    How to properly inject your lungs with Lysol

    They can’t. The supermarkets are out.

    Future Nurses are Brighter Than Ever

    Wuzzie replied to M1ST3R3DW1N0_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing Care plans are just pretend doctor’s orders that some over-educated academic decades ago thought would make us seem more powerful than we actually were. Now that we are more powerful they...

    Future Nurses are Brighter Than Ever

    Wuzzie replied to M1ST3R3DW1N0_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Not the students, I think anyone who makes it into nursing school now or in years past is brighter than the average bear. This sits squarely on the shoulders of the nursing programs who do, indeed,...

    Future Nurses are Brighter Than Ever

    Wuzzie replied to M1ST3R3DW1N0_RN's topic in General Nursing

    No, we have longer fellowships because current nursing students do not have the clinical experience necessary for them to function even at the basic level once they've graduated. It's a crying

    What are you doing about reading glasses and goggles

    Wuzzie posted a topic in Disaster Preparation

    Like the title says what are people who only use “readers” doing to accommodate goggles? We are supplied goggles similar to the ones I used in Chemistry class. In order to switch back and forth...

    Future Nurses are Brighter Than Ever

    Wuzzie replied to M1ST3R3DW1N0_RN's topic in General Nursing

    As I recall I specifically said that nursing has, indeed, changed but the vast majority of what we learn is after we become nurses, most certainly anything that can be considered advanced. The basics...

    Future Nurses are Brighter Than Ever

    Wuzzie replied to M1ST3R3DW1N0_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I never said we had it harder but we certainly didn't have it as easy as the OP made it sound. Also, did not notice anyone here saying the younger generations are dumb and know for sure I didn't. I...

    Need help with syringe test question?

    Wuzzie replied to mzsuccess's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Maybe, maybe not. What is the concentration of medication per ml. In other words, how many mg of medication per ml of fluid? The concentration has absolutely nothing to do with the syringe

    Need help with syringe test question?

    Wuzzie replied to mzsuccess's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    It depends on the concentration of the medication. The syringe does not affect that. You can not accurately draw up a dose of 0.15 ml in a 3 ml syringe. Not sure what you mean by the “bevel” bit...

    Friends

    Wuzzie replied to Luckyone13's topic in General Nursing

    Being supportive is completely acceptable. Seeing him as anything more than one of your patients is crossing a line and could spell trouble in the future. Probably best not to make these coffee dates...

    Bagging ETT

    Wuzzie replied to stacylethani's topic in Critical Care

    Unless the kid has certain cardiac anomalies by the time their sats are in the 40’s you are beyond mouth care and nearing code status. Anytime a peds patient sats drop the very first thing you need...

    Future Nurses are Brighter Than Ever

    Wuzzie replied to M1ST3R3DW1N0_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Not a typo. That's how hard it was to get in the school I went to. ACT score of 21 is average. They didn't want average. Getting in was only half the battle. Anything below a B was a fail. The rules...

    Future Nurses are Brighter Than Ever

    Wuzzie replied to M1ST3R3DW1N0_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Oh please. Three decades ago it was just as hard. We had to go through the same thing except instead of the TEAS we had the SAT AND the ACT (on which you had to score a 30 or better). Interviews with...

    Should nurses be getting involved in the Reopen America protests nationwide?

    Wuzzie replied to A Hit With The Ladies's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I don't disagree with you about a controlled re-opening because we can't keep this up for much longer without monumental collateral damage however, not sure that Sweden is the best model to follow at...

    Does it annoy you when you see employees with little to no direct patient care wearing much needed PPE

    Wuzzie replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I get annoyed with the non-clinical, essential personnel who have somehow managed to convince the powers that be that they have a health issue that requires them to wear a hospital-supplied N-95...

    While I understand your being upset the truth of the matter is your grades shouldn't have been so borderline that one test caused you to fail the whole class. I don't hear you taking any...

    Will an LVN, RN, or BSN route open up more opportunities for working outside of bedside?

    Wuzzie replied to Aprilj09's topic in General Nursing

    A better way to look at it is just a stop on the journey to where you want to be. Good luck in your future
