  1. Care plan discussion - first OB care plan

    RescueNinjaKy replied to tinks599's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Just off the top of my head I will say remember that urinary elimination can be measured by urinary out put, so what is the normal output that can tell you that she's not having urinary retention?...

  2. The car seat test

    RescueNinjaKy replied to Not_A_Hat_Person's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Personally I don't feel like you were coerced into buying an expensive car seat. I mean regardless of whether you had time or not to use your own car seat, you still needed a car seat and you had the...

  3. Apparently, everyone is a nurse! (rant)

    RescueNinjaKy replied to RivkaLPN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I personally would be concerned about the compromise to patient safety even they claim to be nurses and operate out of their scope of practice. Also the media or even hear say on any negative care...

  4. Piggy Back IV order with no fluid order?

    RescueNinjaKy replied to Fruit Sucker's topic in Patient Medications

    From where I am, the bags of ns are in the supply room, easily

  5. Hand Held Device Requirement for Clinical

    RescueNinjaKy replied to tbbtpeach's topic in General Students

    Personally I use my Samsung galaxy s3 and I don't have any problem seeing my drug book on it. The Samsung phones are a bit bigger than the iPhone which to me is a plus. I use the programs skyscape and...

  6. Staffing Issues. (rant)

    RescueNinjaKy replied to WittySarcasm's topic in General Nursing

    It's ridiculous! Especially because of how insurance companies refuse to pay when patients are dissatisfied or develop hospital acquired infections, or pressure ulcers. Well I say hire more nurses so...

  7. LPN OR RN SCHOOL???

    RescueNinjaKy replied to Kath106's topic in Ohio Nursing

    As far as I know, the nurse shortage is a myth. They Will continue to tell you there is a shortage but honestly there

  8. Fall 2014 city tech nursing?

    RescueNinjaKy replied to val_xxx3's topic in New York Nursing

    congrats New nursing students. Make sure you read during the summer. This will be an exciting but hard

  9. LPN OR RN SCHOOL???

    RescueNinjaKy replied to Kath106's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I don't know about your area but it's pretty hard to get hired in New York as a lpn or asn

  10. So much doubt...

    RescueNinjaKy replied to 3rdgenRN2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you're in turmoil over it and you're just 5 credits short, why don't you just finish the degree first. It will give you a peace of mind, a fall back plan, and it's not like it affects whether your...

  11. Thinking about becoming a nurse

    RescueNinjaKy replied to SeattleMan's topic in Men in Nursing

    I know there are online rn-bsn bridge programs but I doubt you can find an online straight asn or bsn. I think the reason behind this is because you need to have clinicals. It's definitely possible...

  12. Issues with a Clinical Instructor

    RescueNinjaKy replied to MedicalPartisan's topic in General Students

    I think you may be confused with the word offended, because I can assure you that I am not your instructor so I was not offended. And op I did not instantly assume that your perception as a new...

  13. Starting a family during nursing school or after?

    RescueNinjaKy replied to God'sLittleNurse2b's topic in General Students

    Personally I do not know the experience but I have spoken to a student who was pregnant during nursing school and she was seriously stressed. In particular, I remember when it was near finals and she...

  14. 2.91 GPA as Bio major to Grad-Entry NP Chances?

    RescueNinjaKy replied to kyrae_04's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Hi, just a little question, how come you didn't become an rn first if you liked the nursing

  15. Issues with a Clinical Instructor

    RescueNinjaKy replied to MedicalPartisan's topic in General Students

    Op, you may be judging too early. You have yet to begin clinicals and you claim that you feel that the instructor is not up to your standards. As a fundamentals student, what are you looking for him...

  16. Going to school: question for nurses

    RescueNinjaKy replied to Jesshallmark's topic in Nursing Career

    While you are worried about getting a job, I still feel a need to point out that you should worry about getting your license first. A lot of nursing schools require medical clearance from a physician...

  17. What Would You Do?

    RescueNinjaKy replied to HokeyFinokey's topic in Patient Medications

    You need to clarify the order with the doctor before saying that you're not going to give it. It's like due diligence. Just because the order is wrong doesn't mean you just don't give it. You have to...

  18. Vent: suspended for not charting on time

    RescueNinjaKy replied to hopesgramcracker's topic in Patient Medications

    Maybe I read it wrong but how I understood it was that op gave the med at 7:45, patient was given the same med by the other nurse at 8:00. So it was not 1hr and 45 minutes

  19. Vent: suspended for not charting on time

    RescueNinjaKy replied to hopesgramcracker's topic in Patient Medications

    I completely sympathize with you but charting the med two hours after administrating seems quite long. And why didn't you just chart before going to the meeting. The systems I've used are quite simple...

  20. Case study: Need inputs!!!

    RescueNinjaKy replied to mg1303's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    As a rn you have to protect yourself too. Provide appropriate documentation that you have spoken to John about this issue. For instance, send an email to your supervisor with the scenario and what...

  21. High WBCs with acute GI bleed?

    RescueNinjaKy replied to suzw's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    And if he already had gi problems, drinking coffee can irritate/exacerbate

  22. High WBCs with acute GI bleed?

    RescueNinjaKy replied to suzw's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Are you sure it was coffee and not blood. If he had a gi bleed that comes into contact with the gastric acid it turns the blood into coffee colored emesis. Perhaps he has ulceration/fistulas and that...

  23. Panic attacks triggered by rapid position change

    RescueNinjaKy replied to dandk1997RN's topic in Psychiatric

    Have you done Neuro checks on the patients. Perhaps the position change is affecting her bp which in turns affects icp and her cerebral blood perfusion. It's a bit far fetched but that could cause the...

  24. Psych rotation? What should I expect?

    RescueNinjaKy replied to katie92's topic in General Students

    Hello, I do not think that every clinical rotation is the same but they should be similar so I'll let you know how mine was. We weren't allowed to do anything medical for the patients. For the most...

  25. urgent need some out there to take care of tis question

    RescueNinjaKy replied to UcheAnyiam's topic in Male Nursing Students

    The second question that the op posted asks for flow rate. Gtt/min is drops per minute, which is also called flow
