  1. Depression Care Plan help

    kansasredneckwomen posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I had a patient this week that has had some major health issues in the last year. Because of this, and a possible ileostomy, I wanted to do a Depression nursing diagnosis but noticed it is not in my...

  2. Clinicals - I hate them!

    kansasredneckwomen replied to MTmomofsix's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    The fact that you notice the deficiencies of your current facility and you care enough to be "hurt" by their mistreatment will help make you a good nurse. As far as your grading, our instructors are...

  3. need advice

    kansasredneckwomen replied to dicksonk's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Do not try to memorize everything! You will go crazy. Instead, learn to think critically. You have a patient that cannot breath, what do you do? Nursing school is a lot of information, especially...

  4. How many will go on to get their RN?

    kansasredneckwomen replied to MTmomofsix's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I'm planning on starting in the ADN program in July, depending on graduation from the PN program of course!

  5. Cheating in the Classroom

    kansasredneckwomen replied to meatballgirl's topic in General Students

    As a nursing student myself, I do not worry about other classmate's grades. Yeah, it's nice when you do well to tell your friend or when you don't do well to share with others to see if the test...

  6. Almost 4 months in?

    kansasredneckwomen replied to Jazziepants's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I have an AAS in medical assisting but the knowledge I have gained in the last 3 months far exceeds what I learned in the two years I spent on my degree. I love that nursing teaches me why diseases...

  7. Help with pharmacology: cardiac

    kansasredneckwomen replied to missk88's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Great question and even greater answers! Thank you for making the cardiac meds so much clearer! We just finished the unit prior to the post and I never understood how to keep the drugs separated as...

  8. Help needed with care plan fear

    kansasredneckwomen replied to Greenstar1013's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    To me, it depends on how they act on their fear of falling. My client was so fearful of falling again that she was afraid of moving at all and would fight us while turning, transferring and...

  9. Emergency Hypertension 210/120 mmHg

    kansasredneckwomen replied to tammy_zeidan09's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Nitropress is given in a hypertensive crisis by IV. What it

  10. Nursing Diagnosis/care plan help!

    kansasredneckwomen posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I am having the same problem with my care plan. I usually do not struggle this much but my resident has several issues. Her history is that she is 81 y/o and was found by her son in the fetal position...

  11. Woundvac help!

    kansasredneckwomen posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I was able to see another woundvac demonstration today. This was, by far, the worst wound I have ever seen (to the point our instructor continually assessed us for dizziness and nausea)! The client...

  12. Help with priority..

    kansasredneckwomen replied to MilliePieRN's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I personally would go with a psychosocial. Having both lower legs amputated! That is a huge, life changing ordeal! How will that effect her mind? Her social life? Her independence? Good

  13. Nursing Diagnosis/care plan help!

    kansasredneckwomen replied to kansasredneckwomen's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I think my biggest problem is that I do not meet the patient before developing the care plan. We are given our "assignment" on Monday afternoons and told to read the H&P, labs, progress notes,...

  14. Risk for injury care plan r/t dvt and pe

    kansasredneckwomen replied to kmp1982's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I just did one on that and put in to maintain the INR in a therapeutic range, which for my patient is 1.5-2. Good

    Congrats! I am also in KS and taking my NCLEX-PN sometime after May. Are the PN results just as

  16. Wound care confusion!! Help

    kansasredneckwomen replied to Ashleynicole8711's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    It is my understanding that the technique used is specified by the Md order. If he/she says do it sterile than do. However, home health nurses cannot exactly use sterile technique but this is okay...

  17. Should I quit LVN school? Or struggle on?

    kansasredneckwomen replied to meatballgirl's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    My program also does the "weeding out" but not with as much as you say. For starters, we only do 20 of the most commonly used meds a week. That gives us the basic reactions, actions, uses, and nursing...

    Congrats! I passed my first med/surg exam with an 85% but it was over eyes/ears/skin disorders. I take my next exam Monday over respiratory disorders Monday and then we start cardio disorders. I'm...

  20. Trade Schools- Are they a waste of money? Is anyone happy with a trade school?

    kansasredneckwomen replied to B.Hall527's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I have an AAS in Medical Assisting from a university. Although I did like the job it didn't pay very well ($13/hr in my area) and is very limited on positions as Kansas does not use them widely yet....

  21. accepted in Lpn school...now what?

    kansasredneckwomen replied to MindyydniM's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    It is true about no more weekends! I occasionally get lucky and have nothing due the next week but I spend my weekend getting organized or ahead in some of my reading. My best advice is to know and...
