  1. Lament of the White Clinical Pants

    Jonathank replied to cogath's topic in General Students

    The white is so your clinical instructor can spot you from a distance. But I refuse to eat foods with tomato-based sauces while wearing a white shirt. We had to wear all whites for CNA clinical, but...

  2. Nursing Shoes

    Jonathank replied to AlleycatLPN's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Any well-constructed leather cross-training or walking shoes will also work. Nike, Reebok, and Addidas are also good brands. Go to a big box shoe retailer and find a pair or two that you like (if...

  3. They're Their and There

    Jonathank replied to PaperPencil's topic in General Students

    I like the new turn the thread has taken. I'm reminded of a couple of closed-captioning stories. The first is hearsay- but the source was a sportswriter, so it's credible. In the late 90's, Tiger...

  4. Best Anatomy Resources to use?

    Jonathank replied to Devie06's topic in General Students

    Great lecturer:

  5. Muscle Synergists?

    Jonathank replied to Devie06's topic in General Students

    Biceps- triceps flexes elbow, extends

  6. boils, furuncle and abscesses-skin cultures necessary? most likely MRSA?

    Jonathank replied to linguine's topic in General Nursing

    The irony of this is, it's years and years of antibiotic-happy docs and patients that have led to the emergence of superbugs like MRSA. I don't have any easy answers, but treating resistant microbes...

  7. Help - First Job as LPN is an agency job!

    Jonathank replied to BrazilianLPN's topic in General Nursing

    Glad to see the OP post the rest of the story. It seemed the posts were about 10:1 "run away" vs. "you can do it". Before I saw the OP's update, I was going to suggest a third approach somewhere...

  8. Critical Thinking!!!!!! Whatever!!

    Jonathank replied to clandestine-approach's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Slimlvn: Sorry about your troubles. If you start your own thread, you'll get more responses. I'd also recommend posting it on the "general nursing student discussions" board to get it seen by more...

  9. They're Their and There

    Jonathank replied to PaperPencil's topic in General Students

    You need to get used to it. If you're expecting perfect grammar all the time, it's certain you'll be

  10. Blood Type and RH status

    Jonathank replied to cantwait2graduate's topic in General Students

    Yes. A, B, AB and O reflect presence or absence of A and B antigens, and Rh + or - simply reflect whether a D antigen is

  11. when baby should come out?

    Jonathank replied to kalalu's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I don't take ob/gyn/peds until this summer, but I'm pretty sure this isn't a Nursing decision

  12. Mental Health Nursing

    Jonathank replied to ag.wade's topic in General Students

    Our Psych clinical rotation was great. If you want topics to review to prepare, I'd suggest: bipolar, depression, schizophrenia, addiction, psych meds, therapeutic comm., and defense

  13. NLN HELP!!!!

    Jonathank replied to Del07's topic in General Students

    There will be plenty of things that you do have to pass later, so why stress yourself over something you don't? If you do want to prepare (NOT the same thing as stressing, BTW), a good first step...

  14. please give your opinion =)

    Jonathank replied to bayli1's topic in General Students

    Compared to the mean average of 60/350 (roughly 17%), I'd guess your odds are somewhat better. The raw test scores mean nothing to me as I'm not familiar with them. A lot depends on how the program...

  15. CNA State Board Test

    Jonathank replied to Mandddaaaaa's topic in General Nursing

    If your state contracts out their CNA testing, the BON will refer you to an outside agency. But, either way, definitely follow through to find out what's up. You probably should have already...

  16. PLEASE HELP! Diluent problems!

    Jonathank replied to AshRNAthena's topic in Patient Medications

    Old post on a dead board, but just for giggles: 1. I'd go with the bottom dilution to avoid having to give multiple shots. If 3.6 mL has 250K units and 125K units are ordered, give 1.8 mL. 2. 250...

  17. Losing motivation to study, any tips??

    Jonathank replied to Newbiestudent18's topic in General Nursing

    Save your textbook for last. I find online lectures, videos, tutorials, powerpoints, word docs, pdf's, etc. a better introduction to most topics. Once you have the big picture, you can retain more...

  18. Do people view male nursing students differently?

    Jonathank replied to LeO13's topic in General Students

    Anyone who still does a double-take when hearing about men in nursing is out of touch. Are there still people who are out of touch? Of

  19. I hate ADPIE's

    Jonathank replied to MLMRN1120's topic in General Students

    As Daytonite said so well, ADPIE is simply the decision-making process quantified. As for not having time to evaluate: simply write "ongoing" in that

  20. Psychiatric Careplan

    Jonathank replied to Kristin, RN student's topic in General Students

    Care plan resource? Your NDX

  21. Please Translate to Spanish

    Jonathank replied to Kristy_joyz's topic in General Students

    Coming up with exact translations isn't going to help the OP much, IMHO. Learning the words you speak will serve you much better than asking someone to provide you with words that you don't really...

  22. Any study hints for A&P

    Jonathank replied to Nicole74's topic in General Students

    Better lectures here:

  23. CNA Interview!

    Jonathank replied to sj73201's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    It certainly sounds all positive for you. Good

  24. Need help with this IV calc!

    Jonathank replied to lrc1203's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    250 +10 = 260 mL 260 mL/2 hrs = 130 mL/hr You have to count what you added to get a

  25. writing a nursing diagnosis for contracture

    Jonathank replied to Chribri's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Contracture is a NANDA-approved related factor for that NDX. I'd go with an NDX statement that looks something like this: "Impaired physical mobility r/t contractures aeb limited range of motion"....
