  1. Work as a CNA while in Nursing School?

    MomBak2Skool posted a topic in General Students

    Hi everyone! I've been reading posts for quite awhile and really enjoy hearing all of your experiences! I am a first semester nursing student and have been informed that at the end of this semester...

  2. Care Plan Question...Please Help!

    MomBak2Skool posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    My patient is an 80yo M with a history of HTN, DM, cirrhosis secondary to Hepatitis C, blindness, and dementia. He is hypokalemic (3.3) and thrombocytopenic (26,000). BUN is 84, creatinine is 3.5. Low...

  3. Care Plan Question...Please Help!

    MomBak2Skool replied to MomBak2Skool's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Actually, now I'm second guessing myself. "Electrolyte imbalance" isn't a REAL NANDA diagnosis...it's actually listed as "Risk for electrolyte imbalance". So I'm not sure if I should use electrolyte...

  4. Care Plan Question...Please Help!

    MomBak2Skool replied to MomBak2Skool's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    How about this for prioritizing?: 1. Ineffective breathing pattern... 2. Electrolyte imbalance... 3. Excess fluid volume... I really wanna put impaired skin integrity in there but I guess that would...

  5. Care Plan Question...Please Help!

    MomBak2Skool replied to MomBak2Skool's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Thank you so much for your responses! Esme12...do you mean I should include risk for ineffective renal perfusion? What other NANDA diagnoses could be used for renal failure (besides the excess fluid...

  6. "Risk for" when it's already present?? Confused...Please HELP me with these NANDAS!!!

    MomBak2Skool replied to MomBak2Skool's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Also, I have no diagnosis for my Genitourinary assessment. True, he is experiencing anuria as I saw him on Wednesday and he hadn't urinated since the Sunday before. But I looked at the impaired...

  8. "Risk for" when it's already present?? Confused...Please HELP me with these NANDAS!!!

    MomBak2Skool replied to MomBak2Skool's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'm still not happy with that diagnosis. I have others that I need to prioritize. Here are the ones I feel are most important, but I don't know which would be my #1, #2, and #3. Decreased cardiac...

  10. You're asking me what??

    MomBak2Skool replied to yooper13's topic in General Students

    I'm also in an ADN program, finishing up my first semester. We are expected to educate our client within the scope of our knowledge. Basically, anything we've learned so far in lectures and on-campus...

  11. Work as a CNA while in Nursing School?

    MomBak2Skool replied to MomBak2Skool's topic in General Students

    Thanks brillohead! That makes a lot of sense. Do you know anything about any differences in responsibilities between CNAs in an LTC facility vs in the hospital setting? Or are the responsibilities...

    Neither. But it's kind of hard to tell what her "tone" is when she speaks with such a heavy accent. Reading her face is a better interpretation of what she means. She seemed to be annoyed that we...

    Ostchega has a very thick accent, which I am a little worried about. But she seems nice enough, so maybe it won't be too much of a problem. Do you have 110 from 12-3:50 Nikki? You probably have at...
