  1. Will never write order again w/o permission from doc

    adnrnstudent replied to *Posh*'s topic in General Nursing

    Well my interpretation based on how the original poster described it is that daughter was arriving at 1 and it was okay to terminate after that. What if the daughter had showed up late, would anyone...

  3. Good large shoes for male nurses?

    adnrnstudent replied to Jeremiah11's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I wear a 12 4E. New Balance is good about making shoes for wide feet. 1 thing you gotta be careful if buying a Kohl's. I think Kohl's has a line exclusive to them. They have (or at least had) a...

  4. As a patient, is it okay to suggest a vein for IV?

    adnrnstudent replied to Lahryn04's topic in General Nursing

    When I'm in the hospital, I tell them how many units of insulin to give me versus what they want to give. I tell them if they don't listen to my scale versus their scale, they will force me to pull...

  5. Reapply a Fentanyl Patch?

    adnrnstudent replied to wifeandmomoftwo's topic in Patient Medications

    I used to sell Duragesic (Fentanyl) for J&J before it went generic. Not sure on the generic patch versus when it was branded, but that patch may no longer be effective. Patches do come off...

  6. Any College of Dupage nursing students out there? Or hopefuls?

    adnrnstudent replied to RscodADN10's topic in Illinois Nursing

    BTW. I'd hold off on your drug book until Fall. By then the 2012 editions will be out. I got my 2011 edition when I started in Fall '10. It won't make a big difference though if you already have a...

  9. Any College of Dupage nursing students out there? Or hopefuls?

    adnrnstudent replied to RscodADN10's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Just don't buy used books because they are changing the Nursing Fundamentals book completely, not just the edition, and I think the Med-Surg book is going to be just a new edition, but I'm not 100% if...

  10. Is there chicago cna position that pays $10 or more per hour?

    adnrnstudent replied to RescueNinja2013's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

  11. College of Dupage letters mailed - Fall 2010

  13. Nursing Dx help?

    adnrnstudent replied to FrazzledButBlessed's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Assuming GI Bleed, I'd go Deficient Fluid Volume. My rational since Mike R is opposite of me, and I am in no way saying he's wrong, is I looked up GI Bleed in my Ackley book and DFV was listed, not...

  14. Care Plan - All these Nursing Dx opposite of what I want

    adnrnstudent posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Why are all of the Nursing Dx the exact opposite of what I want? Had patient in for Chemotherapy. He has not had any nausea, but receiving meds prophylactically. I'd like to make a Nursing Dx - Risk...

  15. Care Plan - All these Nursing Dx opposite of what I want

    adnrnstudent replied to adnrnstudent's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I appreciate your reply, but here's the problem. We 1st list several potential N Dx and I have all those listed, and we put them in an order of priority. Then we take the top 2 priorities and...

  16. Care Plan - All these Nursing Dx opposite of what I want

    adnrnstudent replied to adnrnstudent's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Just to elaborate a little more and let me focus in on Nausea. There isn't a "Risk for Nausea" but there is a "Nausea". If I select Nausea then I have to have a "as manifested by", but patient doesn't...

    adnrnstudent replied to mamayogibear's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    You are saying PCT Programs, I have never seen a PCT Program, are you looking for CNA Programs? I'm in Chicago suburbs, a PCT here is simply a CNA given a different title. PCT hospital, CNA Nursing...
