    IM injection question

    Clovery replied to Clovery's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    thanks for the reply :) you're right about the IV... I'm sure that's what would happen in actual practice. But this is just a worksheet for my lab for injections - we haven't learned IVs yet, so as...

    IM injection question

    Clovery replied to Clovery's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    hmm okay thanks! my main concern was about the deltoid site. My text makes it sound like only biologic injections (vaccines) are given there, but I know that must not be true in practice. It also says...

    May-Thurner syndrome

    Clovery replied to Clovery's topic in General Nursing

    Ah okay. I guess that makes sense. Is that something that happens often... doing the other side as a precaution? Just curious how painful do you think the recovery from this angioplasty would be? I...

    May-Thurner syndrome

    Clovery replied to Clovery's topic in General Nursing

    well that was my inclination but there was no mention of NIVL on her chart, the diagnosis was clearly May-Thurner Syndrome. You think the doctor made the wrong

    Confused about injection procedure

    Clovery posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    So I have a practicum coming up on injections. I feel like they kind of rushed through the demos in class and didn't demo the entire process at all. The syringes we will be using are the kind that...

    Confused about injection procedure

    Clovery replied to Clovery's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Oh how can I pass when 3 out of 4 answers seem correct

    Clovery replied to Texasstudentnurse's topic in General Students

    that does seem tricky to me. i'd freak out if all the questions were like that. 1. doesn't seem right because the doctor orders the med, so it's not nurse initiated. 2. ^ pretty much the same thing......

    Clovery replied to Student2001's topic in General Students

    I haven't done OB yet, I'll be there halfway through this semester. So I can't really think of anything in particular, but I just wanted to make the suggestion that case studies can really help. My...

    Clovery replied to ioiiipop01's topic in General Students

    In my first semester of nursing school, I had a "friend" who would bring her laptop to class, sit at the top of the lecture hall and be on skype, video chatting with her boyfriend. If someone left the...

    Clovery replied to ioiiipop01's topic in General Students

    I don't think you did anything really wrong... but if I were you, I'd probably approach those girls and say something like "I'm sorry you feel that way, but it wasn't my intent to get you into...

    Freaking out

    Clovery replied to SoCal student's topic in General Students

    No worries... I think that a lot of people have the idea that nursing is a good job, good benefits, well-respected, etc. Then they get to nursing school and realize it's not for them. It'd definitely...

    Clovery replied to SoCal student's topic in General Students

    Clovery replied to SoCal student's topic in General Students

    Student Nurse Question

    Clovery replied to Annor12's topic in General Students

    I'd say C because it's true that brighter lighting helps older people see better and this is often something that is recommended. A sounds mostly correct to me too, but you're right that not everyone...

    Clinical Paranoia

    Clovery replied to eastcoastsurf's topic in General Students

    2 weeks ago I was in the pediatric ER. At least 5 different kids came in with fever and/or rash from viral illnesses. I don't think I've ever felt so dirty as I did by the end of the night. I came...

    can you do a french braid and then wrap the dangling part into a bun? or don't even braid it, just do a series of smaller ponytails, sort of like in layers... like pull the bangs and front sides into...
