  1. I'm the Only One Doing Assessments?

    AliNajaCat replied to SunnyPupRN's topic in General Nursing

    Nailed that one. I would have a little chat with your facility risk manager who will be very interested in this, and may reinforce the idea that patients can, in fact, refuse, but that falsified...

  2. Clinical Failure

    AliNajaCat replied to student1919's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    And thank goodness for

  3. titers

    AliNajaCat replied to KellyVT's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Public health departments often have vaccines at very low cost.

  4. Help with a third nursing diagnosis.

    AliNajaCat replied to krissyycupcake's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Common misconception, although it sounds good if you don't have any experience or you swallow everything that's fed you. If you don't think risk for infection isn't a BIG priority in any patient...

  5. Hiv question

    AliNajaCat replied to Lanie_82NS's topic in General Students

    Suggest you look at some of the side effects of the meds, and think about that, too. Good preliminary ideas,

  6. Care plan books..yes or no?

    AliNajaCat replied to LaBellaVita's topic in General Students

    This is fine if you think all that nurses do is dependent on the medical diagnosis. And that none of your patients will ever, ever have something going on that isn't related to the medical diagnosis,...

  7. Freaking Out

    AliNajaCat replied to longliveavacados's topic in General Students

    Of course you feel like you don't know anything, because you don't. Fortunately, when you get out of school, the place that hires you knows that too, and will not expect you to perform at the same...

  8. License to another state

    AliNajaCat replied to jelc's topic in General Students

    Probably not. Contact the Maryland Board of Nursing and ask them. (888) 202-9861 (410) 585-1900 Home [h=1]Licensure by Endorsement[/h] [h=3]Basic Steps to Endorse to Maryland: ​[/h]1....

  9. Nursing student Statement/Essay

    AliNajaCat replied to selenmartin1's topic in General Students

    The words like "beautiful, passion, symphonizes (??), undeniable inclination, selfless ..." do you really talk like that? Bigger words do not make anybody sound smarter or more convincing. Please tone...

  10. Pediatric Dosage Calculation Problems

    AliNajaCat replied to smtha620's topic in General Students

    Trying to be charitable here.... is she failing in other ways? I'd take a printout to the head of the department and ask for clarification. If she is having other difficulties they may not be evident...

  11. Pediatric Dosage Calculation Problems

    AliNajaCat replied to smtha620's topic in General Students

    Seems nasty to give a little kid 4 IMs a day, but the dose is fine. Let's see here. Child is 22lbs = 10kg. Recommended dose is 80-160mg/kg/day That would be a total of 800 - 1600 mg/day, divided...

  12. MN nursing career-easy or not?

    AliNajaCat replied to oompaloompaninja's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'm a little confused. You're in school to prepare for the NCLEX for an RN license, or you're in a program preparing you for the NCLEX-PN to be an LPN? Few BoNs allow students in an RN program to take...

  13. Failed a class, not sure what to do now.

    AliNajaCat replied to Soytofu's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    See answers interspersed in bold

  14. Reoccurring small bowel obstruction

    AliNajaCat replied to Ksm142's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Look up the nursing diagnoses related to self-health maintenance and management and see what they suggest to you. NANDA-I 2015-2017. Sometimes the low-hanging fruit of "knowledge deficit" is really...

  15. What effect does corticosteroids have on bone healing?

    AliNajaCat replied to One Day's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    OK, so this is obviously homework. So to get more discussion out of more experienced people here, you have to explain what you already looked up and learned. Then we can help you. Hitting "send" is...

  16. Questions about Managing a case

    AliNajaCat replied to Marwan.hasan's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Well, not exactly. As nurses, we cannot make medical diagnoses and we don't prescribe medical plans of care, which is what would be the case here. If this is for a personal situation, you need to...

  17. Central line

    AliNajaCat replied to dcwang's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Um, yes, it is. The definition if a central line depends not where it's inserted in (e.g., subclavian or IJ or even EJ) but where it goes. PICC = Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter. There is no...

  18. skipping graduation/pinning?

    AliNajaCat replied to Fruit Sucker's topic in General Students

    I transferred into the college I graduated from after freshman year, so I missed the end-of-freshman-year pinning and capping ceremony there. Picked up my cap at the uniform store before I began...

  19. Central line

    AliNajaCat replied to dcwang's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    This is not a regulatory issue. However, if a case involving this ever got to court, you can bet that the INS standards would figure prominently. Also, whoever writes the P&P for the hospital...

  20. Help with a third nursing diagnosis.

    AliNajaCat replied to krissyycupcake's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    You can look at this as risk for injury, impaired urinary elimination, urinary retention; look those up in your NANDA-I 2015-2017 and see which defining characteristics fit your patient

  21. Care plan

    AliNajaCat replied to cheerbabiix33's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    1) I dont know what a box out is 2) I dont do your homework for you 3) Tell us what you think first. An RN prepares a nursing plan of care in the same way a doctor prepares a medical plan of care,...

  22. Please help!! Need help with math problem

    AliNajaCat replied to nursing859's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Nah, Im thinking probably in the morgue

  23. To the nurses: clinical instructor who called me out

    AliNajaCat replied to starrys's topic in General Students

    Don't forget that nursing isn't just what happens at bedside and nursing school isn't just to teach you bedside tasks. Being socialized into the role isn't something students ever think about but its...

  24. Driving nurse attributes (DNA) assessment??? Please help :(

    AliNajaCat replied to Ana112193's topic in General Nursing

    No idea what this is. What kind of things were on
