I am also interested in this area, I am a junior nursing student. Wondering what the stress level is like ? I like to keep busy and all but definitely not meant for the ER or anything like that lol so i was looking into OB. Plus I think it would be exciting to work with moms, especially first time moms who need patient education. However, this is all specualtion as i have not had my OB clinical yet

Which would be the priority nursing diagnosis ? Risk for suicide or ineffective health maintenance? I currently have a psych pt who has a history of previous suicide attempts and was admitted when he posted suicidal suggestive comments on fb, but denies any SI. His other main issue is non compliance with meds. He has diabetes and when at home did nothing to manage it. DId not take his insulin, did not manage his diet. Was admitted to ER on one ocassion with bg of 600. In my eyes, either one could kill him... so which would take priority ? thanks in advance

Hey everyone. I'm going to be taking Pharm/pathophysiology this semester and I have heard from many that is a very difficult class. My professor has suggested we set aside 9 hours for studying and review every week IN ADDITION to class time. That seems a little extreme for me not to mention I dont have that much time, I am taking other classes and also work part time. As of right now, I am taking 3 classes in addition to that one. they include nursing interventions, psych nursing, and wellness to illness. I was thinking about adding a core class (religion) but was not sure if it would be a good idea:uhoh3: So I either have to take that extra class now and have 5 classes altogether (incl pharm) or i can just leave my schedule as is and i would have to take 5 classes next semester, those classes would be like a child bearing class , med surg (which i heard is also very hard) and others. any suggestions would be appreciated... thanks !

I have the potter and perry textbook, not lab book. Im assuming their similar.. but thank you!

btw, does anyone have any recommendations as to where i should read up on the basic nursing skills ? thanks in advance :)

thanks for all the helpful tips !

So i am starting my first clinical (geriatrics) in about a week and am kind of nervous. I have never worked in a health care setting before and am just not sure what to expect. any advice or pointers for me ? i'm also kind of shy

okay thanks for the help. I think i am just going to keep the activity intolerance since i already started and presentation is due tomorrow i just have a question about the nursing interventions and rationales. are these suppose to be taken out of the book (nursing diagnosis handbook , ackley & ladwig) or do i make them up or what? Also, some of the interventions in the book for activity intolerance do not have rationales ... what do i do about that ? i am suppose to have a rationale for each nursing diagnosis. thanksss in advance !

Hey guys im doing my first care plan (group presentation, 1 ns diagnosis per person) and have to come up with a nursing diagnosis for a young jewish mother of 2 toddlers who has been diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. This is what i came up withe for the diagnosis part: activity intolerance r/t generalized weakness and fatigue aeb inability to perform daily physical activities. i was wondering if the related factors have to be listed in the nanda book or not because i used fatigue as a realted factor although it is not listed. also id like to know if my aeb is too broad ? should i make it more specific such as "aeb patient verbalization of weakness/ exhaustion?" all help is appreciated ... please let me know anything else im missing my teacher did not explain this very well!!

general chemistry, developmental psych, microbio, a&p 1 and 2.

do clinical sites test for mj ?

I disagree .. but anyways no one really answered my question .. is this going to affect my progress in nursing school or job opportunities in the future ?

Okay so I am in my second year of college and I just got accepted in to the school of nursing. Two weeks ago for my art history class i was assigned to write a paper which entailed a visit to a museum in new york ( i live in ct). Long story short, i didnt have time to make it to the museum so i went online to the gallery's website and wrote my paper on objects that i looked at online. Come to find out that one of the objects i wrote about was not on display at the museum, only online. I got an email from my teacher two weeks later telling me that i did not visit the museum and have therefore committed academic dishonesty. She gave me a zero for the assignment which is ten percent of my grade and i now have a permanent record in my file. I met with someone from the school of nursing and she emphasized that this was a big concern for the school of nursing etc etc. I was just wondering is this going to affect my progress in nursing school or even job opportunities in the future ? I understand i should have went to the museum to look at the objects but it seems to me a bit much to call it academic dishonesty ... its not like i copied someones work or used someone else's paper... they were all my original ideas. only difference is i looked at the objects at home instead of the museum. i meant no harm by this i simply did not have time to make it to the museum:uhoh3: if anything i feel like the professor should have given me a zero but not report it as academic dishonesty. i feel like i will now be labeled as a cheater/plagiarizer .. which is not what i am! please help .. has anyone had any similar situations??
