PICC LINE REMOVAL
, The objective in this is to make sure that you have an gel of some sort to occlude the vessel track. And then cover with the TSM and the patient must remain supine x 30 minutes s/p removal. Checks thereafter are done frequently for the first hour to monitor for complication r/t removal. Post removal, if the insertion site is covered with an occlusive substance and an occlusive dressing, why would it be necessary to remain supine s/p CVC removal?
- Help, I hate Vomit - Can I still be a nurse?

So...What Kind of Nursing Task Do You LIKE?
Also, ivp meds- mainly versed. Washing faces and ears- a freshly washed face and clean ears somehow make patients look less sick.

So...What Kind of Nursing Task Do You LIKE?
Clocking out comes to mind first. With a little thought, I could also say that I enjoy patient education and therapeutic hypothermia.

A Public Thank You
I like the idea of changing my username! I love my username, but I really don't post much for fear of being "outted" irl.

Hurst? Kaplan? OR Both?
Hi there, The content videos were not something I found very helpful. I watched some of them though. I answered all of the Kaplan questions ...twice...I really wanted to guarantee that I'd only sit for that test once!!
-
Hurst? Kaplan? OR Both?
For me, I felt that the Kaplan questions were very, very similar to the NCLEX.
-
Hurst? Kaplan? OR Both?
I did both the Kaplan and Hurst Reviews (neither of which were live). I completed all of the questions in the Kaplan qBank as well. I passed NCLEX with 75 questions and relative ease. If I had to choose just one, I'd stick with Kaplan. However, if you can afford it- why not do both and be super prepared??

Will my scars from cutting be a problem?
I would think that for the interview, cover up (long sleeves are more appropriate in an interview anyway IMO). Starting a new job, perhaps long sleeves in the beginning (first impressions and all) or not. As for "making up a lie" say what feels right to you! Childhood accident? Not technically a lie! Hurt when you were younger? Not a lie! Got hurt, long story. Not a lie! You do NOT owe anyone an explanation beyond what you are comfortable disclosing. Ever.
