    nurseprnRN replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

  3. Meal plans for nursing students with families

    nurseprnRN replied to e16nurse's topic in General Students

    Picky stops being picky if he gets hungry enough. :) When my kids were picky, I didn't go out of my way to feed them food I knew they hated, but I put simple, nutritious food on the table and if they...

  4. Failed a course

    nurseprnRN replied to catnessk's topic in General Students

    You will probably not be able to transfer any nursing credits (if you have any). This program says it's for people with a previous degree-- do you have one? One course is not the end of the world. I...

  6. Western Governors and Transfer Nursing credits

    nurseprnRN replied to empatheticRN's topic in General Nursing

  7. Legally how many doses can a nurse hold?

    nurseprnRN replied to Donnagg123's topic in Patient Medications

    Whenever somebody tells you something like this, ask them to show it to you in writing or on an official (e.g., governmental) website. Especially when they use the word

    nurseprnRN replied to pixiestudent2's topic in Patient Medications

    nurseprnRN replied to manda90's topic in General Students

    Please don't use txtspk here. It's not allowed per our Terms of Service (TOS) and it's almost impossible to understand you. OP, you're gonna think this is weird, but seriously, get the Physiology...

  13. Impaired skin integrity--help! Is my care plan correct?

    nurseprnRN replied to lj016's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    More or less, and you might realize that though the last Ackley is a very popular book it is working on expired, outdated NANDA-I nursing diagnoses, so do yourself a favor and get the current NANDA-I...

  14. Simulation lab is getting out of hand

    nurseprnRN replied to aeris99's topic in General Students

    It's "rein," as in, to control a horse by using the reins. But I take your point. HouTx makes a better one-- simulations aren't just for playacting. I cringe to remember one of the first times I...

  15. Opinions!!

    nurseprnRN replied to 81shelbay's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    The old saw about say what you're gonna say, say it, then say what you said applies here. Say it, say that you said it, and then write the introduction. Writing isn't always linear. Written...

    Gravity. Motion. Optics. Electricity. Fluid dynamics. Are you asking why you ought to take physics? I know at least one excellent university where all nursing students have to take intro physics...

  21. Western Governors and Transfer Nursing credits

    nurseprnRN replied to empatheticRN's topic in General Nursing

    Nonsense. Plagiarism is using someone else's work and passing it off as your own without attribution. Your own work is your to resubmit if you like. Rework a little of it if it makes you feel better...

  22. care plan help: goal for impaired skin integrity

    nurseprnRN replied to angelala's topic in Nursing Student Assistance
