    vanilla bean replied to Mrhill's topic in General Students

    PPs have given some good advice. I'd like to concur that rote memorization in nursing school is rarely helpful (an exception would be something like lab values, however you still need to understand...

    O2 protocol 89 vs 90%

    vanilla bean replied to man23SN's topic in General Nursing

    I can't speak to the liability issue, but if your facility's protocol is for "O2 to maintain sats >90%," then that means that oxygen is applied when sats are 90% or less. Of course, it's reasonable...

    Here's the good news: you're not a nurse yet, so you can't be an awful nurse. Here's the bad news: wait, there isn't any... you're a student and learning how to work through ethical dilemmas (as you...

    Screwed Over by My School

    Wow. The school I graduated from only confers BSN degrees twice a year - in May and in December. My program finished in August, but that still meant my degree was not awarded until December. I was...

    Does this make a bad nurse/aide?

    vanilla bean replied to Rocktheman's topic in Nursing Career

    If it makes you feel any better, I think the nurse showed a lack in judgement by telling you it was OK to use Vaseline to the nares of someone getting oxygen via a nasal cannula. And, oh ya, gross. As...
