  1. Question about an order

    It means it's a stock drug, the floor keeps it in the PYXIS, no need to order from the

  4. What is the answer to this question!?

  7. Im here to complain. you can too:)

    I hate ATI, our a$$hole nursing director, nursing school politics, brand spanking new teachers with the "holier than thou" complex that can't teach their way out of a wet paper bag, early mornings,...
  8. Waiting list......

    They work in nursing homes but in the hospitals as well, you really need to get patient care in there to help you after you graduate if it's a tough market where you are at. I'm a Phlebotomist and to...
  9. Please Help Me Remove Some Roadblocks

    You can get used to most bodily smells after time, and you can pick an area of nursing that doesn't involve trauma (like gunshot wounds). There are ways around some of the gross stuff, but not...
  10. Clinical Judgement

    I mean if her blood pressure is within normal limits or lower, hold the med and call the doc to see where he wants to go from there. If higher than normal limits, give it. But I feel the same way,...
  11. Clinical Judgement

    First, kudos to you for not listening to your instructor on that and getting another opinion! Second, I have asked this question many times and the answer I typically get is, if BP is within normal...
  12. What is the answer to this question!?

    While I agree with you that 60cc isn't a lot of urine, 30cc/hr is the minimum acceptable urine output, so it's not an inaccurate

  15. Best Books? Please help!!!

    I would take the Kaplan course, it's pricey but it is guaranteed, but check with them about the guarantee due to this being the second time taking the
  16. What is the answer to this question!?

    That is poorly worded question, it would make more sense to ask what would you do first, but then I don't know if cath care would really fit into the question at all (you would do cath care regardless...
  17. Am I taking on too much????

    It is doable, but it depends on how you handle a busy schedule and stress, I had Fundamentals and Nursing Concepts my first semester and got A's, they weren't hard but the workload was heavy! We had...
  18. Is working in the NICU the same as labor and delivery?

    If you were fascinated by childbirth then you would want to look into L&D, NICU is and intensive care unit for neonates, it can be very stressful, sad, and hard to deal with. Neonates in the NICU...
  19. Taking first Psych exam, Any Advice?

    I really disliked Psych, but one thing usually held true on all of our tests, the longest answer is usually the most therapeutic. Watch out for the questions that easily trip people up, like: The...
  20. Struggling in Clinical

    I had a pretty bad instructor myself but I learned from a friend that sometimes you just have use it to your advantage. Nursing is not a job where people are going to hold your hand and say...
  21. Waiting list......

    A lot of hospitals are going away from hiring ADN's, I'm in Missouri and we have a pretty good job market for nursing right now, but 3 or 4 of our major hospitals have gone away from hiring ADN's to...
  22. How important is ATI???

    Mattrnstudent23, I'm so glad our program doesn't put THAT much emphasis on it, we would've lost a dozen people yesterday (if they fail again that is). While I am happy we get points, the point of...

    List of Nursing Specialties - Nursing Career I'm sure you know what a NP, a PA is virtually the same thing, they just don't go the nursing route, they go the Allied Health route like doc's....
  24. I agree with GrnTea, if there is a way to measure it, whether you have measured it or not, it's objective. If you lined up all of her sexual partners you could then count them, you wouldn't and there...
