  9. Prioritizing Nursing Dx's

    brokenroads27 replied to aphillipi's topic in General Students

    this is what i think: 1. acute pain for sure (remember pain is the fifth vital sign) 2. impaired tissue integrity the psych dx would be close to the last that you would look at because you need to...

  13. How did I get an A in med/surg and a C in OB??

    brokenroads27 replied to inProgress's topic in General Students

    haha you're welcome! i try to think of it that way when we're dealing with anything other than psych nursing

  15. prioritizing nursing Dx

    brokenroads27 replied to mom2emcal's topic in General Students

    it would definitely be impaired gas exchange because airway is the first priority, then breathing, and circulation (ABC). the psychological nursing diagnoses are last because you have to try to fix...

    brokenroads27 replied to sarahsmile44's topic in General Students

    brokenroads27 posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  18. Where did my Motivation go?

    brokenroads27 replied to MystyqueOne's topic in General Students

    i think the accelerated part of this is that it IS 2 1/2 years long. its probably this person's first degree (i'm guessing) which would mean that usually a BSN would be 4 years long. im just guessing...

    brokenroads27 replied to yesitslaura's topic in General Students

    when i looked at the question & answers, my first answer would have definitely been #3. but if i looked at it too long i would've been thinking the same way you did, like don't all patients need...

    brokenroads27 replied to noyesno's topic in General Students

  22. difficult fellow students

    brokenroads27 replied to kylifesaver1's topic in General Students
