I have to choose ones that would be considered the most priority

Hey guys, so I'm having some difficulty coming out with a second nursing diagnosis for my colostomy patient. Quick info, 22 yo male with Crohn's disease with subhepatic abscess, had a colostomy bag, it was replaced, along with a left and right JP drain. he is NPO. Labs are all pretty normal besides increased CK, and decreased H/H. I already used impaired skin integrity. Can't use risk for infection because he has one, ineffective airway clearance doesn't really apply. Normal I/O's. Any suggestions?

Hello all! I just recently got my acceptance letter and am very excited! I went to undergrad in DC so I am a little familiar with public transportation/location. The campus is in Ashburn, VA which is pretty close to Dulles Airport, about 30-45 minutes outside the city. However i would recommend not relying on public transportation AT ALL. The metro can be pretty unreliable and is only open 6am - midnight on weekdays and 7am- 2am on weekends. Using public transportation for clinicals seems like it could be problematic. As for living, does anyone have any suggestions? I'm think the best place would be on the outskirts of DC. That way your somewhat in the middle of classes/where clinicals could be. Thoughts?

So I am officially attending Drexel's ACE program in the Fall. I have sooo many questions and if anyone could/is willing to answer some that would be great! 1) where should I live? On-Campus, Off-campus? Suggestions? From what I saw online it looks like the Stiles building is about $16,000 for the 11 months. Would living off campus be worth the inconvience of saving a couple of thousand on loans? 2) Clinicals: How far are they away from the school? I'm sure there are some close and far, but whats the farthest travel? 3) Lastly, what can you expect the daily schedule to be? Thanks! Amanda
