Oh no that sucks! Sorry for everyone that applied for nicu =(.

Can't think of a BP/P NANDA for you... But have you considered Risk for peripheral neurovascular dysfunction (Right Lower Extremity) Risk for impaired skin integrity You can figure out the related to's...

You should look into getting your DUI expunged. Then when you apply for jobs you don't have to disclose it on your application. (Unless it's a government job.) As far as the nclex, just don't get anymore misdemeanors and you'll probably be fine. No one can really say for sure.

To me it sounded as though he/she needed to prioritize interventions on his/her care plan. (When else does a student need to prioritize interventions?) Sure an MD or DO needs to order the med but the nurse administers it and can hold it at his/her discretion. (A nurse should hold the anticoag if the aPTT, INR, or PT is too high.) Ankle pumps, SCD's, and early ambulation are good nursing interventions that prevent DVT's; but they target only 1 part of Virchows Triad (Venous Stasis). If I could only choose two interventions I would pick an anticoag (interferes with the clotting cascade), and SCD's or ankle pumps (Venous Stasis). Hitting TWO parts of virchows triad instead of just one isn't a bad idea. But again, that's only if your instructor allows meds as interventions on your care plan.

My school allows meds on care plans. If they didn't then I'd pick SCD's then Ankle pumps 10x every awake hour.

We can agree to disagree, but administering medications is a pretty big part of nursing. Out of curiosity, what did you mean by "proper nutrition" and what exactly does that have to do with virchows triad/DVT prevention?

Which nursing program is this?

If only two options? I would pick Lovenox (Or whatever anticoag ur hospital uses) and SCD's/TED hose

Most RN programs only look at your pre-requisite gpa. You should go for it mang! I thought that forgiveness means that they will take those F grades off your transcript? So if those bad grades aren't on your transcript anymore then how will the healthcare departments even know about them?

It doesn't sound like she was trying to insult you. She just seems ignorant. Why don't you use some of your nursing teaching skills so she has a better understanding of what your job entails and why RN's are paid more.

Hey babied who is your neighbor? I might know her!

Is WSU the only college you applied to? Btw, there's no nursing shortage.

Wow they dropped the class size to 35? What was it before?

I'm in the program at Chaffey and yes... It is true. Kennedy's mommy I would go to RCC!!
