  10. BSE - Not taught??

    goodknight posted a topic in General Nursing

    I was searching for a guide to teach BSE and came across several interesting articles. It seems that BSE is on the way out. What have you heard about this? Do you still teach patients BSE? Is BSE...

  11. BSE - Not taught??

    goodknight replied to goodknight's topic in General Nursing

    What I read was about studies that had been done saying that it was a 'waste of time' and was 'uneffective'. The Dr. who was being quoted gave the opinion that there was no reason to do BSE unless...

  13. AA in applied science?

    goodknight replied to ZZTopRN's topic in General Nursing

    Here they don't. It's an Associates of Applied Science (AAS). I can't come up with a reason they would give you an AA, since your concentration is in science not liberal

  14. Presenting Depression to Kids

    goodknight replied to perfectbluebuildings's topic in General Nursing

    speaking as a young person I'd suggest trying to remove some of the stigma from 'mental disease'. That's a big problem I see in lots of kids and parents. I know that when I was 13 'depression' was...

  17. Do you have a living will?

    goodknight replied to Dixielee's topic in General Nursing

    I have one and I'm only 18. I think as soon as you turn 18 you should be required to fill one out. It shocks alot of people that I have one. Why not? Young people have bad stuff happen to them too. I...

  18. bodily fluids on you

    goodknight replied to sheliamd1's topic in General Nursing

    We were taught that too, but only that it is sterile to the 'owner'. So my patient's urine isn't sterile to me, only to them. We didn't get an explination

  19. Dress Code for nursing students?

    goodknight replied to NPTeacher's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I don't think you have to dress up or wear expensive clothes to look professional. A pair of clean, unripped jeans with a nice shirt looks professional for a student. By nice I mean no outrageous...

  20. Patients You *Know*

    goodknight posted a topic in General Nursing

    Another question for ya'll. I live in a very small, rural community. I just started clinicals at the hospital and got to thinking about this. I'd bet that at some point I will personally know a...

    goodknight replied to Still Riding's topic in General Nursing

    Right now I'm 18. I graduate next December and I'll only be 20. Don't think its that big of a deal, even if I am the baby in the class. Of course, people think I'm older than I am. (I'm sure that'll...

  24. Me, Myself, and HIPPA

    goodknight replied to goodknight's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I figured that the less said is better. I guess the reason we talk about it is just curiosity. they get real excited with what I'm learning, and I like to explain the reasons for treatments and the...

  25. nursing model vs. medical model

    goodknight replied to reflect's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm only in the ASN program, but my understanding is that the "nursing model" is more wholistic. You focus on the whole person, their lifestyle, emotions, ect., not just the disease. And the "medical...
