I'm studying Parse's theory of humanbecoming. I find it hard to implement in the clinical setting. Did the theories that you studied in college come in handy in the clinical setting?

Many people say it's the university of Sydney, but what's your opinion?

Is it the same as priming a regular IV line except you prime it with feeding? How would you prime the following line?

From my personal experiences, on average, female patients tend to be more demanding, more picky with their care than male patients. It turns out that there is a relationship between satisfaction with the care delivered, and the gender of the patient....

It used to be that nurses did not have to go to college; we were instead trained by hospitals. Then the education requirement changed and community college replaced hospitals. And now, it is changing to that some hospitals will only hire nurses with ...

No, it's not homework. I made this thread after reading the following article from the New York Times:http://www.nytimes.com/2012/06/24/education/changing-requirements-send-nurses-back-to-school.html?_r=1&adxnnl=1&ref=nursingandnurses&adx...

This is the first time I've come across the notion that only hot, young people should join nursing. To be a good nurse, and to be liked by the patients, you need to fulfill their needs. Many patients who come into the hospitals are already married or...

Recently, I find that I am constantly overwhelmed by stress. What de-stresses me is listening to a bit of music.

That is so true. It takes me more than 3 hours to get to my college. That's six hours every day. The first thing I'm going to purchase when I graduate will be, like in the cartoon, a car.

And I have to ace it, like really ace it...as in getting in the 90's. What are some test-taking skills and secrets do you have for getting high marks or just general test-taking secrets. Thanks.

I tried study groups and found it to be a huge time-waster. A lot of time is lost trying to get together, and sometimes we have the tendancy to gossip instead of doing work.

Age isn't an issue. Many of my classmates are about your age. And from what I've observed in a workplace and through various stories my mother told me, as long as you are competent, people will hire. I would definitely recommend that you go back to s...

I'm currently going through what you are going through. I work my butt of trying to get good marks in my courses but as always I get 60's. Sometimes I feel so bad, I wish to commit suicide. And my mom screams at me. I know she means well but she's ge...

What are your experiences with patient abuse in hospitals? For me, the first clinical placement that I worked at, the nurses often talked down to the patients as well as gossiping about them in front of them, and talking to other nurses while caring ...

I love that quote! Thanks!

I've often found that after eating ice cream, my mental productivity decreases. Definitely stay away from ice cream.

I swear it's the hospital food; there's something funky about it.

Did you enter the nursing profession with a degree in other fields? What was your last degree in? I think many people who enter nursing with a second degree; nursing is one of the most popular careers for people who are considering a second career. D...

It takes about an hour by car but at times I take the bus at times and it takes approx. 2 1/2 hours by bus.

For my first clinical placement, I started clinicals at 7:00 a.m; for my second clinical placement, I started clinicals at 2:00 p.m.

i'm not sure but i think lpn may be the american version of the rpn? they have two years of school in a community college, and we are supposed to know more and be able to do more than an rpn (and we pay much more for our education), but recently, i f...

In my opinion, you should read ahead. You won't have time to read the text when the semester starts because you will be bombarded with assignments and assigned readings from other courses; in addition, the med-surg reading assignments are staggering,...

On April 3, 2011, Kim Hiatt a nurse for 24 years, took her own life. Months before April 3, on September 14 2010, Ms. Hiatt administered the wrong dose of medication to a infant heart patient with ten times the normal dose. This subsequently caused t...

Does anyone here experience problems or difficulties deciphering a doctor's chicken scratch? I personally think that doctor should take a course on penmanship in college; it would our job easier. Their illegible writing puts patients at risk. Questi...

For me, it has to be anatomy. I recall it being very hard; there was a lot to memorize and the textbook was very hard to read.
