  1. What is really a priority?

    Nuieve posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I got two conflicting NCLEX questions. According to Kaplan, a nurse should attend to the patient in the most advanced labor first. According to NSCBN course, a nurse should attend to the patient in a...

  2. What is really a priority?

    Nuieve replied to Nuieve's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I don't know which is more likely to happen - prolapsed cord or serious labor complications. I don't know of any statistics that would say which happens more often, that's why I'm so

  3. Bed to chair transfer technique

    Nuieve posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    How to transfer a patient with one weak/paralysed side from a bed to a chair? None of my books tells about specific chair position, and I can't find anything on the internet either. My idea is: 1....

  5. IV restart after infiltration

    Nuieve posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Just stumbled upon Kaplan question. It said restarting IV in the DISTAL part of the same arm where inflitration occurred was ok. I'm not concerned with the same arm (since patient had mastectomy on...

  10. Unsure of my studying plan.....warning a rant!

    Nuieve replied to Justme123's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Remember, "repetition is a mother of retention" The only way to remember things is to keep going over them again and again and again... Test questions mostly teach you to think critically... They...

  11. How to pass the NCLEX

    Nuieve replied to rn4ever?'s topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  12. Stupid Q: what comes first - identifying patient or drawing medication?

    Nuieve posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  15. Stupid Q: what comes first - identifying patient or drawing medication?

    Nuieve replied to Nuieve's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Isn't checking a bracelet a part of identifying? You ask his name and check his bracelet, and only then start the medication administration procedure. It's not like he could be mysteriously replaced...
