    Being required to do a psychiatric care plan on myself?

    Clovery replied to esokitty's topic in General Students

    I wouldn't like it either. For my assessment lab we had to do complete health histories on each other. There were some things I chose not to mention or lie about. I agree with the PPs... just make it...

    Clovery replied to OncNurse2012's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    they're both in multi-dose vials? we didn't quite cover that in my lab but we did cover mixing insulins... i'm gonna take a guess since you don't have any replies. i'm curious about the right answer...

    BABY during School??

    Clovery replied to Kissa6190's topic in General Students

    I have a little boy who is about to turn 1. I got pregnant during my first semester and decided to take a year off, rather than risk failing because of absences related to the birth. I resumed the...

    IM injections, to aspirate or not?

    Clovery replied to Pia Mater's topic in General Students

    We learned this semester to NEVER aspirate and not to use the dorsogluteal site. The hospital group in which we do most of our clinicals has a no aspiration policy. This is relatively new, as my...

    That's what I would choose too. It might help you to verify your answer if you assign a "need" to each patient, according to

    What exactly is "evidence based practice"?

    Clovery posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    When care planning, is evidence-based practice the same thing as a rationale? The exact definitions of these terms aren't clear to me. I'm doing a care plan and I need to include rationales with...

    What exactly is "evidence based practice"?

    Clovery replied to Clovery's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    thanks for the recommendation. i looked for it on amazon but the only title remotely close was published in 1967. we have to list a rationale for everything. even the totally obvious stuff. and it...

    ADN Curriculum.. does this look right?

    Clovery replied to AaronsMommyxx's topic in General Students

    My school (ADN) also lists a similar course of study, but in reality you won't get accepted into the nursing classes unless you have all of your prereqs done already. Except for a few people who are...

    What exactly is "evidence based practice"?

    Clovery replied to Clovery's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    thanks for your reply! i think my instructor will accept my rationales that are "expert opinion" since I don't believe anyone else in my class will bother to research to find rationales on their own....

    How to thank nurses who were helpful at clinical?

    Clovery posted a topic in General Students

    I've seen a lot of threads about bad experiences with the nurses at clinical sites. I've had a mix. However, recently, I've encountered two nurses who I felt really went above and beyond in making...

    How soon you will be drug tested after admission?

    Clovery replied to The ER Biker's topic in General Students

    in my experience with drug testing for school, you go to lab corp and do the test which is part of a package with the background check company. i came prepared with my prescription but they didn't...

    How soon you will be drug tested after admission?

    Clovery replied to The ER Biker's topic in General Students

    A lot of ridiculous things that don't harm anyone are illegal. Am I a bad nurse because I take my kid to feed the ducks at the park? That's illegal in my town. Maybe she had a terrible headache and...

    How soon you will be drug tested after admission?

    Clovery replied to The ER Biker's topic in General Students

    not that I condone nurses using drugs, but I think most people in this thread are being way too sanctimonious. maybe the OP just wants to smoke a joint at a Halloween party this weekend, before she...

    How soon you will be drug tested after admission?

    Clovery replied to The ER Biker's topic in General Students

    My school requires it be done within 10 days of the date the acceptance letter was mailed. I don't think any school is going to give you much notice... it kind of defeats the purpose if they allow you...

    I pay to hear the instructor... not your stories (rant. beware)

    Clovery replied to grownuprosie's topic in General Students

    I agree the best thing to do would be to address the instructor privately. Tell her you are concerned because your classmates' anecdotes are interfering with your understanding of the material because...

    Having a dog during nursing school

    Clovery replied to jiwonkim89's topic in General Students

    You need to crate that dog! For his own safety. Not to mention lawsuits if he gets in any trouble when he's out. To the OP, I agree - hire a dog walker. It could even be a responsible neighborhood kid...

    Did anyone else have a bad 1st day of clinicals??

    Clovery replied to allsmilez's topic in General Students

    My first clinical was in a nursing home too. I liked it, because the residents are usually happy to work with students and are very nice. What did your instructor call you out for? In any case, it was...

    Nursing Diagnosis or Care Plan books that are useful?

    I agree about Ackley & Ladwig - they provide great lists of rationales with references so you don't have to find them on your

    Male Nurse Midwife

    Clovery replied to Sowhat105's topic in General Students

    I was completely comfortable with my male OB/GYN throughout my pregnancy and delivery so I don't see how a male midwife would be any different. I'm sure you know this, but just in case... You...

    Thanks for the suggestion... I can find stuff but I can't access it. If it comes to it, I will break it down by each infection but I'd really like to avoid it! This is only supposed to be a short...

    Nursing Diagnosis for newborn sexuality

    Clovery replied to hydra10134's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I have no idea what you're going for here... The only sexuality-related things i can think of for infants is if they're born with something like Turner's or Klinefelter's syndrome, or ambiguous...
