    This is amazing. I want to believe it because its such an amazing story to come up with that it just makes me want it to be true. I want him to tell more

    Julius Seizure replied to tsm007's topic in General Nursing

    And then the x-ray report will read "Atelectasis vs. infiltrates. Suggest clinical correlation." (P.S. BTDT - I am also from Michigan...around the "pinkie" area of the mitten. I'm always excited to...

    When you don't hear what the docs hear?

    Julius Seizure replied to tsm007's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that its easy to have your "hearing" be influenced by the CXR report! I've seen that. I'm pretty sure that rales is just a rarely-used-anymore synonym for crackles. Rhonchi is different....

    Have any of your patients ever told you that you're a good nurse?

    Julius Seizure replied to EquinoxSolstice92's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I recently got accepted to grad school. One of my patients families found out and made a point to tell me how excited they are for me. They said "You are going to make an amazing nurse practitioner."...

    When you don't hear what the docs hear?

    Julius Seizure replied to tsm007's topic in General Nursing

    I, too, use the word "coorifice" much more than "crackles". For lack of a better explanation, coorificeness just sounds...noisy - not that sound of clear, unobstructed air exchange that it should...

    Did I hit the sciatic nerve?

    Julius Seizure replied to Femine91's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Before doing procedures like injections on patients, it is very important to know what the "normal patient reaction" SHOULD be, so that you can know if their response deviates from it. As you learn...

    Medical marijuana in schools

    Julius Seizure replied to SiwanRN's topic in School

    The ONLY reasoning that I can think of for this is that once they are 18, they could self-administer and that might require them to kept it with them on campus? Surely there are better ways to solve...

    Can't tell if my study habits are changing for better or for worse

    Julius Seizure replied to kkfutureRN's topic in General Students

    If your grades are the same or better, then I would say your study habits have improved :). You don't get extra points based on how stressed out you can make

    Starting with an associate's degree?

    Julius Seizure replied to Dgardella's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    The biggest advice that I can give you is this: Id the job market isn't good where you live, be willing to move to another part of the country to get that first job as a hospital

    It seems that some students are not a good fit for nursing.

    Julius Seizure replied to Banana nut's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have to say, if I am honest, I was probably one of the top in my nursing class as far as book smarts. (Though I never thought the rest weren't good enough to be nursing students.) I graduated middle...

    When you don't hear what the docs hear?

    There is more than one noise that can be called a "crackle" - which makes it tricky. Additionally, sometimes crackles can also have other names: rales, coorifice, fine crackles, wet crackles, dry...

    ever seen this? false accusations about your mental health?

    Julius Seizure replied to lady constance's topic in PACU

    Yes, I think I would have said that her post seemed highly agitated even if she hadn't used the word manic. But you are correct, I probably should have chosen the word "agitated" instead. Agitated...
