  1. Forgetting to give med?

    Atlnurstudt posted a topic in School

    Hi, I'm a RN mom in GA (SAHM right now). I have an 8 year old little girl who and has ADHD & Aspergers. She takes Adderall at school around lunch time (I wrote down to give it at 11:45). It has to...

  2. Crying all day! Will my NCLEX PN be voided?

    Atlnurstudt replied to Glina's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Oh gosh, I take NCLEX on Friday and am going to be bleeding like a stuck pig from my period... Anyone know if I need to reschedule? I am going to have to take quite a few breaks I'm afraid. Since my...

  3. Kaplan CD NCLEX-RN Practice test score

    Atlnurstudt posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    What is a good score on the test on the Kaplan CD that is in the back of their NCLEX-RN review workbook? People have posted about scores on the Q trainers and Q bank but I'm not sure if the same...

  4. NCLEX IPHONE APP

    Atlnurstudt replied to cee27's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I have both. I don't use the CD anymore though b/c I love the app so much. I would guess there are duplicates, though now Saunders has 4 more apps with 1000 questions each, so if you want to lessen...

  5. Kaplan CD NCLEX-RN Practice test score

    Atlnurstudt replied to Atlnurstudt's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Well, I got a 68, so I guess that's good. But kinda cutting it close. Did you ask specifically about the CD test? The book test says 70 or better is a good score, but the chapter questions (the new...

  6. Help! Question about triple lumens...

    Atlnurstudt posted a topic in General Nursing

    I have nursing school senior check-offs on Friday (last semester). If you have a triple lumen central line and a fluid of some sort is infusing and then you have an order for a med, either IV push or...

  7. How would you handle this? Applying for PICU after your own child has been ill.

    Atlnurstudt replied to FrootLoop's topic in PICU, Pediatric

    Just wanted you to know I will be in a similar situation. I'm graduating (BSN) in December and hope to hire into the PICU. My daughter has been hospitalized in this PICU twice and this children's...

  8. Help! Question about triple lumens...

    Atlnurstudt replied to Atlnurstudt's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks...maybe that's the issue with neonates and rocephin (a pp said something about it). I would think that if they're septic, or on their way to becoming septic, that their blood flow may not be...

  9. Help! Question about triple lumens...

    Atlnurstudt replied to Atlnurstudt's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks guys! I'm all set I think if I pull a central line for check-off. The others are meds, iv meds, wound care (sterile dressing change), urinary cath, trach suction and care, and ng tubes. I...

  10. Help! Question about triple lumens...

    Atlnurstudt replied to Atlnurstudt's topic in General Nursing

    Ahhhh....my answer (I think): http://www.icufaqs.org/CentralLines.doc So the part where the three lumens appear to join actually still consists of three lumens wrapped up all in an outer plastic, or...

  11. Help! Question about triple lumens...

    Atlnurstudt replied to Atlnurstudt's topic in General Nursing

    Wow. Thanks so much! Now my stubborn brain is happy. I just can't take something and do it "just because". I don't think that's good practice, esp. when you graduate and are responsible for lives...

  12. Help! Question about triple lumens...

    Atlnurstudt replied to Atlnurstudt's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I understand the concept, and I've got my answer, I guess, but still, in triple lumens it seems like the meds hit at the same point in the catheter on it's way to the heart, here's a picture:...

  13. Help! Question about triple lumens...

    Atlnurstudt replied to Atlnurstudt's topic in General Nursing

    I know that the meds won't mix in the lumen of the triple lumens, but will they mix when they enter the blood stream and then react? I did some more research on the web and it seem that the point of...

  14. Uniforms in peds?!

    Atlnurstudt posted a topic in General Nursing

    I just interviewed for a position in a ped. ER w/in a predominently adult hospital. They are transitioning to uniforms (Nurses dark blue, techs light blue) in a few months. I don't have a problem with...

  15. Uniforms in peds?!

    Atlnurstudt replied to Atlnurstudt's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the thoughts! We can't wear printed jackets either, we can't even wear a shirt under our scrubs unless we wear same color jacket over the ensemble. It's quite strict, a bit extreme in my...

  16. Uniforms in peds?!

    Atlnurstudt replied to Atlnurstudt's topic in General Nursing

    I would define kid friendly as being scrubs that are colorful, printed, or at least have staff not all wearing the same thing, even if that means sticking to solids. Even in nursing school we aren't...

  17. Uniforms in peds?!

    Atlnurstudt replied to Atlnurstudt's topic in General Nursing

    I just think kids might feel more at ease with seeing staff that are dressed in a way that is more kid friendly...I don't know of any children's hospitals that have adapted this policy and there must...

  21. anyone starting this fall?

    Atlnurstudt replied to blee1's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I have around a 3.5/6 overall gpa. Gpa in my 7 of 12 was a 4.0 though. I had all but micro and chem 2 finished before applying (they accepted me on the basis of the other 10 grades). I had 7 As and...

  23. Need help with temp regarding MY son!

    Atlnurstudt replied to pink2blue1's topic in Pediatric

    Just something to remind yourself...you do not need permission from your ped to go to the ER. I'm the same as you though, I want my worries validated by my ped and only feel justified in going there...

    Atlnurstudt replied to pink2blue1's topic in Pediatric

    btw, in the future, go to http://www.choa.org and complete the online assesment/protocol tool they have. It's extremely helpful after

  25. Need help with temp regarding MY son!

    Atlnurstudt replied to pink2blue1's topic in Pediatric

    At this point it seems like they should do some blood work, esp. cbc and crp to evaluate for bacterial infection. I would take to ER if you're not happy with your peds assesment. One ped missed the...
