Patients are often placed on protonix or a med in its class to help prevent GERD issues due to the stress and medications they may get. Therefore, if pt has no history of GERD it is a prophylactic drug. Depending on when the patient had surgery and how they are doing hemodynamically will determine the reason for the IV fluids.

My ultimate desired areas are the NICU, PICU, or Pediatrics. I have a passion for working with sick babies and/or children!

It takes me about 20 minutes to get to school. The drive for clinical takes me anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour depending on where I am scheduled.

I will be entering my last semester this fall at Lakeview College of Nursing.

Hi there! I just wanted to say congrats for being accepted into the program. I attend Lakeview as well, however, I am at the Charleston campus. I will be in my final semester this fall!!! The program is great, although difficult at times. The biggest piece of advice I have to give you both is DON"T GIVE UP! I won't lie to you...there are times you will feel that you can't do it...but you can! I feel the first semester is the hardest because you are just getting used to nursing school, the NCLEX type tests, and the course load but I promise you that it gets better. If you have any questions you can always PM me...I am more than happy to answer any questions you may have. Again, Congrats and good luck!

I will graduate December 15, 2012 with my BSN!

I absolutely loved my Psych rotation! To be honest, I was absolutely petrified when I first started because I had know idea what I would be dealing with in clinical, but my first couple of times on the units totally put me at ease. The hospital that I did my clinical at had 3 different psych units...adult, adult intensive, and adolescent. Of course, my favorite was the adolescent unit. We didn't do much patient care except basics like vitals and once my fellow classmate and I gave a wheelchair bound client a bed bath because he needed it greatly( both my classmate and I were very nervous at first because he was on the intensive unit and had no idea what we were about to encounter, but he actually was a very nice guy!) I learned a lot from this class and have given thought to it being a possible area to work in once I graduate.

Yay! I have one week as well! I am so ready for this semester and I have a feeling it is going to be my best semester yet!

I am getting ready to start my 3rd semester and would really like to work in L&D, NICU, or Peds! I have always wanted to do this since I was a child. Of course if I have to start off on the Adult unit that is just fine!

We have to have a 77 at our school and of course there is no rounding here either.

It is my 3rd semester! Monday: Med/Surg Clinical 6am-12:15 Tuesday: OB Lecture 8am-11am Med/Surg Lecture 1:30pm-4:30pm Thursday: OB Clinical 1pm-7pm Online: Nursing Research

We have navy blue pants and a white polo with our school emblem embroidered on the left side of the chest. I could do without the white, but I am glad that we don't have white pants like I have seen a lot of schools have.

I have to drive 25 minutes to campus 4 days a week, and two days a week I have to drive 45 minutes to clinicals. I hate having to drive so far, but the experience (especially for clinicals) is well worth it. Next semester I have clinicals in two different cities 45-50 minutes away in opposite directions..

Thank you very much!!

I am working on a health history report for my health assessment class and have a question about one of the subjects we are supposed to touch on. All it states is "use of safety measures." I have looked in my book (Jarvis) and can't find any information related to this. I also have looked online, but there is so much information to sort through. Can someone point me in the right direction? TIA for any help.
