    What kinda watch....

    DolceVita replied to nursingstudent221's topic in General Students

    Actually am going to start using a fob watch because I do not have time to bumble about taking off my watch to wash my hands. Then when I put it back on my wrist, if my skin isn't bone dry, the skin...

    NCLEX Question Rationale

    DolceVita replied to metal_m0nk's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    We had this same question on an exam in class. Many people thought the same as you and chose other options. When doing these questions you need to develop a little voice that says "and how are you...

    I Need Help to Prevent from Crying

    DolceVita replied to dcgrrl's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    If this is a recent thing you should consider if you are a bit over stressed or depressed. If not recent, I really think you are completely correct in addressing this -- at least for how you are in a...

    Frustrated about clinicals-- how to make more of my time

    DolceVita replied to anon456's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Wow! We do not follow nurses. In our first clinical we followed a nurse for one shift and never again. We are given our patient assignments and off we go. Get report, do care & meds etc. then...

    DolceVita posted a topic in General Students

    I am so used to reading crazy amounts that my brain cannot get used to so little input. Thank goodness I am registered for summer school. Anyone else have this

    is this a case of Lazy RN, OR Over productive CNA??

    DolceVita replied to josebeltran88's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Who me? If so, no. So steady on. It was my tongue in cheek way of saying someone other than a student

    What do you wish you knew before you got into nursing?

    DolceVita replied to Tt66's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Don't think it is only men who find it hard working with women. I no more want the details of someone's menstrual cycle and diet plan than I wish to stick needles in my eyes. Also, the...

    is this a case of Lazy RN, OR Over productive CNA??

    DolceVita replied to josebeltran88's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    What you are doing sounds OK to me but I am just a student. It is important to know if a pt vomits as it could be a sign of medication toxicity or something else. If you are in a psych ward they may...

    Odds of being employed as a gay CNA?

    DolceVita replied to camci's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Well the Pollyanna in me says you should not have more trouble but who knows what weird prejudices people secretly harbor. It should not impact you getting into nursing school. I think regardless of...

    writing a care plan for a dementia pt

    DolceVita replied to zoemobbs's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    When you say nursing activities are they the same as our nursing interventions? Also, is that all of the assessment data? No indication of what stage of Alz? Type of heart valve? Do they really...

    student loans...

    DolceVita replied to sellers87's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Honestly. I mean no disrespect but I think you should call your local community college and make an appointment with someone who deals with student finance. It seems a bit ill-advised to take advice...

    DolceVita replied to passionbird's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I would appeal. I am sorry for what you are going through with your illness. Has no one suggested to you that you take a break from school until you are better able to deal with classes? Surely...

    Alternative to BSN Bachelor degrees

    DolceVita replied to ekgoodwi's topic in General Students

    Yep what Moogie said. Apparently my existing BSc in Microb is considered worthless to the nursing profession. So unless I do a BSN I will be treated as someone with no more education than an

    Taking Blood Pressure

    DolceVita replied to sunkissed75's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I do as well because I can always find it versus the brachial. I think it doesn't give a lot of confidence to a pt when you are messing about trying to locate there brachial artery. What is...
