  1. BSN vs. MSN - Nurse Practitioner?

    CuriousMe replied to keegs13's topic in General Students

    I'm going to ask a question back that may make it easier for folks to answer your questions. What is your understanding of what an NP

  2. For those of you who are certified in CPR?

    CuriousMe replied to prime11214's topic in General Students

    It's not a case of "not good enough" but a case that, as a first year student, I wasn't prepared for the responsibility of running a code....that's

  3. Why these meds... please help me figure this out.

    CuriousMe replied to LaurenMarie's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    You gave his Hx, but what is he in the hospital

  4. For those of you who are certified in CPR?

    CuriousMe replied to prime11214's topic in General Students

    In both the ICU and the ED, there are small step stools in each room just for this purpose. Also, keep in mind that the bed lowers as well. The only time I've seen someone straddling a patient to do...

  5. For those of you who are certified in CPR?

    CuriousMe replied to prime11214's topic in General Students

    I didn't read that as a "put down" but more as in clinicals, there will be much more qualified folks to handle a code than the nursing student. Not a put down, just a fact.....one I'm thankful for,...

  6. For those of you who are certified in CPR?

    CuriousMe replied to prime11214's topic in General Students

    Maybe this varies with state law....but what they told us is that, as a health professional, I must respond when I'm on duty. If I'm not currently on duty, I have the same responsibility to as anyone...

  7. delayed OHSU admission notifications?

    CuriousMe replied to Cinquefoil's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I think it's more likely that like a game of telephone, the fact that they used to inform everyone a month after all the other schools has gotten twisted in to, "they told everyone a month later than...

  8. delayed OHSU admission notifications?

    CuriousMe replied to Cinquefoil's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Are you sure they didn't let folks know for a month after the date listed on the website? I know that before 2009 they notified applicants about admissions decisions a month later than everyone else...

  9. Math problem help

    CuriousMe replied to Lynn79's topic in General Students

    If it's 1/4 scalp cleanser, then it's 3/4 of water. You know that you're using 50mL of water.....so that's 3/4 of your volume. You need to figure out how much 1/4 is. So, 50 / 3 = 16.6666667 or...

  10. BSN vs. MSN - Nurse Practitioner?

    CuriousMe replied to keegs13's topic in General Students

    It's 2015....BUT....that is a recommendation by the ANA, who isn't a credentialing organization. So far, no one has said definitively that anyone will need a DNP (Doctorate of Nursing Practice) by...

  11. Nurse Called Police/CPS on Parents over Jaundice

    CuriousMe replied to Simply Complicated's topic in General Nursing

    That someone is organizing a rally doesn't have any correlation to what

  12. Nurse Called Police/CPS on Parents over Jaundice

    CuriousMe replied to Simply Complicated's topic in General Nursing

    The parents put out a Press

  13. Nurse Called Police/CPS on Parents over Jaundice

    CuriousMe replied to Simply Complicated's topic in General Nursing

    But who is claiming that this

  14. Nurse Called Police/CPS on Parents over Jaundice

    CuriousMe replied to Simply Complicated's topic in General Nursing

    No worries, they weren't offered...I didn't

  15. Nurse Called Police/CPS on Parents over Jaundice

    CuriousMe replied to Simply Complicated's topic in General Nursing

    My apologies if I misinterpreted that you were directing your comment to me, in the post in which you quoted my comment, and then defined the topic I wrote

  16. Nurse Called Police/CPS on Parents over Jaundice

    CuriousMe replied to Simply Complicated's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the unnecessary definition. I didn't say it was a news source. I've worked for plenty of organizations that put out Press Releases, and I've never worked for a news organization. What I...

  17. Nurse Called Police/CPS on Parents over Jaundice

    CuriousMe replied to Simply Complicated's topic in General Nursing

    The blog post linked above quotes a Press Release.....but it looks suspect to me, as the Press Release doesn't state where it's from. Generally a Press Release will have contact information at the...

  18. immature nursing students

    CuriousMe replied to bananabubbletea's topic in General Students

    Why are you insulted? No one said all 21 year-olds are immature. Certainly no one called you immature. 21 year-old individuals are young, and often haven't yet matured; this is not uncommon. What...

  19. BSN vs. MSN - Nurse Practitioner?

    CuriousMe replied to keegs13's topic in General Students

    After you graduate your BSN program, then pass your NCLEX....you'll have to go back to school to learn to be a nurse practitioner....that will most likely be an MSN program, but could also be a DNP...

  20. Is this a HIPAA violation?

    CuriousMe replied to Violetdiscovery's topic in General Students

    I'd check with your clinical prof. We weren't allowed to take photos of anything. I agree with the above poster, why couldn't the both of you just copy down the lab

  21. Why aren't there better incentives for obtaining a BSN degree?

    CuriousMe replied to labelle777's topic in General Nursing

    Did you notice the question mark after my remark? I wasn't making a statement, I was questioning the post I

  22. Going to hospitals for clinical?

    CuriousMe replied to prime11214's topic in General Students

    Folks don't go to the hospital the night before lab....they go to the hospital the night before they'll be at clinicals in the hospital caring for a patient. It's not uncommon for a nursing student...

  23. Is it like this at every school or is it just mine?

    CuriousMe replied to prime11214's topic in General Students

    We didn't have a choice either....it's pretty common in nursing

  24. Why aren't there better incentives for obtaining a BSN degree?

    CuriousMe replied to labelle777's topic in General Nursing

    So.....they should flood the market with ADN's

  25. HELP with my care plan!!!!!!!

    CuriousMe replied to Guest 11/08/18's topic in General Students

    Are you basing your care plan on your patient's medical diagnosis, or on your assessment? (hint, it should be on your assessment) If you are basing your care plan on your assessment, we have no way to...
