  1. Pre-grad blues :(

    Blu rose replied to onthejourney's topic in General Students

    I am starting my pre-grad in two days and I feel exactly like you do even before starting it. I feel incompetent. I am afraid of making mistakes...I have not made one in my previous clinical...

  2. Priority assessment..Respiratory or cardiovascular?

    Blu rose posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Hi, I am having trouble figuring out which one would be the priority assessment for a patient with eating disorders and having shortness of breath + hypokalemia. Would it be respiratory? I thought I...

  3. Roy model- step 1 (help needed)

    Blu rose posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Hi allnurses, Could anyone please tell me if 'weakness' is a nursing problem? I have a patient with weakness in lower extremities. So, I guess it goes under both 'activity and rest' and neurological...

  4. Priority assessment..Respiratory or cardiovascular?

    Blu rose replied to Blu rose's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    It makes sense. I was thinking that eventhough cardiovascular assessment is a priority in this case, your first intervention will be to administer oxygen and then, get an order to start an IV, right?...

  5. Roy model- step 1 (help needed)

    Blu rose replied to Blu rose's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    It's not like I did not go through my books. The thing is that either the list of nursing problems is not complete in the books (I have two medical-surgical books) or weakness is simply not an...

  6. Roy model- step 1 (help needed)

    Blu rose replied to Blu rose's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I am sorry for my late reply. I did try to look in NANDA online but, they need you to pay for the registration, so, I didn't see it :$ I have a list of nursing diagnoses but, I don't think it's...

  7. Priority assessment..Respiratory or cardiovascular?

    Blu rose replied to Blu rose's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Thanks for the suggestion :) We don't have NCLEX in Canada,

  8. Priority assessment..Respiratory or cardiovascular?

    Blu rose replied to Blu rose's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Well, the potassium level is low- 2.9 mEq/L and I don't have the reading for oxygen saturation on the scenario (I would get it first if it was a real patient). Whatever you said makes perfect sense. I...

  9. Priority assessment..Respiratory or cardiovascular?

    Blu rose replied to Blu rose's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I agree that the data given is insufficient. If this was a 'real' patient, I would get more lab work but, with a scenario written on a piece of paper, you can just make assumptions. Oh, how come I...

  10. Priority assessment..Respiratory or cardiovascular?

    Blu rose replied to Blu rose's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I agree! Thanks for your input

  11. Nursing dx & careplan help

    Blu rose replied to smansur's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    The blood pressure is 189/68. What body system do you think is affected? Which nursing diagnosis from NANDA can fit it? You could actually get more information through a physical assessment. Is the...

  12. Roy model- step 1 (help needed)

    Blu rose replied to Blu rose's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    In this case, weakness is definitley a problem for the patient as it results in difficulty walking. Just to clarify myself, I was wondering if weakness is listed under NANDA as a nursing problem or...

  13. So besides nursing school, what do you all do in your spare time?

    Blu rose replied to i<3u's topic in General Students

    I listen to music (well, even while studying) and sleep (I miss sleeping peacefully like before starting nursing

  14. Clinical Instructor site problems...need ideas

    Blu rose replied to sexyrn1's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Last semster, my clinical instructor got sick so, we didn't go to the clinical. She gave us some make up assignments instead. She gave us many scenarios with loads of information about the patient and...

  15. what would you have done?

    Blu rose replied to mommywithplenty's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I think you did the right think because patient safety is a nurse's top

  16. Charting

    Blu rose replied to Bean21's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Well, charting as you do things may be a good idea but, real life nursing can be really busy and you might not get the chance to chart after providing care to each client (that's what my clinical...

  17. am i really for nursing?

    Blu rose replied to ading's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Hi, This is what I do when am at clinical. 1. As soon as I go into the patient's room, I look at their skin (see if it looks normal, blue or pale). 2. Check if they respond to opening of the door,...

  18. Charting

    Blu rose replied to Bean21's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I do my charting at the end of the shift to make sure I chart everything I did. Presently, we are required to write a progress note listing the care provided, any important information found (edema,...

  19. Medical diagnosis confusion

    Blu rose posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Hi, I've been assigned a patient whose chart has 'posterior fossa extra and intradural globus jugular resection' as the medical diagnosis. Even the speech therapist had typed the same thing in her...

  20. Medical diagnosis confusion

    Blu rose replied to Blu rose's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    EricJRN, from what you said, I think I should stick to the original diagnosis typed on the patient's chart. Also, in either case, the priority assessment would be neurological, right? Thank you for...

  21. Medical diagnosis confusion

    Blu rose replied to Blu rose's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I see! Thank you,

  22. How do I get along well with my clinical instructor?

    Blu rose replied to Hellostudentnurssee's topic in General Nursing

    Well, you don't need to be scared of her. You are there to learn and if you don't get your questions answered, how are you going to do that? You have some rights as a student. If at any time you feel...

  23. Nursing School versus the work field

    Blu rose replied to nurseonmission's topic in General Nursing

    Did you like or hate what you did at your placement? I think this question is important to reflect on because you will be doing those things as a nurse after

  24. make up?

    Blu rose replied to butterfly134's topic in General Nursing

    I know a couple of patients who are scared of nurses with artificial nails

  25. What's wrong with kids today? (and I'm not even that old)

    Blu rose replied to Florence NightinFAIL's topic in General Nursing

    That's sad! I'm in my early twenties and even I don't like many people in my age group (those I know). The good thing is that not everybody is rude
