I figured why not ask on allnurses before going into work tmmrw to have some idea...

BittyBabyGrower: Cap what? The line?..If so, do I take a white cap from the NS syringe & put it on the line? Also thank you for your speedy response :-)

For my last year of school (traditional BSN Nursing; I took 5 years instead of 4 b/c I failed one course my first year of the program), I was complaining a LOT & became emotionally dependent on my boyfriend of 4.5 years. I was in totally denial t...

I plan on doing the following: -All the questions in the "Prioritization, Delegation, and Assignment, 3rd Edition" By Linda A. LaCharity -Questions following each chapter in the "Saunders Comprehensive Review for the NCLEX-RN Examination", 6e book (I...

Thanks everyone for their responses. Just letting you know I passed NCLEX in 75 questions on Dec 2nd! :)

SATA: Select All That Apply I took NCLEX in May and did not pass. I'm re-taking it end October. When I first took NCLEX there was SO many SATA questions & prioritization questions. I was wondering if anyone has some magical/enlightening advi...

Hi everyone – I took NCLEX for the first time in July, post graduating in May. When I took it I failed, scored near passing” on all the areas and it shut off early. 1 week after my boyfriend of 5 years cheated on me. I was devastated/super depre...

The nurse knows which of the following clinical manifestations indicate severe dehydration? Select all that apply. Cool limbs Faint pulse Obtunded LOC Capillary refill time of 2 seconds Extreme thirst Bradycardia Pain over lower back Explanation • ...

Thank you Lev I understand that HR increases initially, and then decreases overtime once dehydration becomes severe. As for the pulse..I've read (in my NCLEX book..Saunders) that it increases with SEVERE dehydration.. But..this question above (from...

I agree amandab13, LPN, he is sounding like a total douche Haha I actually had some ice cream last night, chocolate :) And my friend suggested some Alanis Morissette haha. *hug

Sorry AlphaM, BSN, MSN, RN, "may have meant well"? Shouldn't he have stood by me no matter what if he loved me? And it sounds like this girl was chasing after him. She's only her 2nd year into college, a not so serious major.., and probably a lot mor...

Thank you ktwlpn - I just feel like I was a mess my last year, it didn't help seeing my friends graduate a year ahead of me and failing that one course hung a lot of stress over my shoulder as semesters dragged on. I shouldn't have complained so much...

The least restrictive method is verbal intervention. The patient should be allowed to stay in public areas if possible, and then moved to isolated spaces. Finally, if nothing else works, the patient can be physically restrained for safety purposes. (...

I always see nurses wearing cute headbands in the hospital. I want some myself! haha. Does anyone buy a particular brand of headbands they like?

I'm studying Hyperparathyroidism

I am studying for my NCLEX and these side effects are listed and I can't remember these side effects if I have no idea what causes them! I do know that Tamoxifen is an antiestrogen that decreases the effects of estrogen by blocking estrogen in estro...

I'm sorry flyersfan88, BSN, RN I didn't mean to be offensive. I just have trouble remembering main concepts (in this instance, the common side effects for a hormonal cancer therapy) if I don't understand the "why" behind it. Also - I can't teach my p...

Thanks loveofrn!! Your explanation helped tons. I had trouble connecting all the dots. I didn't even think bone marrow suppression = hypercalcemia. And everything after that just follows

flyersfan88, BSN, RN, if I don't understand how Tamoxifen works then I can't understand the side effects of it. I need to know the side effects for Tamoxifen because it is the primary hormone therapy given to patients with early stages of breast canc...
