  1. Please, Any advice or opinion is helpful!

    Suethestudent replied to guy with a dream's topic in General Nursing

    I have never heard of a 15 hour shift, but I have had friends do two back-to-back 8s (i.e..straight through) thus effectively a 16 and it is a KILLER. I think what is important to learn is how much...

  2. prioritizing

    Suethestudent replied to stellatina1988's topic in General Students

    Fluid and nutrition are Maslow priority 1 because they are physiological needs. Risk for falls is 'safety' which is Maslow level 2 so technically it should be fluid, nutrition and risk for falls....

  3. help needed with my first nursing diagnosis

    Suethestudent replied to mydestinyy's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  4. Anyone ever been denied life insurance???

    Suethestudent replied to luvmy2angels's topic in General Nursing

    Sometimes a high PSA result will preclude you. However be aware that this test is NOTORIOUSLY unreliable and so please research the test before you jump to possible conclusions and stress out over...

  5. Is it the time for Nursing School?

    Suethestudent replied to glitterMind's topic in General Nursing

    I would not spend $50k on a non accredited program period, but then I wouldn't spend $50k on an accredited one right now. There are cheaper ways to become an RN. The last thing you want is a non...

  6. having to tell your manager you're quitting....the good, bad, and ugly

    Suethestudent replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in General Nursing

    Nice post Kayern.. I read on this site a while back that sometimes when you jump the fence because the grass is greener, you can step in a big steaming pile of the stuff that makes it that

  7. having to tell your manager you're quitting....the good, bad, and ugly

    Suethestudent replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in General Nursing

    My viewpoint is that they will fire you in a heartbeat and continue to eat their sandwich. You should leave a job when it suits you and stay in one when it suits you. Nothing more or less. It's a...

  9. Dosage Question: Parenteral Drugs w/ Reconstituted solution

    Suethestudent replied to Roxy512's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Mike R is correct Order =125mg (frequency is irrelevant) Available = 2mls containing 1g thus 2mls=1g is an equivalence to use 1g=1000mg is a conversion factor to use to cancel out mgs and gs 125mg x...

  10. Something a nurse said to me at clinicals...

    Suethestudent replied to ohcomeon's topic in General Nursing

  12. SubQ sites

    Suethestudent replied to angelsfire's topic in General Nursing

    I have found it, and you do not have to change her ways. It is in Taylor 6th ed, Fundamentals of Nursing Care, page 794. There is a diagram (fig 29-10) that shows a rear view and the whole back from...

  13. My feet hurt!

    Suethestudent replied to mo54's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Skechers Shape-ups! I do a 12hr and come home and don't even feel the need to take them off. Really really worth the $90. (haven't done a thing to improve the shape of my behind though

  14. Junior nursing student in trouble with clinicals

    Suethestudent replied to FatherOfStudentBS's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am sure that her school wants to hang onto every pupil willing to pay $30k/yr, so if she is failing out of clinicals it is likely because her instructor feels that HER license is in jeopardy. Are...

  15. Help, failing last semester

    Suethestudent replied to Adlib's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Have you tried to analyze the type of questions that you are getting wrong to see if there is a pattern to it? For example if you read questions too fast it is easy to miss the word 'EXCEPT' at the...

  16. Got a job - feeling a lot less bummed now. LOL!

    Suethestudent replied to Irock's topic in General Nursing

    That's awesome news. It is better to work and build a resume than do nothing. I don't think new grads can be picky about where they get their first few years work so kudos for lowering your...

  17. Junior nursing student in trouble with clinicals

    Suethestudent replied to FatherOfStudentBS's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    "We already have 75K sunk into this." If she just started clinicals in Spring of this year, how have you already 'sunk' 75k?. It sounds like you are referring to a company stock that you invested in...

  19. Getting a job after being on maternity leave for many years

    Suethestudent replied to taimayn's topic in General Nursing

    That's because Canada is nice to it's Mom's.... unlike the US. Now go look at Scandinavia, especially Finland and see what a sweeeeet deal SAHMs get over there. I have a friend that has been on full...

  20. Getting a job after being on maternity leave for many years

    Suethestudent replied to taimayn's topic in General Nursing

    You are not on maternity leave... you are a stay-at--home-Mom (SAHM). That is a job, not a hiatus so be proud of it. It's the hardest job in the

  23. Ineffective protection

    Suethestudent replied to Chris189's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I found Ineffective Protection r/t altered clotting function from anticoagulant ( Ackley) but that's it. I would have gone with acute pain, immobility or ineffective tissue perfusion r/t interruption...

  24. Post-exposure prophylaxis making me so sick!

    Suethestudent replied to dancin1415's topic in General Nursing

    Keep going no matter how incapacitated you become. This is not an issue of losing a paycheck. As MaldoniaNP pointed out, you cannot go back in time and retake prophylaxis. These drugs were not...

  25. Physical Assessment

    Suethestudent replied to HappyCat0325's topic in General Students

    Practice practice practice.... you will not learn the assessment skills from a book or by watching a video. You need to get friends, family and fellow students to be your patient and act out a...
