I have looked all over the board about care plans and I find everything BUT the one thing I am looking for. It seems most care plans involve Maslow but mine does not, it involves OREM. I really have no idea where blood pressure, temperature, and puls...

Hi everyone. So I am a nursing student taking patient education and we were given the following scenario - Basically there is an 18 year old male who has HIV, he admits to the nurse that he is intimate with his girlfriend but that she does not know h...

I dont think cucu got upset by your comment at all....her response was not even rude.

Hi everyone.....so right now I am a nursing student and i am not very happy with my school right now. A lot of students aren't. We pay so much money and the school is so disorganized, the teachers are rude, and I find myself dreading every day I have...

Dafreak, I do tend to ramble when I am emotional or feel strong about an issue...lol. It is hard to say exactly what you mean when typing. It is a lot easier through words. :) As for the last minute thing - it was not last minute. This care plan ha...

Thank you Daytonite, you are so nice! :)

Hi everyone. I have a test this week. I received an A on my first test but a D on my second one. I am so scared I am not going to pass this class. For me, this class is the hardest one I have ever taken. My test is on Antimicrobial Therapy and Drugs ...

If you don't mind me asking or if this isn't too personal, why were you dropped? I have never heard of any program doing that unless the student is below the GPA that they want and has failed more than one class or has received lots of C's. My school...

Hi everyone! So a friend of mine is about to give birth and a couple weeks ago her doctor said she might not be able to give birth naturally because her bones were narrow. I have never heard of this and because of the doctor's past behavior with hav...

In my first clinical rotation, without any warning whatsoever, i was given a C.diff patient. I was also given patients with MRSA too. They had told us about standard precautions but had never mentioned we would be thrown right on a floor with patient...

Daytonite and TLC.....I just wanted to thank you both for caring and trying to help me. I really do appreciate it so much! Daytonite, you reminded me of a sheet I had on OREM from last semester. I am going to try and dig it up and hopefully I still h...

We did receive a handout for the nursing diagnosis which uses the issue of constipation to explain each one. So it says NANDA: constipation related to prolonged immobility as manifested by decreased frequency of stools, lack of appetite, c/o headache...

Hi, I saw one of your posts saying you like to help us students so I am hoping that you are around and can help me. :) From what I have looked through, I get the feeling my school goes WAY INTO DEPTH with their care plan. I need to put all the Univ...

Thank you again! I honestly feel inducing her now is too soon (she said she just turned 40 weeks yesterday) but I don't know if the 40 week estimate is completely accurate. I think they are more of going by the fact the baby is 7lbs 9 oz. and they f...

To TIAKAY ON PAGE 3: I totally agree hun! Being a full-time nursing student and a mom is a lot harder than people realize because you basically feel like your putting your kids last. It's a horrible feeling. I think when some of the ones who are ve...

I would love to be able to say "No wonder why people get such a bad impression of women and men call women ******* - the constant gossiping, talking behind each other's backs, getting mad when someone receives an A who deserves it, girls immediately ...

The nursing students in my school are unbelievably competitive. In fact, some of the girls actually get mad if you do better than them, it's insane. (I understand getting mad in some instances but getting mad at someone for getting an A when they des...

Thank you for the responses! Yes, I agree...the dumbing it down didn't help matters and it wasn't in a way that even made much sense either. I told my friend that once she starts to dilate that everything will change in that region (just like you sa...

I am taking Pharmacology right now and it is the hardest class I have ever taken in my life. I honestly feel Patho is easier. I did okay on the first test, but the second one I did the worst I've ever done on a test. The problem for us is our instruc...

I posted this below for Daytonite but anyone can respond so I thought I'd post it again so everyone knew that. Hi everyone! I really need some advice about my care plan. From what I have looked through, I get the feeling my school goes WAY INTO DEPT...

Hello all. Hope your weekend is going well, I can't believe it was snowing in March! :) Here is my dilemma... Tonight I have registeration at midnight. There are two clinical classes to choose from. One is at St. Joe's in Joliet and the other is at A...

In response to: "That is the thing that torques me even more, this baby is on Medicare! " "I like the idea of telling the mom that we will find a foster home until she is able to care for her baby. The social worker thinks mom has PPD, because she i...
