Hey there! I am nearing the middle of my last class before completion of my master in nursing administration. I am looking for a CNO that would be willing to do a telephone or E-mail interview with me as a requirement I have for the final project in ...

Interesting! That is how I originally thought the dye would be used... although, in my mentorship program it was drilled into me that we "never" paint... only highlight what is already evident to make it stand out in photos. Do you by chance have any...

I am looking to understand why so much dye is being applied that you need to actively remove it. You are rolling it on over a suspected injury, and not painting it all over, right?

Hey guys! I have an assignment for my Nursing Informatics class where I need to interview a nurse informaticist. It is completely casual, and only consists of two questions. I will post the questions following this paragraph, it would mean so much to...

Hey there! There are printable questions at each link: http://www.lahc.edu/classes/nursing/PRACTICE%20MATH%20FOR%20NURSING%20333.pdf http://www.delta.edu/files/TLC/Math%20for%20Nursing%20and%20Allied%20Health.PDF http://www.laniertech.edu/downloads/N...

What I understood from your post is that you know that you are unsure of yourself sometimes, and that you want to do better. That is the first step forward. It sounds to me like your instructor might just notice that you are unsure of yourself and be...

Hey guys! So I try hard not to post homework on here because I am a strong believer in doing it yourself and learning it the right way etc, etc. But I am totally stuck regarding psychosocial diagnoses in my care plans. I had one due on Thursday, whic...

I came on AllNurses this evening looking for an example of a focus note and found yours to be very helpful. It was one of those light bulb moments for me. So thank you for the example! :)

That is a really good question. I have noticed people doing this as well. I think personally, that being in nursing school is like an honor. When someone asks what you are going to school for, and you respond "I am in nursing school" there is almost ...

Is it really necessary for you to continue to talk through the lecture AFTER the teacher has asked you multiple times to be quiet? For goodness sake... TURN OFF your cell phone... is the text your writing really that important? No. We don't want to s...

In my opinion, something like a nursing pin from graduation is a big deal. It is something that I would spend however much money as necessary on. That pin holds all of your memories from school, and it is a constant reminder of the fact that you did ...

While reading this post, I saw both sides of the situation. As a once very shy student, I can say that I totally understand that being called out in class when it is visible that you are not understanding a subject can be very frustrating (especially...

Unfortunately, yes. I have been a CNA for years, and every facility I have worked at in two different states pushes for their employees to show up for their scheduled shifts, sick or not. There was a time where I had Strep throat and had been given m...

Yes, yes and YES! We have 4 or 5 different instructors, all of which have different views on things and teach things a little differently. They disagree often and a lot of times make it known to the students. It is difficult because each teacher teac...

I took my third exam in Fundamentals today... and for the third time got over 93%, which means another A!! BUT! This time, I got ONE problem wrong!!! 98%, so proud of myself. But, I can not say the rest of the class was proud of me. :yeah:

Hahaha!! Although I am just a student nurse right now, I have worked as a nurses aide in a LTC facility for many years- and it is JUST like this story. I was smiling all the way through. Not because it is a funny matter, but because I have to wonder ...

First, please excuse me if I have posted this is the wrong area, and feel free to correct me! I was not sure where else to post the question, so I am putting it in general discussion for now. I am starting school at Holy Name Hospital School of Nursi...

I 110% agree with ctmed. Being a CNA before going into nursing school does many, many good things for you. A few of those things being introducing you to the work, getting you a head start on patient care, and giving you perspective you will not get ...

Hey Everyone! So I started my RN program this week. We were assigned 12 chapters to read for next week, and there is a workbook section for each chapters, as well as pretests and such for 5 of the assigned chapters as they are math review. Let's jus...

Thank you so much for the help! I'm going to retry the problem tomorrow. I have a question to accompany this topic. I was told by a friend of mine in an RN program in another state that in her case, the instructors want them to know that you move the...

This evening my boyfriend and I were laying on the couch watching TV, and I fell asleep. I rolled around for a good two hours and could not get comfortable, although I slept right through it. At one point I partially remember waking up to ask my boyf...

At one of my previous jobs, there was an aide on day shift that would leave with one specific patient to take them to dialysis, but I am not so sure about whether that was an approved event, or not. The facility I am at now would never ever let that ...

I totally agree as far as the movies go. I used to have to take no-doze pills to keep myself from falling asleep sitting up. I think you will do just fine, although hands on is DEFINITELY more fun than those step by step videos! Good Luck :)

Thank you so much for the responses! I have never dormed before and I really wanted to experience it at least my freshman year, but if no one else does it I suppose that defeats the purpose.
