A few years back the college next to where I live had 6 teenagers go to the hospital because they had been giving themselves wine enemas. We don't ban enemas because of a few people being stupid. And as far as a 30 something dying, was he immune com...

I am a second semester nursing student and I am dreading the first catheter I have to do on a real person. I feel completely unprepared to do it (I may feel better after I see someone at clinical do it on a real person). I know how based off of Sim...

I am done with this. These are attacks when people question if I am stealing from my school. And as far as 'no one agrees with you'. Not true https://allnurses.com/nursing-student-assistance/question-about-clean-165831.html Using catheters at home...

What is scary is that the cookies on my browser seem to know more than you do (with 30+ years experience) since I have been getting advertisements for catheters as I have been writing this. Fact, some people do self catheter Fact, I have more experie...

The only person being attacked here is me. And extensive education? While I fully admit I am not comfortable with my skill level at this kind of thing I am willing to bet anything that I have committed more time in lab doing this than someone who ha...

I will give your ignorance a pass since you didn't bother to look at where my "google search" came from. It ended in .gov If you don't know what that means I suggest you look it up. For cry'n out loud. Go on amazon and see that you can buy them

First off, love the nursing responses on this. The fact any of you are allowed around patients says a lot. Where would I get the equipment? I have already BOUGHT it. They came my first semester as part of my school supplies. The fact that you tho...

It is nice that you don't have to worry about the money aspect of it (presuming than you will not have to work). My advice is if you do it, than do it (no half measures). I was a straight A student before nursing school, and I am studying more than...

I will say the same thing to you as I have said to all of the people I have met in my life with your circumstance. Buck up buttercup. Whether it be Europe or here I am so sick of how everyone strives to be a victim. Years ago when I got my history ...

To play devil's advocate because I do not know the OP or her husband, you should see what "is not the best" really means. My best friends mother told him that the reason that his father did not show up to his little league games is because he didn't...

If anyone could give me a heads up on this I would appreciate it. I am trying to find how the parkland formula differs with kids. I have the adult down, and I know the difference in body ratio per body part on a kid. What I have not been able to fi...

Thank you, but I was referring to the amount of fluids you would give them. Do you still multiply by the same - Kg X 4ml X burn percentage? Also if there is any other major difference between caring for children or adults with burns? I assume you wo...

I have had issues with some of the subjective questions. Practice questions do help, but there seems to be very little consistency. My first week of school one of the questions was about a woman asking about abortion (and as a hypothetical I am pro...

There is not an easy answer to healthcare, but there is an easy answer to your question. The countries you are speaking of have (almost) no national defense. Their sovereignty is owed to our huge capital expenditure to ensure their safety. We are g...

Nurses "deserve" what people are willing to pay them; no more, no less. When you go into what someone deserves based off of any other value than what someone is willing to pay for that service you invite economic craziness. Your friends may make that...

Neither the Republicans nor the Democrats are going to be able to make healthcare affordable because neither of them understand why it is expensive (or choose to ignore). To start with, health insurance is not healthcare. There is a finite amount o...

Sorry, I just can't help it. You just threw out a bunch of generalizations on things you believe about poor migrants that do pay taxes and do supply their own healthcare w/o a shred of proof (as in a primary source) and than go on to criticize my ar...

I have had jobs in the past where I have dealt with people whom I do not agree with, nor respect. My job was not to tell them my views, or to try to change theirs. I have always succeeded in any of these jobs because I have never let my personal fe...

No, What Obama did was change how the numbers were counted. Before people taken at the border and deported in a day or 2 were not counted. BO counted them. It would be like someone saying that the hospital has had more traffic than ever before bec...

Thank you for that. I was not aware that existed. I find it a bit absurd that it does, since the government is in essence saying "It is against the law to be here illegally, but if you do we have set up the system for you". This seems rather crazy...

Here is where having a degree in history helps. There are things called "primary sources". I stated an Arizona law and the Supreme Court as well what the president's policy change on what a "deportation" actually is. Those are undisputed. Arizona ...

If you are talking about forged documents than you can add that as another crime. If this is so impossible, why did the federal government intervene and it go to the supreme court when Arizona was going to check ID (as in a driver's license) when t...

I didn't miss it because it isn't true. BO changed the way that the numbers are counted (kind of like how he claims we almost have full employment despite the fact that worker participation is at an all time high). As far as my education goes, I ha...

These things are not "free", and yes saying "how dare she *fill in the blank*" is a great question. How dare anyone steal services? If you think that these thins are essential I suggest you donate your check to them and buy these things for them. ...

If Satan himself came in needing burn ointment from him torturing souls in hell I would need to treat him as well as I would treat Jesus Christ. That being said, everyone should be I.D.'d when they come in. All of us have to have a background check ...
