  1. Meningitis..how does your dept handle it?

    enfermeraSG posted a topic in General Nursing

    OK, here is my question. We recently had a pt on L&D very sick with a suspected case of meningitis (just as good as confirmed cases if you ask me!) Anyway, we had her in a reverse airflow room....

  2. SHAVING & WAXING

    enfermeraSG replied to barkley's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think it is much nicer to see someone at least trimmed up down there. It is kinda yucko when the hair is hipbone-to-hipbone, and navel-to-knee! Like one of our docs says, "It's bear country in...

  3. nursing diagnosis

    enfermeraSG replied to Mizzyfrufru's topic in General Nursing

    Other posters have put it very well into layman's terms. I am a nursing student (1st sem) and have been doing 1-2 careplans weekly. At first this was very difficult, but you WILL eventually start to...

  5. ? about giving shots

    enfermeraSG replied to PCGrad06's topic in General Students

    Gotta love those mannequins! In my scenario, I had to give an insulin shot also and I chose the abdomen. Our mannequins have these "sites" that you should aim for because you can really insert the...

  6. ? about giving shots

    enfermeraSG replied to PCGrad06's topic in General Students

    That is the only reason I do not care for the technique that involves spreading your fingers (or finger and thumb apart) like a "V" and giving the injection in the middle of the "V". I am so afraid...

  7. Need advice about making drug cards!!! Please Help me...

    enfermeraSG replied to KibbsRNstudent's topic in General Nursing

    I would also appreciate a sample if you wouldn't mind! I start Pharm next semester and am already trying to plan out my strategy. Thanks,

  8. Tips for studying pharmacology?

    enfermeraSG replied to studentnurse74's topic in General Students

    I went on that website, studystack, how did you make those cards? (My brain feels like jelly this morning! ) Do you click on the make your own stack option, or what? I wasn't sure how to enter stuff...

  9. Tips for studying pharmacology?

    enfermeraSG replied to studentnurse74's topic in General Students

    Just like "oldiebutgoodie" says, I live by flashcards. Pharm is strictly memorization in my opinion. ( Thanks for that website!)

  10. Need bee sting help please!!!

    enfermeraSG replied to FutureNurse2005's topic in General Nursing

    BTW, the bleach trick does work. It takes the pain away and swelling. I even carry the mixture in my camping med/emer. tackle box.

  11. Anyone starting the CCD program in Aug???

    enfermeraSG posted a topic in Colorado Nursing

    Trying to locate any CCD students that are beginning the nursing program this fall, sign in here!

  12. Anyone starting the CCD program in Aug???

    enfermeraSG replied to enfermeraSG's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Susnam, why is the drop out rate so high? Is it because it's so bad there and students do not like it or are they so hard on the students that they are failing and have to go? Jeanylorenz, what did...

  13. Anyone starting the CCD program in Aug???

    enfermeraSG replied to enfermeraSG's topic in Colorado Nursing

    What is your advice to someone starting class Monday?! I can't turn back now, so I guess I'll just tough it out. (?) That is so sad what I am hearing, wish I'd heard it sooner. Like before I...

  14. Titration Math Made Easy???

    enfermeraSG replied to AmyB's topic in General Students

    I agree with the other poster, you have to work practice problems over and over until it is second nature. There is more than one way to solve these types of problems, maybe you need a different way?...

  15. how many classmates dropped in your first semester?

    enfermeraSG replied to allthingsbright's topic in General Students

    I am beginning nursing school in a week or so. ( aaahhhhh!) Anyway, of my friends and coworkers that have graduated in the last few years they had all lost 1/4 to 1/2 of their classmates in the...

  16. Nutrition Pre-req - easy vs hard

    enfermeraSG replied to Deb123j's topic in General Students

    I thought that was a very easy class, but I agree it always depends on the instructor. I don't know if you have the option to take it online, but through ccconline.org, it was cake for myself and...

  17. Pay/Grade differientals for BSN

    enfermeraSG replied to grnbug2000's topic in General Nursing

    Same here in Colorado - no pay difference. The only reason I will still get my BSN is in the event that there may be a job that I want someday that requires it. I would hate to lose out because of a...

  18. comfortable clogs for clinicals???

    enfermeraSG replied to kkbaroness's topic in General Students

    OOOPS! Forgot to mention the best part, thanks Mitchsmom! They are only $30! And, FYI, every nurse that I work with (even the ones who wear Dansko's) knows someone who hurt their ankle, etc on the...

  19. comfortable clogs for clinicals???

    enfermeraSG replied to kkbaroness's topic in General Students

    Let me tell you guys if someone hasn't already mentioned them. (Check first to see what is allowed) Go to the Lands End website, they make some wonderful closed back water resistant, yet suede and...

  20. What to say for FD's.......?

    enfermeraSG posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hi all, I am a nursing student as of this fall, but have been an OB triage tech for several years. The subject of fetal demises is difficult for everyone, often worse the greater the gest. age. When...

  21. What to say for FD's.......?

    enfermeraSG replied to enfermeraSG's topic in Ob/Gyn

    It is nice to see so many of you with great advice for this difficult subject. Thank you to everyone that is sharing their own personal experiences with fetal demise, it is so helpful to everyone...

  22. Help me with my "spider" problem!

    enfermeraSG replied to enfermeraSG's topic in General Nursing

    thank you everyone for all the advice so far. i will probably find some sort of hose to hopefully prevent more vessels from popping up. i have had 3 children, but am slim and fit. i am an athlete...

  24. Placental Accreta

    enfermeraSG replied to July-Moonchild's topic in Ob/Gyn

    If you want to conceive again, my advice would be to seek out a perinatologist for your care. You should be able to have one (as far as ins. is concerned) because of your earlier troubles. I don't...

  25. Any RN's working in the research field???

    enfermeraSG posted a topic in Research

    I am just wondering if any RN's out there could give me some info about their jobs involving research. I have heard of BSN/RN's working in the field of research, but would like to know more about it...
