    OcMurse93 replied to disenchanted1's topic in General Students

  2. Why is nursing school so strict?

    OcMurse93 replied to lifeisgood00's topic in General Students

    I'm curious, did you choose nursing because you thought it would be an easier profession than being a doctor? I should hope people at your school take nursing seriously. You can literally kill someone...

  3. Nclex rn questions

    OcMurse93 replied to Salan1234's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Didn't the computer shut off? Or didn't you run out of time all together? Unfortunately if you run out off time the computer grades you on your last 60 questions. If any are wrong then it is a

  6. Help! Should I quit my job?

    OcMurse93 replied to opalbee's topic in General Students

    First, you don't owe them anything. If you made your circumstances clear and they still choose to schedule you during the week and force you to miss class, then you have every right to quit. For...

  7. Maternity is KILLING me. Is it just my school?

    OcMurse93 replied to swacho's topic in General Students

    My Maternity, Pediatrics AND Pysch rotations were all only 5 weeks. The course length, at least at my school, was determined by the amount of content on the nclex. 5 weeks is the norm, i

  8. Which of following patients is at highest risk for fluid overload?

    OcMurse93 replied to disenchanted1's topic in General Students

    If you think that these people calling you out for trying to get them to do your homework for you are "bullies" then you are going to be in for a rude awakening when you get out into the real world....

  10. IM injection question!

    OcMurse93 replied to anilaa's topic in General Students

    Patients with more subcutaneous tissue require longer needles. Typically the elderly, (which I'm assuming your reference is referring to) have very little muscle mass and almost no subcutaneous...

    OcMurse93 replied to Guest1031502's topic in General Students

    Im really sorry to hear about your predicament! Have you explored talking to them about a doctorate in nursing as opposed to a doctor of medicine? Especially given the projections for jobs in the...

  12. Failed NCLEX..first time

    OcMurse93 replied to lorilavon's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    For what its worth, you were actually very close to passing if you failed at the 265 question. That means that you were borderline on the line of competency. When you get to the 265th question, the...

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

    OcMurse93 replied to sasera's topic in General Students

  16. Blood Pressure -Can't hear-

    OcMurse93 replied to WhitneyClark's topic in General Students

    Do what everyone said, its likely your technique, not your stethoscope or your hearing. When releasing the pressure, you should see a pulsation of the needle that matches the heartbeat auscultated....

  17. Extreme Lack of Communication! Help!

    OcMurse93 replied to prettywishes's topic in General Students

    During my program, all of our instructors not only taught but also still held jobs as practicing nurses. You can't expect or demand faster response times with something such as an email. It is your...

  18. Would this risk my nursing career?

    OcMurse93 replied to Fallen_embers's topic in General Students

    Would it be frowned upon? Possibly. Is it illegal? I wouldn't say so. You can't be legally held accountable for someone else's decision to abuse

  19. Help!!! What is the priority for a sickle cell crisis.

    OcMurse93 replied to Solarod's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I disagree. Its always oxygen first. You can improve oxygenation in a matter of seconds, but it takes waaaaay longer to reverse the effects of dehydration. So you would do oxygen

  20. Question about Nursing Diagnosis

    OcMurse93 replied to Apple-Core's topic in General Students

    It also doesnt really answer what is going on if you think about it. Why are they short of breath? Do they have fluid accumulation in the lungs? Impaired gas exchange. Are they having anxiety? Acute...

  22. Quick ? about diuretics

    OcMurse93 replied to ItsThatJenGirl's topic in General Students

    You might not always give lasix with potassium. It really is up to physician preference. If the patient is getting a proper diet and their potassium is 4.4, then supplemental potassium isn't really...

  23. NCLEX PV Trick

    OcMurse93 replied to Colieebear's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The message you got is the "good pop up." Usually it means that you passed. Its a good sign. Be patient and dont worry, i havent met a single person who came out of the nclex thinking they passed,

  24. Feeling Anxiety Right Now

    OcMurse93 replied to ManWhale's topic in General Students

  25. IV push med

    OcMurse93 replied to rnstudent00's topic in General Students

    I cant imagine a test question like this, but in case it is... theoretically, you would start timing it once the medication entered the patient, not the saline, so you would then include the last 1 ml...
