  1. Should I resign and drop out of school?

    SeattleJess replied to cjp1994's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Worrying is praying for something you don't want. You don't say the effect on your resident. Howe badly was he hurt? What did you do in response? Hopefully you took appropriate action to care for your...

  2. Acute Care CNA Certification?

    SeattleJess posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm looking at a job description for a CNA at a hospital that requires either acute care experience OR completion of an acute care CNA course. I've never heard of such an animal as an acute care CNA...

  3. How to get EKG training?

    SeattleJess posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I just got my first CNA job in LTC. I'm grateful for the opportunity but eventually, I'd like to work in a hospital. (Just about every hospital requires at least six months and usually a year of CNA...

  4. Really need help with electrolytes and fluids

    SeattleJess replied to freckles23's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    There will be other more critical problems long before the bones are involved! Calcium blocks sodium channels and inhibits depolarization of nerve and muscle fibers; low calcium levels lower the...

  5. 4/16 What I learned this week: POD2 and I want my button back

    SeattleJess replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    It all sounds very exhausting and challenging! I think the "mommy misses you" gifts are an amazing idea. Please give yourself credit instead of beating yourself up about "could have done better". We...

    SeattleJess posted a topic in General Students

    Our class had a paper due on Monday and a question has come up about how to cite a publisher's imprint. Specifically, we're citing a chapter in book published by Elsevier under the trade name Mosby....

  8. Cholecystectomy & Delirium Case Study: Please share thoughts

    SeattleJess posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Okay, maybe I posted in the wrong space so I'm trying here. Okay, I am really stuck on writing a paper. We need to use the nursing process to develop and create care plans for one "psychological"...

  9. Cholecystectomy & Delirium Case Study: Please share thoughts

    SeattleJess replied to SeattleJess's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Thank you so much! This really helps, especially knowing that delirium aka confusion is not a psych diagnosis. Valuable info on the benzos! My source for that WAS kind of

    SeattleJess replied to Emantsch's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Thank you for this, Been there, done that! I don't think things have changed

  11. Cholecystectomy & Delirium Case Study: Please share thoughts

    SeattleJess replied to SeattleJess's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I think the delirium is primarily the result of overmedication. She was given 50% more oxy than her max dose. She was given 4 times the recommended daily dose of Ativan for someone over age 65....

    SeattleJess replied to SeattleJess's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  13. Do you NEED a study group to get through nursing school?

    SeattleJess replied to Student2017555's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    No, you don't. I got the same pressure from instructors about how I need a study group. You need to find what works for you and what is the most efficient use of your time. Sounds as if you are doing...

  14. just venting, how to handle rage when you have to smile or else...

    SeattleJess replied to HiMyNameisCammy's topic in General Students

    This sounds really, really stressful! So sorry you are getting off to this rough beginning. It does not sound like you don't want to be a nurse. It DOES sound like you don't want to be a nursing...

  16. Cholecystectomy with Delirium Case Study

    SeattleJess replied to SeattleJess's topic in General Students

    I will post to myself. I am going with acute delirium for my psych diagnosis even though it isn't listed in our required psych text book as a psych diagnosis. Dare to use common sense! Now on to the...

  17. Not Criminally Responsible

    SeattleJess replied to Tylerr's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    It might be useful to research the different legal standards for mens rea (guilty mind) in criminal law. (A crime is a guilty act + a guilty mind.) Then you could compare the results with different...

  18. Why is it so hard to get A's?

    SeattleJess replied to KatFUTUREnurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    True and true. You are really cheating yourself by taking organic before you understand chemistry basics. I'm also surprised this was allowed; chemistry was a prerequisite at every college I

  19. Why is it so hard to get A's?

    SeattleJess replied to KatFUTUREnurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I got my 4.0 in my prereqs and my 3.8 in nursing school by making my life "all about school and nothing else." Not everyone needs to do this, as I've learned from reading posts on AllNurses, but most...

  21. "Job Filled".... What?

    SeattleJess replied to kass333's topic in General Nursing

    This seems to be a regular practice, especially in government jobs. My husband has taken many days off to apply for a position with the city over the years. It has ALWAYS been filled by someone...

    SeattleJess replied to RatherBHiking's topic in School

  23. The Ship Is Sinking

    SeattleJess replied to beachtomountainsRN's topic in General Nursing

    And sometimes that is several more nails in the coffin! What's that they say about "Loose lips sink ships?" And "Loose lips sink sinking ships even faster?" Please don't get into useless conversations...

  24. The Ship Is Sinking

    SeattleJess replied to beachtomountainsRN's topic in General Nursing

    I cannot like this enough. LIKE, LIKE, LIKE,

  25. The Ship Is Sinking

    SeattleJess replied to beachtomountainsRN's topic in General Nursing

    Absolute truth! Also, there is HAVING a legal right and there is ENFORCING a legal right. These are most definitely NOT the same thing. Believe me, you do not want the time, expense and uncertainty of...
