Does anyone give report at the bedside? Our hospital is starting this, and I just don't understand the point.

What does Penrose Hospital start nurses at?

We have been notified that out hospital will be changing from having one hour before and after med due time to 30 minutes before and after to get meds passed. I am more than a little peeved about this, as I don't see how it will be physically possibl...

I should have listened to you!

I passed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I must say I am rather shocked!!

I took mine this morning and just know I failed. I really felt I was not "in the zone" and have looked up 4 questions and got them wrong. It was really really horrible. I just don't think I answered one question right! I didn't get any delegation (ex...

I take mine July 10th at 10:30, and I could use a little bit of prayer please!

One review book I am using is giving conflicting information, or I just don't understand, and any help would be appreciated. MRSA is droplet precautions, and according to Saunders, only gloves and gowns, but another book says you will also wear a mas...

Hi, just wanted to add my two cents The good Lord willing, I will graduate in May. I have a 15 month old with severe disabilities and a seizure disorder. I also go through the guilt of thinking that I should be working him out..doing something for hi...

I personally think nursing school is too much about the books and lectures, I would rather be in the hospital more learning more, getting hands on training. I don't see why they did away with the hospital degree programs. I would think that would be ...

If the doctor told you it was ok to give mylanta, why did you get your license suspended? I would think the most you would get would be an incident report, but to have your license suspended when the doctor said it was ok to give mylanta?

Hello. I have a baby girl in ICU, immunodepressed due to medication, on a ventilator, with a nasty pneumonia. She has been in ICU a week. The nurses here are great. They go out of their way to meet our needs. My only concern is lack of hand washing. ...

It is an hour's drive by interstate to Danville from Urbana. There is a good nursing school in Champaign, Parkland college. The program starts both fall and spring semesters, you do have to have good grades to get in. It would be alot closer for you.

I need a good website to find out uses and considerations for different IV fluids. My drug book doesn't list them, nor does my med surge book, can't find what I am looking for on a couple of drug sites I have looked at. Any help would be appreciated....

Thanks, those are good websites.

What traumatic event happened in the L&D room?

I think racism and not wanting a male RN for Ob care are two different things. I don't want a male RN for OB care, I don't want a male MD for OB care either, with all three of my children I had female midwives. I wouldn't have cared what race the mid...

My 2 yr old boy puts wadded up paper up his nose. In the past week, though, I have found some odd stuff in his diaper when he poops. One day was a little purple bead. The next day a rock I know he swallowed about 2 weeks ago. Then a little pink makeu...

NephroBSN, While you should feel proud of yourself for all the hardwork you have done, I know it would be beyond me, when did you get to spend time with your son? Just curious who was taking care of him.

I think it would be other classmates that routinely come in late to lecture. Drives me nuts. I would also have to agree with teachers (one specific instructor for me) that pulls test questions out of midair. She will say study this this and this for ...

We just started clinicals and after being shown how to do bedbaths for one time on a dummy, just were told to do it by ourselves. I am not asking for someone to hold my hand, but a little assistance and guidance the first time would have been great t...

Thanks for the responses. Glad to know I wasn't alone in my thinking!

Hello. I am in my first semester of nursing school (loving it) and am just curious. I just got done with this weeks reading of nursing health assesment, going over how you would do a complete assessment of a patient. It goes quite in depth about chec...
