  1. Nursey things that you'll NEVER say again.

    Teacher First replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately I have had the "privilige" of incurring several surgeries from appendectomy to mastectomy (and more.) I have experienced many things that just validate the way I have treated patients...

  2. help with an assignment

    Teacher First replied to aflac381's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know where you are in regard to level of student experience, however, I can promise that this patient has a number of problems just by virtue of the little you have described. The first thing...

  3. RN-MSN, and then NP-post cert, or?

    Teacher First replied to Leanne62499's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Just a thought. I earned my MS many years ago. I could have taken the NP route at that time, but didn't think I would use it. It took 36 semester hours to complete the MS. Fast forward 30 years, I...

  4. kind of a personal question but....

    Teacher First replied to Jay2daq's topic in General Nursing

    I totally agree with cmonkey! Check out Dave Ramsey's website, and do not go into debt while trying to get out of debt, that is just

  5. Please help ...LPN

    Teacher First replied to step_in_future's topic in General Nursing

    By "tech school" do you mean a proprietary school (not affiliated with a college?) I may be biased, but I would suggest you investigate a program at a community college if possible. Most...

  6. advice from Mom's working overnights

    Teacher First replied to colleennurse's topic in General Nursing

    Make sure you have child care of some kind arranged so that you can get adequate sleep while your child remains safe. No matter how you think you will be able to stay awake while child is awake, you...

  7. Student Resources: Nursing Math

    Teacher First replied to VickyRN's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  8. Student wants advice about professor from Nurse Educatiors

    Teacher First replied to GoodyNurse2b's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I agree with the other teachers who have posted. There are many ways to approach this issue. Taping is a good idea, especially with her talking fast! We have a lot to say and so little time! Also,...

  9. Need help passing certification exam

    Teacher First replied to valdosta9's topic in Advanced Practice

    Have you taken a review

  10. OMG...AANP Certification Sample Questions are horrible

    Teacher First replied to Sheri FNP-C's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Did you pass? I am curious because I had problems with those questions, and the one about the young man with strep/mono symptoms. The symptoms they list could go with a diagnosis of either! Very...

  11. Dilaudid question - Personal Opinion

    Teacher First replied to MayLady's topic in Patient Medications

    Pain is subjective. I, too, am one of the people who have a "different" way of handling pain for myself. First off, I don't like the effects of morphine or demerol, and Toradol works much better for...

  12. If you were in NP school again, what would you do different?

    Teacher First replied to NPs4health's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I wish I could have gone a little slower. I am in my mid fifties and can't go too slow or there won't be much time to practice! Ha! But really....I already have my MS and took the post-Master's cert....

    Teacher First replied to want2banurse09's topic in General Nursing

    LVNs and LPNs are the same, just different names in different states. The state nursing practice act in most states determine the scope of practice for VN/PNs, but they are the

  14. Should I go for LVN or RN

    Teacher First replied to want2banurse09's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that you can see if your credit hours will transfer to an associate degree program at a community college as most do not require chemistry. If that is not an option, then I agree with...
