I've done these before but for some reason I'm blanking out on how to complete this problem. I usually use dimensional analysis and I can't remember how to set it up. 1. The order is to infuse 1000 units heparin per hour from an available solut...

I used to be fulltime, now per diem but about to leave. 40 bed unit, 4 nurses on day and evening (10 pt), 2-3 on nights. Very acute conditions, most are really just used as overflow from med-surg. They send over the difficult patients, the ones who n...

Do you have a set protocol at your school? Background: Yesterday a counselor brought a 9th grade student to my office who had been attacked by her father the night before. police had been called, she filed a police report but apparently they left her...

In the past - Teachers have never seemed to report. They always call me or the counselor to "deal with it" basically after the student confides something in them. The AP told the medical director she shouldn't have gone back to class because "what if...

Elementay school - early-mid 90s, I loved the nurse's office. She always had the radio on softly and was momish, and just made me feel better. I loved laying there and listening to her bustle around. I didn't go often though, I wasn't a frequent flie...

Librarian. I even got into an MS in Library Science program, but couldn't attend due to logistics right away (in another city) and then got the nursing bug in the meantime

i remembered it as soon as i thought about it for a couple mins. Just been awhile since I've done these type.The DA method just works best for my brain that's why i use it. I've taken algebra, stats, all that fun stuff. I just had a brain fart and wa...

I'm currently a nursing student, about to begin my second semester. I have been interested in school nursing since day 1. Obviously, one would need experience in the field prior to school nursing since there is much more autonomy there than say, in a...

I'm about to begin my 2nd semester in nursing school and my beloved stethoscope recently broke because of my own fault (i got it free from someone, there wasn't even a brand name on it!) and so I'm in the market for a new one. I don't know if I shoul...

Teaching jobs are even harder to find...that was my first career choice. I live in western NY state and there is NOTHING for teachers. 75% of my college friends (we went to the #1 teacher's college in the state) have had to move south to get teaching...

there are terrible bosses/supervisors in every job, place, and field. The best advice is just to do what they want, or look for a different position so that she won't be your boss anymore. She does sound like a witch, I don't blame you for being frus...

Thanks for your response. I went to a couple local stores the ones there were packaged and they wouldn't let me open them. I don't know anyone with either; a friend of mine has a littman but not either of those 2. Classes haven't started back up yet ...

thank you so much for that info! I was confused on what that title actually was because you don't see it very often.

Hennaci - pronounced like the liquor.

I'm only 5'2 as well and get CHerokee petite's. They fit pretty well!

I am NOT pregnant and don't plan to be while in school. However, I am curious if anyone has been or knows of someone who was pregnant while in nursing school. I have a friend who became an RN in 2006; she graduated in April and her son was born in Au...

whenever I go to my doctor's office I see the NP. I rarely see the MD anymore. I think they play a good role as a doctor substitute in the PCP or office setting.

Well I agree with you. And as someone who has lived abroad (spent much of my teen years living in Asia, and I also have a Chinese stepmother now, who just came over to America this past May, and a 7 yr old half brother who lived in China until he was...

yea i would understand if every other day they were using that excuse (and if they really WERE having them that often then I think they need to start on the road to disability!) That would be ridiculous! But if it really was only 1x a month then that...

Congrats on the new job! I think that is fine. Do you contractually have to give a certain amount of notice? Here you don't have to technically give any; they can fire you at any time but you can quit at any time too.

I think the migraine is a legitimate excuse. I've never had one but they can be extremely debilitating. It's not the same as calling off because you have to pick someone up from the airport. It's a legit medical excuse. Some people can work through t...

I never considered medical school, I know I would hate it! Nursing is so much more holistic and "people oriented" than medicine is, and I am driven by that. I have had some family say "you're smart enough to be a doctor!" so yes i think in general pe...

I'm in NY too, in Rochester. I went to SUNY Geneseo for my first BA degree and now I'm at Monroe Community College for my nursing degree. Like I said it's ALL based on your quality points to get accepted there. So the better your grades in the "pre r...

i already had a BA degree in another field when I entered nursing school (which is at a community college). They didn't take those grades into consideration for my GPA but they did include all the pre-req classes I took at the CC prior to getting acc...

anyone else have an experience?
