  1. Nursing Research Project help

    WanderingWilder replied to DH1234's topic in General Students

    Its probably hard to find nurse authors for mastectomy vs lumpectomy because they aren't nursing interventions but medical ones. What about nursing interventions to prevent infections in patients...

  2. My Opinion on Simulation Lab

    WanderingWilder replied to missnursingstudent19's topic in General Students

    I agree I hate them. I always forget the things we should ask and you are lucky if you can understand the responses you get anyway. I also am not a good actor and I just feel foolish. I have no...

  3. Teaching during nursing school

    WanderingWilder replied to callinshotz's topic in General Students

    I agree with the substitute teaching. Teachers spend a lot of time outside of school planning their lessons and grading. It probably doesn't pay as well but the lessons plans are left for you and...

  4. can you look at my ND's and goals please

    WanderingWilder replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    The insulin will push some of the K+ back into the cells where it came from. Its also looks high because the blood is more concentrated once you replace the volume the K+ will be lower not because...

  5. Military wife trying to plan nursing school

    WanderingWilder replied to daniflorida's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I wouldn't spend time getting a degree I don't intend to use. It doesn't make you a failure it makes you practical. I get the draw to have a degree after working so hard but if you aren't using those...

  6. affordable apartment with rn salary

    WanderingWilder replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    Sorry, but I don't think it will be affordable. The recommendation is that your housing should cost no more the 30% of your income, preferably 25%. At 30% you should be looking for a place around 1500...

    WanderingWilder replied to DurhamBound's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I applied last weekend for a couple of the more acute floors and i hadn't heard anything. Thursday I applied for the open house med surg floor opening and yesterday I received instructions for video...

  9. Duke New Grad Nurse Residency Summer 2018

    WanderingWilder replied to DurhamBound's topic in First Year After Licensure

    When I registered for the open house it had an option for someone who can't attend but is interested in applying. So I think you can apply for those jobs even if you can't make it

  10. Duke New Grad Nurse Residency Summer 2018

    WanderingWilder replied to DurhamBound's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I applied this weekend and I put in applications for three positions. I stayed within one area though, I applied for critical care, cardiac step down and heart services. I figure that way I'm...

  11. Stay a medical assistant or go in more debt by pursuing nursing

    WanderingWilder replied to nr92's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Most community college have pretty cheap rates. I wouldn't waste my time and money becoming an MA just so i can work as one while going for nursing. Do you know what MAs make in your area compared to...

  12. Moral dilemma? Or should I mind my own business?

    WanderingWilder replied to sasera's topic in General Students

    I think that i would wait until after the drug test and if they do manage to pass it, then maybe mention to an instructor that they talk about smoking pot all the time. chances are they are not going...

  13. Blood Pressure -Can't hear-

    WanderingWilder replied to WhitneyClark's topic in General Students

    Do you make sure you have the right side turned "on"? If i'm hearing a lot of background noise its usually because i have the bell side in the on position instead of the diaphragm. If the person...

    WanderingWilder replied to DurhamBound's topic in First Year After Licensure

    How did you go about applying for summer, I've looked at jobs on their site but the ones listed all say hiring for sept of 2017. Is there a link you could point me

  16. When do nursing programs do drug tests?

    WanderingWilder replied to helloego's topic in General Students

    We were drug tested the first month of the program and again at the beginning of the second

  17. Can you change your major to nursing junior year of college?

    WanderingWilder replied to howsoonisnow's topic in General Students

    I wouldn't waste time and money finishing a degree i don't want. Find the schools you are interested in going to and talk to admission there to find out what classes you need to take to get into a...

  18. Cannot seem to pass skilled portion of BLS

    WanderingWilder replied to thatgirl37's topic in General Students

    Make sure you are leaning over the mannequin so you are using your whole upper body to push down and not just your arms. Your shoulders should line up with your hands. I don't think it is your size...

  19. Biggest sacrifice

    WanderingWilder replied to Itwillallbeworthit23's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    All of the above. Its not like I've disappeared from my life, but I have less time for these things esp when a project is due or right before a test. Its only 15 weeks at a time though, with a month...

  20. Should I switch from mental health rotation first to med-surg (acute)?

    WanderingWilder replied to annieelu's topic in General Students

    If you found a group that you work well with I would stick with that

  21. Insecure about not graduating nursing with honors..

    WanderingWilder replied to Mshustler's topic in General Students

    I'm still in school and hoping to keep my gpa high enough to get honors. At my school that is at least a 3.3, I'm in my third semester with a 3.4. Of course I'll be happy to be able to graduate, but I...

  22. I did something in clinical that may fail me? Pls read.

    WanderingWilder replied to mzsuccess's topic in General Students

    I think you need to not worry about it, he would have read it in your charting. He said you were responsible for all care and you followed his instructions. Have some confidence in your decision...

  23. I did something in clinical that may fail me? Pls read.

    WanderingWilder replied to mzsuccess's topic in General Students

    I swear the hardest part of clinical is not knowing what is okay to do alone or with the nurse and what the instructor wants to be involved in. Has he ever said that he wants to be there for all...

  24. My Daughter is Interested in Nursing

    WanderingWilder replied to Kamilah Coney's topic in General Students

    You tell people not to judge home education and then judge public education. Don't be a hypocrite. Advice is an opinion. When you asking for advice you are literally asking for others opinions. You...

  25. My Daughter is Interested in Nursing

    WanderingWilder replied to Kamilah Coney's topic in General Students

    Maybe you should give her five minutes to decide what she wants to do in life without your pressure. She isn't even in High School and you say you "finally" convinced her. Did you start when she was...
