  1. Is my pt in heart failure??

    Patient has had a CABG, I imagine (the blockage that caused the need for a CABG) is related to his Ischemic Heart Disease. The Ischemic heart disease can definitely increase workload of the heart. He...
  2. Nursing Kit for a First Year Student

    That's exactly what I'm saying though. For anything going on the permanent record yeah... black. My employer can't tell me what colors to use on my brain sheets though. Sorry I didn't mean to cause...
  3. Nursing Kit for a First Year Student

    While that may be true for legal documents. It's a smart idea to get in the habit of utilizing red for critical labs, blue for meds due or meds you need from pharmacy, and black for just general...
  4. Nursing Kit for a First Year Student

    Clinical: You do not need a bp cuff for clinical. Hospitals will not permit use of personal bp cuffs/pulse ox. You need a regular backpack to carry your drug book and maybe a little RN pocket book....
  5. Vitals

    Lol I remember being worried that my BP was about 170/90 ... and I passed and now I'm a walking talking RN. My trick? Practice. Find the brachial pulse. Place diaphragm right over pulse. Relax. AND...
  6. Pantoprazole is not Nexium... here's me hoping it was your mistake and NOT your instructors mistake! Let me rephrase the question. 40 mg of Protonix (Pantoprazole) is mixed in with 250 mL of NS....
  7. Nursing Complications

    Dementia, Hypertension, and Arthritis are not nursing diagnoses. Give us more detail about your assignment andddd while you're at it ... give us YOUR thoughts and what research YOU'VE done
  8. Case Study #3

    -Sterile Gloves (obvious reason) -Make sure airway is aligned for visualizing. So we will place a pillow behind their neck to move their head up just a tad as if making a "snotty look". -Suction...
  9. BSN programs are harder than ADN

    OP I was done but let me clarify something because I want you to understand. Usually you are compensated for higher education and certification once hired though. Ok? But as a new grad usually the...
  10. BSN programs are harder than ADN

    OP, YOU need to take your OWN advice. Ma'am, must I remind you, you're the one who came here to stir the pot? Like I said. I'm done. YOU get over
  11. BSN programs are harder than ADN

    OP what WAS the purpose of this post? Maybe it's best that you stop playing the "my degree is bigger than yours" game. Have yourself a seat and do the work you have to get through your program. Nobody...
  12. BSN programs are harder than ADN

    The OP wants to stir the pot. She's sick of her or his homework and wants to throw a fit. My best guess. ;
  13. BSN programs are harder than ADN

    Why should you be paid more? What MORE can you offer that a ADN cannot? Both BSN and ADN new grads are new grad nurses that know about a fourth of an inch of nursing knowledge. New grads are not in...
  14. Class of 2014

    Who's graduating in 2014? I graduate May, 2014. 24 more weeks of instruction ONLY 18 days of clinical left. 0.0 2014 Grads Represent! ((: Are y'all becoming anxious/nervous with the idea of being...

    Hello fellow nurses! I recently graduated nursing school and became a licensed registered nurse! ? I'm very happy and proud of my accomplishment. I was also able to land an internship rotating...
  17. My mom doesn't believe in me.

    (((GIANT HUGS))) thank you that means so much! Lol only thing is I'm a boy =P but really thank you!
  18. My mom doesn't believe in me.

    I have to disagree. It is not a parents job to do that. A parent *should* in my opinion support the dreams of their children. I can see how encouraging the teenagers dream of baseball/military is a...
  19. My mom doesn't believe in me.

    Thanks everyone. I really appreciate everyone's insight and encouragement. As it turns out she told me later that she was concerned the stress of CRNA school may pose a physical harm. She told me she...
  20. My mom doesn't believe in me.

    Fortunately her now full time job will become part time soon (little income for her own spending). She still has plans to improve her own education. She's a massage therapist herself. Plans to become...
  21. My friend is still looking for work

    It's obviously causing you some distress and I'm willing to be bet because you're probably a genuine friend who cares so she easily saps you of your energy. Like everyone else said, I'd move on. She...
  22. My friend is still looking for work

    It sounds as if she has alternate reasons and she's kind of deflecting her real reasons and blaming external sources. Sure the economy is bad and sure she's a stale new grad BUT she was already...
  23. Other Nursing Schools in Houston

    To be honest, the manner in which your question is phrased/worded is confusing me. I want to help you, please clarify to me what your situation is. Have you failed out of a nursing program? Why can't...
  24. Case Study #2

    Learned a lot as well, thanks!
  25. Help with passing first simulation please!!!

    I don't think your professors are wanting you to perform all the above to perfection. They know you're a nursing student, I think they just want to know you're safe to be let off in the clinical area....
