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 probably administer morfine to decrease O2 demand, Then...

Thought of this thread when I read this https://news.brown.edu/articles/2013/06/breastfeeding

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 fresh and healthy. I then dab a bit of concealer under...

And nursing school is not "real world"?

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 A+.

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 this factor. I had two toes broken and screws put i...

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 with this type of surgery? How long will it take ...

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

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 was in a moderate state, yet it still required bo...

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 remember that I was in agony, but I don't really rememb...

Thank you so much!!! I live on the fourth floor, so as you can imagine- many stairs. I will definitely check out the knee walker! Thanks a bunch!

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 forum seemed like a good place to post.

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, was it incredibly painful, and if they are happie...

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 the reason. What if one of them dies? Is that a ri...

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 lost?

I'm so sorry about your car accident. Also, I'm sorry that you are struggling with your weight, and the way people perceive and treat you because of it! I know how hard it is! While I'm not over weight, my mother is, and no matter how hard she tries...

??made my night with one word

When you did practice questions, where you getting them right? Get a few NClex practice question book, and practice, practice, practice. See which areas you're weak in, and focus on them. Then after you have read the material, do practice questions a...

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 said that it was extremely hard to get into the rout...

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 that it does not. Good luck to you with whatever...

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 sag, pardon my language, that's not an acceptable rea...

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 let's just be nasty to random people in our life, beca...

That's the first time that I've heard this. Did the hospital ask you about your marital status???

Would like to know as well!

My child is a toddler and I absolutely apply SPF for her. We had a teaching session with her, so she isn't resistant to do it.
