  2. Opinions, please - etiology and pathophysiology of childbirth

    Jonathank replied to dauphins3's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Etiology of childbirth? Conception/genetics, mitosis/growth/development, endocrine pathways that induce labor... Patho might be a little more

    Jonathank replied to elilop's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  5. Does Oxygen need to be prescribed?

    Jonathank replied to seasoned hopeful's topic in General Students

    As I understand it, yes. You either need a specific order for that pt. or a standing order that applies to the pt.'s

  6. Just A Little Question........

    Jonathank replied to kad13579's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    To teach you how to fish instead of just handing you a fish: You can really clean up your search results if you add "nlm.nih" into the search box after the term you are searching for....

  7. Has anyone ever felt like.......

    Jonathank replied to WindyhillBSN's topic in General Students

    If your instructors aren't helpful, find resources on the web. Take responsibility for your own education. Learning isn't just something someone spoon feeds to

  8. Help with questions!!

    Jonathank replied to julimom's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Carefully read the question stem and all the answers. Underline parts of the stem that you think may be key clues. Eliminate any answers you're sure are wrong. Then consider ABC's, then other...

  9. Please Help Dosage!!!

    Jonathank replied to uwa2012's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Go over your dose calc. test with your advisor. Find out what you did to miss the questions. Some things, like rounding or conversion errors are easily fixable. If you're getting the practice test...

  10. interventions for elderly patient

    Jonathank replied to bexinan's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Teaching could include family members who could be taught about things like the pt.'s diet, care, and home safety needs, the likely course of the disease, and potential family coping mechanisms. If...

  11. QUESTIONS NEED HELP!!!

    Jonathank replied to kalhonaaho's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Oxygen looks like the best choice in the first question to me, but was there language indicating it's ordered (remember, when you're relaying these questions, giving the exact wording is essential)?...

  12. I'm REALLY uninformed about the next step(s) in nursing school fu

    Jonathank replied to gabrielgroom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Need is a strong word. You could also get an ADN/RN, and then take an ADN-to-BSN bridge. From there (BSN), the paths to the various specialty credentials and/or advanced degrees are virtually...

  13. Entering nursing school in Sept. Any suggestion??

    Jonathank replied to sltenbroeck's topic in General Students

    Brushing up on A&P? I recommend you watch Marion Diamond's lectures:...

  14. what do you do if your teacher crosses the line

    Jonathank replied to amybear's topic in General Students

    Good point there. Your state could have stiffer laws against unauthorized recording than against verbal abuse. But as far as I know, it's legal to keep a written record of your experiences and those...

  15. IV starts

    Jonathank replied to all4ofus's topic in General Students

    I've only stuck the dummy arms so

  16. Care Plan Book Recommendation

    Jonathank replied to vanillagerm's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'd say the NDX book that's best for you will be the one that most closely matches the language and format of the care plan forms used in your program. Ask an instructor which NDX book they used when...

  17. LPN PAY- Savannah, Ga?

    Jonathank replied to gapeacheykeen's topic in General Students

    Try the general nursing board. It gets more traffic. Or you try the regional board for your

  18. Entering nursing school in Sept. Any suggestion??

    Jonathank replied to sltenbroeck's topic in General Students

    If your footing is solid in your A&P, I'd recommend searching youtube for freshman Chem. and Bio lectures from Cal-Berkeley (both) and MIT (Chem). Start looking at nursing skills vids and nursing...

  19. what do you do if your teacher crosses the line

    Jonathank replied to amybear's topic in General Students

    That's the key part here. Then the "lunch" goes from being hearsay to having been documented by corroborating witnesses. If she's been making fun of you in your absence, that's prima facie evidence...

  20. glossary terms

    Jonathank replied to ofcruz's topic in General Students

    One thing that helps me is looking up the etymology of new terms. This makes them less

  21. Difference between glomerulonephritis and nephrotic syndrome?

    Jonathank replied to Vines812's topic in General Students

    Good question. Nephritic syndrome is severe acute glomerulonephritis. Nephrotic syndrome may be similar, but it's more complicated and, I think, serious. There's a danger of a sudden and severe...

  22. dating someone with schizophrenia

    Jonathank replied to dipsett08's topic in Psychiatric

    It strikes me as telling that 3+ years later, the OP hasn't given a "rest of the story." If there had been a happy ending, I'm guessing we would have heard back. The thread got bumped recently by...

  23. Help,Help! Reconstituting Powdered Med Calculation

    Jonathank replied to ms_daisy's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Unless the orders are for elephants or a whales, I'm going to guess it should be 1 g (gram) not 1 gr (grain). If there's only 1 grain in 2.6 mL of the reconstituted solution, you'd have to...

  24. Does fasting indicate NPO?

    Jonathank replied to neil890123's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'd say generally, fasting involves no caloric intake- H20 only. But as others have pointed out, your school or facility may define it

  25. Apothecary Measurements

    Jonathank replied to StudentNrseMcFarland's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Be aware of the differences in the final answer you'll get using one or the other of these conversions. The exact conversion factor is somewhere between these two. Get the rules clarified about...
