  1. Help with nursing dx, please :)

    TRR8021 replied to sparklie.lady's topic in General Students

    Yeah, it seems like a result of surgery anesthesia and probably narcotics if he's on them (respiratory depression.) Is he using morphine or Dilaudid for

  2. Is this the career of an RN?!

    TRR8021 replied to DGDreamGirl's topic in General Students

    Hi, I'm a student as well and I usually can stomach most things. However, tracheal and nasotracheal suctioning is gross to me, but like others have said, you'll get used to it. I think it's normal...

  3. Baby during NS = bad idea?

    TRR8021 replied to gumby1411's topic in General Students

    While I'm not a mom yet, I would like to have kids but feel that I can't be a student and a mom. I lived with my sister when she first had her baby and when he would wake us up in the middle of the...

  4. Vanderbilt Pre-specialty Fall 2011

    TRR8021 replied to SCNP2B's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hi, I thought the distance program was for the traditional MSN (for those who are already nurses)? Good luck on your application. Vandy is a school that looks good to me too because its program (the...

  5. Care plan project - priority order

    TRR8021 replied to Student2304's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    That's what I'm thinking too: 1. Ineffective breathing 2. Decreased cardiac output 3. Imbalanced nutrition 4. Activity

  6. Rhode Island College School of Nursing-- BSN Program

    TRR8021 replied to RhodyGirl, RN's topic in General Nursing

  7. Med Sheets Help!!

    TRR8021 replied to Brittanymarie's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    That's a good idea. I've never tried that and I'm a senior lol. Someone mentioned the Drug Guide CD and I've never tried that either. I'll have to check it

    TRR8021 replied to silentRN's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, I didn't know that's how it works. Learn something new

  9. TEST TOMORROW!! Need Help Desperately!!! Calculating Flow Rate

    TRR8021 replied to ChrissyLove123's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I also got 84 mL/hr. I used to hate these problems because they can get confusing. Just keep practicing them and you'll get better at it in no

    TRR8021 replied to mevans40's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  11. Nursing care plan....help

    TRR8021 replied to mevans40's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Hi, I don't have a nursing Dx book in front of me but off the top of my head I'd say: 1.) Acute pain; subjective will be whatever the pt says, my back hurts, my legs hurt, whatever. Objective would...

  12. Oxygenation vs Ventilation

    TRR8021 replied to ARobertson79's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Yeah, I've never heard of separating the diseases like that. Do you mean respiration vs. ventilation? That's how I learned it. When you say oxygenation I think of supplemental oxygen

  13. Got my dream job!

    TRR8021 replied to Dixiecup's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hi, I was curious, are you in a program to receive loan forgiveness like the one from HRSA or some other one? If so, which one do you have? And congrats on your dream

  14. Is Phlebotomy taught in Nursing school?

    TRR8021 replied to amanda1266's topic in General Students

    I was told at my school that the hiring agency will teach phlebotomy and IVs because there's not enough time in the program to teach it. I think it's kind of strange that it's not taught in school....

  15. Nursing School: Officially the Hardest Thing I've Ever Done

    TRR8021 replied to werkinit's topic in General Students

    I find NS to be more stressful as I get closer to the end. Maybe it's because I know I will be an RN soon? Like, I'm going to be someone's nurse!! I've been thinking about the HESI, to work or...

  16. Discouraged by Nurses who hate their job

    TRR8021 replied to Tooimpatient's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with FNPgrad. One of the things that attracted me to nursing was it's versatility and flexibility. If you become unhappy with floor nursing, you can always do something else like FNPgrad...

  17. I Need Help to Prevent from Crying

    TRR8021 replied to dcgrrl's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I actually start to well up when I get upset or I feel like I'm in trouble or did something wrong! I haven't actually cried though. But I noticed that it's not as noticeable to other people so...

  18. Taking Blood Pressure

    TRR8021 replied to sunkissed75's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    DolceVita, that's true, and I try to look confident to the patients so that they won't say "do you know what you're doing?!" haha And yes, no one ever takes my blood pressure the right way either....

  19. Taking Blood Pressure

    TRR8021 replied to sunkissed75's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I use the radial pulse too only because I can't always palpate brachial pulses as well. Both methods are acceptable in my

  20. No waiting list at CCRI

    TRR8021 replied to elisiah's topic in General Nursing

    I'm actually not a student at CCRI lol. I go to RIC, but again, I did a quick search on the website and found this link: https://bannerweb.ccri.edu:9443/pls/DORA/bwckschd.p_disp_dyn_sched Just search...

  21. No waiting list at CCRI

    TRR8021 replied to elisiah's topic in General Nursing

    Well, if she's a new student she will have to fill out an application for admission to the school I would guess. I just did a quick look at their website, Community College of Rhode Island, and...

  23. Moving to Rhode Island

    TRR8021 replied to bonesrn's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, I was actually thinking of moving to NC from RI lol that's funny. But RhodyGirl is right, the job market isn't great. I would definitely secure a job first before you move here. Check out...

  24. No waiting list at CCRI

    TRR8021 replied to elisiah's topic in General Nursing

    I believe there's also programs where you can bypass the BSN and go straight to MSN. They're called RN to MSN programs. That's another option for the

    TRR8021 replied to jkmk's topic in General Students

    Ladies, we don't have to have periods anymore! Just stay on the pill (that's if you don't have medical conditions preventing it.)... But I never thought about leaking on my scrubs before. Wearing...
