  1. Terrified to graduate in May...

    phuretrotr replied to ALDsn14's topic in General Students

    You seem to have some type of vendetta against nurses... Not all nurses are jerks to CNA's and not all nurses who delegate CNAs to do the CNA's job are jerks. It is simply using your resources...

  2. Question to current CRNAs

    phuretrotr replied to malenurse69's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Although I am NOT a CRNA or a SRNA or an RN, I am in nursing school like you and have done my research on CRNA schools as well. What I have seen is that what you describe is fairly common. I think the...

  3. ATI Virtual Review

    phuretrotr replied to SamIam13's topic in General Students

    Also, if you don't want to review 600 pages worth of material, why buy a book (Saunder's Comprehensive Review) that is 1184

  4. ATI Virtual Review

    phuretrotr replied to SamIam13's topic in General Students

  5. Nursing Orientation...

    phuretrotr replied to rmariee's topic in General Students

    I would like to point out that bring your parents is not a sign of immaturity. I think quite the opposite. I am not embarrassed of my family and I don't squirm when my grandmother kisses me either....

  6. Nursing school entrance essay

    phuretrotr replied to amazingdaisy's topic in General Students

    From what I have heard, to make a competitive essay, is to just follow the basics but show the school who you are too. - Stick to the word limit, 200-500 words in your case. It is a simple task and...

  8. I need help with doing a care plan for a patient starting on insulin

    phuretrotr replied to shellzbellz's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  9. Identifying actual/potential health problems and prioritising nursing diagnoses

    phuretrotr replied to rn_in_waiting's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Infection could be health problem, but it is not the priority nursing diagnosis for this patient. What do your ABC's tell you? That would be your #1. What would be manifestations you would see with...

    phuretrotr replied to dezclay's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Ask yourself, with the information you have on this patient, how could he die or have the most complications in your care? What is going to kill him if you do not do specific assessments and...

  11. Which are the most common prerequisite for nursing education

    phuretrotr replied to 007Bonita's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Look at the nursing schools websites that you wish to apply and attend. Most, if not all, have what they require on their website so you don't have to guess on what to take. By the way, your written...

    phuretrotr replied to brycross33's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Examples: 1. The physician orders 1000 mL of D5W to be administered over 6 hours. What would you set the IV pump at to administer this dose of fluid to your patient? 2. The physician orders 2 units of...

  18. BSN vs ADN or Program vs Program

    phuretrotr replied to green34's topic in General Students

    All programs differ in the number of hours, BSN or ADN, so there is really no difference or advantage to the number of hours. There is a slight difference in the level of preparation for nursing in...

    phuretrotr replied to sandcrab21's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    phuretrotr replied to Carpediem1012's topic in General Students

  23. Each university have different pre-requisites

    phuretrotr replied to youngz93's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Generally, if you apply to a school without completing their required pre-requisties, I don't think your application will last very long in their sight. They have those required requisites because...

    phuretrotr replied to DawnJ's topic in General Students

    He might have had a heart condition, in which that dose may be acceptable, because it is a 1mg/kg q 12hours. You said the chart was lost, so you may never know. The BKA might have increased his usual...
