    Has anyone, in the history of NCLEX, ever thought

    pockunit posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    "Aw yeah, I rocked that"? Just wondering. Every. single. person. I know who has taken it was convinced they failed. No exceptions. Sure, they had some questions that they knew the answer to, but...

    has anyone ever missed/skipped clinical?

    pockunit replied to citylights89's topic in General Students

    I missed one day this semester because of N/V/D and didn't want to get a pt sick. Other than that, I've sucked it up and gone in. We don't get enough hours on the floor doing pt contact, IMO. I don't...

    Are nurses forced to assist abortions?

    pockunit replied to lookingintoRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I would argue it's not the same thing because BC can be used for more than preventing pregnancy. Some people actually use it to GET pregnant. It's not the pharmacist's job to second-guess what the med...

    OMG I don't think I can do this job

    pockunit replied to Ado Annie's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Did anyone die? Is anyone going to be incapacitated because of the error? If not, YOU MUST RELAX. There isn't a nurse out there who hasn't made a med error. Anyone who tells you different is plain...

    Are nurses forced to assist abortions?

    pockunit replied to lookingintoRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I don't mean they've reversed their stance on abortion, just that previously, if the child were expected to live, they'd have said she should carry to term and sacrifice herself. I suspect in this...

    Are nurses forced to assist abortions?

    pockunit replied to lookingintoRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I suspect not because you really can't argue that the health of the mother isn't in danger here. The Catholic church once would have said that if it were possible for the mother to carry to term but...

    But wait! There's more. Listen, I do not disparage anyone for being anti-abortion or pro-choice. That's none of my business. But *get the facts* before putting that kind of stuff out there. I have...

    PS, hospitals are not governmental agencies and so would be exempt from this, *if it were enacted*. Hey, look, a Catholic newspaper even agrees with

    IF you believe every hysterical email forwarded to you by a partisan group, then you might want believe that it's *possible* for hopsitals to be required to perform abortions, but you'd have to...

    pockunit replied to lookingintoRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I don't know anyone who's been put in that position, but if your feelings are that strong, it should be an easy choice to make. TBS, if a nurse refuses to give care to a patient because that pt had an...

    Cardiac question help, please!

    pockunit posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I was re-reading the PPT from my cardiac class and there's a slide that just makes no sense to me. Test is on Monday, of course, so I can't ask the teacher then. "Important to note: 90% of oxygen...

    Cardiac question help, please!

    pockunit replied to pockunit's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Diastole is when atria fill, and once they reach a certain pressure/stretch, the pressure opens the valves and allows the blood to flow into the ventricles, right? So the pressure required to open...

    YES. Thanks so much! I think it's how the first part is written, i.e. poorly. So just to be sure I have this right: increased DBP --> increased LV workload,

    What was the lowest diastolic bp you have seen?

    pockunit replied to Florence NightinFAIL's topic in General Nursing

    Apparently I got to 90/50 on a Dilaudid PCA. I remember the nurse saying, "Yeaaaaah, you're gonna have to leave that button alone for a while." Opiate naive? WHO SAYS?? Not a BP, but I met a pt with...

    Tell me about your "brain" or "cheat sheet"

    pockunit replied to nurse_wannabe's topic in First Year After Licensure

    So I have this one that I've been using, and it's working okay but I know it will change depending on what floor I'm on. Right now, though, it gives me the down & dirty that I need for basic care....
