  1. I was yelled at by my nurse yesterday

    guest042302019 replied to EllieBean13's topic in General Students

    Can almost never ask too many or stupid questions. Even the simplist tasks can be daunting once in the moment. This person isn't a good match or teacher, or she had a bad day. Good

  4. Help! Sepsis care plan, patient died, not enough data

    guest042302019 replied to ER(notso)n00b's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Another suggestion if I may. I'm sure you've been told this, but I figure I would say something. Try to avoid using euphemisms (word substitution) for death. I know what you meant by "expired" but if...

  5. how can i study for the psychiatric class?

    guest042302019 replied to chariot's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I've had similar issues with psych. If you did well in one subject with a particular method, the same method may not be useful or beneficial to you in another subject. Change up your studying routine....

  6. I need help with a lab question

    guest042302019 replied to caringtolearn's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I don't know if I would think Hgb is the "most" important. They really go hand in hand. Each is a puzzle piece of the lab value picure. Lame metaphor. Good luck.

    guest042302019 replied to ADAngel's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    guest042302019 replied to Aimee2013's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Hematocrit definition: The ratio of red blood cells to the total volume of blood. You could think of blood as a liquid with a lot of "stuff" in it. Or, RBC/total blood volume. Hence, hematocrit is...

  9. Books to help first semester studies.

    guest042302019 replied to Mama_Cashew's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    There is an infinite number of books out there! You could start reading the ones the program requires you to have. Believe me, you'll have plenty of material to keep you busy. But, I have an NCLEX...

  10. Medical Terminology & lab Values

    guest042302019 replied to 2bnurseofchrist's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'd recommend making your own. It's beneficial in the learning process by simply more exposure. Try to start recognize common lab values like CBC or BMP. Those are taken all the time. Start a list and...

  11. NANDA Issues and goal, not sure which one fits???

    guest042302019 replied to bellie04's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Before I read the above post, I thought the same. I guess what comes to mind is developmental milestones. What has your patient met or hasn't met would be my consideration. What type of play does a 4...

  15. Nursing interventions for medical marijuana

    guest042302019 replied to Karolyte's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    First, ask them who is their health care provider and address because you need a prescription yourself for the stress in nursing school. I agree with above. Although, is it Marinol as mentioned above...

  16. My care plan on flash drive is lost!

    guest042302019 replied to flowergirl4's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I definitely agree with having back-ups. I remember this quote from "G.I. Jane." You know, navy seal movie with Demi Moore. Anyway, remember this, "2 is 1. 1 is none." Basically, having 1 of something...

  17. Realistic time frames for goals... help!

    guest042302019 replied to BiohazardBetty's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I like to think that reasonable time frames comes with experience. As we know, each patient is different. Hence, we memorize ranges and not necessarily exact amounts. I don't think the books really go...

  18. Child with MRSA Careplan Goal help

    guest042302019 replied to jenn_624's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    That's a pretty long diagnoses. Are your instructors requiring the 3 part statement with the "As evidenced by" or you are a thorough person. Either way, if I were in your shoes, you could consult your...

  19. Free Hesi Guides (Legit)

    guest042302019 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've noticed it is difficult to find decent Hesi A2 information on the web. And, I've heard poor reviews of the "Secrets of the Hesi A2" guide. It's unfortunate that finding movies still in the...

  22. Hesi A2

    guest042302019 replied to escapebigd's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    It varies by school, the grading that is. You can't look at a HESI score like a typical test. The instructors tailor a test to their program's need and therefore, you can never really know the true...
