  1. Test your PEDS critical care knowledge

    neuroms replied to NotReady4PrimeTime's topic in PICU, Pediatric

    Not SJS...I would expect a STAT biopsy order; second the coag; maybe complex TSS. Fluids, pressor, igb, pain

  2. Help. Is my outrage justified?

    neuroms replied to fairandbalanced's topic in General Students

    Do you (everyone) think there's any room in nursing for accommodating different learning styles and modalities? I have always been a very traditional learner--sit down with the new AJN and funnel...

  3. Am I over-thinking, or are these just bad test questions?

    neuroms replied to chicken1's topic in General Students

    It's wrong. Also, I have never taken pause to question someone's reasoning just because he or she 'has more letters behind her name.' I just don't get it. What's the benefit to acting like you're...

  4. Am I over-thinking, or are these just bad test questions?

    neuroms replied to chicken1's topic in General Students

    Even considering that argument--that you're training the student to make quick "best" decisions with very, very poor quality input--the first question r/t pain is not even of that type and is wrong....

  5. Neutropenic pt W/other isoloation pt

    neuroms replied to rkitty198's topic in General Nursing

    That sounds seriously dangerous for patient outcomes. Think about systemic MRSA, C Diff, VRE. Do you have nurse councils? You guys should definitely approach the administration about the serious...

  6. Test your PEDS critical care knowledge

    neuroms replied to NotReady4PrimeTime's topic in PICU, Pediatric

    Ok, same patient. That second paragraph made my brain think

  7. Test your PEDS critical care knowledge

    neuroms replied to NotReady4PrimeTime's topic in PICU, Pediatric

    Intractable temp, resp. distress and nonpurulent, contact blistering. Have you gotten an LP? Hm, the Zosyn.. um...PCXR. CBC. First have to stabilise respiratory to get rid of secondary symptoms....

  8. At my boiling point...you are NOT a Nurse...of ANY kind!!!!

    neuroms replied to nursehunnie's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    First off, definitely illegal. But the underlying cause isn't so hard to understand. Any time there is a power dynamic in the healthcare setting between "Nurse" and "Other" that makes the title of...

  9. Learn To Say It Correctly!!

    neuroms replied to SheriLynnRN's topic in General Nursing

    A surgeon doesn't get mad at you, hopefully..., when you mispronounce or completely mangle a a technical term. We also should accept that our patients aren't healthcare workers and healthcare terms...

  10. Am I over-thinking, or are these just bad test questions?

    neuroms replied to chicken1's topic in General Students

    I actually enjoy questions with wording tricks and analytical, best-answer type questions. I do not enjoy anyone who insists that a clearly wrong answer is correct de

  11. Am I over-thinking, or are these just bad test questions?

    neuroms replied to chicken1's topic in General Students

    Referred pain, by definition, is neurogenic pain at a site away from the injury, usually to visceral tissues. Radiating pain has a central point and contiguous areas of pain extending away from the...

  12. Help. Is my outrage justified?

    neuroms replied to fairandbalanced's topic in General Students

    I love how many of our medical supplies are made of pigstuff. Not

  13. Help. Is my outrage justified?

    neuroms replied to fairandbalanced's topic in General Students

    Hey, I've read the Teachings of Don Juan; I know what those guys are all about, and I'm totally down with that. Kimbe has a parasitic worm that presents afebrile, bloody stool and emesis, tender ab,...

  14. Help. Is my outrage justified?

    neuroms replied to fairandbalanced's topic in General Students

    I'm talking more like Hudson et al. (2007) Protein-source tryptophan as an efficacious treatment for social anxiety disorder: a pilot study. That's not an actual challenge though. The field is dry of...

  15. Am I over-thinking, or are these just bad test questions?

    neuroms replied to chicken1's topic in General Students

    Haha. Nursing test questions are a dense, hazy mixture of teacher's homebrewed opinion and half-remembered textbook winding through a twisty maze of syntax-as-a-second-language with only the one true...

  16. Help. Is my outrage justified?

    neuroms replied to fairandbalanced's topic in General Students

    The only area I've heard of any actual research being done with pumpkin seeds is in the treatment of anxiety because of high concentrations of tryptophan--not like a good diet wouldn't already provide...

  17. Help. Is my outrage justified?

    neuroms replied to fairandbalanced's topic in General Students

    I've just finished my first semester and have found that nursing tests tend to be half knowledge and half knowing the professor's questions/lucky guessing. And it isn't just your program, you can't...

  18. Littmann alternatives

    neuroms replied to Skynet's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I've tried out the mid-range scopes for most of these brands, and I personally like the MDF scopes best overall. They have a really solid build quality (stainless steal even in their midrange scopes)...

  19. Best place to buy stethoscopes from....

    neuroms replied to mdcp's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    To repeat, DO NOT USE STETHOSCOPES.COM. This site is not a legitimate business. Luckily, my credit company didn't have a problem protecting my purchase, so I could buy from MediSave.com
