    3 main nursing assessments and 3 nursing interventions for asthma attacks

    Dating while in nursing school?

    Pca_85revived replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Students

    Sometimes, just seeing them weeds them out. If the personality sucks, too, that gets a cuter guy with a chance rejected. Not tons, not trying to sound like a jerk. Just

    3 Nursing Assessments And Nursing Interventions When A Pt Becomes Unconscious

    Pca_85revived replied to Patrick Villamor's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'm guessing OP already knows ABC? If you want specifics, there's a million scenarios that could turn out many different ways and there isn't enough information posted to go on. What are they admitted...

    Dating while in nursing school?

    Pca_85revived replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Students

    PS-I really hope you understand the legal risk involved in contacting someone who doesn't want to be. It's very easy to get put in jail and honestly, I would have had a restraining order by now....

    Please help guide me

    Pca_85revived replied to Rlandreth's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Talk to the director of nursing or human resources. I'm even venturing you could bring up that you working that much is as dangerous as the people who were working high being there. I know it sounds...

    Dating while in nursing school?

    Pca_85revived replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Students

    She tried to turn you down, basically hoping you'd lose interest by the time she was out of school. You're making yourself sound really stalkerish and disrespectful, just based on what you've posted....

    Unconventional hair colors

    Pca_85revived replied to ScientistSalarian's topic in General Nursing

    I know an LPN in a group home with a mohawk and another with pink hair. Honestly, I'm all for it, but most of your coworkers and patients won't be. Can't you wear a wig or temp hair color at

    Being called an idiot

    Pca_85revived replied to historylovinglpn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    ''Doctor, I've gathered all of the information needed on the patient we're BOTH responsible for to ensure there are no errors made and OUR patient doesn't receive the wrong treatment, getting both or...

    Jealous of my residency

    Pca_85revived replied to Sinkorswim's topic in First Year After Licensure

    They're not your friends. You bonded with them in the living hell that is nursing school. You chose a path you felt best for your professional growth and so did they. I'm a total stranger and applaud...

    Binded with a contract and trying to see the positive side of it.

    Pca_85revived replied to nursejaclynxx's topic in General Nursing

    You'd lose at least 25k between the contract breaking fee and working for what agency aides make where I live. Ohio isn't exactly NYC. If you don't need that 25k, I'd give it a very happy home for...

    What do you do to volunteer and give back?

    Pca_85revived replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

    I'm going to sound awful, but I think my almost fifteen years in the medical field is enough for humans. Maybe a five or ten to a homeless person once in a while, a twenty to the Red Cross. Animals...

    Is this considered abandonment?

    Pca_85revived replied to Maggadale's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    No. It's just something they say to scare you. I heard this directly from the people who run the STNA registry for my state. The guy actually laughed, though I don't recommend doing that upon...

    Being Gay and a Male Nursing Student

    Pca_85revived replied to RShieldsSN14's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I'm not a guy, so I apologize for posting here if that's not ok. Your good coworkers won't care about your sexual orientation, just about how you are to work with and the care you give. I've worked...

    revoked approval for CNI in orange county?

    Pca_85revived replied to jackieApple's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    They can withdraw approval for a number of reasons, returning to review what the school has done to fix the problem or problems some time later. Those actions are what I'd focus on, because they're...

    How old were you when you started nursing school?

    Pca_85revived replied to Joe V's topic in General Students

    I was 21 when I started an LPN program I came (thisclose) to finishing, but didn't. I had a stressful bartending job that was a huge appearance based popularity contest and worked way more than I...

    Dropping out of nursing school

    Pca_85revived replied to varonte69's topic in General Students

    If I were you, I'd research every alternative prior to dropping out. Starting with cheaper child care and the websites pp's have mentioned. What kind of program are you in? I'm asking because you can...

    Tri-C Clinical sites

    Pca_85revived replied to AnnieTheFrog's topic in School, College Programs

    Do you not drive? I didn't go to Tri-C, but some of their students were at the same clinical sites as me. I remember more than one saying how grateful they were most if their sites were accessible by...

    Signs You Won't Pass A Survey

    Sorry to hear that. In my years, I've only experienced one deficiency free survey, if that makes you feel any

    Am I able to get a raise once I get my BSN?

    Wow, and I thought the fifty cent difference for ASN vs BSN offered by the hospital in my old city was insanely

    I can do your job, you can't do mine.

    Pca_85revived replied to crobson221's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    So, you're working in an understaffed environment you feel is unsafe. You feel a loyalty to them and are looking for alternatives to quitting? Tell them just that. Not the nurses who won't help, the...

    ADVICE: Director of nursing DRAMA:/ unfair treatment? or Do I need to toughen up?

    Pca_85revived replied to lmjsierra's topic in Home Health

    Why would you want to work for them? Home health work for LPNs is pretty similar as far as pay rate and skills you get to use ib the area I'm in, my apologies if yours is different. You deserve a lot...

    Taking phone calls and calling Patients on days off

    Pca_85revived replied to Bonosgrrl's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    However long it takes to deal with all per day off, multiplied by two. Add that to your hours worked per week and divide your paycheck by it. If you find yourself laughing or crying at the results, do...

    graduated but still short on hours?

    Pca_85revived replied to AngryNursingStudent's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I feel bad for you, but was this the first time you saw.......I guess.......a hot mess? There's usually warning signs before a big kaboom of a disaster like this. Instructors not showing up? Student...

    skipping graduation/pinning?

    Pca_85revived replied to Fruit Sucker's topic in General Students

    For my post to make sense, I have to give you a bit of background. I failed my first LPN program by a fraction of a percent, the last day of class. I reapplied and failed again, this time for...
