  1. Nursing School/Tattoo Vent

    Jonathank replied to LikesToWander's topic in General Students

    If you can document someone in authority telling you that they would be manageable before someone with less authority told you they weren't, you might have a case. Call some lawyers in your area for...

  2. Fall Prevention; Alzheimer's Disease

    Jonathank replied to jmk22's topic in General Students

    I'd cosign this approach. I'd say talk to the pt. to establish/foster trust/human connection and hope that some info can be retained, but understand that the caretakers will be more likely to retain...

  3. The larger the gauge of the needle the smaller diameter???

    Jonathank replied to CrystalClear75's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Relevant questions for bumping this old thread: WHY is it that this is true? Whose idea was this? There must be an explanation if it's also true of

  4. Blood Type Compatibility Question

    Jonathank replied to Shanimal's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I found it on ATI's "blood administration" module. It's just one more antigen: A person who has the D antigen is classified Rh-positive; a person who does not have the D antigen is Rh-negative....

  5. Darn you, allnurses...Darn you all to heck!

    Jonathank replied to metal_m0nk's topic in General Students

    I was on here to study- I swear! I posted a question about blood typing on a thread I found on the "NS assistance" board (can somebody check that for me, please :heartbeat) and I noticed I'd gotten a...

  6. Blood Type Compatibility Question

    Jonathank replied to Shanimal's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Let me see if I've got this: So, if the ABO matches, the Rh of the blood to be infused to an Rh positive pt. can be positive or negative, but the Rh negative pt. needs blood that is Rh negative as...

  7. Test Anxety

    Jonathank replied to Azure1213's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    The cake: Study enough well ahead of time that you don't feel the need to cram. The icing: Get a good night's sleep. Follow the morning routine that you are comfortable with that day regarding...

  8. Who has done the military route?!

    Jonathank replied to TYoungRNBSN's topic in Government, Military

    No military experience, but plenty of real world experience here. I'll just add this: read everything really well before you sign it, and get any promises that are made to you verbally written and...

  9. Where Do You Study???

    Jonathank replied to WandererRNBSN's topic in General Students

    Is there a story that goes with

  10. Dosage Calculation Policies

    Jonathank replied to nursingtodo11's topic in General Students

    2 chances to make 90 each semester for us. As long as the converting/rounding rules are clearly stated, it's fair. If they're not, try to clarify

  11. Can you unscramble...

    Jonathank replied to Spikey74's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Order: Digoxin 0.2 tsp po b.i.d.. On hand is 75 mcg / ml. How many ml’s will you give? 0.2 tsp = 1 mL The weight doesn't matter (extraneous info), as the order is for THAT

  12. i have a problem with mixed acid base disorders

    Jonathank replied to tmoradyan's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Kylee has given you a pretty definitive tutorial there. I would just point out that there are different ways to assess compensation or lack thereof. Don't get thrown if you're book/class defines it...

  13. Cullen's sign, Blumberg's sign, Murphy's sign, etc...

    Jonathank replied to Shari1565's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Just post up what you've got. The "graphically pleasing" element can be fixed easily, getting the info together is the hard

  14. i have a problem with mixed acid base disorders

    Jonathank replied to tmoradyan's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'm sure if you realize it or not- or if this even helps you- but: if the unit is mm Hg, you're measuring pressure rather than concentration. Concentration is expressed in units like osmolarity or...

  15. Fluid/Electrolyte question

    Jonathank replied to koko2002's topic in General Students

    OP: you might benefit from reviewing your A&P. Many of these concepts are introduced when you study the circulatory and urinary

  16. What does "s/t" mean?

    Jonathank replied to mymoment4life's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Could be. The same NI told us not use the word "poor" to describe skin turgor (she wants us to say loose or tented instead), but I see it described that way in just about all our books and...

  17. What does "s/t" mean?

    Jonathank replied to mymoment4life's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    We were told to use s/t instead of r/t if the defining characteristic you cite in your NDX statement is an MDX rather than a sign or

  18. Wound Care question

    Jonathank replied to Livingmydream1's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I would ask a mod to move your thread to general nursing. You'd be likely to get more (and better) responses there. This "student assistance" board gets a fraction of the traffic it

  19. Is finding employment as a new grad hard?

    Jonathank replied to Tj14's topic in First Year After Licensure

    That's the bottom line. Well, that and your willingness to travel to a new area if the need

  20. "Group quizes"?!

    Jonathank replied to dp1200's topic in General Students

    She might benefit from assertiveness training if she's letting people who admit they haven't even read talk her out of what she knows are the right

  21. Cullen's sign, Blumberg's sign, Murphy's sign, etc...

    Jonathank replied to Shari1565's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Before you get started, skip Homan's sign. Research has proven it's not a good indicator. I like the sentiment of asking you to post it up when you're done. Share with the group, Grasshopper... As...

  22. Darn you, allnurses...Darn you all to heck!

    Jonathank replied to metal_m0nk's topic in General Students

    Great thread title. I couldn't agree with the sentiment

  23. A&PI Study Tips/Buddy!!

    Jonathank replied to cschafer0818's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I didn't read all the above, so I might repeat some suggestions. Search these names/terms on google videos & youtube: Integrative Biology (Marion Diamond - Cal Berkeley) George Wolfe biology...

  24. Drug Calculations: what works for you??

    Jonathank replied to ReinventingMyselfAgain's topic in General Students

    I'll cosign practice. And when dimensional analysis gets brought up, that speaks to my larger point: a foundation in all the properties of numbers is REALLY helpful. Understanding why formulas or...

  25. Video Lectures?

    Jonathank replied to pitaya's topic in General Students

    I'll endorse campbellteaching as well. Search around youtube and google vids. You might be surprised by what you can
