hey everyone i graduate may 15 (YEAH!!!!) and we played a few songs for our LPN pinning. Some people think it's cheesy, but i enjoy it. does anyone have any suggestions for songs to play from rn pinning. we've been together for these 2 very long, hard, and exciting years. what are your schools doing???????:balloons:

I'm about to finish a nursing program in ks, not JCCC, but anyways. Relax & be yourself. I was all worked up for my interview and it ended up being okay. I've been interviewing for jobs in the kc area and I made a list out ahead of time of the qualities that i feel like i can bring to a facility. if i were you i would do that for this, that way when they ask you, you may not be as frazzled. be confident in your answers. when they ask if you have any questions i always ask what they like about the program from others in the area, and what they would like to change about the program to benefit it. i do this with jobs now, so this lets them know that you are serious about being in the program and want to be involved. i wish you both a ton of luck. i'm about to be done, it's overwhelming and hard but if you put your mind to it you can do anything. good luck!

Thanks everyone for your advise. I realize remember the ABC's but when you have a vit. k deficiency/hemmorrhage, anemia, & sepsis. Which one should be addressed 1st was the problem. I get so confused with people like this guy, he's got a whole bunch of probs that are all pretty serious. Thanks again.

Hey, I'm new to the site & I love it so bear with me. I have a question about a NCP for school. I'll be graduating in MAY! Here's the situation: 49 y/o male admitted over a week ago with End Stage Liver Disease as well as anemia, cirrhosis, sepsis, ascites, pruritis d/t allergic reaction to Lasix, leukocytosis. He's on fluid restriction of which he was reluctant to comply. His labs were all over the place. This guy had a paracentesis on 02/20 to the RLQ for the ascites. His abd was distended and hard. His stools were tarry w/visible blood present. He had pulled is PICC line out and replaced it the day I was there. I have plenty psychosocial ones to address. We have to have 4 physiologic NCP's and I'm not sure which one to address 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. I have ideas of individual care plans, but which one would be addressed 1st. I don't know whether to focus on the anemia, spepsis, or the ascites. I'm going to thank everyone in advance, I've tryed talking to my instructors. But they don't even want to direct me in the right direction. I'm not asking them to do the care plan, I need help knowing which to address 1st. :)
