Just out of curiosity, where in SoCal do you work? How long did it take you to find the job you have? I ask because I'd really like to move out there next year when I finish nursing school to be closer to my husband but I'm REALLY scared it will be impossible to find a job. Thats what I keep hearing anyway. :)

I really can't WAIT until I can say that.... I did google them, it's just hard to find more that really related to the diagnosis. Maybe I'm just over thinking it. I think I got some though. Thank you for your help :) And I agree it's a ridiculous amount of work.

thanks, that actually helps :)

I need ten. My brain is fried... I can't even think anymore. I still have clinical med sheets to do Thanks though.... I'll try

help I need 3 more Interventions & Rationale for altered urinary elimination r/t damage to renal tissue (Renal cancer) And I just cant find/think of any more. I'm struggling. Help me out this is what I have so far: I - Monitor urinary elimination, including consistency, odor, volume and color R - These parameters help determine adequacy of urinary function (Weber, 2005) I - Instruct pt. to drink a minimum of 1500 - 2000 mL of fluids per day R - Increased fluids during the day will increase urinary output and discourage bacterial growth (Weber, 2005) I - Appraise pt. knowledge on effects of renal tissue damage on urinary elimination R - Assessing the clients knowledge will provide a foundation for building a teaching plan based on his present understanding of his condition (Weber, 2005). I - Describe the rational behind management, therapy, and treatment recommendations R - Adequate information about treatment options is important to diminish anxiety, promote compliance, and enhance decision making (Weber, 2005) I - Cleanse perineal are and keep dry R - Perineal care decreases risk of skin irritation, breakdown, and development of ascending infection (Weber, 2005). I - Monitor blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatine, white blood cell (WBC) count, and urinalysis (UA). R - These labratoriy tests reflect renal funtion and can identify complications (Weber, 2005). I - Assess for signs of fluid overload: dyspnea, tachycardia, crackles, distended neck veins, and peripheral edema R - Hydration is used to counterbalance effects of calcium and protein buildup. Overhydration needs to be prevented (Gulanick & Myers, 2011). Thanks

Like I said, I'm not trying to be biased or discriminate against those who are not RNs. I just need to have a little bit of uniformity for data collection. It's not my intent to offend anyone for any reason so I'm sorry if I did.

I will have my prerequisites done in May but I'll be moving to Virginia from Indiana with my husband. Is it difficult to get into a nursing program at a different school after completing prereq's at another school? My GPA is 3.76 right now
