  6. Mom trying to talk me out of nursing

    It sounds like your mom is jealous and has some insecurities. Now that you are pursuing your dream (good for you!) you can look at your mom from a different perspective, and realize that it is...
  7. Betamethasone & PTL

    I had betamethasone for both my pregnancies (26 weeker, 29 weeker)...I contracted like crazy within a few hours of each. However, with my first baby...I felt the contractions (ouch)....second baby (3...

  9. OR nurses & students

    shodobe... Thanks for your reply...I sure wish I would have had an opportunity to have been in a case with you! I think maybe after awhile, nurses forget what it is like to be new and forget what it...
  10. I am wondering how you control a diabetics blood sugar, monitoring and insulin, during surgery (longer surgeries I am guessing would be more of a concern). My med-surg book says that SC injections are...
  11. OR nurses & students

    I completely understand and respect what you are gathering, from your perspective...wow 43 students is quite a bit. I know for sure that this hospital doesn't see that many students...we don't have a...
  12. I am a cursed idiot

  13. controlling blood sugar during surgery

    Thank you suzanne, I didn't realize they ran insulin on a drip for surgery...I also didn't realize they would check blood sugars that often, wow. I wonder why my book doesn't have a section on this...

  15. I took Patho & Pharm at the same time, and our school is breaking down Patho into Patho 1 & 2 and Pharm into Pharm 1 & 2 for next year's incoming class. They didn't tell us this until we...
  16. I have the answer in the back of the book....try to guess the correct answer and I'll get back to give the correct answer, and to see what you guys are coming up with. I am trying to understand the...
  17. clinicals + full-time job = ?

    Ouch. I wouldn't do it....but I have kids, and that is a job in itself. I am in school, lab or clinical for 30+ hours a week, and when I get home, my kids absorb a lot of my time. KatieBell....wow,...
  18. Yes, that's my Siberian Husky Isis when she was 4 months old (she's now 3). :) There are some updated pics of her and her feline furball siblings on this page......
  19. NCLEX....I feel fortunate that my patho/pharm/med-surg professor is actually one of the question writers for NCLEX exams. He has software that he uses that actually can state whether or not the test...
  20. Good nursing books

    For Fundamentals of Nursing....my professor wrote our textbook, and he is a pretty intelligent guy...the book was laid out very nice, and easy to interpret. Lots of pictures as well....
  21. Oops, my last reply poofed on my screen...accidently replied 2x. edit...
  22. I think if was worded "call your healthcare provider" vs. hospital unit, that would have been the right answer...but I didn't look at it that way, because so far I haven't been able to experience...
  23. So "a" is the correct answer, and it was interesting to see how you worked through these. I was wrong, and chose C, because I had not heard what KatieBell said: "The reason I eliminated C is that I...
  24. Pharmacology help!
