  1. I was reported for something I didnt actually do. Help.

    nurseprnRN replied to LisaF0115's topic in HIPAA Challenges

  2. Second chance

    nurseprnRN replied to fteru's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  3. Care Plan Priority HELP PLEASE!

    nurseprnRN replied to CarmenBurdett's topic in General Students

    Wait, what? Nurses can't make a nursing diagnosis based solely on a medical diagnosis. And you don't "pick" or "choose" one either. Read on. There is no magic list of medical diagnoses from which...

  7. Certifications to boost resume

    nurseprnRN replied to Mnmom86's topic in Case Management

    I don't think you can take a freestanding course in Interqual or Milliman-- whoever hires you will see that you get the training you'll need as part of their contract with whoever they use. You don't...

  8. Advice needed please hospital CM

    nurseprnRN replied to Ericad85's topic in Case Management

    Ships are not made to stay in port. Set sail and move out! So, like with any other new position, you'll start with just keeping up with the nuts and bolts, and after awhile you'll find yourself...

    nurseprnRN replied to rosy3's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  10. Stethoscope Bling?

    nurseprnRN replied to chorses4evr's topic in General Students

    Then there's that famous TV psychologist that says most people would be amazed at how little others think about them at all. Why do you need to be a "cute" nurse? Do you think any sick person is going...

  15. ESRD Nursing Diagnoses for Care Plan

    nurseprnRN replied to mckenziebrookee's topic in General Students

    There is no such nursing diagnosis as "risk for cardiac arrhythmias,"

  16. ESRD Nursing Diagnoses for Care Plan

    nurseprnRN replied to mckenziebrookee's topic in General Students

    You can't "come up" with a nursing diagnosis "risk for hypertension" because hypertension is a medical diagnosis. As a matter of fact, you're approaching the whole situation wrong. You can't make...

  17. Question

    nurseprnRN replied to cyndisextonNYRN's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Now, see, if you'd said that in the first place you'd have gotten a totally different response. I think it entirely likely that most of it would have been along the lines of, "Your faculty is wrong...

    nurseprnRN replied to Angeljho's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    There's nothing magic or confusing about APA citations. I have no idea why people can't follow the directions and the exemplars as a matter of routine. As for buying papers online, it's not hard to...

  19. Question

    nurseprnRN replied to cyndisextonNYRN's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Well, cyndisextonNYRN, if you're really an RN and don't know the answer, and he can't seem to figure it out from his textbooks or come here to ask on his own, then he'd be outta luck except for...

  20. How to NOT Aid a Cheater?

    nurseprnRN replied to Angeljho's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    APA is not rocket science. I learned how to cite papers in high school. If she can't (won't) learn it now because she's too old, then she's too old to be in any kind of educational program. Tell her...

  23. Non-invasive No-Touch Temporal Thermometers?

    nurseprnRN replied to Annie Wilkes RN's topic in General Nursing

    While they may or may not be accurate at reading a temperature, the fact that it isn't the same as a rectal temp is not why. The gold standard for body temp is pulmonary artery (core) blood temp,...
