I have one year to go in school for my RN. I am really worried about having an incredibly bad memory. I am doing OK in school, but after a test, I tell you, the info is GONE. I can know certain meds inside and out for a test, then poof!! I can't ...

My 14 yo son dropped a 70 lb hand weight on his hand and his nail was ripped off tearing his cuticle way back. Should it be allowed to dry out, or keep it covered with antibiotic cream and bandage? Thank you.

I am almost done with my first year as RN on a med/surg floor. I work nights and some mornings are so crazy. When I get home, sometimes I remember something I didn't do and can not sleep for days because of it. I had a problem with a pump the other n...

I am an RN and I just completed one long year on crazy med/surg floor. Is l&d and mother baby less stressful? Please tell me it is. I would like to make a move there. Mother baby is why I became a nurse, but felt it would be benefitial to do the ...

I just bought the Palm.....Tungsten E . Love it, I went with the cheaper one to see if I will use in my up coming 2nd year. I figure I won't freak if it gets lost, and if I find I use it, I can always up-grade when I start getting a pay check. I ...

I have a Littman SE which is great, but for fun I got an Ultrascope--love it.

My high school daughter got a who's who letter. I had to buy the book. I felt if I didn't, what was my message to her? They got one over on me for sure.

If you were my daughter, I would say "go for the BSN". I'm doing the ADN thing because I had conflicts with day care issues and I am old. With pre-reqs, it will have taken me 4 1/2years for ADN. If you do the BSN, you won't regret it. Good Luck:...

Grass is always greener, I know, but I'm 6 foot and my back always hurts from leaning over. I wonder if shorter people have less injurys at work??

Tell me what to do, I graduate May 2006, so this is my last summer not working. Should I work part-time this summer as CNA ( I haven't worked in the field before, only clinicals)? Or, do I enjoy the last summer off with my 3 young children? I ca...

I got really lucky, I got to do a flu clinic first semester. I gave about 65 IM's. I am very thankful for the opportunity. After the first, they're a breeze.

My father felt very strongly about wanting to be a donor. At 63 he had a major CVA. I don't think people realize how hard it is to say goodbye when machines are still going beep, beep, beep. We have received letters about people who received organs...

I would not be allowed to put...r/t history of infection...I agree with "Risk for infection R/T surgical incision" or "Risk for infection R/T chronic disease process"..... concerning diabetes. I was taught no AEB is necessary.

You summed it up perfectly, haha:rotfl: Finishing one right now. Books and papers cover my table.

A study group can make a big difference. I am in a group of 5. Wouldn't do more than that. We meet 3-4X before each test and review material. You have to meet were there aren't distractions. Room at library is the best. We go through all the pow...

What about: Deficient Fluid Volume or Risk for Impaired Skin Integity or Imbalanced Nutrition:Less than body requirements

We are not allowed to use any clip board. I keep paper (I like using index cards in pocket for notes because they are sturdy) in my pocket. Even if you leave it in the hallway it's likely to get covered with all sorts of germs you don't want to bri...

I did all my pre-reqs and electives at night. I took my time waiting for my youngest of 3 to start Kindergarten. Now I go full time while she is in school. I had to do it this way. My husband works alot, no family around and NOOO money for babysi...

Just returned for the gyn with my 16yo daughter. She has the world's worst menstral cramps. She actually passed out yesterday from pain. The day before and the day she starts she pretty much lays on the floor in a ball and cries. I went with my daugh...

Thank you so much everyone. If BCP doesn't work, I will find a different Dr. I really appreciate you all. Thanks..:)

It KILLS me when I go into an office and EVERYONE is in scrubs. If you only answer the phones, you need not make all the children think you are a nurse. I could go on and on.......

Does anyone tape lectures? Do you find it helpful? If so, what tape recorder do you have and does the recorder have to be in the front row? A classmate last semester said all she did was listen to lectures, she says she didn't study for tests any ot...
