure the PRN meds have an MD order. We can't give meds without a Rx! At my hospital, the MD writes PRN orders (some w/ parameters) and the nurse can give.....but never w/o an order. We can't...

  11. medications

    Nursey103 replied to carlarenee02's topic in General Students

    We make medication cards and bring them to clinicals. I save them all on my computer so I can use them over and over again. Also, we are not expected to memorize ALL the drugs for clinical. We look...

  15. NSNA Convention: What am I going to DO there?

    Nursey103 replied to redhead_NURSE98!'s topic in General Students

  16. help! care plan on TIA patient

    Nursey103 posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  18. What is your choice?

    Nursey103 replied to Nrsstudent09's topic in General Students

    That is the one thing that is DRILLED into our heads in school.....ABC's.....so I'd say check airway and if you did do the GCS and you find there is a need to intubate....you would come to the same...

  19. Dx nightmare!

    Nursey103 replied to RunnerLuv's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Or maybe labs haven't revealed anything just yet....may be beginning of something. Elderly usually present with atypical symptoms so it's hard to tell just from mental status change & fever....

  21. new student: Just a few questions.

    Nursey103 replied to NurseGigi145's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    You can check with the pharmacy but I don't think you can ever substitute anything without an MD order. Below is from my med book on dicloxacillin... PHARMACOKINETICS Peak 1 hr; duration 4-6 hr;...

  22. Please help with surgical questions

    Nursey103 replied to PinkCat8307's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I think C (alcohol) might be correct for question number one because it's a CNS depressant and I'm not sure how long alcohol stays in the body....it could possibly affect the amount of anesthesia...
