  1. I forgot to date and time an iv bag

    Was it on a pump? If so I wouldn't worry. By gravity? As long as you documented it they can easily figure it
  2. I'm infertile...and worried about my OB rotation

    I'm so sorry for the loss of your baby. What a horrific thing to endure. Be honest with your teacher. My experience has been that the instructors who advise clinicals for LD/PP are specialized in...
  3. Fear no man (or woman ). You have NOTHING to be afraid of. You have to capture that fear beat it. Your instructor is there to HELP YOU!!!!! Not to watch you for some nit picky little thing and...
  4. Study suggestions for group learning

    You should ask them. Though if they are doing that poorly they probably don't know how to learn on their own. My guess is you're going to be doing a lot of spoon feeding. I would set it up so...
  5. remove clotts from iv line

    Ah! Don't push a clot through. Oh no no no. ITA w/ PP, keep it cleared in the first place. Make sure it's being flushed enough. If it's not, start it in another
  6. I almost got kicked out of my program from ONE mistake!

    Not only could they kick you out, but you could be prevented from ever obtaining licensure should you find a school to re-enroll. You cannot practice nursing without a license. THINK about what you...
  7. 3 initial questions before Vaginal Exam? Why?

    Is this a full-term mom or a pre-term with complications? If it's a full-term mom, I'd want to know if she's having any leaking fluids for sure, and if so when she thinks the SROM happened. I...
  8. ADN Students Whom Already Hold a Bachelors in Another Field

    Thanks for the info on this program. I wonder if the 10 days are spread out or week at a time options. I would be all for this kind of program for the CFNP. (If there's an airport nearby.
  9. ADN Students Whom Already Hold a Bachelors in Another Field

    I get so annoyed when people down online programs. I think it's some residual Boomer ideology creeping into the present (NOT claiming all Boomers believe this, I'm just thinking that's where it...
  10. Endocrine system help

    Look here: http://www.endocrineweb.com/ That's the best endocrine web site I've seen. Good
  11. I just lost my brother, hoping to get some feedback

    I'm so sorry for your
  12. Anatomy harder than nursing school classes?

    They aren't similar. A&P is a lot of memorization. There's a lot of material in nursing, but you have to apply it. I thought A&P was MUCH easier. I think it depends on your skill set...
  13. Infant Circumcision in Nursing school

    But YOU are not what matters, are you now? This practice is not illegal. If it comes down to morals, we all differ. This practice in particular is touchy because there are several major religions...
  14. ipod touch applications for clinical

    Which applications for iPod Touch do you use for clinical? Which are helpful?
  15. ipod touch applications for clinical

    They work without a connection if you pay and download them. :) All of the hospitals around here are broadcasting a wireless connection...I'm tossing around the idea of just using drugs.com etc...
  16. What are the best study guides for RN program?

    I agree about the Saunders 5th edition NCLEX review. From the start you'll be able to find applicable content and work through it as you move through your program. Good
  17. Grade Appeals

    Everybody's negative until it's THEIR head on the block, then they get it together. You're not in a great situation, but you should certainly be able to review your work. That is a basic right of...
  18. ipod touch applications for clinical

    My school doesn't offer any kind of package. :/ Do Nursing Central and Skyscape update every year, or do you keep paying each
  19. How can an instructor improve your education?

    YES, that is EXACTLY RIGHT. Spare them the group
  20. How can an instructor improve your education?

    FOUR HOURS!? Oh my. That's a set up! It helps me when my teachers tell stories. NOT about the funky rash they have or how their grandpa can't hold his urine...but about experiences with patients....
  21. A trainwreck!

    I just asked my husband - he said the college where he teaches the cap is 2 in one day - he thinks that's standard. The HESI is different, but I would think they'd count it as a required
  22. A trainwreck!

    Surely not! I think most institutions have limits on how many finals you can be required to take in one day - if you exceed the maximum the teacher has to let you reschedule. Good luck! Use that...
  23. Too many schools?

    Perhaps you could generate a list of alternative arguments. Use those critical thinking skills. They wouldn't be there if there wasn't a demand. These institutions exist to make money. Which is...
  24. How much math is involved in nursing school?

    The math is very simple. +, -, *, / People get tripped up on it because they don't have basic, fundamental math skills. You should be able to figure out what percentage of one thing is within...
  25. tell me about L&D/PP clinicals

    I start them soon. I am FREAKED out. I'm pretty sure I don't want to be in this area in the future. I have 3 children, so it's not foreign to me. I'm just worried about it. What is it like?...
