    raindrop replied to raindrop's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Thanks Chica! Is it safe to say that he can be classified as "anorexic?" I'm not sure I understand the last one in bold. How can he aspirate stomach contents into his RT from difficult...

  2. A few Neuro Q's....

    raindrop replied to raindrop's topic in Neuro Intensive Care, ICU

    Took it, passed it (84%). Am I happy with that score? Yes, considering that test was BS. Class average was 80%. It was HORRIBLE. I estimate that half of the Q's weren't from lecture. One of the...

  4. A few Neuro Q's....

    raindrop replied to raindrop's topic in Neuro Intensive Care, ICU

    It makes sense! Now, about the spinal tap being restricted with anyone who has ICP, that would incude anyone who has had a stroke, been in a MVA, etc, etc? It seems (to me) that if one is at risk for...

    raindrop posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    raindrop replied to raindrop's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the tip. I'm searching google right now. some of these sites don't look very legit. I may end up hiring a PI to do it for me. It will probably cost about the same. I'm sorry to ask....but,...

    raindrop posted a topic in General Nursing
