    Praying when you don't mean it

    Clovery posted a topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Do you think it's wrong or offensive to pray with a patient if you don't believe in that religion (or any religion)? For example, I am an atheist but I was raised a Catholic, and went to Catholic...

    Criminal Background check

    Clovery replied to loo2006's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    OP that sucks - I'm sorry you have to deal with this all over again. I'd think that since you were never convicted of anything they can't hold it against you, but that's just pure speculation on my...

    Law and Order: SVU = studying.

    Clovery replied to grownuprosie's topic in General Students

    I remember that episode of SVU! There was another episode about Tay-Sachs disease which also came in handy. During psych, I found I already know a lot about mental disorders from movies and

    surgery/OR questions

    Clovery replied to Clovery's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Clovery replied to Clovery's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Ethical Exam Question

    Clovery replied to oschaus's topic in General Students

    I think the most important thing would be to treat the patient that is there, not concern yourself with other unknown people who only have the potential of having a disease. Why would obtaining a list...

    Ethical Exam Question

    Clovery replied to oschaus's topic in General Students

    I would think that the first priority would be to treat the patient's symptoms, so I would answer "when did the symptoms begin". Past history is important, but not as relevant as current symptoms....

    Need help with priority diagnoses

    Clovery replied to Clovery's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I agree. I often get angry (on the inside) when I go to tell my instructor or the nurse that my patient is requesting their PRN pain meds and they roll their eyes. He had a lap. gall bladder removal...

    Need help with priority diagnoses

    Clovery replied to Clovery's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I didn't think it made the top three, but like I said, I'm stuck. My instructor even said "he just likes to take pain meds". Do you think pain would come before or after diarrhea? What about impaired...
