  1. Hi I was needing some help on nursing diagnosis....how do you make one and when....what is the rationale for a nursing diagnosis when a medical one is the one that matters? Goal of care-Is this the...
  2. Littman! That way you can hear those lung sounds! The Cardiology III is expensive but worth it. You will find yourself spending money several ways throughout nursing school anyway, why not go with a...
  3. Hi I am a nursing school student that is failing. "Weeding" season has begun in my program and I am at risk for getting plucked. No instructors or faculty members can be trusted to turn to. I know you...
  4. Yes we should all be prepared because once we start working not only do we have doctors to deal with, but unhappy and misplaced charge nurses and the many veteran nurses who complain everyday about...
  5. Trauma!

    Trauma nursing information for someone interested in that
  6. Evidently it depends on your location and current nursing situation in your state. The question that is on everyone's mind now is....why is there a nursing shortage? Why exactly is there a nursing...
  7. Trauma!

    Thanks, :) I mean, you can't really define what reality is anyway. In my reality, nursing is not a boring career that consists of 70-75% paperwork and the rest actual patient care. No....that is not...
  8. Crossed the line... or expected behavior?

    You are right though. I read too much into it. But man, the stuff they drill into us in nursing school but I hear so many people saying it will be different when you get out. I mean they drill, drill,...
  9. Trauma!

    I do actually. As long as it is not someone I love or that I am close to I could care less. I mean, I have soooo many doctors in my family and circle of friends that I have adopted their darned...
  10. Crossed the line... or expected behavior?

    I think you are a prime example of what new nurses of today and nurses of the future should be. These nurses now are old school, washed up, still scared of the doctor type nurses that would have kept...
  11. I know NY is a tough place to move away from, I've been there and I loved it, but have you ever thought about relocating because I heard about the NY nurse situation from this Manhattan doctor I know,...
  12. Trauma!

    Yeah, I hate the carelessness. I saw it today. A patient was first made an example of how not to live your life and then his chart was left open for a doctor who never came to view it (the...
  13. Trauma!

    With psychiatric patients, I feel they live the nightmare of living in a cycle. When they are out in society, they face the stigma that comes with mental illness. They are usually unwanted and some...
  14. Trauma!

    Lol, sorry I had the acronym wrong! Thank you for the info, I will check it out. So what about nurses involved in flight or nurses that work in law offices? I am hearing sooooo much, but my aunt tells...
  15. Trauma!

    Oh yeah, a while back when I was a bit younger I worked at a psychiatric facility, the largest in this state, and there was this patient that was said to have raped his 8-month-old daughter. I was a...
  16. Trauma!

    Have you ever heard of a SAFE nurse? (Sexually Abused Forensic Nurse) or do you know anyone that works in that field? I heard of it on television and I was like wow, the things you can go into with...
  17. Trauma!

    Well, I did say the gunshot victim was off-limits. To virtually everyone at that. She had a high-profile case because she was involved in an attempted murder-suicide but the suicide was successful...
  18. Why is Nursing School So Flawed?

    What are you doing now, if you don't mind me
  19. Hi everyone. So yeah we took some exams this week. The one for Fundamentals of Nursing I didn't necessarily bomb it but I was still unhappy with my grade. But really the test to me made no sense...
  20. What is YOUR opinion on nursing school exams?

    I gave you kudos idiot, I value YOUR opinion at least. Everyone else is just irrelevant. But I mean no, you shouldn't go into teaching. You sound like our clinical instructor. She is just a biitch for...

    you still don't get it huh? to a student coming in the program with a 3.85 gpa, a b is failing....gee whiz kid.
  23. What are your study techniques?

    After reading a chapter, doing the review questions and critical thinking questions is a good way to test your learning. I use a timer because sometimes I will find myself having studied for only one...

    Oh my gosh Im done with it! Lol, Im done! You people are too dense for me. But hey thanks for trying anyway sweetie I mean you did try. Yes I am failing. I am failing with B's and I am an A student....
