  1. Nursg Diagnosis Book? Daytonite?

    ladybugsea replied to RNKel's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I like Nursing Diagnosis Handbook: A Guide to Planning Care, 7th Edition, by Betty J. Ackley and Gail B. Ladwig mentioned above. I purchased the older orange edition for $4 used on Amazon. It's a...

  2. Arterial lines, TLCs, and vents

    ladybugsea posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I just read in my notes that an A line is required for a vent. Is this always true? I had a pt last week on vent on CPAP with only a TLC (unless I missed it, yikes!!). Did the pt not need the A...

  3. Arterial lines, TLCs, and vents

    ladybugsea replied to ladybugsea's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    That makes a LOT more sense now!! I just couldn't get it at clinical and asked the nurse and my instructor, and still didn't get it. When we learned about central lines, they didn't say anything...

    ladybugsea replied to ladybugsea's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Thanks. So the guidewire stays in the vein? Why do they need a new

  6. dumb scrubs question

    ladybugsea posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm a student doing a summer externship in a birth center. A passion for birth is what led me to nursing school, and I am so excited to have found this opportunity!! My question is about scrubs....

    ladybugsea replied to ladybugsea's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thanks for the replies! I'm glad that I probably won't have to buy scrubs

  8. University of Massachusetts Lowell

    ladybugsea replied to my3kids's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I went to UML for grad school, in another field. I hated the department (mathematics), but it seemed like an okay school and was so much cheaper than a private college. I'm currently in an ADN program...

    ladybugsea replied to babysfingers's topic in Ob/Gyn

    This is why I am in nursing school. I hope to eventually become a

  10. 'Real' nurse's kit for toddler play?

    ladybugsea posted a topic in General Nursing

    My daughter's second birthday is coming up, and a few days later I start nursing school. :) I got my Littmann recently and I let her 'use' it and she loved it. Not even really in her ears, but she...

  11. How to remove stains from lab coat??

    ladybugsea posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I start clinicals in September, and I've been using my lab coat for Micro. I have been careful but it does have a few tiny stains from class. Will they come out with bleach? I was also wondering if...

  12. Different editions of nursing textbooks

    ladybugsea replied to Ginny516's topic in General Students

    I have a detailed schedule for my first few weeks of class, and we are actually given page numbers for readings. That alone makes the correct edition necessary for

  13. CLEP classes / study guides

    ladybugsea replied to Boston-RN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I don't believe that CLEP puts out any study guides. I used REA guides and had excellent success. After some short-term but very serious studying, I easily passed Psych and Human Growth and...

  14. How to remove stains from lab coat??

    ladybugsea replied to ladybugsea's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    And the verdict is in -- bleach took the stains out completely! A soak cycle in my washer got most of it out. There was still a faint yellow spot, which I spot treated with bleach on a paper towel...

  15. 'Real' nurse's kit for toddler play?

    ladybugsea replied to ladybugsea's topic in General Nursing

    Excellent point about the earpieces!!! I didn't even think of the choking hazzard, or getting pushed into little ears. I will stick to the toy kit.

  16. Do you ever feel like you will be a student forever?

    ladybugsea replied to cad4296's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    casi -- You're 22!! At 29, I'm even jealous that you've figured out nursing is for you at an age I wish I would have (i.e. no husband and kids at that point for me, I WISH I could still be living...

  17. How to remove stains from lab coat??

    ladybugsea replied to ladybugsea's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks. I tried doing searches but came up with nothing. Also tried a google search. I haven't actually tried to get them out yet, as I still have a few more weeks of

  18. Do you ever feel like you will be a student forever?

    ladybugsea replied to cad4296's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yep!! Got a BA in '99, an MS in '03, took '04 off, decided on a career change to ADN and started my prereqs in '05. Will finally have my ADN in '08 and plan to get an MSN. By the time I get my ADN,...

  19. Are croc shoes white enough??????????

    ladybugsea replied to RNSacht's topic in General Nursing

    Forgot to add that I emailed Crocs.com that it would be nice if their professional line came in more traditional colors.

  20. Are croc shoes white enough??????????

    ladybugsea replied to RNSacht's topic in General Nursing

    I recently asked the same question. I ordered the Italian style Comfort Clogs and they aren't nearly as comfortable as my Crocs. They don't have the 'squishy' factor, and the arch isn't great; the...

  23. 'White' Crocs??

    ladybugsea replied to ladybugsea's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Thanks, Michelle. That's what I wanted to know! I think I will try a pair of the ComfortClogs. I can always use them just for lab it they are a problem, and they are only ~$10. I really like low,...

    ladybugsea replied to ladybugsea's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    We are allowed to wear anything white, as long as it's okay with the hospital we are working in. rninme -- Yes, I am looking at the pairs that don't have holes in the top! Which ComfortClogs do you...
