    WGU will not accept me

    Kuriin replied to jenam2you's topic in Western Governors University

    This thread is silly. You are sillier for even mentioning this. I would say a majority of new grad RNs have to move for their first job. Deal with

    Failed out of nursing school

    Kuriin replied to nursingstudent65's topic in General Students

    1) You did not fail out of nursing school. 2) Fundamentals is often the "harder" nursing class because you are learning how to take NCLEX (or HESI/ATI) styled questions. Chin up. Look at your...

    Help me with vital please..

    Kuriin replied to sok92's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm terrified that you are a CNA yet you don't know the basic abbreviations for vital signs are, nor does it sound like you even know how to take vital

    Why do Critical Care nurses look down their noses at Med-Surg nurses?

    Kuriin replied to marisatheresa's topic in Critical Care

    This is the most disrespectful post in this thread. I know this is an old post, too. This is one of the main reasons why I dislike giving ICU nurses report. Our RRT ICU nurses are some of the nicest...

    Is the NANDA Dx the end-all-be-all??

    Kuriin replied to Mrs.D.'s topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Little strange you guys would put a nasal cannula on her if you knew she was mouth breathing...lol. To answer your question, NANDA are evidenced based and supported through interventions via research....

    Pouchitis

    Kuriin replied to enfermeratobe's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    While psychosocial is an important factor, I don't believe "Risk for depression" is a good one in this case. Your others are physiological and are very important, so I agree. *thumbs

    IV Rate Problems!

    Kuriin replied to becher.nicole's topic in General Students

    Lets make it simpler. You know if it's to be infused in an hour, it would be 125mL because 125mL/hr = 125mL/hr. But, this wants you to infuse it in HALF the time (30 minutes). Wouldn't you double the...

    Too bad sweetheart, guess it's cold food for you..

    Kuriin replied to overit013's topic in General Students

    Uhh...sorry, but no. Not being able to microwave food when there is clearly one in the break room is absurd. May I suggest to you never be a clinical

    Critical Thinking- Hesi

    In the example you gave in the original post, washing hands would most likely always be the answer as infection control is a major component of HESI and

    BP

    Kuriin replied to neogirl's topic in General Students

    Unless you're an EMT/Paramedic (which I see you are), or work in a clinic that doesn't offer an automatic sphygmomanometer, it definitely for me takes a while to palpate the brachial pulse. Maybe it's...

    BP

    Kuriin replied to neogirl's topic in General Students

    I feel like you only do this in the skills lab to get checked off. For me, it is simply too annoying to find the brachial pulse due to either fat or muscle. TL;DR: You don't need to palpate for...

    With a criminal record should I even try to get into nursing school?

    Question about mixing benzylpenicilin

    There's not enough information in the original post to help you with the calculation. The only advice we can give you is to look up this specific drug up in your drug

    How do I peel pill packets without meds flying everywhere!

    Kuriin replied to hs4zu's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Most of the meds in the packs can be pushed through. You have to be careful though with meds like Synthroid as they are easily broken when you do this. I think that's the only medication (Maybe...

    Math before Anatomy and Physio

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

    Some schools require biology as a prerequisite for both A & P while others require chemistry before physiology. I personally would recommend taking Bio 101 then chemistry and then A &

    Hep B vaccine schedule question...I screwed up.

    Kuriin replied to PhillyRNtoBe's topic in General Students

    I guess I'm just confused why you didn't just get your titers checked instead first? If you go to an in house lab, you would get your titers back pretty much same

    How do you introduce yourself to other health care professionals?

    Kuriin replied to ital91's topic in General Students

    This is what we used when I was a student. I had one nurse who I was giving report to actually say, "They letting students give report now?". I don't understand how some nurses can be so moronic and...

    Pearson Vue Trick Good pop up, then bad pop-up?!

    Kuriin replied to Bchow410's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I finished my NCLEX in about 40 minutes. Don't knock yourself just because you may finish something fast. And yes, that is the good popup.
