If you search here for think like a nurse you will find some better ideas. Memorizing facts will not make you a nurse. And will not help for more than half of the questions. They want to know about how safe a nurse you'll be, that's judgement. Look f...

I think the references to climbing heights and the mountain metaphors remind us that when we first begin to learn things we're really excited. And due to the limited nature of our experience (the bounded nature of our mind) we aren't able to take the...

This appears to be a three-year-old thread. If the original poster is still here perhaps he or she could let us know what happened?

I think that this falls under the category of "no good deed goes unpunished," or at least un-complained about. I agree with the comments that this is both a ridiculous and sad question to feel you have to ask. Put it out if your mind, give your gift...

The The question is asking about "goal directed therapy." Your goal in treating shock is to provide adequate tissue oxygenation. Therefore, what two measurements tell you about tissue oxygenation? CVP tells you about volume, an important concept in...

Both: you would document the volume of D5W in the I&O, and the 1mg/hr of morphine on the medications. Describe the bag's contents and drug rate accurately: D5W 100cc with morphine 100mg, 1mg/cc, 1mg/hr It is also impermissible to substitute a d...

Why is shock bad? Because tissues are starved of oxygen and means to achieve homeostasis. Now reconsider your answer. If still unclear, ask me to expand on this. If you've really read the chapter twice, try it again with this in mind.

Found this searching nursing care plan in the search bar. #10 very useful information I think. You are in school to learn to be a nursing diagnostician and treat people for what you diagnose. Yes, you are. You think it's all about learning how to do...

Is that 2.5 years all as an RN, or is your manager correct that you have only been employed AS AN RN accurate? if you want to resign, all you write is, "Dear Managername, I will be resigning my position on Floor as of DATE. My last shift will be DATE...

He won't be doing any conceiving, since he presumably has no uterus (although in some of these cases they find that too). However, assuming he had normal testes, vas, and spermatogenesis, he could have reconstructive surgery or, failing that, semen r...

Short answer: it is routine for HR minions to consult the state database on employment for work comp claims on new applicants. Every employer of more than a certain size must pay work comp premium for its employees. This means ... Employment data. T...

Reading that 27-year-old paper (which cites papers from the 80s) does not support the contention that AF causes deep venous thrombosis. The best it can do is say that they may be associated, but association is not causation. (It also says that there ...

My fave like this was not me, but the hospital operator. One day she said over the overhead, "Paging Dr. .... , please call the operator, Dr. .... ." And then not realizing her mic was still live, she said, "... That *** ****." Brought down the house...

Not quite perfection since DVT isn't caused by AF. But otherwise ...

"Secondary to" means "caused by." DVT is not caused by atrial fibrillation, so don't say that. For that matter, atrial fibrillation doesn't cause DVT, either. Atrial fib may allow clots to form in the atria, and so if one floats out of the atrium an...

HR departments also routinely run checks with the work comp system to see if an applicant has a work comp claim. Part of that will disclose all previous employers and dates of employment. I agree that "being oriented but not hired" makes no sense.

Gotta agree with that one. Seems that often the ones who go to apply to nursing school because they felt the breath of God in their hair are the ones who are the most shocked to find that, at least in this secular country, most people do not feel tha...

If the truth hurts... Just bec the cutoff GPA is 3.0 doesn't mean your 3.0 is good enough to be accepted. Schools have lots of experience with failing students. That's one reason they say they won't take someone who failed before. If they say come ...

Suicide is for people who want to end their life. Euthanasia is for people who want to let their life end. Big difference.

Definition of clickbait. Right?

And wonder why people who are not nurses are on a website called AllNURSES. Just to make us crazy?

This is a problem that will solve itself. It stands to reason that there is a limited number of spots both for those programs and for their graduates, even if there will be more in the future there will still be alot more staff jobs than advanced job...

lets be clear that *no* new grad is more than minimally competent to hit the ground running. New direct entry ADN grads are no more competent than new grad direct entry BSN grads. They all have the same amount of clinical time as students, this is re...

Defend your choice by using Nanda. I used the original in school, from 2012, there's a newer one now. My faculty liked it that I did.

Anything worth doing is worth working hard for. They thought it would be easy? They think doing more ought to be? With greater responsibility comes ... greater responsibility to know what you're doing and why. You should figure out the comparing your...
