  1. Are care plans valuable?

    nurseprnRN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    For what it's worth, if you are remembering the old NANDA from when we old bats were in school, you don't know what it's like now. This, the current NANDA-I, is not your mama's NANDA. It's very...

  2. Are care plans valuable?

    nurseprnRN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I review medical records for legal purposes. I want to tell you that someday, someone will be reviewing the charting and the care plans you have on record. I have reviewed records for LTC, AL,...

  3. RN Diagnosis Chronological order

    nurseprnRN replied to allinoneplace01's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    That's what I thought. In planning care, "priority" means, "What's the most important?" It could be the thing you'll do first, like "Get this patient to safety," or,"Clear the airway," or, "Prevent...

  4. Nurses found out what im making, dont know how ?

    nurseprnRN replied to arack05's topic in General Nursing

    Why on earth would you lose your job or raise because of others' gossip? Proportion here, as in, let's have a sense of. I agree, go do your job and act like the people who gave it to

  5. Stupid looser nurse looking for work!

    nurseprnRN replied to guest825264's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Oh, some of the old codgers think we're all loose. From a different perspective, I'm an old bat, so lots of my parts are looser than they used to

  6. My patient showed me her farts.

    nurseprnRN replied to CrunchBerries's topic in General Nursing

    Mexican food, huh? That accounts for the

  7. Nurses found out what im making, dont know how ?

    nurseprnRN replied to arack05's topic in General Nursing

    If anybody asks you directly what your raise was, you smile and say, "Not half what we're all worth here. Wanna go for coffee after work? How's that new puppy of yours working out?" They don't...

  8. RN Diagnosis Chronological order

    nurseprnRN replied to allinoneplace01's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Chronological means time-referenced, and prioritizing means in order of importance. I have never heard of listing nursing diagnoses chronologically, only in priority order. That doesn't mean what...

  9. Student Health Survey

    nurseprnRN replied to augurey's topic in General Students

    Again, they have to cover it. You do NOT have to pay a copay for this. In most states, physicals can be done by any licensed professional as specified in the regs regarding health licensure. I would...

  10. Cried at work today.

    nurseprnRN replied to 0.adamantite's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    1) I completely agree with above posters about your exhaustion making you more susceptible to this sort of reaction. Stop working so much overtime for six weeks and see if you feel better. 2) Am I...

  11. Nursing as a Second Career...can I get financial aid with a graduate degree.

    nurseprnRN replied to msdee69's topic in General Students

    There's absolutely no reason to do that. If your goal is to get a degree and take the NCLEX as fast as possible, go to a community college, which, it appears, you could afford out-of-pocket. $70-85K...

  12. Student Health Survey

    nurseprnRN replied to augurey's topic in General Students

    Your insurance might not pay for a physical, but that does not mean you can't have one. You can always go to a free-standing clinic and pay cash or credit card. There's nothing the matter with an...

  13. Am I overstepping my boundaries? WWYD?

    nurseprnRN replied to Velarey's topic in General Nursing

    Nice impulse, but probably misguided as it's based in an incomplete understanding of how nursing education works at that level. If your BFF was the director of the program it MIGHT (just might, not...

  14. Can scientific types go into nursing?

    nurseprnRN replied to Young Tangerine's topic in General Nursing

    No, it's not. PAs are good technicians and some have good diagnostic skills, but they cannot practice independently, ever, only as physician appendages. Advanced nurse practitioners are licensed...

  15. Can scientific types go into nursing?

    nurseprnRN replied to Young Tangerine's topic in General Nursing

    That's because "people" have no freaking clue what nurses know and how we use it. You can absolutely use your "scientific drive" in nursing, to the max. Don't listen to "people" who don't know much...

  16. Do you KNOW what nursing is?

    nurseprnRN replied to Glycerine82's topic in General Students

    With whom? My answer, since a lot of faculties don't seem to teach it, is that you are in school to learn to be a good nursing diagnostician, in the same way a med student is learning to be a...

  17. Test on July 15 2015 HELP

    nurseprnRN replied to nursebabyxoxo's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  19. days off- a rant

    nurseprnRN replied to Fruit Sucker's topic in General Nursing

    One of the most beautiful things about your cell phone: You can block numbers. I also like the idea of having the ringtone set to zero for the hospital number and checking the voice mail afterwards....

  20. How to deal with stereotypes and vicious people

    nurseprnRN replied to rnhopeful2014's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I agree with Heathermaizey about the "only want certain responses, only supportive please, I'm too vulnerable to handle anything else now" thing. Nope, we're all professionals or aspiring...

  21. Crazy clinicals instructor doesn't like us using the restroom?

    nurseprnRN replied to JESSICAAA159's topic in General Students

    Anybody have this thread remind you of that scene in Sybil where her crazy mother fills the child's bladder up with ice-water, ties her to the leg of the grand piano, pounds on the piano until the...

  22. RN to BSN program: need help with EBP course

    nurseprnRN replied to pinedaw14's topic in Western Governors University

    You can lead a horse to water ... Perhaps the OP will

  23. 75 questions.. Worried

    nurseprnRN replied to AB1212's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    MY grandmother used to sing that to me, it having been popular when she was a girl before WWI. Now I can pass it on even more. Great tune, huh? I never heard the verses, just the chorus, before I...

  24. A normal story, with no 'sex'

    nurseprnRN replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    If left for awhile like that, the muscles tighten to the point where increased force requiring anesthesia will be necessary to replace it. Increased risk related to the force and the anesthesia,...
