Are you doing a full care plan on her? Or is this a different kind of assignment.

M working on a care plan for my patients who presents with confusion, weakness stomach pain. She has cirrhosis. Sodium is critical at 107. She is on 3% saline. She is a non compliant alcoholic that is underweight. Also her pt and INR are elevate...

Anyone :)

Thanks for this! I'm working on a care plan with a pt with hyponatremia, cirrhosis, etc. this helps a lot!

I'm a student currently and doing clinical on a MedSurg floor. I find that most nurses are willing to teach you as long as your not arrogant or lazy and are willing to work and know your place. By know your place, I mean get up when your looking at...

I absolutely LOVE clinical! I'm on a Med-Surg floor and the time flies. I always want to get my hands on something new and challenging! I really love that everything starts to connect and looking at the bigger picture! A big thank you to all you ...

I agree with PSU-13. I'm a student and happen to be on top of my class. I would NEVER do that to one of my fellow students. First of all looking into pts that weren't yours is just wrong and correct me if I'm wrong but also a HIPAA violation. At ...

Are the doctors put under this much scrutiny? I always find this dilemma in female dominated fields, it always comes down to our bodies. Of course we "should" be an example to our patients but we are only human too. I'd take an overweight nurse, d...

Congrats!!

It most certainly should be the other way around! I've never heard of that. Everyplace I worked, the doctors bought. We would chip in a small amount and get the doc a gift but not pay for the party.

Yes LPNs do care plans as well.

Thank you! That's what I've been leaning towards but just wanted to verify!

Pt was admit for "trying to hurt myself" He is a paraplegic (20 years). He is also being treated for a dishenced wound that is mrsa positive. He was on a 1013 but the md released it. He has a plan in place for counseling etc. and the main reason...

I'm sorry I should've been more clear. No the wound is not a result of his suicide attempt. More as one of the many reasons he is feeling helpless

I was taught to do the same procedure but use the radial pulse and wait for it to disappear. Deflate add 20-30 mmhg to make sure you are above systolic.

I am tooting my own horn here, but I made a 92 in Pharm!! Woo-hoo! Fundamentals finall tomorrow!

Yay to everyone! Also found out I got A's in fundamentals & clinical!! Woo-hoo... Now on to Med-Surg! Tips for Pharm? We would come up with rhymes to remember drugs, class & implications. And you have to know your Math... Drugs and Math....

Thanks for all your pointers! I got a 100 on it!

I am an LPN student and in Fundamentals. This is our first care plan and it is basic based on a resident in LTC. This is my first diagnosis with 1 short goal and 6 interventions. Looking for a review. Thanks so much! Nursing Care Plan Form Studen...

I would even try a small to medium size suitcase. A lot of the girls in my class are using them.

Thank you so much for your advice!

I've been taught meatus for males and dip in tray for females.

My class has a private fb page and we love it. We ask each other questions while preparing for tests etc. a couple girls just signed up for fb and just use it for the group. We also set up a google drive account that we all access and upload I inf...

Our book said tympanic was the closet to core and preferred on children due to rectal damage.

Is everyone ready for Monday??
