    Kuriin replied to scotthyco28's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just an FYI, some schools (or maybe, most) will have you as a cohort, so even if you take pharmacology at one school, it will not transfer in. These classes are considered co-requisites where you take...

    California State University vs. Private School

    Kuriin replied to pigbunny's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Concept mapping, client had no true diagnosis!

    Kuriin replied to Friskee's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I know it's not confirmed or anything, but, if they were vomiting or having diarrhea, could you discuss alkalosis (metabolic or respiratory)? Were ABGs ever done, by chance?

    Kuriin replied to NurseSN45696's topic in General Students

    Kuriin replied to SopranoKris's topic in General Students

    Advice for med pass

    Kuriin replied to Smouldering lotus's topic in General Students
