  1. Help!!!!! What is the priority in sickle cell cris?

    Heliantus replied to Sulyan's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    ABC- airway, breathing, curculation. Sickle cells are defective red blood cells, therefore they do not carry enough oxygen -thus hypoxia. So administering oxygen would be the priority. I'd then...

  3. Nursing School Makeup (clinicals)

    Heliantus replied to NurseYomi's topic in General Students

    Be careful with make up, most clinical professors will make you go home if they deem it inappropriate/too heavy. Personally I make sure to exfoliate and moisturizer my face so that my skin looks...

  5. Should I take Biology Lab before Anatomy?

    Heliantus replied to mirandataylor's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Biology is extremely basic, it's pretty much stuff that you learn in high school. I wouldn't worry about it too much and just take anatomy. That's what I did anyway, and had an

  6. Bunion surgery

    Heliantus replied to Heliantus's topic in General Nursing

    Pain is such a subjective thing isn't it! I'm glad you had a good experience with bunion surgery. How bad were they? What kind of surgery did you have? I'm sure the pain level is directly related to...

    Heliantus posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi! I had a surgery on Friday on my right foot. My big toe had a moderate bunion as well as my pinky toe (tailors bunion). Doctor had to break both bones. My question is if anyone has some experience...

    Heliantus replied to Heliantus's topic in General Nursing

    Try toe separators, they help a lot with the pain. I even wore them with my shoes! It's a temporary relief

  9. Bunion surgery

    Heliantus replied to Heliantus's topic in General Nursing

    Just something to think about, as we get older recovery will be much harder, healing slowed. As well as the severity of the bunion will require a more complicated, and more involved surgery. My bunion...

  10. Bunion surgery

    Heliantus replied to Heliantus's topic in General Nursing

    I think I know why the orthopedist had that opinion(about both feet at the time). The pain truly is excruciating, although my mind has already blocked it out, just like when I had my daughter. I...

  12. Bunion surgery

    Heliantus replied to Heliantus's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for your reply. I figured as much from reading up on this type of surgery on other forums. Different people have different experiences. I've heard that nurses are very prone to bunions and this...

    Heliantus replied to Heliantus's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for replying! I wasn't actually looking for medical advise. Thought that maybe some people out there Also had this procedure done and have something to share. Like how long were they in bed,...

  14. "No One Respects My Religious Beliefs"

    Heliantus replied to Mikey31079's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I don't think that praying is the problem here. The problem is that this nurse leaves the floor without making sure that someone can/wants to cover for her. She cannot leave the patients for whatever...

  15. "No One Respects My Religious Beliefs"

    Heliantus replied to Mikey31079's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I could not understand what you wanted to say by this post? Time for prayers is not set? So she can pray at home, and not endanger patients? Am I the only one

    Heliantus replied to Snow321's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I know a few women that were pregnant during school, and to be honest they always looked miserable. Not enough sleep, not enough time to study. One woman took a semester off, and when she came back...

    Heliantus replied to helpers56's topic in New York Nursing

    Your fathers is right, all it matter is the end is that you have a license. This question whether or not school has any impact on finding a job has been discussed a bazillion time, and everyone agrees...

  21. A nurse who doesn't breastfeed

    Heliantus replied to j0yegan's topic in Ob/Gyn

    For me it's not an issue who does what with their children. I think the dilemma comes from moms that are fully capable of breastfeeding, yet choose not to. One girl I know said that her boobs will...

    Heliantus replied to Sabr's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You will go very far with that mind set! Let me ask you this, when you go to the store it anywhere else where you don't know people do you disrespect them? Since you say respect has to be earned...
