Yes, this is an assignment. I have been on this question for 2 hours and cannot find an answer that I am happy with. Here is the question. A patient has had abdominal surgery to repair a perforated bowel. The doctor has ordered normal saline for ...

I know this has been stated many times throughout this discussion, but I will repeat... As a nurse we will repeatedly come in contact with patients who have different values and morals than our own. It would be a pretty boring life if everyone belie...

Took the NLEX yesterday. I had 24 sata, a couple exhibit, a couple drag and drop, one ekg, tons of priority and teaching, and zero math. Test stopped at 75 and I walked away feeling defeated and like I definitely failed. As of an hour ago, I have an ...

I had a number of different types of meds, and at least one that I have never even seen or recognized before. Be sure to know side effects and teaching involving all med classes.

I found it...never mind :)

Can someone give me the link to the 2 week free passpoint trial? I can't seem to find it in any of the post today :)

Maybe this question WAS important to the op? So, who gets to decide what topic is important enough? You? I see nothing wrong with the question being asked. If it is unimportant to you then skip it :)

I will be graduating this May and have submitted my online application and hand delivered my resume to the local hospital that I really want to work in after passing NCLEX. There is a current opening in the unit that I did my 12 week senior capstone...

Yes, that is possible.

I just saw that you said to email her...that's a good idea :)

Yes, I submitted the online application. After finishing my clinical rotation my preceptor spoke to the unit manager about me and she was told to have me bring in my resume. I took my resume to the unit manager 6 days ago and sat down and spoke wit...

oops...forgot to quote the post

actually...that's a turdnado

I will be graduating this May with my BSN at 42 years old. I appreciate the OP's opinion, however I want to be a nurse :) Someone mentioned that many new nurses or soon-to-be graduates state that they do not want bedside nursing, or expect to not h...

I also feel the email was appropriate. You stated that you arrived to clinical wearing the required clothing and that your appearance was professional. Unlike you, some of your classmates didn't feel it was necessary or for what other reason to dress...

I agree. Try to relax and do something special for yourself. Once classes start you will be busy with reading, homework, studying, clinical and whatever else they throw at you :) Weekends will usually be filled with reading/studying, so now is the b...

I was placed in Hospice/Home Health care for six clinical rotations. I'm not sure if all agencies are the same, but the one I was at requires experience prior to being hired. New graduates are not hired at this specific facility. I think 2 years exp...

This post just makes me sad on so many levels... granted I am still a student, but what ever happened to empathy, compassion, and non-judgmental thinking? It is so cold out this time of year...I would probably be the same way if I was cold, hungry, ...

My dad had COPD and died of emphysema in 2004. In advanced COPD just about EVERYTHING will cause the patient to be SOB. Becoming SOB is a scary feeling for patients and I think your patient is afraid of bringing about shortness of breath (by leaving ...

I got straight A's in my prerequisites...had a 4.0 actually. Then nursing school happened :) I'm still a decent student, but A's are very rare, B's make me jump for joy, and C's I'm completely OK with. Not only do I think the content is harder, but...

It's hard to believe that my senior year is about to start! I am feeling a mixture of excitement and horror! LOL I have worked so hard to get where I am. I am a non-traditional student. I am 41, been married for 18 years and have four children in th...

The group we did during psych rotation involved the season fall. It was last year in October, so we talked about fall colors and showed them large pictures of fall colors, like trees with orange/brown leaves. We talked about pumpkin carving and jumpi...

I am sorry you are going through this. I'm sure your grandma would want you to succeed and do well in school. I understand that you love her but you need to look at your future as well. I'm sorry I do not have the answer to solve your problem, but I ...

Med Surg II was my most difficult class so far. I am usually an A/B student, but found myself with a C- toward the middle of the semester. That is not a passing grade and I was terrified that I would fail the class. I only had one exam left to add to...

During pre-reqs I NEVER read a page of any textbook and passed with all A's by studying notes and powerpoints. My first year of the nursing program I did the same and passed with all A's and B's. The second year of the program I tried this again and ...
