  1. Impersonating a nurse

    Jonathank replied to Elleveein's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Actually, it varies pretty widely by state. But the OP should definitely make sure to verify whether it's necessary in her state (CA) to obtain consent from all parties before

  2. Is clinical rotation "Murphey's Law" following you too?

    Jonathank replied to Certifiable's topic in General Students

    You want to go into geriatrics but don't like oncology? A pretty significant portion of the older population has/will get/is in danger of lots of types of cancers. That's like wanting to be in peds,...

  3. CVA Paper

    Jonathank replied to NICURN2013's topic in General Students

    Those are pretty much your choices- a list or text in paragraph form. If you want to write it out, put the most important one(s) first. Use a separate paragraph for each one that you write any more...

  4. First time on the floor I already violated infection control, is this the end?

    Jonathank replied to Datu's topic in General Students

    They gave you a handout? [sarcasm] You're in big trouble now!!!

  5. Impersonating a nurse

    Jonathank replied to Elleveein's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    First, get another job. Then report them to your state BON. They're almost certainly practicing beyond the scope of MA's, and the business cards that say they're nurses are fraudulent. Whatever...

  6. Tips for passing clinical tests?

    Jonathank replied to jerep's topic in General Students

    If there's not a laundry hamper, put the dirty linens into a pillow

  7. Start singing this to yourself to help work go by faster

    Jonathank replied to LPNweezy's topic in General Nursing

    Given the Op's user name, I was half expecting this to be "L-l-l-l-like a

  8. I'm becoming discouraged about becoming a nurse :/ How will I get a job?

    Jonathank replied to Skylarslaughter's topic in General Nursing

    While there may not be a nursing shortage nationally at the moment, anyone with a handle on the demographic trends understands that the ranks of older people in the USA who be in need of health care...

  9. will jobs accept bachelor degrees from online schools?

    Jonathank replied to JM RN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Oh, and for the OP: One of our clinical instructors got her BSN from Phoenix or

  10. will jobs accept bachelor degrees from online schools?

    Jonathank replied to JM RN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I'm glad I clicked on this thread. I hadn't thought about the regional accreditation issue (I'm a little over a year from getting an ADN RN). As far as the clinical hours- I'd heard that if you're...

  11. Things you would love to say to your fellow nursing students!

    Jonathank replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    Just worry about yourself. The ones who who engage in bragging are only wearing their own insecurities on their sleeves. Most of the other things you describe are just the simple foibles you'll find...

  12. I have a nursing textbook and I'm not afraid to chuck it at you!

    Jonathank replied to okredrobot's topic in General Students

    I'm dying to find out more about that rocket

  13. Tylenol overdose and the public's ignorance.

    Jonathank replied to GardenDove's topic in General Nursing

    ETOH abuse + vicodin abuse = liver

  14. Digoxin

    Jonathank replied to koko2002's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I don't know, but the first one is possible and the second one isn't. If a cation like k+ is entering, some other cation(s) is/are leaving to maintain electrical balance (equal out the charges)....

  15. Tylenol overdose and the public's ignorance.

    Jonathank replied to GardenDove's topic in General Nursing

    Think of all the disclaimers that have to be included for all the most remote possible side effects for prescription meds, and yet this OTC med gets to advertise without even mentioning that it is...

  16. New or Used Care Plan Book?

    Jonathank replied to Staragate's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    2003 might be pushing it. A newer one would be probably be preferable. But if you did use a book that old, you could check online to make sure that the NDX's, defining characteristics,...

  17. Cholinergic agents (drugs)

    Jonathank replied to Epona's topic in General Nursing

    The first reply hit the nail on the head. A cholinergic enhances parasympathetic

  18. Cardiac question

    Jonathank replied to koko2002's topic in General Students

    In left sided heart failure, blood will become backed up in the pulmonary circulation before it gets to the left side of the heart. In right sided heart failure, blood will get backed up in the...

  19. My RN program doesn't include Med Surg or Pharmacology!? CONFUSED

    Jonathank replied to Skylarslaughter's topic in General Students

    That sounds much like our ADN program. Pharmacology will be dribbled out in bits & pieces in all your course

  20. My Microbiology Teacher told me I can't become a Nurse

    Jonathank replied to louis345's topic in General Students

    I'd disregard that abusive remark. It says more about the teacher than about

  21. Since when is it okay to brag about abusing a patient?

    Jonathank replied to kristieRNsn2bFNP's topic in General Nursing

    Two words: report them. Okay, three: report them

  22. Japan!

    Jonathank replied to AnnieOaklyRN's topic in General Nursing

    They're not necessarily even out of the woods yet. They're still getting aftershocks and tsunamis, and have a couple of nuke plants that might be of the verge of meltdown. It's hard to rescue...

  23. do cna's only with with the elderly?

    Jonathank replied to klt324's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    In theory, no. In reality, pretty close to yes. CNA training in my state has even been adjusted to reflect this

  24. Silly Care Plans - for fun!

    Jonathank replied to Staragate's topic in General Students

    More chocolate available? Outcome: obesity!

  25. Nursing Books
