  1. Competitive Pre-Nursing Students?

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

    This competitive streak is present in many people in my program. It is very obvious that you are being assessed as either a threat, a doofus or just one of the crowd. I actually saw a guy taking a...

  2. Anyone know what happened to the CNL?

    Suethestudent replied to Joe NightingMale's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I personally think that the use of the word 'leader' in the title was the biggest mistake. New grad CNLs come into bedside nursing as a complete newbie and work under RN's that have 400 years...

  3. Should I stay or should I go?

    Suethestudent replied to Miller86's topic in General Nursing

    Miller86... congrats on doing the right thing. Short term you may have hardship but just imagine the lifelong guilt you would carry with you if your lack of experience led to a patient's untimely...

  4. 2 Medical dictionaries, which to choose???

    Suethestudent replied to RPN_2012's topic in General Nursing

    I've got Taber's both book and ebook on my Ipod Touch... the fast find tabs are a nice feature and I know it is regularly updated and has an excellent

  5. The Nursing Math Thread

    Suethestudent replied to Tweety's topic in General Students

    60% of 10oz =9.6oz 45% of 9.6oz= 4.32oz oz to grams conversion = x28 4.32oz=

  6. Dosage Calculation

    Suethestudent replied to brittanyyl's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Ignore the child's weight as the problem does not say PER KG so it is fluff as stated by tcgirl. You are looking to find out how many mls=180mcg 180mcg x 1ml/0.05mg x 1mg/1000mcg Cancel mcg and mg and...

  7. uk resident looking to study in usa

    Suethestudent replied to dollye88's topic in International Nursing

    Sorry... I forgot to add that with GCSE's you will have a huge number of prereqs to complete. You will have to be up to UK 'A' level standard for algebra and english and they will test you on that. If...

  8. uk resident looking to study in usa

    Suethestudent replied to dollye88's topic in International Nursing

    Hi Jade... most colleges have websites that have contact details for their international student counsellors. You sometimes have to search hard for that page, so be tenacious. You may also like to...

  9. International version of books

    Suethestudent replied to MissJessica,RN's topic in General Students

    I bought my Marieb A&P book as an international edition and saved over $100. It was paperback instead of hardback so it's curling a bit but apart from that it had all the same errors in it as the...

  10. Contact Isolation: Do YOU always gown up?

    Suethestudent replied to RNDreamer's topic in General Nursing

    My position on this is that you do not know what has just gone on in that room. Hypothetically,the previous nurse or CNA goes in with gown/gloves and touches the infected patient,and the patient asks...

  11. Quality Compliance

    Suethestudent replied to GreenPolkadot's topic in General Nursing

    Good Lord Zookeeper... I was referring to THE BULLETIN BOARD that is the subject of the discussion not the Board of Nursing. How could you extract that from my post?

  12. Quality Compliance

    Suethestudent replied to GreenPolkadot's topic in General Nursing

    Shocking... but I guess everyone will be of the same mind and treat the stupid board with the disdain it deserves. We all know that bacterial growth rates are influenced by many factors and are not an...

  13. Career Change Blues.

    Suethestudent replied to gymnut's topic in General Nursing

    Great reply 2ndwind... I could not have put it better. Original poster, as a CNA you do not lead... you follow the orders of a licensed or registered nurse and in fact operate under their license so...

  14. Does anyone knows any good OTC anti-fungal foot cream?

    Suethestudent replied to Blackheartednurse's topic in General Nursing

    Perhaps reread your

  15. So Frustrated with school and the admissions. Please help!!

    Suethestudent replied to JC_Smith2009's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That policy sounds ridiculous. People drop courses for many reasons, some personal and some academic but a dropped course should not be taken into consideration in the application process. What if you...

  16. Do you have children?

    Suethestudent replied to Wan2BRN's topic in General Students

    I agree wholeheartedly with JBGC4 above, in that the household chores can be cut down/let go and the world will not stop turning. My house permanently looks like it has been raided by the drug squad,...

  17. Looking for Accelerated BSN - TEAS NOT REQUIRED

    Suethestudent replied to Tina LMT's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My TEAS cost $25 and took less than 2 hours.... one of the easiest tests I have ever faced. Why would you plan your education such that you avoid such a simple task? People are recommending private...

  18. LPN to RN... ask for a raise?

    Suethestudent replied to e.moore30's topic in General Nursing

    Could this be a communication issue? I cannot believe that someone would offer a 25c increase, so by saying 'a quarter' did they perhaps mean a quarter of your hourly pay? You may want to clarify this...

  19. i shouldn't be asking this.

    Suethestudent replied to smartnurse1982's topic in General Nursing

    I believe that if the order stated the dose required, but not the concentration (ie:mass/volume) then the final volume used to administer the dose is irrelevant as long as the dose is correct and the...

  20. Irish Nurse trying to work in USA

    Suethestudent replied to dempz's topic in International Nursing

    Hi, If you look along the top of the home page there is a Region tab which has an international option. If you go in there you may find some useful information. Hope this

  21. Help! Insubordinate Nursing Aides

    Suethestudent replied to yadda_yadda_yadda's topic in General Nursing

    I feel terrible for you, but you CAN leave and make a fresh start where your professional standards are appreciated and commended. I just feel so bad for the poor residents whose last days are going...

  22. IPhone NCLEX apps-any good ones?

    Suethestudent replied to MJB2010's topic in General Nursing

    I use the ATI RN-Mentor... it was $20. I think its good for the

  23. don't burn bridges!

    Suethestudent replied to Schmoo1022's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Oh boy that really stinks. I would hope that working one day would not have burnt you onto her memory, especially if they have a reasonable turnover. Don't raise the issue and hope that her new job...

  24. What standard is most common for nursing assessments?

    Suethestudent replied to ImproveOutcomes's topic in General Nursing

    I'd like to think that that was the case but everything we are being taught right now is a CYA exercise from a legal standpoint, not to adhere to any quality

  25. What standard is most common for nursing assessments?

    Suethestudent replied to ImproveOutcomes's topic in General Nursing

    CBE used to be the most common practice due to time constraints, however due to the increasingly litigious healthcare work environment, met/not met is now the direction that is being advised and...
