  1. Did I get "too excited" too soon?

    guest042302019 replied to treeye's topic in General Nursing

    I would say go with your gut instincts. Your intuition. If you feel you need to assess your patient more often, say q2h VS as opposed to q4h, do it. Maybe your preceptor has previous knowledge of this...

  2. What is the answer to this question!?

    guest042302019 replied to panduhlove's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I don't know people keep commenting on 30mL/hour. There is no objective, measurable information, or known amount. All it says is "not much." Not much to you or me or other people could be 50mL or...

  3. Does volunteering at a hospital help?

    guest042302019 replied to DarkLotus's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    Volunteering always helps. It shows you care for community and those who live in it among many other desirable qualities. We live in a money driven world. When someone is willing to spend time for...

  5. Careplan Help!

    guest042302019 replied to ilearntoo's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Well, you said yourself again, "wants to learn ways to distract herself." I believe that sounds like readiness to me. You see, you've got it. It's in there! :) You could check into readiness for...

  6. Help! Hypotension care plan!

    guest042302019 replied to rademily's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I just wanted to elaborate on the previous post's discussion on the O2 saturation and low BP. There are situations when a person may have low O2 saturation because of low BP. For instance, a person...

  7. Careplan Help!

    guest042302019 replied to ilearntoo's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    You said it yourself, " I just want my pt. to be able to cope with her depressive mood." Try to turn that into a goal. I see two key words here. Coping and depression. Patient will use effective...

  8. How much anatomy do CNAs need to know?

    guest042302019 replied to aaron_j_sutter's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm an RN student as well as I tutor A&P. There are two separate classes for general A&P 1 and 2 as well as Human A&P usually designated for CNAs and LPNs at my college. The Human A&P...

  9. What is the answer to this question!?

    guest042302019 replied to panduhlove's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    There's really not much information there. I think there are people that are "reading" into this questions too much. We don't know an exact amount of urine just "not much." I would say immediately get...

  10. Microbiology and Chemistry this Summer

    guest042302019 replied to Guest557635's topic in General Students

    I don't know if you'll find much of that here. I would your best bet would be Google. You'll have to sift through a lot of garbage sites but you may find someone. Some colleges have downloadable...

  11. Struggling in Clinical

    guest042302019 replied to exoticstar14's topic in General Students

    Do you have any prior clinical experience or is this your first time ever in the hospital? If this is your first time, after this semester, try to get a job in the hospital or volunteer. You may find...

  12. Taking first Psych exam, Any Advice?

    guest042302019 replied to thawk28's topic in General Students

    This is a tough one. Have you had this teacher before? Some programs switch teachers based off of specialty. If so, you've had experience with their testing style. But, I would say study it like any...

  13. A&P thread suggestion for Site Admin

    guest042302019 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've been sifting around this site for 2-3 years now. I came here when I was just beginning my quest to nursing. I remember looking for A&P tips when I first started A&P 1. I found some here...

  15. A&P lab test

    guest042302019 replied to MsFutureNurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well first, you could go to your instructors and simply ask, "What do should I expect on the lab practical?" Ask if there will be only paper diagrams, or actual bones. I'll tell you what I...

  17. Are there any a&p tutors, or study buddies on this forum?

    guest042302019 replied to MsFutureNurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    All of the above suggestions are exactly what I would say to you. When is the last time you sat down and talked with your professor? Maybe you can set up a session with him or her and determine where...

  18. A&P....love it or hate it?

    guest042302019 replied to snow_bear's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Pathophysiology is twice as cool I think. You get a tiny review of the big concepts and normal A&P and then delve into the disease process. It's much more interesting though when you get patients...

    guest042302019 replied to guest042302019's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You're in a tough situation. I've had an instructor that didn't write the book but he sounds similar to yours. Brilliant mind but can't explain the concepts in a coherent way which loses people. We...

    guest042302019 replied to guest042302019's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Learning how to study is a big one. There are sooo many methods and finding your niche' that works in A&P is tough. What worked for you previously doesn't necessarily work in A&P. I see you...
