  1. How to get in the zone?

    Thanks all for your awesome responses. ONE more day before the weekend haul is O V E
  2. The Med Room.

    Oh sweet med room. You see me at my weakest points. Behind your code-locked doors I unleash my frustrations. In you I confide my true thoughts about patients, speaking adjectives that cannot be...
  3. How to get in the zone?

    Thank You, this most definitely helps. I'm a new grad and right now I'm just on edge like I know I'm going to eventually deal with something that'll puzzle me or make me feel completely dumb and I...
  4. How to get in the zone?

    I work Fri-Sun. On the bright side I will be off for 5 days after the weekend and beginning of next
  5. The Weak Student

    It was still unprofessional and the fact remains that you are not a registered nurse, much less a nursing professor. If the professor is relying on his students to evaluate other students, than your...
  6. The Med Room.

    I've complained about pharmacy in the med room. I have no idea what is up with the lag in delivering medications. We have both pyxis medication and medications in drawers. I'm missing a medication at...
  7. Med Admin

    Who on earth supplies 10mg of Morphine PER ONE mL? I've only seen 2mg/mL ... this question seems like it was written by stone age professors or maybe I'm unaware 10mg per 1 mL morphine. Dang! Can...
  8. Cost of Nurse Residency Program

    Yeah. If you're paying your getting ripped off. I've been paid well over 7K by now (I'm pretty sure) in just education hours which by the way also count as CEUs. We've done so many that if I could...
  9. The Med Room.

    I honestly think that this was taken way too literal and it was meant to be a comical post. It's not as if it there's yelling and cursing going on in most med rooms. But it's a good place to get away...
  10. Cost of Nurse Residency Program

    Lol glucometer certificate.
  11. LMAO the 80s? Do you feel better now buttercup? Good girl! *claps* good girl. *claps* .
  12. I don't agree with the delivery, at last someone understands I don't agree with the delivery! I agree it's (A&P) important. The delivery of the message in my opinion is pointless however. To each...
  13. I seriously think that few understand where I'm coming from. What I don't agree with is this need to act as if the seas are rising and the skies are falling because someone forgot how many lobes there...
  14. I didn't say it wasn't important or that she or he didn't need to know A&P. I simply approached it in a less grandiose and dramatic way. Simmer down. =) Don't go on to become one of those...
  15. All I can hear is womp womp womp womp. Of course this stuff matters but shooting the OP down with baseless negative foreshadows based off your preconceived notions based off her lack of knowing the...
  16. I understand that nursing school is tough and I completely understand that learning is comprehensive and compounding (been there, done that). I now can also say that nursing (the real world nursing)...
  17. Relax. SOME of these posters on here to calm down. Seriously. :cough: :cough: not going to point fingers. Yeah, sure you need to know this stuff. Trust me though, not knowing how many lobes or the...
  18. Exciting, New Chapter- Nursing

    1) Direct patient care as delegated by the registered or licensed nurse. You will provide daily cares to the patients such as: baths, feeding, walking, dressing, changing briefs, brushing teeth, and...
  19. Exciting, New Chapter- Nursing

    Vital
  20. Oh calm down and suck it up
  21. Math help

    All these questions are simple but this goes to show how school and real life nursing are so different. The heck I'm going to be adjusting rates to play catch up on some simple IVF. Maybe I shouldn't...
  22. How to make a good head to toe assessment?

    Oh also ... assessment isn't just what you gather from the pt directly but the room too! Are their SCDs on? IV pumps correct? PCA? IS at bedside? Is there family at beside? Any buckets with emesis...
  23. How to make a good head to toe assessment?

    Practicing on your young fairly healthy classmates is actually a good thing. You'll establish a baseline of what is the ballparko of normal. There is absolutely ... very little you can do to become...
  24. Oxygen Therapy

    Thanks for posing this question, I'm a new grad RN with a few months under me and some answers would be helpful. I find that MANY nursing schools neglect oxygen therapy. I'm not quite sure why....
  25. Legal terms in nursing?

    Okay, listen up. I saw your past post and can still understand that post being a sincere ask for help. THIS post is totally asking for your hw to be done for you. These are definitions, these are...
