smooshcrickets

Hi everyone, I have a patient that has 6 open blister sites on her right lower extremity. One form my company uses has me list wound sites but does not have a diagram to visually pinpoint the wound sites. How would I correctly label each wound from t...

Sorry my fault, I didn't mention that this is an EMS form and is submitted online.

Lol I don't really smoosh them but I hate them! crickets just give me chills, I don't like how they can be 3 feet away but still have the potential to jump in your face. No!

There is a med-surg job opening in a hospital I found on indeed.com. I reviewed the hospital's website which looks great, however patient reviews I've found online are poor. Many reviewa have the same opinion about doctors and nurses being incompeten...

thanks everyone for your great insights. I'll be checking for employee reviews and will apply to this hospital among all the others to keep my options open

great advice, I actually found this job opening on indeed.com and didn't know that I could find employee reviews. I'll be checking on this tonight.

so I said "No Sir, I'm just the student nurse." And he said "no, you are a NURSE." I thought about it... and one panic attack later I'm now talking to you

Doubting myself all started when I accidentally sat in the doctor's chair

Why am I here today doctor? Because I'm a nurse.

I just learned about therapeutic techniques and now none of my friends or family will speak to me

Well doctor, the panic attack started when we were being tested on relaxation techniques

I flushed the IV with 10ml of saline instead of 5ml as ordered. I hope my patient doesn't get fluid volume overload because of me.

In my dream I was all in white trapped in a room with alarms going off and people running around with tubing and needles by the handfuls... then I realized I wasn't dreaming...

And then my instructor asked me "are they compatible?"

I have a 1ml Testosterone IM injection and a 1ml B12 IM injection to give monthly to a patient. I have been injecting both into one deltoid muscle, about 2 inches apart from each other. Is this okay in order to avoid having two sore arms? The patient...

Hi everyone, I just started an LVN-ADN bridge program this year. Our LVNs joined the 2nd year ADN students this fall semester and last week was our first day of clinical rotations in the med-surg unit of a hospital. The 2nd year ADNs, those that have...

I have a hard time understanding information for the first time. What I do is I go over one simple piece of material that I already know, like hyperglycemia, until I am a pro at it. Then, when my brain is going nuts while tackling a concept that is ...

Hi everyone, I just received an acceptance letter to Rio Hondo's LVN to ADN program for this summer. I feel like I can breathe normally again :) The school has scheduled me for the TEAS test on Thursday, April 12th. I was wondering if anyone in the n...

RonnieDita, what orientation is this?

Whew! Took the TEAS mid April and passed. My palms were sweaty but it's such a relief to get it over with. I took 5 practice tests on the science section and consistently got a 75% which was disappointing. I was surprised to see that the actual TEAS...

Hi everyone, I also applied to Citrus College in February but haven't received any response letter. I applied for the LVN-ADN program. I got into Rio Hondo's program so if in case I was lucky enough to get into Citrus's program, I will be declining i...

Hi Mz. Solo, congrats to you and everyone else that got in to RHC! I also got accepted and am scheduled to take the TEAS on April 12th. I got the McGraw-Hill's 5 TEAS practice tests book off of Amazon that I'm going to start working on this week. I h...

I read my acceptance letter to RHC yesterday :) Will be joining some of you in the summer LVN transition class! @Denisenike, I like your positive attitude, I hope you receive some good news from the other programs you've applied to Is anyone else sch...

Hello All, I am in search of information that pre-, current, and post-students have of West Coast University. No need for opinions regarding the high cost of the BSN program, I've read through many of those posts and got my tour at West Coast in Onta...

Three 8oz cans of Jevity is prepared in the G-tube feeding and runs at 50ml/hour. Every so often, by the afternoon, the consistency gets thickened, almost like coagulated blood, and the machine starts getting errors. This doesn't happen all the time ...
