    ckh23 replied to nurse2b013's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Your teacher has the wrong answer. You are correct in 6lbs 2.56 oz. There are 16 oz in a lb so you can't just place the 2.56 oz as .256... if you multiply 6.16 lbs by 16 oz your total weight is 98.56...

  8. Stethoscope do I have the right kind?

    ckh23 replied to Wrangler156's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Yes it has both. It has to do with how hard you press. On both the adult and the pediatric side, by just placing the stethoscope on the skin will give you the diaphragm and with firm pressure will...

  15. "Organ donor" on driver's license

    ckh23 replied to psu_213's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately some people do this because they can still collect social security checks, pensions, etc. that are meant for the patient. I have seen some families that couldn't care less about the...

  16. "Organ donor" on driver's license

    ckh23 replied to psu_213's topic in General Nursing

    Depends on the state. It is enforced in Pennsylvania and I have seen it used to over ride the family's wishes. However, those instances are far and few between. In my experience, once things are...

  17. Confusing Levo and Neo

    ckh23 replied to nu2icu's topic in Critical Care

    I had a nice little cheat card that was made up in excel. It listed pressors, both generic and trade, dosing and min and max. Neosynepherine and phenylepherine both have a "y" in it, so that might...

    ckh23 replied to violet_violet's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know. In my opinion, I don't really think they would be asking you what you need to help you progress if they are just going to fire you. From what you described it sounds like you are in a...

  21. Student Clickers?

    ckh23 replied to arbor-vitae's topic in General Students

    I used one in pharm. I actually liked them because it keeps you involved in the lecture and you can participate by answering questions anonymously. I was able to buy mine off of Amazon for

  22. CRNA nursing students who are over 40 and dismissed from their programs.

    ckh23 replied to Peggy F's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I don't see it as devaluing your stock. Once you pass the boards, you are a CRNA. You now owe it to your profession to alert the COA about these programs so something can be done about these programs...

  25. Allen's test and diagnosing

    ckh23 replied to psu_213's topic in General Nursing

    Ridiculous. That is saying the same thing as a positive Allen's Test in a round about way. An Allen's Test is not a diagnosis, it is an assessment of collateral blood flow to the hand via the ulnar...
