I will be graduating in the spring from nursing school and would like to work in Labor and Delivery, or possibly NICU. I am in the market for a new stethoscope and am confused with all the options available. I don't want to spend more than $200, and my current stethoscope is horrible, so anything would be an improvement. Any ideas on what my better options would be? Thanks for your assistance in advanced! Trish

That is a wonderful start thank you, thank you, thank you!! I have struggled with some of my other care plans because I was not getting enough information in my assessment so any other questions that you think might be especially important for a patient with SLE would be greatly appreciated as well so that I can come up with effective care plans!! I really appreciate your expertise!!

Hello all!! I am a first year nursing student in an AD-RN program and my clinical patient for this week is a 20 year old female who diagnoses include SLE and UTI. She also recently had a miscarriage. I have been having trouble narrowing down the questions I should ask my patient's regarding their functional health patterns, and have got the basics down, but I was wondering if any of you had any ideas on what specifically I could ask this client that would pertain to her diagnoses as related to the cognitive-perceptual, Activity-exercise, and health perception- health management pattern as these are the ones my instructor wants me to focus on. Any suggestions you could provide would be apprecaited!! Thanks in advanced.
