  1. Persistant low grade fever in 21 month-old.

    Atlnurstudt posted a topic in Pediatric

    Hi! I'm a future nursing student starting a BSN program this Fall (yeah)! My daughter (21 months) has been running fever now (intermittant, as I think it goes down while she's sleeping) for 12 days....

  2. Persistant low grade fever in 21 month-old.

    Atlnurstudt replied to Atlnurstudt's topic in Pediatric

    Well now her fevers are the least of my worries. On July 4th she aspirated a piece of apple into her right broncus. Same thing happened less than a year ago with a piece of chicken. She's now had 2...

  3. Need help with temp regarding MY son!

    Atlnurstudt replied to pink2blue1's topic in Pediatric

    103.5 isn't a huge deal in a 17 month-old who is acting OK. Protocol (at least at my children's hosp.) is take to ER if over 103.5 and under 15 months old. My little one spiked 103.5 at 15 months...

  4. Persistant low grade fever in 21 month-old.

    Atlnurstudt replied to Atlnurstudt's topic in Pediatric

    We went to see ID this week and doc seems to think it can be normal for her. It is supposedly within the range of normal. Another possibility is chronic inflamation in her lungs due to reactive...

  5. Persistant low grade fever in 21 month-old.

    Atlnurstudt replied to Atlnurstudt's topic in Pediatric

    Hi, Just wanted to say thanks for the links and advice. I'm going to see ID hopefully next week. Just seems so crazy for this to have gone on for so long. I'm starting to think she's just a hot...

  6. Persistant low grade fever in 21 month-old.

    Atlnurstudt replied to Atlnurstudt's topic in Pediatric

    This is getting maddening. It's gone up this week. 101 to 101.5 everyday. Anyone know if this COULD be a normal temp. I checked in the middle of the night this last week and it was 95.6. Talk...

  7. Persistant low grade fever in 21 month-old.

    Atlnurstudt replied to Atlnurstudt's topic in Pediatric

    Well 5.5 weeks now and she still has fever (mostly only in the afternoon/evening). Switched back to old ped. Drew new blood work today including repeats of sed. rate and cbc (looking for IgM and IgG)...

  8. Nursing School and Weight Gain

    Atlnurstudt replied to ladydame's topic in Pediatric

    Portions, portions, portions. Eat whatever you like but only eat until you no longer feel hungry, not until you're full...it's two totally different things. Go easy on the fried and rich foods as...

  9. Persistant low grade fever in 21 month-old.

    Atlnurstudt replied to Atlnurstudt's topic in Pediatric

    Hey! Well, we took her in. They did a ton of blood work, cbc, crp, sed rate, chemistries, mono spot, cultures. They did urinalysis and culture. And they did a chest x-ray. Everything so far is...

  10. Persistant low grade fever in 21 month-old.

    Atlnurstudt replied to Atlnurstudt's topic in Pediatric

    Hey, It was 100.8 today so my husband and I are going to take her in to the ER at the children's hosp. where she had her heart surgery tomorrow morning. Hopefully they will at least rule out...

  11. Persistant low grade fever in 21 month-old.

    Atlnurstudt replied to Atlnurstudt's topic in Pediatric

    Update: Was 100.7 tonight. So frustrating. I wish it would be either definitely not fever at all, or a moderate fever so I have a little more clout when I talk to the doctor...it's just so on the...

  12. Persistant low grade fever in 21 month-old.

    Atlnurstudt replied to Atlnurstudt's topic in Pediatric

    Thanks, I thought so too but my friend who works in pediatric ICUs said that it's still considered a low grade fever(100)...it was always my understanding that 100.3 and up is

  13. Persistant low grade fever in 21 month-old.

    Atlnurstudt replied to Atlnurstudt's topic in Pediatric

    Thanks for all of the advice so far, I didn't even think of going to the ER. I did look up some info on endocarditis and that definitely seems possible. Would I be able to hear some sort of murmur...

  14. Tee vs. No Tee

    Atlnurstudt posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hey, This is a bit of an odd question... Do you usually wear a t-shirt under your scrub top? (I know you probably do during the winter, but what about during fairly warm/hot weather? I guess the...

  15. Persistant low grade fever in 21 month-old.

    Atlnurstudt replied to Atlnurstudt's topic in Pediatric

    Hey, With the exception of Mon. and Tues. this week, my daughter has continued to have a fever, highest 101.5 rectal, usually under 101, between 100.4 and 101 rectal. She did have a CBC and sed rate,...

  16. Tee vs. No Tee

    Atlnurstudt replied to Atlnurstudt's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks everyone! I have the problem that I'm short (5'2'') and weight about 105-110 so I'm REALLY having trouble finding tops to fit (I found pants pretty quick, the hoochy mamma Dickies fit me just...

    Atlnurstudt replied to nurse yvonne's topic in Georgia Nursing

    That's how they treated me too! They assume you're not good enough for their program from the first conversation! Crazy...they need to realize that some of us are really good students who want to be...

  18. Persistant low grade fever in 21 month-old.

    Atlnurstudt replied to Atlnurstudt's topic in Pediatric

    Hi, I haven't taken her to the doc. yet (I feel really guilty about that but I have a Micro Lab final in about an hour; I can only handle so much in one day ) The CBC she had done a month ago was...

    Just found out that at Kennesaw you get Fridays off...nice :)

  21. Just Found Out I Failed

    Atlnurstudt replied to Triple A's's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would look at the reason WHY you failed...did you study? How much? Did you read the chapters in the book word for word? If not, I would try that first. If you've already done all that, then you...

  22. I'm pregnant...is peds ok?

    Atlnurstudt replied to Hooligan's topic in Pediatric

    I would go with your comfort level...I was an elementary school teacher while pregnant with my little girl and I was certainly exposed to just about everything, I'm sure (I taught French, so I had...

  23. Accepted at Both!! What do I do???

    Atlnurstudt replied to student79's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, first I want to say congratulations! :balloons: I am at GA Perimeter right now finishing up pre-reqs and I considered going to their ASN program but got turned off by the negativity and...

  24. I got in at Kennesaw!

    Atlnurstudt replied to Atlnurstudt's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Hi Well I talked to Fran Paul today and confirmed that I was admitted to the "Traditional" program. She did, however, place me on the stand-by list for "Accelerated." I also found out that they have...

  25. I got in at Kennesaw!

    Atlnurstudt posted a topic in Georgia Nursing

    Well I got in...I'm pretty happy about that but I was hoping to get into the accelerated program and from my letter it seems that I only got into the traditional program (which isn't particularly easy...
