  1. priority nursing questions

    pippylockstocking replied to Amber0515's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Also want to add, that if your Surgeon would be downright ****** at you if you did not notify him of temp greater than 101, increased pain, and increased

  2. priority nursing questions

    pippylockstocking replied to Amber0515's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I would say the answer is Notify the Physician... you have post-op infection going on... for answers A & B they are both correct too, but you need a physician's order to do those things... and...

  3. How come people portray nursing so negatively on here?

    pippylockstocking replied to Spikey9001's topic in General Nursing

    funny... you sound exactly like me BEFORE i entered nursing school... you even have the same reasons including the feeling like our job makes a difference.. In my honest and humble opinion, it all...

  4. To drink or not to drink

    pippylockstocking replied to ArmyMomJo's topic in General Nursing

    holy cow... Ive never heard of this or seen this. When you get an order for this where do you get the alcohol from? It's not like pharmacy has a fully stocked bar full of brandy, wiskey, vodka? or...

  5. IV push concerns

    pippylockstocking replied to eyeball's topic in First Year After Licensure

    From what your original post said... personally I do not think this was "sloppy" at all. She was teaching you a little trick to spend your time wisely. 1) I assume you have computerized charting...

  8. Calling out sick. How much notice?

    allergy sufferer here too... Unfortunately this time, it's is a bad URI. I was wearing a mask. But the hospital has the heat cranked on, and the air is so dry, that I just couldn't control my...

  9. Nurse Mentor----can you adopt me?

    pippylockstocking replied to Frazzled_One's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    As far as I knew, all nursing schools are like this. Our school was infamous for this. There's always 4 right answers but only 1 best answer. The rationale for this is to develop and improve your...

  10. Lab analysis

    pippylockstocking replied to rhenson's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Oh also forgot to mention.. if you really want to get specific... Lovenox can cause a risk for bleeding. You'd want to watch the patient's Hematocrit levels. If they sharply decrease then you have...

  11. Lab analysis

    pippylockstocking replied to rhenson's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I would say that the lower RBC count may be attributed to surgical hemorrorhage and hemolysis, both of which are to be expected during an invasive GI procedure. If the patient never had a history of...

  12. Help with math

    pippylockstocking replied to bananimal's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  13. Help with math

    pippylockstocking replied to bananimal's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    This is the only way I know how to solve the math problems. Im not sure if it's the "dimensional analysis" thing... but this is how I learned to do them. You always use this equation: Desired / Have...

  14. 0.45% NS is Hypernatremia?

    pippylockstocking replied to CBsMommy's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Someone else may have already said this, but I think it depends too on the patient's fluid volume status. If the patient is hypovolemic then hypotonic solutions are not recommended until the patient...

    pippylockstocking replied to mikeworksRN's topic in General Nursing

    Oh I have heard of Epic... have only used it briefly... can't tell you what to expect. But check my post regarding the docs and their reluctancy to use CPOE. They always try ways to get out of it....

    pippylockstocking replied to Kitty Hawk's topic in General Nursing

  19. Electronic Charting Question

    pippylockstocking replied to mikeworksRN's topic in General Nursing

    Biggest issue is with CPOE ( Computerized Physician Order Entry ) or "K-poe" as some will like to pronounce it. The docs don't like having to enter their own orders. They will avoid for as long as...

    pippylockstocking replied to Kitty Hawk's topic in General Nursing
