Hey Y'all, I was just accepted into an evidence based nursing practice fellowship program. I have proposed a project that would look at how we as nurses handle healthcare associated delirium (HCAD) in the acute care setting. Specifically, I will be l...

I think being self aware like you are is so important to be empathetic and provide good nursing care. However, I think we are forgetting how to provide patient centered care and tayoling what procedures we do to our patients. I think as male nurses, ...

I am senior nursing student in my final rotation through an ICU. During the day my preceptor had the code pager. We responded to a cardiac arrest code. We did compressions for 45 minutes while pushing emergent medications (Epi, atropine, dopamine) an...

Hi All, So I landed an interview with Vanderbilt University hospital. I am over the moon, but as I started to do my interview prep, I started to think about what I should be wearing. I'm a male new grad interviewing for the residency program at VUMC....

GrnTea, that's genius!!!

Please keep personal disagreements to private communication. Thank you.

The vest would be worn without the jacket and I agree first impressions are HUGE! I appreciate the feedback.

Thank you for your response. You touched on a culutre difference so I really appreciate that.

So I'm graduating from my BSN program in August (8/7...88days 2 hours and 38 minutes in case I was counting). I live in Michigan, but will be applying for jobs in Tennessee and Michigan. When I register for the test can I register for multiple states...

Yes, thank you. I know it's 2 seperate licenses, I just say "transfer" for the sake of not typing it all out. I'm kind of still in college mode where transfering credits is a thing. So I'm moving from one universtiy health system to another so my bra...

Thanks for the info! I'll probably get licensed in Michigan then and transfer the license once I have it an dif I need to. I just hope the employer will be patient if I have to transfer my license.

I'm relatively new to geriatric care and definitely new to homecare and I have a question for you all. A client lives at home with her husband and grown son. She is in her late 50's with a complicated medical hx. Hx includes hx of myelodysplasia synd...

We've talked about a HHA, but she is really resistant to the idea. I didn't drive her in my personal vehicle, it's part of an ambulant care. We have a protocol, a partner, and EMS training on how to transport patients. I appreciate the suggestion ...

Not in my personal vehicle. I worked for an ambulatory home health service. We have a specially equipt vehicle and stamard protocol for transporting patients using a partner. Simply we're home care nurses with ems training.

Hi, I am working this semester building care plans for home care nurses to intervene on cases of elder abuse and neglect. I working on nursing diagnoses (using NANDA labels). I am usually really good at these, but seem to be falling flat. My patient ...

I am using Nursing diagnosis applications to clinical practice (14th ed 2013) by Carpenito so it's still "x diagnosis" r/t this s/t that AEB these things. I have not used or instructed to use the new NANDA-I 2015-2017. Thanks for the feedback though....

Finish your RN, take the chance with stats. Have you worked with a Tutor? or taking stats on another school? like a community college or online?

First, I agree with all the responses above. We are students we are going to make mistakes and when we graduate and get our license we will be nurses, we are going to make mistakes. There is no such things as a perfect nurse. However, I think I know ...

We started with 56 (have since lost 3 I think), but we have 6 guys and we're never in the same clinical group.
