    Kuriin replied to MLSruns800's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Do separate Norco orders stand alone

    Kuriin replied to elli3's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    NURSE ANESTHETIST QUESTION: Mathematics of Nursing

    Kuriin replied to nursedani2020's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    This is the wrong subforum. I recommend checking out this: https://allnurses.com/certified-registered-nurse/ I would also recommend you asking the CRNAs of the hospital that you do clinical rotation...

    What will my day be like?

    Kuriin replied to LPNTOBE2017's topic in Medical-Surgical

    I am similar to pmabraham. I will do as many assessments and vitals before 8am, then begin med pass in addition to finishing up any missed out assessments. I've gotten to the point where I can do an...

    Foley catheter tray placement?

    Kuriin replied to BekahDavis's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    School was wrong on this one. You place both trays between the legs creating the long sterile field to the urethra. You use a separate table for the sterile gloves (that is, if you HAVE a separate...

    Feel stupid

    Kuriin replied to Cat365's topic in Emergency

    I wanted to be in the ED, but decided to do medsurg to stay close to my husband. Let me tell you this: most ED nurses don't look at the WHOLE picture. They focus on what is happening there. Most ED...

    Question about Preceptorship

    Kuriin replied to aship's topic in General Students

    I always tell students that I see on the floor to avoid doing a medsurg preceptorship since you will be doing a lot of it in school. I personally recommend a critical care (ICU/ED, etc)

    Hi I'm doing a case scenario and Can you help me?

    Kuriin replied to sirius11's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Patients can go with IV pumps to most imaging studies. The only one that is excluded is the MRI. XRs are also less than 15 minutes long, so it's not like you would be committing a med error if you...

    Dealing with faeces?

    Kuriin replied to ToastaHands's topic in General Students

    Just wait until you lean down to pull down a person's underwear before they sit down on the toilet and they let out a fart right in your face. Yes. This happened to me yesterday. -.- Thank God it...

    Drug testing in Nursing Programs? (Anoka Ramsey CC)

    Kuriin replied to sillycracker456's topic in General Students

    Very bizarre that someone mentioned a school did a random drug test. Normally they only do those types of things if something warrants it (suspicion). Most schools require drug testing before the...

    Kuriin replied to missS's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    You could get Davis' Success for Medical-Surgical Nursing. It's a book full of NCLEX styled questions. Perhaps your brain just doesn't know how to answer those types of questions, yet? BTW,...
