  2. Need A Good Bag For School????

  3. Attention OR Nurses

  7. Great job opportunity.. not sure what to do though?? Help pls?

    I guess it would depend on how flexible the hours are. I work about 24 hours a week 7p-7a and I'm taking about 24 hours. Honestly, that is LOT for me to work as a parent too but I make it work. I'd...
  8. Need Help Passing the NCLEX!

    The NCLEx forum would be your best bet. Sounds to me that you need to determine what areas you are weak in and study in those areas. If you are weak in "nursing process" you need to focus on that...
  9. I Need Help With My Pharmacology Exam!

    For me, the nurse's drug guide is my BFF when studying pharm. I also study in drug groups and memorize/learn them that way. Our teacher gives us about 15-20 chapters per test too and for me it is...
  10. hi can you please give me your opinon on my nursing essay

    You wrote from the heart and that is ok. Without knowing what the actual assignment is, it is hard for me to say you were successful in your writing. You do have quite a bit of tense shift, run on...
  11. Attrition rate

    I have no clue what our rate is but I know that we started with 150 and we are down to about 135. One of my very bright friends semi-dropped this past semester because her father died suddenly. She...
  12. Time of the month in light colored scrubs

    I just wanted to add my 2 cents..... if you do find that you have leaked a little you can pour peroxide on the blood and it will practically disappear. Yes, that leaves a damp/wet area on your pants...
  13. UAH acceptance?

    Very good!!! I know you are excited. If you need help with anything, questions, whatever, let me know. Oh, and do whatever you can to make SURE you get Bianchi for patho. I repeat, make SURE you...
  14. Which intervention cannot be delegated to the unlicensed nursing assistant?

    I'm guessing 3 because I'm working as a unlicensed tech and I can do the other two. I've never been in a position to do the 3rd option but I have no rationale for not being able to do that....
  15. Tips for Respiratory???

    Oh, meant to add that I'm not as good at explaining compensated and uncompensated but I can try that another time if you need that too. I'm just SPENT tonight and need to refuel my brain cells.
  16. Tips for Respiratory???

  17. See if you can make heads or tails of this one..... An elderly client arrives in the clinical complaining of dyspnea, weigh gain, chest pain, and increasing edema of the lower extremities. The...
  18. Stressing Out!

    First of all...... BREATHE in, breathe out.... now repeat. Did you get your results that show the areas you are weak on? On my first HESI I found that I was weak on psych stuff and something else I...
  19. Clinicals... feeling kind of dumb.

    No. I am perfect. I never make mistakes and I am never wrong about anything. and if you believe that, I have a beach house in Arizona I'll sell ya. Try not to beat yourself up. We all have...

    Congrats on graduation!!! Both of my sisters-in-law are nurse practitioners and I have several friends that have CRNP and other advanced nursing degrees. When I mentioned that I'd like to go for an...
  21. what does this sign mean?

    It looks like a percentage sign to me. Some people just use dots instead of little circles and it might just have a slightly misplaced left dot. Clear as mud?
  22. I realize that you are a recent graduate of a great RN program and you are flying high and feeling pretty proud of yourself. I am hoping to have those same feelings a year from now when I have my...
  23. Can someone please help me answer this question?

    Stop the presses!!!!! The correct answer IS D. We originally heard from a GTA that the answer was B but after talking to the teacher and another really good clinical teacher the answer is D. The...
  24. You walk into a pt room & they are not breathing, whats the 1st thing...

    Every facility is different but I would advise you to look at your assigned patient's chart right when you come onto the floor to see if he/she is DNR. As a student, all you are really qualified to...
  25. To the RN I just had hospital orientation with today....
