    JentheRN05 replied to time4mydream's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The number you end with doesn't matter, I passed with 83 questions, which means I must have missed one of the ones going up the ladder, so they had to reassess by building up a few more questions. So...

    What is the reason for packing a wound?

    JentheRN05 replied to christvs's topic in Wound, Ostomy, Continence

    Yes scientifically speaking it is for debridement. It is a sort of wick so to speak. Soaking up infection/pus/fluids and getting them away from the body. When you remove the packing, you are removing...

    God bless my aides!

    JentheRN05 replied to nursemike's topic in General Nursing

    I feel the same way about my aides. If I didn't have them I'd be sunk. I try desperately not to abuse them in any way. I help them with their work when I have mine caught up. What I did, right or...

    my dad broke his hip =(

    JentheRN05 replied to RNin2007's topic in General Nursing

    As Meownsmile said, and as a nurse on an ortho/neuro floor I tend to agree, at his age, it is critically important that he does his Incentive spirometer faithfully. The biggest threat at his age is...

    This may help you when preparing for NCLEX

    JentheRN05 replied to BlessedbyGod's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs
