  1. Hanging onto an extremely thin line right now.

  2. Nursing school double standards?

  10. Help with Nursing Diagnosis please

    I don't think you can use c-section or aneurism because they are are medical terms. Also, fear over c-section can be a diagnosis because it is a natural thing to be afraid of surgery so it doesn't...
  11. I am pro-life. I don't believe that anyone has any right over a life because it belongs to itself. With that being said, no one can force their beliefs on you especially in nursing school. You just...

    Your diagnosis needs at least 1-2 more AEB. No nursing diagnosis can be based on one. Your fear diagnosis may been the patients expression of fear in the AEB to make it more
  19. STILL don't have a job?? Vent here!

    I think this is why people need to be aware of the big myth that nursing basically guarantees jobs... the economy is hit hard in all areas of our society. This is just my humble opinion and no...
  20. New Member! Question about new grads getting jobs!!
