Hey there-- I'm having some problems coming up with nursing interventions for "fluid volume deficit r/t infection". I need 3. So far I'm "giving IV fluids as ordered", and "administering antibiotics for infection as ordered". I know those probably...
There is an older lady in my family who does this repeating thing that drives us all nuts. I'm wondering if its a condition, or that she's just quirky like that. Basically, you could say, "The onions are in the bottom drawer of the fridge," and she...

Heh, well, that "buying them for their great looks" is somewhat the CORRECT reason why she got them. This lady is actually my grandma, and her daughter (my mom) is deaf. After my mother got hearing aids, she suddenly felt the need to get them. I w...

She does take an anxiety medication, her "nerve pill" as she refers to it. I can't recall at the moment which it is. The OCD thing does sound like a possibility, as other family members do have OCD like symptoms, but nothing full-blown and disablin...

LOL Just wondering if we should be worried? It's gotten progressively worse over the years. Sometimes she just restates everything. IE: Joe: i saw on tv that they had a new cancer drug. Amy: Oh really? Older Lady: Did you know they had some new ...
I was told by a nurse that IPPB is the step before a ventilator. Does anyone have a source on the internet that says this? I've been looking, and not finding much. Need to have it for a paper Thanks!

Thanks :) I've got my order set (it did change some, and nurses kinda slip flopped a little). I'm going with it, and turning it in. Thanks everyone for your insight.:loveya: Feeling like this guy right here: :sstrs:
Hello! I'd appreciate all the input i can get on this. I apologize now because I'm sure this will be kind of lengthy. Ok, i have a staffing assignment for a management class. Last semester, i really want to pass, but i need some help. The assign...

Thanks everyone for your input :). I thought if i could get someone who has experience to give me some pointers, it would help, and it has. I've been working on this assignment all day. Your Right. How am i to know the strengths/limits of those ...

I hope this does not come off as rude, as it is not my intention. I'm not asking anyone to do my homework. There are several more extensive parts to this assignment that i did not include (about 7 other sections of work requiring quite a bit of wri...
I've got an 'staffing assignment' that I'm working on for school (nurse management course), and I need a little direction. I've got my job descriptions for nearly everyone in the scenario, but I want to make certain that I do not overstep the bounda...
Hello! I'm in my last semester of RN school, and we recently had a rotation through dialysis. Unfortunately that rotation ultimately ended with nurses making students feel like we weren't wanted there, and some questions were never answered. The que...

My 2 year RN AAS program does not cost even remotely 60K. I would look into financial aid like Pell Grants or scholarships if you went that way. AND I think i would wait a little bit and see if a position opens up in the cheaper program your Mom is...
