Women's scrubs bottoms with pockets on both legs and women's tops with a chest pocket.

The fact that the nursing instructor did it apparently in the absence of a request or consent of the parents indicates that she was pushing her own religious agenda. As like another poster in this thread, I am not a religious sort, so while an actual...

I just graduated from nursing school in December. All of my corequisite courses (e.g. A&P, Micro, Chem, and other non-nursing courses) were completed prior to my entering nursing school in my Bachelor's degree, so I was only considered a 1/2 time...

This is my first care plan in my OB rotation. The patient is post-partum. G2P2. Cesarean. The bladder sustained an injury and was nicked by a surgical retractor. Patient had a small bladder repair and would require a Foley to go home until the bladde...

This is what I have gotten as I worked through my paperwork: 1) Impaired urinary elimination r/t recent bladder injury and repair. Goal: Foley catheter will remain patent and draining throughout shift. 2) Acute pain r/t LTCS, intermittently clogged...

I took a Fundamental Chem course two semesters ago. I barely scraped by with a B. The following semester I had the opportunity to work as a Student Instructor for the same Chem course. I passed because I was strong in math. I got better with the theo...

I must have a stethoscope by day one of my Nursing 1300 (first) course. I have a short list of must-have equipment. Sthethoscope a vary greatly. My MIL (a retired nurse) recommends "One with double tubes that are then contained in one tube with a si...

I agree that near misses are important, but that does depend heavily on the facility following up on it and using the opportunity to improve. Some places do, some don't.

I think everyone here has a great point. My husband pointed out that it might be cheaper to buy a Cardiology scope because I am planning on going into FNP school and will likely need good acoustics in family practice...so I would save by having to bu...

Ok, so a solid, basic scope...I think I have found two. Thoughts on either of these? Litman Classic II SE $80 Litman Master Classic $99 Not a huge difference in price so I'm wondering if there is a big difference in functionality.

You may want to try & call H&R block. We filed our taxes in February and got our refund within two weeks. I would want to verify whether there were any errors in submission, etc. I am sorry things are being delayed for you.

Life learning moment is just that. I'd say not. A bD way tk go

Would you want a nurse who didn't know their anatomy or physiology very well? I would not. I don't mind if they struggled in the class, or if it didn't come easily...but I want them to know it by the time they lay a hand on me.

I didn't make the program last year. Did make it this year. Got my acceptance letter for the fall 2013 yesterday. I'm also graduating with my BS in Health Sciences at the end of this semester. When it rains...it pours. :)

IDK how competitive your program is, but I got a C in sadistics and was just glad it was done. A realistic nursing program knows all students will have 'something' they struggle with. Chem & Sadistics was mine.

How much more of a load is this over your normal? If you usually overachieve, then you should be okay provided you aren't taking a lot of hard sciences (Chem, Physics) or math. You will have to manage your time well and stay on top of things. For ins...

Every nursing program is different. In the interest of being fair, my college ranks certain courses completed and the HESI as "quality points." A = 3 points, B = 2 points, C = 1 point. The minimum GPA is 2.5. The top 100 applicants get into the progr...

Why wouldn't they want to hear about that?

Wouldn't that have more likely been a Kennedy ulcer?

"Continue to monitor" or "CTM" is a phrase seen often in charts of facilities who get sued for deficient custodial care. I personally loathe the phrase.

This could be an infinite discussion. Several of you have already brought up good points and good strategies for dealing with these situations. Here's my thoughts: Despite our current culture, death is as much a part of life as being born and living...

Care plan meeting with the POA, staff, DON and physician. This needs to be care planned. I realize people have the right to refuse, but the family needs to understand what is going on here and the limits of the facility (i.e. you can't hold them down...
