No she didn't! While a student was playing poker with a psych patient in a local psych hospital, the student (who happened to be quite the poker player) noticed the patient was cheating. She slapper...
AH! Timing! I was in a group for school that just gave two seminars at the health fair on caregiver role strain!!! I typed in caregiver role strain on Yahoo and Google, and found so much info. I...
Stop it you guys! No need to start fussing at each other. Back to the OP- I am not sure, but I do agree. Read the little book thingie that should have came with the patch. If there isn't one, then...
As a new grad getting ready to go work in an ED, I was told this.... I need ACLS, PALS, and TNCC within one to two years of starting. I am sure there has to be an order to it though.
Abreva. I've been blessed the never have them. Had an ex who got them anytime we went out into sun for a few hours unless he wore a certain kind of medicated Blistex. Stress will def. make them pop up...
Hello! I helped care for a patient this week in clinicals, and she had second degree burns over on her arms and scalp, roughly 6% TBSA. She was involved in a house fire, and was burned trying to save...
Babies should have their first bm soon after birth. If not, it could indicate several disorders, including cystic fibrosis. Has the baby had a bm at all?
1- We're not crucifying you. Stop saying that. 2- I'm glad you've made the decision to grow from this and use this as a learning experience. 3- When you went out with your classmates, and they had...
Ok. I know you have to vent sometimes (a lot of times)! But, I want to know what you favorite part of your job is. Leaving to go home doesn't count! So, share your warm fuzzies about emergency...
Also, our class made up "nursing school survival rules" t-shirts. We sold them for about $3 more each, so we made a small profit. We have clipbaords with oodles and oodles of info that were GIVEN to...
We also did a 50/50 raffle. We have done several bake sales at school functions, as well as in the hospital cafeteria. We've also had a yard sale, and almost had a car wash, but the class was being...
I am currently in nursing school, about to graduate in May (yeah!). My dbf is one year behind me in nursing school. We're talked about a few years down the road (after we have nursing experience),...
Contact drug reps. We jsut finished a huge health fair. My dbf was in charge of the group that was covering glaucome...He managed to get a load of donations from drug reps. Another group did...
I think that's awesome that the school supported the student like that. I live in NC, and to my knowledge, if you have a DUI, you cannot get a nursing license. I am unsure of what happens if you get...
I disagree totally. You're totally lucky you didn't have an accident. You will never again pay inexpensive car insurance. No need to worry about tickets anymore... no drivers license! Better ways to...
Ditto- I am sorry you are going thru this, but it is of your own making. You need to contact your school and the BON ASAP! I wouldn't want to go thru nursing school to find out you cannot sit for...
Need help too. I am hating psych nursing right now. Maybe it's the bad case of senioritis I have. Maybe it's some of the instructors. Either way, I don't like it. I start clinicals next week for...
I agree with others. Speak with the student first, about what you've seen. If you haven't seen it, then don't go by others words. After you've witnessed something, speak to the other student in a...
I have to agree. Although I do not have kids, I am sure I would be scared to death if my child were sick. Parents hear stories of kids having seizures because of fever...if they have no medical...
