  4. Nursing Care Plans/Diagnosis

    nurseprnRN replied to VeeVal's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    The 2010 Nursing Care Plans is a problem, not the least reason of which is that it is not one, not two, but three versions behind of the current NANDA-I nursing diagnoses, it probably being based on...

  5. It's all too fast.

    nurseprnRN replied to Lina1's topic in General Students

  16. How many study hours is equal to one credit.

    nurseprnRN replied to Fski's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    If the OP is asking, "How does the number of hours in a classroom translate into number of credit hours?" there is no good answer. A lecture course with 4.5 hours per week (1.5 hours x 3 days) may or...

  21. Ethics

    nurseprnRN replied to futurepsychrn's topic in General Students

    As my sweet old grandmother used to say, "Some of us are put on this earth to be examples to others ... one way or another." Keep your head down, ask for clarifications but not in a smart-alecky...

    nurseprnRN replied to hellohihowareyou's topic in Nursing Student Assistance
