Any warmed IV bags used? https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/22c4/f03ee9ac797cefb8b0d84ef7c3fac163ab99.pdf

Sometimes a pt would present to subspecialty neuro clinic with these for months. Previous Drs. were unable to diagnose. The clinic Dr. went through standard history and physical with pt, all negative, then asked about abuse hx. Dr. was not surprised to hear hx of sexual abuse at young age. Pt had counseling for it at some point and thought it was resolved. Dr. said this presentation is not uncommon and referred to specialized psych.

I used the technique in this article when giving vax. Worked when needed. Had 2 pt near syncope before I started using this. Had to slide them to the floor and raise their feet. They were fine. Management of Vasovagal Syncope Can they have water? Are they dehydrating themselves? When working in a Parkinson's clinic, a neurologist told me to give pts with low BP a glass of water as it would raise the SBP about 10. See Plain water has surprising impact on blood pressure (07/8/10) Good luck!

Yeah, give me a minute to fix it!

Flashback to 2010: One day my nine year old said, My head itches (scratch, scratch). . .Jane Doe (friend) said she had lice last week, but it's not her fault. She got it at her cousin's house.” After visual confirmation, I went to Google to research which OTC brand was most effective. Couldn't find much difference between permethrin and pyrethrin, so though I hated using pesticides on her, I picked one, put on a long DVD, and got started. A couple days later, there was still a live louse. I did some more research, read lice are becoming resistant to these pesticides, and looked up the active ingredient in the expensive ($90ish a bottle) newer Rx treatment – benzyl alcohol. I found its available cheaply from chem suppliers online. When looking for an emollient substrate to mix with it, I stumbled across the Nuvo (Cetaphil) Method.” Turns out Cetaphil Gentle skin cleanser contains cetyl alcohol which has been shown to be effective in smothering lice. Google Dr. Pearlman – he's a derm who tried to formulate an exclusive lice tx to sell to his wealthy clients and used Cetaphil as the control. It worked better than his product, so he repackaged it as Nuvo”, and tried to make $$$$ off it. His study was published in the September 2004 issue of Pediatrics. He couldn't interest pharm companies to invest in it, so he came clean (haha) and released the Nuvo Method” using Cetaphil on the web. My daughter already showers with Cetaphil since she has mild eczema, so I had it on hand and just switched to it for the 7 day follow up tx. I get it at Costco, or at CVS when they send out coupons. Worked great, smelled better, and left her hair soft. Still took a lot of time because you blow dry it in to shrink wrap the lice, but hey, they won't become resistant to suffocation, will they!

I sent you a PM. I'd like to hear about those classes you're taking !. Yes I'm RN-MSN. I have those 2 this summer, then Competencies of RN Bacc. and Aging in the fall. Did you not have these "Bacc is great" courses at UTA? Do you know when you take Adv Assessment? I have it next spring. Anyone got info on these or other courses??? I'm so tired of writing papers about papers and responding to others' papers about papers. Even adv patho was "write an essay about xyz, discuss it at the molecular level." At least it was fascinating.

Hi gradstudent, What courses did you have in the Fall and Spring? I can't find anyone to discuss this program with! I'd be happy to tell you about 5024 Research. Google an old syllabus from 2013 online. What changed for us is that the final PICOT project is worth 35% instead of 20%, and the weekly DB with 2 replies are only worth 25% instead of 50%. I can send you the syllabus if you can send/receive messages on here. It was intense, but I was able to get an A taking it alone and working 45+ hr weeks. Did you take RN w Fam/Groups and Comm. Health at TWU? These 2 together are killing me with all the writing and I'm not even working right now. About 5+ pages a week in APA. I'm constantly behind and my kids feel ignored. I'm afraid High Acuity and Intro to Bacc this summer will be the same way. Did you take those at TWU?

Nibbles1 for President!

Sorry I'm no help, I won't have Theory until Fall '16 I guess. These undergrad courses are taking forever. I'm burned out with APA discussion posts and essays and reports and I have 5 more classes after this to finish the undergrad part of RN-MSN. I would love to just take some quizzes (without confusing blueprints of course). I wonder if there is less writing in the on campus courses. Are you FNP? What semester? What does your degree plan look like? Good luck on your quiz. Hope you or someone's around to answer questions when I have to take it next year!

Anybody taken 5024 Research and Qual. Imp. Nsg. (esp.at the Dallas Campus) ?? Would you mind describing the assignments, time commitment, grading, difficulty, etc. I need to decide whether to take this class alone or with Intro to Bacc. I work 40 hr/wk, commute 10+ hr/wk and have 2 kids. Any information will be appreciated. I'd love to see the syllabus. TIA!

Hi, I have to have my adviser register me every semester. I was told that the registration program doesn't recognize that RN to MS students are allowed to register for graduate courses.

You can do it! It's the easy part. Look back at the PP presentations and the chapters you've covered. Ours was in there! Then you can research articles for the essay.

U mean when I took adv pharm? Required text:McPhee, S.J. & Hammer, G.D. (2010). Pathophysiology of Disease: An Introduction to Clinical Medicine (5th. ed.) I hardly used it. It wasn't indepth enough for most of the assignments, so I did a lot of research for articles and e-books as I mentioned earlier. Right now I'm finishing Leadership and Management and I really didn't need the text for it either, just the online powerpoints and more library research.

gradstudent2017, Follow the example she buried in the syllabus (except u should make paragraphs even though they're not in the example!!!)I don't think she's a hard grader, but I can't really tell. I only got back 2 grades, the midterm and the DB participation (my DB comments were essays in themselves, but I didn't always post all 3). She emailed us that our first PP was fantastic, but nothing about the 2nd one (which I thought wasn't as good). The most difficult thing was finding research articles that directly addressed the exam questions, then cramming all the info into a one page answer. Make sure u get to the cellular or molecular level if required. I had trouble getting info for one question on each exam, but still somehow came out with an A. Helps a lot if u know your way around RefWorks, Google Scholar, TWU library, and TMC library.

First they registered me for Parkland on campus. I pointed out that I wanted it online and the only one that semester was out of Houston, so they registered me for Houston. Denton is my "home" campus.
