I was stressed my first semester and wanted to drop out as well. My grades dropped significantly when I entered nursing school and that discouraged me as well. I am now in my third semester and I am LOVING it. I promise it gets better with time. However, do what YOU want to do, not want others want you to do! Nursing school def. does not get any easier, but once you are clinicals you will realize how rewarding it truly is to be in the nursing profession!!!!!!!!

I am doing a care plan on an infant. My diagnosis is ineffective thermoregulation r/t immature temperature control and transition to extra-uterine environment AEB axillary temperature less than 97.3 F, mottled skin, and skin cool to touch. I have an outcome of..... The mother will be able to demonstrate or verbally state the need for the infant to maintain an body temperature of 97.7 F- 99.5 F within 12 hours of birth.I am struggling with interventions and rationales to go along with this goal. Any help is appreciated!!!!!
