  1. Impaction in toddlers?

    QuilterLPN replied to sherichance's topic in General Nursing

    Tiffy RN has hit the nail on the head. These kids (even if they don't have Aspergers) can often retain the BM, just because they can and little kids want control over something. Then the colon...

  2. Diamonds in school?

    QuilterLPN replied to JoniL&DRN's topic in General Students

  4. Craft ideas for nurse students?

    QuilterLPN replied to nurscee's topic in General Nursing

    I have seen really cute beaded nametags that people put on their stethoscopes. The hook on at the point were the ear-tubes join into one piece, and there are little letter-beads that spell out the...

    QuilterLPN replied to mkf0605's topic in General Nursing

    I'm just a student, but we had a lecture specifically about this type of matter. Our instructions were to document everything that happens. Then turn around and write up an incident report. Do not...

  6. lice/nits electronic combs

    QuilterLPN replied to renerian's topic in General Nursing

    OK, as the mother of 2 elementary- age kids, I am rapidly becoming too familiar with this topic. The electronic comb that is sold locally is about $25, and it will kill live bugs. As far as I could...

  7. Shared eye drops/multiple patients

    QuilterLPN replied to switcher's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    what about using a new sterile dropper for each patient, that way you can have one bottle of drug, but several droppers that are discarded after each

    QuilterLPN posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hello everyone, I am looking for a good nclex-rn study guide. I'd like one with a CD so I can answer questions on my 'puter, and I'd like a guide that has the new-format questions. What books have...

    QuilterLPN replied to QuilterLPN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hey, thanks for the replies! I won't be taking the boards till next summer, but I want to spend a little time everyday looking at test questions until then.

  10. Ethical dilemma-caring for a criminal. what would you do?

    QuilterLPN replied to iamlovingit's topic in General Nursing

    I have considered this topic myself, as a crime victim of sorts. I have a child that was sexually abused, and living in a small town, wondered if I would ever be called upon to be the nurse of this...

  12. Help!!!

    QuilterLPN replied to arkansas_girl's topic in General Nursing

    One thing my teacher addressed (in nursing, not A&P, thought), was the increased availability of oral contraceptives. So that if a young woman is using the pill, why bother with a condom? Also,...

  13. How many books do you have to buy?

    QuilterLPN replied to Truly_Blessed's topic in General Students

    LOTS! I think we had at least 15 required,then another 5 or so recommended. My first year I spent approximately $800 on books. The good news is that when I start my RN year this fall I will only need...

  14. About skipping the last clinical

    QuilterLPN replied to HyperRNRachel's topic in General Students

    I wouldn't do it - in our program we would have to be on our own deathbed to miss a clinical day. I believe if we miss two, then we have to start making up time. However, I've gone one year now and...

  15. Sony Versus Olympus

    QuilterLPN replied to trakstar's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    We were just discussing digital voice recorders in the student nurse forum. After reading all I could about the many brands, it seems like the Olympus ds330 has all the things that I'm looking for....

  16. Feeling like I blew it!

    QuilterLPN replied to lisamc1RN's topic in General Nursing

    Okay, I've been a lurker for quite a while, but I had to add my two cents! While I was in the process of completing my pre-req's and applying to nursing school, my husband had an "episode". He...
