  1. My HIPAA mistake.

    LCinTraining replied to somenurse's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I'm still not convinced this was a HIPAA violation. T already spoke to your guy about the upcoming surgery, and basically made his wishes known he wanted him involved. You calling on your lunch break...

  2. My patient called me a "flunkie" today..... -_-

    LCinTraining replied to FaithGurl93's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    Just be polite, and if he keeps kicking people out then admin will have to deal with

  3. People say the funniest things in school...

    LCinTraining replied to Joe V's topic in General Students

    it is a centuries old practice. Long before the advent of pills or suppositories women have been shoving strange things in there to combat pain issues lol. Who got the idea originally? Now that's a...

  4. Help me describe this lung sound

    LCinTraining posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I only heard it once before on a patient at work and showing my nurse she didn't hear it. So today at clinical my patient had the same sound. It was an expiratory sound. Deep tone, almost slow rumble....

    LCinTraining replied to Joe V's topic in General Students

    Well, the probiotics question isn't THAT stupid. Women have been douching with plain yogurt since long before my great grandmammy, then they discovered the gel caps of it work well as a suppository...

  6. Help me describe this lung sound

    LCinTraining replied to LCinTraining's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Thanks for the help guys. It's not required to know anything but that it's "abnormal" this semester, however, next I think is when they up the anty and require us to know the specific sounds, so I'm...

  7. Help me describe this lung sound

    LCinTraining replied to LCinTraining's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I thought maybe ronchi because of the expiratory but that I'm familiar with and this didn't sound like

  8. Help me describe this lung sound

    LCinTraining replied to LCinTraining's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Yes. Always on bare skin. I ran EMS for a while so although there was the rare case I didn't do on bare skin, I'm pretty familiar with the fabric rubbing sound. However, hospital gowns are so easy to...

    LCinTraining replied to LCinTraining's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  10. Help me describe this lung sound

    LCinTraining replied to LCinTraining's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    That's exactly what it sounded like! I only heard it in the upper lobes though. Both times I've heard it I only heard it there. I think it makes sense that I wouldn't hear it today as there is a lung...

  12. Failed dosage calc

    LCinTraining posted a topic in General Students

    Failed dosage calc (probably something silly like rounding wrong), and family falling apart around me. Friends keep trying to placate me about dosage calc. "Oh, it's ok". Sure it's ok. I just have to...

  13. Failed dosage calc

    LCinTraining replied to LCinTraining's topic in General Students

    I use dimensional analysis. I will find out my exact error when I take the class. I'm not too concerned yet. I have three kids one who may be in the spectrum, he goes for testing in January, and one...

  14. Curious about catheters

    LCinTraining replied to ConstantlyEvolving's topic in General Students

    When I was a nanny we had to cath her four times a day. She was two years old and hated laying still. I got to where I could hit the target in a blink, she would climb back upright and drain standing...

  16. Failed dosage calc

    LCinTraining replied to LCinTraining's topic in General Students

    I did do an EMT program located just blocks from my house. I was gone two hours twice a week. I rarely had to study. Now I am gone from 5:30 pr 7:00 (depending on the day) until 4 daily for school and...

  17. Therapeutic Communication

    LCinTraining posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    We have this assignment where we have to have a ten minute long conversation with a patient. We then go back, write as much down, word for word as we can remember in columns. One column for the...

    Thanks for the input all. I think it makes more

  19. Help with this concept map

    LCinTraining replied to LCinTraining's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I have Cox's diagnosis book. Nothing was fitting with the information I had related to her family or her impending death. I guess I didn't ask enough questions. But I had my reasons for that. Right or...

  20. Failed dosage calc

    LCinTraining replied to LCinTraining's topic in General Students

    I've done the problems. I've done quite well with my practice. Missed only a few and figured out my mistakes without asking for help. My confidence is fine with it. I know my mind was simply not where...

  21. a&p II and micro in same semester?

    LCinTraining replied to mee9mee9's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yup, and moved and started a new job the same semester. Landed an A and a B respectfully. Just do your work

  22. Therapeutic Communication

    LCinTraining replied to LCinTraining's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    So the fact that anyone could wish them well makes this stereotypical

  23. Therapeutic Communication

    LCinTraining replied to LCinTraining's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Ok, explain what made that obvious. I feel like a dolt lol. The example given for stereotypes is "cat got your tongue?"So, wishing them well is considered non therapeutic, which I kind of understand...

  24. Palative Care Still Raw

    LCinTraining posted a topic in General Students
