Would I be rude if I asked you for the guide? Thanks!

I am a senior nursing student at the Ammerman Campus, which campus do you attend? I took most of my pre reqs at that campus as well. Need anything let me know!

Does anyone know where to purchase a pulse oximeter? The fingertip version is all I want. I just did a clinical rotation at a hospital and they were extremely hard to find. That was one of my gripes at this hospital and I may do my next rotation there because it is relatively close to my home. Thanks!

Carotid, because it supplies needed bloodflow to the brain.

Hello, I am in my 1st semester of 4 and my brain is fried. All I can say is DON'T GIVE UP! You worked too hard to get this far, please don't stop. You are a role model for me and everyone else. Yes, I almost feel like throwing the towel in too, but I can't. I have wanted this all my life. You can do it. We make a lot of compromises in life and right now you have to sacrifice a messy house for study time. Oh, my house is a complete disaster as my family will not help straighten up..what is my reward????? as soon as I am a working RN I am getting someone to clean my house on a weekly basis. I would have someone do it now but finances prevent that from happening. So I close my eyes and forge ahead with my studies. You can do it, I know you can...you are to close to throw it away! I don't know how much of an encouragement I can be but please stick it out! God doesn't give us what we can't handle. I have 2 tests today 1 in Health assessment and the other in fundamentals. I actually want today to be over so I can forge ahead. I will say my prayers and carry my trinkets in my pocket (worry stone, angel and a worry doll my daughter made me), and think positive. Hopefully my countless hours of study will pay off. IF not I have 1 more test to go in each class and will just have to do better. Just remember NEVER GIVE UP! You can always PM me if you need to, I will always try to help!

Thanks to all for guiding me with your answers. I appreciate it so much!

Hello I am hoping someone can help me, as I am writing my first care plan. I need to have definitions of all my patient's medical diagnosis. In her chart it said Organic Effective Disorder, so I looked this up and can't find anything. WHne I did an online search after looking in my Taber's it came up Organic Affective Disorder.....which is correct and what is the definition of this disorder? ALso when I pulled up OAD, bipolar came up, are they one in the same? Thanks!

I have always wanted to be a nurse. I can remember dreaming of it since the age of 5. I did get accepted to the nursing program at Russell Sage College in 1978. I got confused with a five letter word....PARTY :balloons: ....instead of STUDY. I did not do well and dropped out. At 43 I knew something was missing in my life..I have wonderful children and a great husband. I was working in banking at the time and I knew it was time for a career change. My husband and I talked about me going back to school part time. Thankfully after 1 1/2 yrs I got accepted into the Nursing program at SCCC. Here I am living my dream and hoping to make it a reality. I am in my first semester of the nursing program and doing okay so far. Good luck to all!

I attend Suffolk County Community College in Selden NY. Hopeful graduate May 2007!
