I'm a first year student and need a little assistance with this clinical simulation project that I'm supposed to do. There are 3 others in my group and I just had to post this to make sure we did it right. I'm almost positive theres stuff we left out...

O and since the woman is in menopause age we were going to r/o osteoporosis so the np was going to have labs ordered for these during our simulation. What labs besides electrolytes and bone density would be pertinent?

I want Nursing Central for my ipad for school but their cost is pretty steep to say the least. 160 dollars for a year? Seriously? Does this thing cook me breakfast, lunch, and dinner, as well? Is it worth it? What is the cost after the first yr to re...

I'm almost finished with prereqs to get into nursing school. I have a laptop but am drawn to the idea of owning an ipad 2 that i can carry around with ease. Should I buy an ipad 2? Is there any experiences out there that can help me make this decisi...

I work as a PCT at an ICU and just currently started nursing school. Last Thursday towards the end of shift I was waved into a room by a doctor. I rarely talk to the doctors at my job. It's not personal or anything like that. They know they don't nee...

Thank you everybody, again. I'm kind of at a laughing point in my process now. All your experiences are exactly what I needed to get to the laughing stage. I know I'll be faced with this again. Learning through experience has always given me the most...

I'm going to adopt your philosophy throughout my career. Much thanks. I am also a large and fit man. lol.

1) Walk in confident and stay confident. 2) Speak with conviction. 3) Don't study or try to anticipate questions before hand. 4) Dress appropriately. 5) Be you. Nobody else.

Yeah, I know all this. Just needed to hear it. Summary of events: *****. End of story.

O my God, 24? You are sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo old! Wrap it up your life is pretty much already over. GET REAL!!!!! COWBOY UP. YOU'RE TECHNICALLY NOT EVEN IN YOUR MID-TWENTIES!!!!!

Sorry, this is probably a stupid question but I'm tired of always wondering as a PCT how much of a drug nurses are talking about when referring to drug measurements in "units." Is it different amounts with different drugs? For example, 1 unit of insu...

Ok, so i start nursing school in a couple days and I have been busy buying all these many many books. My question revolves around two books: Lippincotts drug guide and Tabers cyclopedic medical dictionary. Together these two books cost like 45 to 50 ...

Your words are relishing in a manner of pain. The bounds of this world will hold pain in every corner if we cotinue to have the humbleness and humility to put ourselves in someone else's shoes. All I ask is you learn without being a sponge to what yo...

So I'm taking pharmacology this qrt. Right now I'm in my school's library kind of bummed out. I'm reading the chapter on drugs to treat hypertension. Theres all these new things being introduced to me that are kind of freaking me out a little. All th...

Thanks guys.

Thanks guys!

I'm an aid at the moment and currently in nursing school. What has been posted so far is on point. I've only been an aide now for a little over 5 months. I worked in LTC for 3 and now am working in an ICU. ANYWAYS... It is time to pull rank. I've bee...

Ok, I want to make this short. Yesterday I had to get a physical for an aide position I'm taking at a step down ICU. I'm currently in a community college a couple classes short of finishing my prereqs for the nursing program. I'm on a undetermined wa...

Hi I'm a nursing student working two jobs as a tech on ICU and aide at nursing home. I'm about a month into the jobs and being up on my feet 24/7 is already taking an amazing toll on my feet. I wake up in the morning and its really painful just to wa...

I kind of thought the same. Thank you.

Hello, To be quick I have currently worked for a long term care facility for about a month (nurse aide) part-time. I have now decided to take on another part-time Tech position working for a hospital in a step down ICU. I have not told my previous e...
