    What's Cali. life like?

    HH_RN13 replied to DFRAZIER25's topic in California Nursing

    I agree with all! I've lived in LA for 11 years and absolutely love it. Never been to SF but cold is not my thing. San Diego is nice also. Mclennan, may I ask why you are so against cedars? I've done...

    Are there medications that you don't/won't write for?

    HH_RN13 replied to emtneel's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    A bit off topic, but I don't think it's appropriate to say every other person has anxiety. While I get that there are a lot of people who abuse the system, many do really suffer and getting help in...

    Oh no I totally get it. It is hard for me to understand why there is so much pain and my gi dr doesn't do a very good job explaining other than it is what it is. I also had Pepcid iv and gi cocktail...

    Input about gastroparesis

    HH_RN13 replied to Sassy5d's topic in Emergency

    I have gastroparesis and ill tell you it's no fun. My gi dr was amazed to see food in my stomach after me being npo for 24 hrs. Your stomach feels full, there is so much pressure and the nausea on top...

    How should I handle a situation like this young lady at our lab?

    HH_RN13 replied to cabellact's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ummm you might have a really hard time in nursing school if you get so worked up over this. If she doesn't want to work on it you simply do the project with the rest of the group and skip giving her...

    Different Piggyback Antibiotics, Same IV Tubing??

    HH_RN13 replied to Pinky89's topic in Medical-Surgical

    Hmm I've never heard of this. And in my school they always taught to use new tubing for each antibiotic or whatever it is. And throughout all my clinicals I've never seen nurses do that

    Having a difficult time with my Practicum Experience:

    HH_RN13 replied to mistymae22's topic in General Students

    Lol yea I know what you are saying. I did my final preceptorship on a med surg unit and I really loved it. Back at my ob rotation on postpartum I was dying of boredom. It's just not my kind of thing....

    HH_RN13 replied to mistymae22's topic in General Students

    I think it's important in your situation to take pp advice and try to make nice with the nurses. In the beginning of my preceptorship I felt my nurse wasn't really into teaching, but I just followed...

    HH_RN13 replied to hazel20's topic in General Students

    Hi! Congrats on your little one on the way :-) I was very pregnant when I was applying to schools, almost ready to pop when attended nursing school orientation and my daughter was barely 3 months old...

    Nclex in NY

    HH_RN13 replied to kemifair's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Honestly I think everyone has given u all the advice possible. I don't know which school u graduated from, but to fail 9 times means that the school did an absolutely horrible job teaching you. Nclex...

    I'm new here; I'm having a hard time choosing nursing colleges to apply to

    HH_RN13 replied to Ms.Frank's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think nclex was hard, I feel my school prepared me well as I did very little reviewing before taking it. I applied to LA valley college, LA city college, LA harbor college, moorpark city...

    HH_RN13 replied to Ms.Frank's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi, The long wait is over in most of the community colleges at least in LA county. I don't know where in CA you are. Many of the schools have moved to lottery/point based systems as someone mentioned...

    Looking back

    HH_RN13 replied to kemifair's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I agree with the above posters. My school holds nclex review for free that is taught by the same instructors that we had during the program. A school should really want to help you succeed unless they...

    Have you read about acid-base in your text? Try to google it because sometimes it's easier to comprehend. Lungs and kidneys control the ph. Also, any other abnormalities in

    COPD - so confused!

    HH_RN13 replied to butterfly134's topic in General Nursing

    WBC in urine usually mean a UTI, which is not really related to the lung infection. But yes, because COPD patients have a ventilation issue and retain CO2, during an exacerbation the issue worsens...

    HH_RN13 replied to butterfly134's topic in General Nursing

    For the kidneys and lungs I suggest you read about acid base balances and arterial blood gases. I am sure you will then see the relation :-) I would tell you, but I always believed that you will...
