  1. I dont think that our hopsital has a standing protocol for K replacement, but at the hospital where I precepted we had a standing k/mag replacement depending on the patient's lytes. 3.2 and 3.1 seems low. Are the patient's symptomatic? I'd probally d...
  2. Core Curriculum in Orthopaedic Nursing

    I thought you could get the book directly from the NAON?
  3. IV Toradol and Snack?

    I know with PO NSAIDS we should give them with a snack to decrease the risk of the patient getting an upset stomach/GI bleed; however, do we need to give a snack with IV Toradol? I know we bypass the GI tract with IV meds, but its mainly blocking the...
  4. PRN narcotics for patients who cant request it?

    Why isn't this Pt getting ATC PO pain meds? Giving morphine q every hour anit going to help with long term pain relief.
  5. OP's story and subsequent posts makes me think he is a total....I am sure you got some things you can improve upon as well...maybe start going to the gym yourself?
  6. Fourth attempt, failed! But still thankful!

    How about you try kaplan?
  7. Disabling feeling of failure- please help!

    Its extremely difficult to give patients like that bed baths without assistance especially if they are combative, demented, etc. like in your case.
  8. Male RNs, What Areas of Nursing Are Looking for Them?

    I see males RNs on every unit maybe besides L&D, postpartum, antepartum..even then I am sure they exist.
  9. renal perfusion question

    Perfusion = blood flow. Dopamine, as I recall, in low dosages is supposed to increase blood flow to the kidneys via vasodilation of the arteries supplying the kidneys. To answer your second question, the dopamine that is used in renal patients doesn'...
  10. Priority Nursing Diagnosis

    It's always ABCs so I'd pick the nursing dx related to airway, breathing, or circulation.
  11. worried about dissection

    Seriously cats? I don't see why your school can't get some cavadars. Dissecting is terrible...the worst part is removing all of the fat...it takes forever...then some ppl ruin it by removing things they anit supposed to.
  12. Surviving OB

    It's acutallyy not so bad...I can see why so many ladies wnna do obgyn
  13. the "mean girls" of nursing school

    Actually, you can use any degree to apply to med school--may it be psychology, english, or the typical biology major--all you need to do is complete the pre-reqs, which are basically the foundation of science classes that pretty much everyone takes t...
  14. A future nurse...in need of advice....!!!

    You graduated cum laude with a 3.0?
  15. The "Why don't you go to Med School" Question

    Cool dude. Most people never ask that to me and the people who do are usually in a non-medical field. FYI, its OD for optometry and they don't go to med school, they go grad school for optometry, like pharmacy, OTD, etc. :)
  16. Vital Sign Skills Test

    You just got to keep practicing it. Its really hard to distinguish the artifact sounds in the beginning, but after a while, you'll hear it...its super loud. Some people go by when the needle starts moving back and forth, but that doesnt always work.
  17. how far ahead should I get?

    Do all of it..it'll be super easy when you review during school

    www20.csueastbay.edu/concord/files/docs/BSPreNursing.pdf You can search the classes for last fall, winter, spring to get a better idea of the class times. It's probably the same every year or close to it. This thing is also pretty helpful because it ...
  19. CSU East Bay Fall 2011 Applicants

    http://www.rn.ca.gov/schools/passrates.shtml I think this will answer your question :)
  20. Am I nursing school material??

    Why dont you just go for your BSN instead of a entry levels masters program. Seems like a waste of time getting a degree in biology if you aren't a pre-med student or if you aren't going to get a advanced degree in bio.
  21. Cal State East Bay acceptance letters for Fall 2010??

    No, no one really mentioned anything about the modules at the concord orientation.
  22. anybody going to DVC in pleasant hill? any advice

    You won't be able to get into anatomy, physio, or micro. I'd get rid of chem 108 early so you can start 109 the following the semester. If I were you, I'd get rid of the all of the easy non-science pre-reqs as most of those also meet the GE requireme...
  23. Do you still hold doors for women?

    I would feel like a douche if I didn't hold the door and there was someone behind me
  24. Dating classmates?

    ^lucky
