    ItsThatJenGirl replied to leahashleigh123's topic in General Students

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to leahashleigh123's topic in General Students

    I understand the rationale to choose the most relevant answer relating to the diagnosis, but wouldn't that also be ineffective breathing pattern? And why would "due to" be bolded (or even mentioned at...

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to jeastridge's topic in General Nursing

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to bailyoneohnine's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Nursing school isn't preparing me for the real world

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to yesrun's topic in General Students

    I feel like the more I learn, the more I realize how much I don't know. I think that's true for most nursing students. I don't we will actually know what we're doing until we've been practicing for a...

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Reagan2010's topic in General Students

    I would tell my instructor. It's not a HIPAA violation (as far as I know), because it's your medical record that you have legal access to. But you didn't go through the proper channels to view your...
